Correctomundo, but I don't believe that many drivers were not paying attention. The person taking the video had a light on the very first car and also during the whole video. There were enough brake lights from cars approaching the wreckage but that didn't seem to slow down oncoming traffic too much. I'm thinking there must have been something distracting that many drivers before they could notice what was happening up ahead. Billboards, neon signs, other drivers can be a distraction that calls for your attention also and can be distracting no matter if you are a good driver or not. "Expect the unexpected."

Afterthought: The distraction may have even been the cars pulled over on the shoulder of the road too.

Amazing how they can do that without a flashing neon sign.

I like the neon coils of dog poo.

They cut it off too early! In the next scene, it grabs the guys hand and leads him through a psychedelic neon tunnel into it's giant spaceship.

Things i'd like answered...

:47 What is the neon sanctuary sign from? (they had "sanctuary" in Logans Run but don't know if there was a neon sign)

:50 Is the SETI helicopter from anything?

1:01 Tatoo on womans arm seems familiar, but can't place it. Also is the scanning the eyes with a handheld device from something in particular?

1:18 The ROBOT sign seems familiar. Probably due to the font and particularly the "R".

2:22 What is the image on the watch from?

2:42 What is the Oragami and toy car from? Also is Quark from something?

2:45 Glowing object?

2:52 Chinese looking logos and walking through doorish type thing?

3:29 Can't place what that is from, but looks super familiar.

There's a followup interview with one of the devs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1Zym3v8tL4

He said that in this trailer they wanted to show the game in daytime because you rarely see that in cyberpunk films. So cool; he goes on to say that they have the neon nighttime look down as the game is FIRST PERSON / has a full day/night cycle.

I'm not at all convinced of that (Clinton's political career being over).

It would be the sane response. And yet, clearly the DNC (and US politics in general) aren't reined in by trivialities like sanity. I think that unless the fickle public gets really riled up over this, the DNC would swing just as hard for Clinton or some other corporate-friendly type over anybody like Sanders or Warren in 2020.

Sanders being an Independent in the Senate was held against him hard by party bigwigs. Somewhat understandably. That being said, Sanders' brand of "Independent" was/is a fantastic guide to what the Democrat party should be working to become.

Politics is all bullshit, all the time. As a result, a huge percentage of voters are quite disenfranchised and don't really see any candidate as being on their side. Sanders turned that on its head. And old, rather-eccentric, Jewish dude got people excited (me too!). Massive gold-plated opportunity, with giant fucking neon signs pointing at it saying "pounce on this NOW", and the DNC took a big shit on it instead because they can't fathom a world without being 99.9% funded by massive corporations in return for congressmen, vetoes, and judges being bought and paid for.

I think that's what the guy is talking about with regards to "taking over the party". The "Justice Democrats" thing is about progressive candidates funded by actual goddamn people instead of laundered corporate money. I'm not real optimistic about their chances of really shaking up the status quo, but by god I sure hope they do.

Is it weird at all that I know this music as the theme song of the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion?

Was that cribbed from an existing song or is this a very odd tribute band...

Why Reganism doesn't work in 25 years.

The joke is American politicians STILL don't get the joke. Couldn't you tell by the neon-red cheeks he was just playing the clown?

I'm late to the party, but that was quite fun to watch. Reminds me in some ways of watching the interviews with Battlebots builders and then the actual matches.

I bet these will pick up some steam here on the sift once more people check it out.


**edit**
Oh, and the neon didn't bother me. I bet the pilots need some high-contrast visual cues to help them navigate; might not need to be neon, but something. If enough people object to the neon in particular, I'm sure they will experiment with alternatives.

That's a hard sell. It's my guess that the neon is the only way the pilots can keep track of where they are, and where they're going. It even got annoying to me a bit (but also looked like a video game, so wasn't TOO bad) but I can see why they did it. I'm not sure if it would work without the high intensity visual cues.
I was glad they didn't light up everything. They could have put LEDs on every hand rail and post to highlight them, but they didn't.
I'm sure they'll figure out a balance eventually. Don't give up on them yet, it's the first race after all.
