I really dislike the video, and I am a Christian. I completely agree about the bait and switch aspect of it too.

Heh, good to see a vid from WA.

Wasn't impressed by the Australian one. Like most fake Aussie accents things started sounding like something from South Africa.

I'm still going to play. But only after I finish the Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii. And I'm only on Prime (the 1st one). Which is awesome, as the review says.


Exactly the same situation here.

Started playing Minecraft today, and am already somewhat obsessed over my own house

Of course that just makes this video even funnier.

Yes, perhaps that's best. Playing silly Q&A games really is a waste of everyone's time.

Let's keep it even more simple. How about we dispense with the typical anti-Christian bait questions and we both get on with our lives? I like that idea a lot more than trying to debate with a confused person.

Lets keep it simple. A small exercise to help us better understand your stance, and to possibly help you to better understand yours.
-Are you certain that a talking snake lured Eve into eating an apple some 6000 years ago... an apple that somehow started a chain reaction that ultimately led to humanity as it is today?
-Do you truly adhere to the notion that an old man named Noah built an ark, and somehow collected two of every species from all parts of the world, saved them, then somehow returned them to their respective locations to restart their individual species anew... a few thousand years ago?
If you don't adhere to these notions which are quite clearly explained in the Bible, which is touted as the truth and the 'word of god'... then can you be confident that the rest of it is The Truth(tm)?

Hey, don't apologise. I'm sure the anti-religious majority around here love what you're saying, even if they don't understand a word of it.

Remember when I said if your understanding is out of whack, it makes your everything else you say on that topic sound utterly confusing? Whether you do or not, thanks for proving my point.

>> ^honkeytonk73:

I'm not the one making the claim a magical invisible sky god with a zombie...

Before trying to figure that side of things out, work on your basic theology some more (ie: learn about the bible properly). When you have it so completely out of whack, it makes your thoughts on that topic sound utterly confusing.

Ah wait, I just read the bit where you don't believe in any of it anyway. In that case, welcome to the "I have no idea about anything but I'll just dribble on with a bunch of pointless thoughts anyway" club.

>> ^honkeytonk73:

So.. if Jesus was the product of God impregnating a virgin to give birth to himself so that he could kill himself to make a point having something to do with sin.. that really didn't need to be done in the first place. When one hangs an image of tortured Jesus in a Church. Then one would certainly be depicting a graven image. Commandment #2 is now being broken in most every Christian church across the globe and around the necks of many Christians as well.

Only in my home town

Some, very likely yes. The more complex stuff (particle meshing, etc) will be pre-computed.

I didn't expect to see this video here. Quite a few XSI/Softimage users are eagerly awaiting this. I know I am.

>> ^gwiz665:

Looks sweet. Is it real-time?

I must be like the Lincholn Lodge people, because after two videos, I'm still waiting to hear something that's funny.

This isn't revolutionary, but it is impressive.
A common problem in physics engines, especially involving large numbers of interactions, is unintended behavior. Most objects may behave correctly, but you may have a few that act strangely or accelerate inappropriately when impacting multiple other objects.
This isn't impressive for its complexity, it's impressive for its consistency.

Back in 1990 basic interpenetration issues would have made this example seem impressive. Today, just about any 3D suite can pull this off, without needing to adjust any of the default settings.

This is incredible, how exactly?
