I just jammed pencils in my ears and scooped my eyeballs out with a melon baller.

WHY ARE THEY BURNING THE MELONS?!

Is the name of the town of Seahaven a reference to the Sweethaven from Popeye the movie:

Sweet Sweethaven
God must love us
We the people
Love Sweethaven
Hurray hurray Sweethaven
Flags are wavin'
Swept people from the sea
Safe from democracy
Sweeter than a melon tree
Put here for you and me
Sweethaven
Sweet Sweethaven
God must love us
We the people
Of Sweethaven
God must have landed here
Why else would he strand us here
Where the air is nice and clear
Sweethaven even sounds so near
To Heaven
God will always bless Sweethaven
God will always bless Sweethaven
God will always bless Sweethaven

No one made a conscious decision to run him over? Okay, lets say a cop pulls a gun and his foot slips a bit, and he fires the gun accidentally straight into the pickpocket. You yourself imply that now the analogy is equal...

But even if it is not even, this is what it boils down to:
A completely incompetent driver, worse than a 90 year old blind man with chronic seizures, is out there driving. That is pretty evident and only an idiot would disagree with the video showing overwhelming proof. Therefore, this woman should NEVER, EVER drive. I would have hated that to be some seven-eight year old kid that she "did not see."

At the same time I understand @ChaosEngine, even if I somewhat disagree with him. The car could have easily crushed his head like a melon, left him a vegetable for the state to take of forever, and the funny part of that is even a rapist doesn't get that sentence. Obviously everyone here is for corporal punishment and the death penalty--if you believe this "karma" punishment is appropriate.

This and the melon kung fu ad were the best.

The melon bit got me!

Are the melons and other fruits that it creates "Organic", because I only eat things that have a sticker on them that says "Organic".

Strap a CCD to his melon and you've got a pretty cheap steadycam.


Cheap? What do you feed your cat?

Oh shit, I forgot about the cyberpuck, which sounds like a robotic Shakespeare character. <- boom goes the dynamite.
And the whole 1280 x 800 smacks of bs to me in the same way Forte's claims of 512x460 did: adding together the per-eye resolution. Granted, they seem to be upfront about the vertical resolution of 800 (which isn't great for 2012 either) but that horizontal res? Boolshit! It might be 1280 for an iguana with eyes on either side of it's head, looking at different shit per eyeball all its life. But for we humans, each eyeball pretty much looks at the same thing, not accounting for parallax of course. So I'd say the actual horizontal resolution might approach 800, depending on how much they want each eye to "share" as it were. So it's essentially a giant square.

Naysaying/partypooping aside, it still looks promising. There's nothing quite like moving your head around to observe a virtual world: it affords the kind of immersion you can't touch with a standard monitor setup, I don't care how big it is. <- that's what she never says. Boom again!

Back in '96, I bought a Forte VFX-1 which was a VR headset with stereoscopic vision, very comfy over-the-ear headphones, and motion tracking. All for about $1000.
Each eyeball had it's own little LCD screen (263x230) and I can tell you that it looked like pure ass. Despite it's shortcomings, I played the original System Shock with it and I still have very fond memories of skulking through Citadel station with that thing strapped to my melon.
While I'm not interested in contributing to a kickstarter campaign (after all, that's why we have venture capitalists), I may be interested in a finished retail product.

Ha! I, too, bought a VFX-1 headset. (Had to buy a separate Number Nine S3 Virge card as well so the interface cable would work). I never did play SS1 on it, but I did roll through Quake 1 and all of it's mission packs, as well as used it for Looking Glass' Flight Unlimited. I never used the Cyberpuck controller, as it wasn't very intuitive to me. Once GLQuake came out (which had to run at nothing less than 512x384) that was the final nail in the coffin. But fun times while it lasted.
