Because once he had finished composing it, in under 10 minutes, the actual performance took 2m30 minutes, then there was some applause and wrapping up.

I recently watched the first under 15 minute run of fallout 3, a game with potentially hundreds of hours of content.
Speedrunning is a great example of just how diverse the gaming community is.

Amazing that at 34 seconds, that's her longest fight in a while. The last 2 went 14 and 16 seconds. It must be making it hard to market her pay per view fights when they never last. I remember people being really pissed at a Tyson fight that was well under a minute because they paid $60+ to see it.

Yeah, that wasn't really directed at you, but more at the whole "give us an objective review" cry that's been going around.

For the record, my two favourite gaming sites are bluesnews (that's how I found the sift in the first place) and rockpapershotgun, for different reasons obviously.

The reason I like blues and the issue I have with news in video format is time. I can read a days page of news on blues in well under a minute, spawning tabs of interest as I go.

Your video is 6:25 long.
First up is the BAFTA awards: it's a fairly dry list with no commentary on it. If I want that information, a link to http://awards.bafta.org/award/2015/games is a much more succinct way of presenting it.

Then some news about Hawken: cool! Hawken is awesome and I've been hoping to hear more about it.

Elder Scrolls: don't care.
Nintendo licensing agreement: don't care
Nintendo's next console: don't care

Steam refund policy change: Interesting.
Kojima to leave Konami: interesting.

The point is not what I care about or don't care about, that's going to be different for everyone. The point is I have to fast forward to the news I'm interested in and as presented, it's an inherently bad format for that.

Maybe instead of one long video have a series of shorter videos linked via annotations? Or even timecodes in the description. That way, we can jump to the stories we're interested in.

HTH

Yeah there are slap bands out there, but they don't work like this is presented to work. The arms would have to bend in multiple dimensions, and then straighten out and be able to provide a stable flying platform. The closest thing I think of for doing something like that is the "bendy" character toys where the metal wire is co-molded inside the body. That is a very heavy solution.
I misspoke on the 2" square, it is 2" x 2", so 4" square. I'm not sure that I agree that theirs is 6" x 3", but even if it is that would mean that the prop size would have to be about 1.25" and that doesn't work for a 6" x 3" vehicle. There isn't enough thrust and the motors at that size don't provide enough RPM's for that kind of weight.
On the electronic side, they show it connecting to a smart phone with video feedback. That means you have to have bluetooth at least, or a 5.4ghz video system if you want more than 30' range. or it has to have a Wifi TX on it. All of those thing require power. Sure it could analyze the video signal to determine subject matter, and provide guidance but you have some very serious issues there. If you do it on board it requires some processor power (More drain), if you do it on the smart phone app it will create lag.
Your phone has over 1,000 mAh in it (1440 in Iphone 5), that is a TON (4-10x) more than what this thing would have. Battery technology may be a big research project right now, but there isn't anything on the horizon that will get them to where they need to be. Most of the tech research is in sub 1C rated batteries for things like full size cars. Something like this needs a 10C rating minimum if not a 20C rating. Unfortunately most of the upcoming technology can not handle drains that fast. Things tend to go "Boom!". When you do something small, and even 6" x 3" is small, you have very serious power vs weight issues. It all comes down to issues of power density, and nothing exists today that will give it to them as they would need..

So right now these guys need to figure out:
1) A new light weight material that can lock rigid but also bend as needed in multiple directions.
2) A new battery technology that allows them to get the power they need, for a 6 axis gyro, 4 motors, control board,a RX, a HD camera and some sort of VTX while reducing weight. How long it powers all of that would be open, but if it is under 10 minutes I think people would be a little disgruntled. Right now people are wanting the video quads to get about 30-45 minutes of flight time on the 5200+mAh batteries.
3) Write code that allows them to analyze video in real time so as to provide object tracking and avoidance without lag while capable of running on a smartphone. It would also need to return to home when the battery runs low. That would be a little tricky on a cliff face, or if you are riding a bike through a forest. Another issue is that they tilt the camera down, they don't say if this is actuated, or done by hand, but it could lead to serious issues with programming object avoidance if you can't see anything above you.
4) Since they show the image as HD on the phone screen, they would also need to come up with a new way to broadcast HD video wirelessly. Right now that system costs $40K and is rather large.

All in all it is a dream product that people are going to get suckered into funding it. Some tech may come out of it that could be monetized, but I don't see the item coming out in this format, at least not in the next 3-5 years. You'd be better off going with AirDog.

Greetings Sir, If you can spare a little under 4 minutes, I'd like a second opinion on this video Les Sultans Du Lycée sung in the style of AC/DC:



Is it worth posting do you think?

If they (or... someone) can keep it up until she's 100+ (well after her death) that would be something to watch. From baby to clean skeleton. Try to keep it under 10 minutes though. I've got things to do.

Apples and oranges.

It's a lot more difficult to kill people with a knife. It's nearly impossible to kill someone from a distance with one unless you've had lots of knife-throwing training--and even then it's pretty iffy.

Plus, knives require the attacker to get close to the victims, meaning the victims have a lot better chance of seeing the attacker coming and running away or even disarming the attacker as he approaches.

So, good luck killing 20 people in under ten minutes (like Sandy Hook) with a knife unless they all happen to be unconscious on the floor.

But that isn't going to work with a hairpin, you need an actual set of rakes to do that reliably. I saw this amazing instructional years ago and was lockpicking as a hobby for a while. With the first pick I made I broke into my house in under two minutes.

It depends on how you define "work". I've done it before; in Finland going from BRUTALLY hot sauna (like 90's C hot) to a lake that was probably just above freezing. You don't want to stay in long, but the cycle puts you into sensory overload mode and it feels really good unless you push the time spent in either extreme too long.

I've also done it in Colorado with less of an extreme temperature gap. Saunas in the US usually run a lower temperature (usually they try to keep them under 120 F or so) but you can make them feel hotter by pouring water on the heater stones to crank up the humidity. I've gone from that to rolling around in snowdrifts, and the effect is again quite nice as long you don't stay in the snow too long (probably under a minute).

Maybe I just have genetics like those crazy Polar Bear Club dudes.

I thought the same thing, but then I saw that it's a 30 minute film.

So long as they keep the pace up, I can see it working. If there are 10 epic events they just have to spend under 3 minutes on each. They already have a dinosaur, a laser arcade game, Thor, Hitler, a viking babe, high tech 80s time travel, and intro douchebags.

Fitting plot in there could be a problem, but that doesn't look like it could stop them.

nah...In America he would have been whisked off to a hospital in under 3 minutes and given some of the best medical care in the world for free, while the cop would be put on leave with pay during a 2 week investigation, and probably get some sort of suspension for drawing and firing a weapon in a crowded space on a perp that was not threatening at that moment. If the perp lives, he sues the city and gets a wad of cash, if the perp dies, then the family would sue the city for wads of cash.
