My first boat in the Navy was a cruiser. A bunch of us showed up around the same time just before going underway for 5 months. We hit some rough waters in the North Cali/Southern Oregon region that tossed around good. Everything is bolted down, but strings had to be tied to the table to keep the salt, pepper, napkins, etc on the table.

It was interesting. When walking down a p-way (hallway), you would be walking normally with the exception that you were walking on the floor, then the right wall, floor, left wall, 'rinse and repeat'.

Just the normal vertical change could be quite drastic. We were taught to walk through doors and not jump despite the urge (most doors were water tight hatches that had a good foot lip on the bottom.) One of the new people jumped through one... the ship when down... and he knocked himself with the forehead/steel contact. But it was fun too. If you jumped at the right time and aimed a little, you could shoot up a floor (through hatch) as the boat went down and you hung in the air. Had to be a little careful having wide shoulders, but still fun.

I play WoW casually most of the time. Every once in awhile when I have time I get all hard core and raid. I've never had to quit just outright...sometimes I don't log on for months. I come back though when I feel like it because it's still fun for me. I understand some people in controls their lives but I don't know how it did that to this guy.

I mean LOOK a this NOOB! His characters Suck! I'd delete them if I was that sad!

Wow, this is great news. No more being restricted by school policy on what you can install and so on. I remember when I was in high school we used to play Quacke 1 Deathmatch on one floppy so you didn't even have to install itjust run it from A:, no sound and 320x240 resolution but still... Fun times...
This is a paradigm change waiting to happen... oh wait, it just did...

It's making my dupe senses tingle, but still fun to see again.

I heard the US military tried this, too, in an attempt to make a 'super soldier.'

I guess it did, because they didn't feel like fighting any more.

Depends on how you look at it, I suppose.

time to load up MAME and kick vega/bison's ass with chun li. still fun ~20 years later.

Well regardless, it's still fun to watch.

I used to play on Balnazzar-EU, but I quit before this summer. I've restarted with UP in Lightninghoof-US (I had to buy the damn game again!) and it's still fun. After I had a quick foray into Warhammer Online, I see that WoW has begun to take the good things from WAR and implemented them in WoW. With Cataclysm, guilds will begin to level as well, which seems very interesting.


They steal from Lord of the Rings Online a ton too, the guild leveling for instance. Also little things, LotR's had the same exact haircut system WoW now uses about 10 months before WoW implemented it. There's a bunch more.

I played LotR's solid for almost a year, it's surprisingly good if you don't mind a lack of pvp. The crafting system is actually fun, and many of the early level quests have mini-instances that tell tightly scripted events that tie in to the big story arc your character goes through. Very immersive at times.

I have an unusually high tolerance for capsaicin. In high school, a friend and I bought a big bag of habañeros and brought them to school. He'd tell people they were "Candy Peppers" and, because we had been jerks before, they wouldn't believe him. I'd offer to eat one to "prove" they were fine, and even let them pick one out for me. Chew, swallow, smile. Then they would try one, and it was hilarious.

We probably would have gotten our asses beat if they could see through the tears to swing at us. The best part was, after they recovered, they'd make us go with them to do the trick on their friend.

The prank got harder and harder to pull off as the group around us grew, but it was still fun.

At the end of the day, the only one left was a pure white one even I was afraid of, thinking it would be atomic powered or something. Ended up eating it anyway--it was as mild as a banana pepper.

And no, I did not suffer any karmic gastric distress.

1. OK, Toys was bad
2. RV - Bad movie - but still fun as a family movie
3. Jack - Fun to watch as a family movie - not that bad
4. Club Paradise - never heard of it - Why whould he be looking at Eugene like that?
5. Licence to Wed - I liked it, made us laugh!

I don't care how fake it is, it's still fun to watch!

commentators like this really piss me off. Everybody knows that these movies are dumb, if you are thinking realistically about the events depicted. They are still fun to watch. This guy sounds like a film snob.

I hardly ever agree with Yahtzee. I mean, his complaints are valid in many cases, but most of them are never enough to keep me from enjoying a game. There are a lot of good games with broken or sloppy gameplay/mechanics yet are still fun to play.

Computerized computer tracking. Isn't this the same as what ILM developed for the Star Wars Movies?

The camera tracks a course and then records it so it can retrace the exact same placing as it repeats and repeats again as you film in each layer. Now of course I don't see any tracks on the floor to guide the camera, so it would have to be on wheels. There is only one camera angle at a time so conceivably there is only one camera.

Shoot once..., Retract camera, start again, shoot number two, retract, shoot scene three..., and so on...

EDIT: No, I just watched it closer... It is using a combination of the same technology as used in the Matrix plus the layering.
Still fun though...

I tried posting this the other day and failed...

But anyway, I agree with the theory that this is the PR stunt that keeps on giving and they never were working on the game. The Duke theme was just used during their testing of new engines and effects for stuff they were working on. So they got media to release showing duke under development and got to do their testing for real games.

I hope to be proved wrong on this but in any event Duke3d is still fun if you get the 3d updates that mod the whole thing into something approaching modernity.
