Once upon a time, National Geographic was serious, educational, and interesting. Now they find the need to be all "EXTREME" with people like this guy pandering to the audience, because clearly the general public is too stupid and has too short an attention span to actually listen to the stuff.

And yet, somehow we can tolerate David Attenborough's completely dry and boringly British delivery.

[EDIT]Oh, and remember the old theme song? Now THAT was a theme song!

All ships have rotational inertia, provided you turn off flight assist mode. Without flight assist, you can fly with close to full Newtonian movement, with some exceptions that were made to keep combat fun. (For example, there is a speed limit cap, to prevent dogfights from degrading into high speed flybys.) This means that with flight assist off, any movement you make, you must make a counter-movement for to stop. This includes all 6 degrees of movement, from translational to rotational. Often, players will disable flight-assist to get into an advantageous position when maneuvering, then re-enable it so they can aim more easily. There are a few, VERY good players that can fight with flight-assist off completely, and it's a sight to behold:

In any case, E:D is looking very promising, despite getting a lot less attention than Star Citizen, and even No Man's Sky. Of all the upcoming space sims, this is the one I'm looking forward to most.

The Eurofighter Typhoon fills the same role as the F-22, except that the F-22 is a much more advanced and capable jet. (And, in fact, can fulfill the role of the F-35 better than the F-35 can, in many cases. Except carrier landing.) The cost is only marginally less than the F-22 (about $110 million vs $150 million), although if the F-22 had been allowed to ramp up to full production, the price would have gone down further. Basically, the F-22 program shouldn't have been cancelled so quickly.

But . . . but . . . why did you sift this and yet vote down Luigi's Ballad? They're by the same people, with the same humor, music, and animation. You confuse me . . .

I'm eager to see the space sim come back, but I feel the Star Citizen developers are really focusing too much on graphics and "immersion" where gameplay should come first. Compare it to Elite: Dangerous, which started production at the same time but on a smaller budget, and yet at this point in time, has a multiplayer alpha that is amazingly fun to play and shows huge promise for the rest of the game to come.
I want both to succeed, but I'll definitely be spending my money on ED first, and waiting for Star Citizen to flesh itself out later.

Sproink!

Um, no. Just read the Virgin New Adventures, particularly Lungbarrow. Much more interesting.

His brother? But how could he narrate anything? He doesn't talk. Swing a crowbar around, sure. Defeat extra-dimensional aliens, fine. But talking? Blasphemy.

No. This is not how batteries work.

2000.

Why does this have so few views? It's genius! Brilliant! Amazing!
I'll take 1000.

Agreed. I'm Christian, and politically conservative, but I'm certainly not jumping on the denial train. I think what most scientifically-aware conservatives (yes, we exist) are more concerned about is that the facts are uncovered and that a plan of action is established, in a logical, orderly manner. Unfortunately, people tend to jump to conclusions about the causes, and then rush solutions that tend to cause more problems than they solve. And that's really a factor of making money off the issue, whether it be from the media using fear, or the various business industries proposing solutions that are more monetarily beneficial to themselves than solving the problem.

If I recall correctly, according to mixed-ancestry laws in the old South, one had to be at minimum an "octaroon," ie. 1/8th black or less, in order to be identified as white and be given the accorded rights. 1/8th is 12.5%. So this fine gentleman would not be allowed the full rights of a white man, under racial law.

I'd watch it.

Sounds like a 5-pack a day sheep.
