10 Things Canadians Don't Know About Americans
Bruti79 says...Case in point. =(
https://youtu.be/fMyY3Gd3uvo
I have to agree 100%. I'm getting very tired of the invalid stereotypical portrayal of a Canadian as a person wearing a red plaid shirt, a toque, and saying "Eh" about 20 times more frequently than anybody I've ever known. And his 10 things are either differences everyone is aware of or they're invalid. I've never used or heard the term soaker as he describes it, plenty of Canadians burn their marshmallows, and we've all eaten smores. Ironically, his comment about Americans who've never been anywhere is also applicable to him, at least when it comes to travelling within Canada. He comes across as a typical person who has grown up in Ontario and believes that the rest of us are just like him. Oh and yeah, he's just not funny.

Bruti79 says...On principle, I can't upvote anything with Gavin McInnes. I don't find him funny or a good dude. =(
Dragons - Overwatch Animated Short
Bruti79 says...I both agree and disagree with this statement. Yes, their cinematics are probably the best in the business. I think they rely on a "cartoony" style in their games to keep them from looking too dated. They don't go hyper realism in the games because when graphics improve, the look can easily lose effect.
Imo, you don't get that with cartoony looking graphics, like Overwatch or the WoW character design. There hasn't been much of a visual overhaul over the 10+ years of WoW.
My guess is they did Overwatch's style like that to separate them for WoW. I think it has a lot of potential to work well for them. I can see if they made hyper realistic cinematics for Overwatch, that they would be compared to the WoW cinematics. This way, it's a clean break.
Personally, I like the Pixar look to it. It's all in the eye of the beholder. =)
This is showcasing the New Generic. Blizzard used to push the boundaries for hyper-realism in CG, but everything from designs to animations in this is wrapped tightly in a security-blanket of technical and conceptual cliche.
Sign of the times, but I'm still filing a formal complaint...
Man Goes The Distance For Hummingbird His Dog Helped Rescue
Bruti79 says...It's a known fact humming birds are the racists of the bird world. =)
It makes you wonder what that hummingbird did to make the whole world murderously mad at it, doesn't it?
It's Beautiful Noise of Capybaras
Bruti79 says...It sounds a little like a Dilophosaurus. =)
What the Vampire Squid Really Eats
Bruti79 says...I wonder what the effect of plastic particles will be on them. I was thinking they may be screwed by the sheer amount, but maybe the low metabolic rates may do something about that?
It's a neat creature, and one that can survive in the growing oxygen free zones in the ocean.
Maybe life has found a way with this thing. =)
How do vending machines figure out if coins are fake or not?
Bruti79 says...It's almost that right now. =(
And Canadian coins enjoyed a period of being, uh, "surrogates" for some US coinage successfully.
Inadvertently, of course---but in those days, a 25% discount if I remember correctly.
Psycho-Bully Toronto Cop Goes "Off The Chart Ballistic".
Bruti79 says...Unfortunately, unless it has changed, in Ontario if the police pull over your vehicle and ask for your id, you have to give it to them. I believe that's the law, but it may have changed.

Bruti79 says...They must go through a lot of tables. I bet Staples loves these guys for their business account. =)

Bruti79 says...He's going to be turned into the new filling for Cadbury eggs next year. It's sad to see him go ride the candy lightning. =)
Damn, now they are going to kill him.

Hardcore Henry - Official Trailer
Bruti79 says...I saw it at TiFF as well last year. it was damn exciting and fun to watch. It's definitely not for everyone, but it will have a strong cult following. Some cool cgi mixed with some old school camera tricks.
I would watch this again in a heartbeat. =)
For what it is, the story is damn good.
