I would have said not porn until 2:58, but that's pretty graphic. It's certainly skating the lines.

Whoa...I hate to pull the *snuff card but somebody's gonna do it if it's not me...

This was pretty graphic and unexpected considering sift guidelines. I'm not necessarily a pansy when it comes to things of graphic nature, but considering I'm on the "disney" of internet video aggregators I was caught way off guard by this...

*discuss (sorry vairetube)

Kind of disappointed he didn't taste the burger...

... that said, not the first time I've seen the product. A while back on some food blog I saw someone actually cook and eat one. The pics were pretty graphic and yes, the burger is frighteningly horrid according to what I read/saw.

Best to really separate this film from its source material. You'd feel much better.

I read V for Vendetta, 300 and this. None of the movies could capture the atmosphere created in the novels.

This won't either. It will just be full of ridiculous action scenes and pretty graphics. Because honestly there is no way he could compress the novel into the full movie.

For all the waiting and hype, I just know Duke's gonna come out as another on-rails first person shooter with pretty graphics. It's happened before, it'll happen again. Single player FPS is a dead genre.

Why 10 dimensions, why those shapes for the dimensions, why vibrating energy, and why any of it in the first place?


Really enjoyed this, but I have been reading a bit - and from what I understand superstring theory is losing favour as an answer to those questions.

What's replacing it is the "anthropic principle" which says that if those important numbers were different, then intelligent life would not exist to ask the questions about them.

physicists who follow the anthropic principle believe that there may be a multitude of parallel universes with lots of different rules and different numbers - we are here because we live in the one that has the right numbers for life.

I'm not a physicist- and I may be talking out of arse, but I find this a lot more interesting than SuperString theory - which looks like it's trying too hard to sell something shaky with pretty graphics. superstring theory calls for 10 dimensions - a small psychological rounding that makes it equal to the number of fingers we have. Not a coincidence in my mind.

I signed a pact with the devil to attain a PC that could run Crysis, I didnt have the numerous hardware problems alot of its users report.

However while it is pretty its still solidily no more then a mod for Far Cry, plus the pretty graphics are nothing but filler for a game that starts out great with the nano wankyiness, it is nice in the open scapes (though not as free roaming as FC) when dealing the DRPK troops but quickly cascades into being shit when it goes all "Xen" on you after encountering the aliens, battles with which consist mainly of shooting at them till they drop unravelling the nice strategic combat with the troops at the start of the game.

The end was particularly underwhelming, I mean Crytek revealed the boss battle at the end of the game a full 2 years before release. Not to mention it was basically Contra by then.

I've read about this case- it's very sad. The guy had limited English and he was trapped in immigration- while his mother was waiting for him on the other side.

I can't decide on this one- on the one hand- I think this kind of stuff needs to be exposed. On the other- this shows a human death in a pretty graphic manner.

The reason it's so effective when running on the GPU is that the GPU is optimized for the types of calculations that a physics engine requires. (Except instead of static geometry and transformations, it's just doing dynamic positioning and collision detection, which is an extension of what a GPU was made for.)

Also, since the physics calculations are a lot simpler than the graphics calculations (it's easy to calculate a ball bouncing on the ground, but harder to calculate what a surface with normal maps, specularity, and a complex mesh would look like) this wouldn't necessarily require a very powerful card to deal with the calculations. An old Voodoo 5 would probably have no problem doing these calculations. Where it gets difficult is when you get a lot of objects, which would definitely require a more powerful card, especially if you want it to draw your pretty graphics as well.

An important note: while the new DirectX 10 (or should I say Direct3D 10) cards definitely have the power to do the more complex physics calculations, it doesn't have anything to do with DirectX. (A lot of people I've spoken to recently seem to be under the impression that DirectX 10 = "OMG L33T PHYSICS!")

Didn't know that dotdude, thanks.
Is this it it? (carriage sequence starts around 5:53):

Pretty graphic for its time.
