Dune: Part Two | Official Trailer 3

The 7th Guest: Official Trailer

ant says...

According to my http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/toys.html history, I got my first CD-ROM drive (2X speed) in 12/1993. I remember buying game CDs for Rebel Assault, Command & Conquer (Tiberian Dawn), etc. It was awesome.

Did anyone play 11th Guest, the sequel? I played that on Computer City(?)'s computer demo PC. It was OK.

Ah...the 7th Guest. Back in those days almost every PC makers are bundling this game and/or Myst to up-sell their CD-ROM drives.

Zero Punctuation reviews Daikatana

spawnflagger says...

Well, not nearly as hyped as Duke Nukem Forever, but was hyped as "design is god", but turned out to be many horrible design decisions (even if you fixed crappy AI, this game was still bad).

I didn't know there was a 2D top-down zelda-like (released in EU,Japan) of a Gameboy Color Daikatana... gonna look for the ROM.

notarobot said:

Checks wiki... "released in 2000?" I was alive then, but somehow missed this game. Guess I didn't miss much?

Why Being Honest about Ghostbusters is Important

Payback says...

If there's another Adam Sandler movie ever made, that will put to bed the fallacy that there's no market for entirely female-centric movies that aren't rom-coms.

If they have money for Sandler, they have money for ANYthing.

Let's Compare ( Classic Pac-Man )

ant says...

Yea, I will have to get ROMs and Stella emulator to try it. I tried to see if an existing Flash game existed. Nope.

That's a shame. You can check it out now of course. Let me know what you think.

Star Citizen: From Pupil to Planet

VoodooV says...

You *may* have worked with Roberts, but clearly you don't know much about him. Roberts' games have always pushed the limits of PC hardware. It's not unexpected to have to upgrade a PC or build a new one in order to play them adequately.

I bought my first PC just to play Wing Commander. I spent about 300 dollars upgrading my RAM from 4MB to 8 and bought my first CD-ROM drive in order to play Wing Commander 3.

Hopefully, in a few months I'll be upgrading my video card in order to play Squadron 42.

None of this is unexpected.

I don't know a lot about the game, true, but from what I have heard, he's promised a LOT and hasn't delivered on much.

I don't doubt that the tech is real and running, but I'd be surprised if that dev is running average hardware. Back in the late 90's when I was working with him, for shows like E3, he'd get top-of-the-line hardware that cost thousands of dollars to run it at a decent framerate.

"Stupidity of American Voter," critical to passing Obamacare

shinyblurry says...

Hey Newtboy,

God provided four major lines of evidence so that you would know that He exists. The first is Creation itself:

Rom 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.

For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

His existence is so evident from the Creation that He considers that people are without excuse for their unbelief.

A quick science fact for you:

The Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun, and the Sun is 400 times farther away from the Moon. This is the reason they appear to be the same size in the sky. The Moon is also receding from the Earth at a few centimeters at year. This would mean it is only a “coincidence” that we happen to live at a time that the Sun and Moon have an exact correspondence in the sky, making solar eclipses possible. Yet, the scripture says God created the Sun and the Moon for signs and seasons, for days and years. The amount of “coincidences” really adds up to an absurdity when you study the conditions necessary for us to be here. You can find a good study on that here:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Privileged-Planet-John-Rhys-Davies/dp/B0002E34C0

The other lines of evidence are your conscience, the life death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and bible prophecy. I understand, perhaps, where you’re coming from. It very much has to do with what your worldview is. If you start apriori with the idea that there is no supernatural and no divine being, you won’t recognize the evidence right in front of your face. You will instead embrace alternative explanations for the origins of life which appear to be pragmatic but start with a greater amount of faith required than a belief in an all powerful Creator God.

newtboy said:

I'll just re-iterate my point...

Who are you to question God's wanting me to NOT believe in him?
If He's the creator, He created my curious, evidence requiring brain and also He refused to provide ANY evidence (anecdotal evidence is not evidence) of his existence, therefore IF he exists, he clearly wants me to not believe in him.
Stop fighting against god's wishes.

Andy Warhol's Amiga Experiments - Invisible Photograph 2

oritteropo says...

OK, but what sort of Amiga expert doesn't know what the Electronic Arts IFF (Interchange File Format) means? It was one of the most fundamentally Amiga-ish things. It's almost as if they haven't memorised the Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual!

Colonel Sanders Explains Our Dire Overpopulation Problem

shveddy says...

@RedSky - You aren't reading what I'm saying.

I'm talking about finding an equilibrium in which humanity can thrive economically, socially and environmentally.

I'm only saying that things like environmental damage, fracking, certain food production techniques, the current flavor of resource wars, and the fact that a massive proportion of our current population really can't feed itself are all evidence that the effort required to sustain current and future population levels doesn't fit my definition of finding balance.

The only point of no return I'm talking about is that at some point it will be essentially impossible to get to that place of balance that I favor. It's a nebulous concept for sure, but I do think it is relatively imminent and at the very least that we are heading in the wrong direction - especially in light of the notion proposed by this video where exponential growth can give you a false sense of security right up until just before you hit it.

I actually agree with you and think that earth could sustain an arbitrarily large population of say 20 billion or even more.

But we'd have to spend more of our time and efforts competing (sometimes violently) for the resources, we'd have to shape ever larger proportions of the natural world to our own narrow needs, we'd have to put up with a much less pleasant environment, and since it will be challenging enough to just get the resources to feed and clothe your own people, there is a really good chance that unfathomable (billions) quantities of human beings will be marginalized by this system and spend most of their time suffering.

Again, a far cry rom my definition of equilibrium.

As for your notion that vague global threats don't cause change, for starters I'm not sure that's true - there are significant popular environmental movements around the world and also some threshold of self interest can be breached. For example if you look at negotiations over things like the Kyoto protocols you will see that developing nations who are much more susceptible to environmental changes like shifting climates and rising sea levels are significantly more likely to sign on. It's no coincidence that Bangladesh and a few other island nations were the only countries to ratify the thing.

But there are also educational and social strategies that can have a huge effect. I think that you'd get a lot of mileage from just increasing women's rights around the world.

I don't buy his overstretched ticking time bomb analogy or the idea of a point of no return. Countless people have predicted peak oil, global resource wars and the like for decades with none of significance eventuating.

Elegant Compression in Text (The LZ 77 Method)

worthwords says...

compression is fascinating. i used to work for a mobile phone OS company where i modified the language variant compiler to compress files based on a premade dictionary of words which were common over the whole software - it cut down the ROM size by many megabytes (which was a big deal back then). You could cut the amount of traffic on the internet by having a dictonary of common cats stored in the image decoder.

Batman Recut as a Comedy

MichaelL says...

Agree. This was pretty good... I like the 'main character running down a street/alley/airport concourse' scene to convey desperation/confusion/redemption which is a cliche of every Tom Cruise movie and every rom-com ever...

This feels more like an quirky independent coming-of-age cut instead of a comedy.
