Lol! Mouse cursor races to upvote at punchline.

This is the shortest game I have ever purchased. You blast one monster in an in-game game, take pisses and draw with turds, then take an elevator down from Duke's penthouse. The game fucks up and all I get is a cursor overtop of the door as it opens... and sits there... playing the elevator music for hours.

What a shit piece. No clue what you guys keep yacking about, I guess I didn't piss in the urinals in the right order.

Do you know about the "unique views" feature?

If you put your cursor over the number of views, up pops "unique views." That is how many have watched it who are registered.

Views counts people many times and includes folks who can't vote.

Fun little factoid!

Yeah, you seem to have accidently clicked the "possible invocations" while your cursor was inside Darkhand's quote of WKB, in the middle of "costing".

Aww, thanks.

Did anyone else spend a large portion of that video watching the mouse cursor in the top left corner... waiting for it to move again?
No? Just me then


It moves at 3:57.

Nah me too. David Mitchell made this clip soo awesome.

Hang on here. Let's be fair. I don't know who invented touchscreens or pinch to zoom or whatever and I don't much care.
But it's Apple who have come along and made mobile devices that are nice to use - very nice. No one else was rushing to take a chance on making an iphone. If it wasn't for them I reckon we would still be stuck with devices like my Nokia 6680, which is admittedly rubbish and with each passing day becomes more annoying to use. I've stuck it out for ages but gradually, very gradually, I can hear the call of an HTC Desire.

Before this I experimented with a Palm Tungsten PDA - overall it wasn't great. You had to use the stylus and learn that grafiti thing. And there was no itunes equivalent, no desire to connect with the customer and installing programs was tedious and would be buggy when you did. It didn't make me productive and it wasn't much fun either.

Isn't the digital landscape that more fertile for everyone now thanks to Apple?

@Farhad2000 - just to be clear there's no way they're forcing you to buy their products. I'm not using any - the limitations just rub me the wrong way.

I would also posit that the same thing has happened, albeit in a smaller way, with the iPhone and iPad. finger optimised UI, Flick to scroll, bounce back scrolling, pinch to zoom and more are innovations out of Apple's skunkworks. These innovations exist on Android and Pre phones - but to assume that this would have happened without Apple is naive.

Nope sorry, Apple did not "invent" all of these things. I know about flicking and pinch to zoom being around before the iPhone, there's even a video of a desk-sized tabled demo employing those tecniques around here, but I can't find it right now.
Good thing Apple did not invent the mouse cursor, or else we all would have to use some weird thingy like a crosshair or sth because you can bet your ass they would've patented it.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I'm sure you could find some technology demo out there that had something similar. And you're right that Apple didn't invent the mouse, or even the windows metaphor - but my point is that we (the people) weren't using mice and windows before Apple came out with the Mac - and likewise we weren't pinching and zooming or flicking to scroll until Apple invented the iPhone.

There's no :hover style in Flash ActionScript.

Mouseover events are still used for web with mouse cursors. I suppose "antiquated" was a bad choice of words. However they will not serve touchscreens for UI feedback. But you're right, I didn't think of drag and drop.

Let me say it this way then: for touchscreens the rollovers generated on mouseover events most likely won't be necessary. A combination of a release event and mouse within event could be useful.
