Way too much Uncanny Valley action going on in this.


I was going to say just the opposite. I want to see this just to find out how deep the Uncanny Valley has gotten.

Don't start something you can't finish...

Big props for technology, this is a much better visualization than old b/w pictures side by side back like we had back in the days.

And satellite aerial views?


I found these sliding before-and-after images from the L.A. Times and the N.Y. Times to be a chillingly effective use of technology to showcase the devastation caused by this disaster.

The *music makes this. Wait, I can't invoke such things yet can I sifty?

"I enjoyed this deeply."

That's what she said.

Hey! I was in this...

Could you guys breath? That's insane. I'd probably die!


Yeah, actually breathing wasn't really an issue, but you could definitely taste the dust and feel little crunchy bits in your mouth if you left it open too long. It's really rough on the eyes as you can imagine, you've gotta do the whole squint-really-tight-so-your-eyelashes-catch-it thing. I wouldn't suggest running a marathon in it, but it's decidedly survivable.

Interesting thought... why do men like myself (and probably a few of you ladies) find this particularly appealing? My theory:

1) The act of jumping up and down causes materials of different densities (bone, muscle, fat) to act and react in different ways. 2) Slowing it down helps the brain process this information, which we translate into an understanding of what the different materials would feel like. 3) Basically, it helps us fantasize about being with her, as we can make a more educated guess about what she would feel like based on what we can see. A good example is the fact that we can all be pretty sure this girl hasn't had any breast augmentation, something you couldn't be sure of with her just standing there.

Even without the obvious sexual pull that is a girl in a bikini bouncing, the human body is pretty amazing to watch in action, in slow-motion. Also bewbs.

Hey! I was in this! Heard a big wind hit, went to look outside and it was like being on Mars. Red dust so thick I couldn't see the house behind us (maybe 50ft/15m) and a hell of a wind (I hear up to 60mph/100kph). Freaked the dog right out. Not the first one of these I've been in but probably the most dramatic.


By the way, the official name of these storms is, "haboob." Yes I just wanted to say boob. Seriously, it should be added to the tags though. Haboob that is, not boob.

Interesting how many of us are compelled to be "good guys" to begin with.


Honestly, despite my clever avatar, I have a really hard time playing the bad guy in video games. So for me, "good guy" from the beginning every time.

Really a video you should go ahead and splurge your bandwidth on and watch in HD.

edit: At least I assume so, since I can't get the HD vid to work >=(

AND THE GAME IS FREE!

Man, and I thought the lame ass griefing, cheating, juvenile shits were bad when you had to pay for it...


Hey! I don't cheat!

As somebody who has pretended to be this character for over 100 hours, I love this. Nails the character perfectly as Valve does so well. Also, as someone who paid full price for the orange box I couldn't be happier that something I paid money for is now free. Thanks for buying hats you crazy rich people!!

The true God would have the number one, I'm sorry, "#1" religion? Seriously? Even if that religion is only two-sevenths of the world's population. Saving two people out of every seven is good enough for God I guess. And then you drag the half of the world you believe are doomed for eternity because they pray to the wrong Magic Sky Person into it and use them to suggest, "Hey they'll all burn in Hell because they picked the wrong God but at least they get the idea, unlike you morons." Of course, Islam and Judaism also believe in the Abrahemic God, so there's a billion and a half people who do believe in your God, but get to go to Hell because they're doing it wrong.

But no, really, your translations of old books and imaginary friend are way better than critical thinking. Three cheers for God!

The Abrahamic God is #1 when worshipped in a (proper) Christian way!

Not that numbers prove anything, but Christianity is the worlds biggest religion. I would think that the true God would have the #1 religion. Don't forget that 4/5's of the world disagrees with your conclusion that there isn't a God in the first place.
