Made and ate chilled soba for dinner, washing it down with a Kirin.
Good times.

You lucky bastard.
Having said that, it's gotten a little better now that we're actually working on shit that's somewhat relevant to my job role. But the start of the course (coupled with the fact that I completely forgot my ADHD meds, meaning information retention basically = 0%) was some gruelling stuff.
What's happenin', hotstuff?

Developers get paid cash money by consumers. Consumer Defense Force assembleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
He should have just said, "They have been stood down today. Simple as that. Lets now talk about the issue at hand that led to me being in the district of Wannon the day before she made the comment etc etc Farmer Power bullshit blah blah blah".
Katter had a comment on The Project along the lines of, "I don't care what happens with Gaynor one way or another" and everyone tore the fuck out of him lol

Yarp, if I'm up that way soon I'll sling it to you, otherwise I'll dump it in the mail. The bro-in-law still needs to borrow it off me soonish.
Remember when Molly Ringwald was the right stuff? Me neither but I did like that movie when I was a young teen, wonder how it holds up.
I do (but only barely, I was only a youngin' at the time) but the movie itself is still pretty funny. Not sure if it's because of nostalgia or not, though :/
Right on! I'm obviously in no hurry, so do whatever needs to be done, my friend
What is that?So I just saw the Nintendo Direct thingy.
Haven't seen a 'holy shit I can see my house from here' moment like that since Crackdown. Immense sense of scale.
If you look closely you can see a prompt to enter the mech in the centre of the frame, so I can only assume in-game. Most of the trailer looks Xenobladish in terms of menu, scale and animation sooooo....
Shaneus - it's X, a Wii U game by the Xenoblade developers.
Another shot, this time of armour plated dinosaurs.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. Cast-iron will breaking.

My main worry is Vertical Slice. I am fairly certain the game will rock balls once it is out but I lived through Killzone e3 2005, so Imma hold my bodily fluids until something more comes out in the coming months/years.
The main concern in a game that big (assuming Xenoblade scale) is number of interesting things to do. At this stage, we only have developer pedigree to go on. Guerilla had none back in 2005/06 so faith in KZ2 was unjustified. Conversely, KZ4 would be a safe bet to look visually stunning now they have proven themselves to be technical whizzes.
I think its fair to be confident in Monolith to deliver something impressive in scale, and the combat looks like Xenoblade which was great.
So this weirded me out a bit:

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
KZ2 had nothing going for it except it looked pretty and was nice ammunition in the then next-gen pissing contest. X has the backing of a dev team that produced one of the best games on the Wii. I don't so much care for how X looks as how it plays, which I'm sure will be great.

Oh. That looks less interesting now. I was hoping for some good 3rd person mech action, not a score fest.

Does the same optical illusion also explain why your head looks freaky to me?

I think this is a bit of related background reading as to why it fucks with your perception.
Specifically:
There's a tiny exhibition in the tunnel at MONA in hobart leading away from the poo factory that demonstrates this. You only notice it because you see words on the wall at the end of the tunnel in red lights, but if you look directly at it there is nothing there.
Those are hit points for damage, not score.
Yeah, all the same to me in my jaded cynical phase of life. I just can't get into games with realistic looking graphics that have numbers and shit popping up all over the place, it just gives me a headache.
I'm sure the game will be great, it just won't be for me.

Shit, should have replied to your whole post. I've seen that illusion before, but never read about this, cool shit, thanks.

Lol that's awesome and made me laugh. Love shit like that.
I guess the issue is the lack of a visual feedback method for showing damage in RPGs. A game like Final Fantasy 7 kind of handled this by having some enemy robots or whatever lose limbs, but that was really a way of 'changing forms' during an elongated battle.
Maybe what you're after (in the context of this sort of game) is say, a hypothetical Monster Hunter with gashes and blood and limb loss when you cut them over and over.
I'm still holding out for a matte edition, price drop, battery upgrade and more stable OS. By which time comparisons with Orbis will be available.

Dat purple/red
I might be wrong, my wife knows more about this stuff but I think it's related. Don't take it as truth though.
It's the most interesting game on the system to date.
Yeah. Hell, I don't mind little static life bars like Oblivion, just rapidly changing hud elements like those make my old man brain hurt.
No, it makes sense that it would be related to short circuiting of the recognition scan we do.

Check PM Rep.
Last night someone dumped 20 garbage bags full of green waste on the empty lot next to my house. Cheeky buggers had the nerve to stack them up right next to my wall (don't have a fence yet) and lined them up like sandbags so wouldn't look like a dumping job.
They must have done it late last night because I was out till 1am. I didn't even see them until I got back home today. Called the council, they said they can't do anything unless it's on the nature strip. So now there are 20 garbage bags full of moist mulch on the adjoining block. Yay for spiders!!!

Move it to the nature strip.

lol yep. Fuck the council if they aren't going to give a shit. Is there grass growing on the vacant block? Once it gets to a certain length you can complain to the council and they have to force the owner to get it cut due to fire hazard/snake hazard.
Also awesome!
My first thought too lol.
Oh god, Ive become addicted to watching Seinfeld repeats on Go.
In the episode just finished, Kramer and Newman bought some black market showerheads and opted for the one used in circuses in Yugoslavia for hosing down elephants. "You dont want that one" the seller says.
Final scene shows him getting blasted out of the tub.
It really is the *perfect* show.

That's what I told the council guy. I said I'll move them on to the nature strip so you can remove them. He told me if I did that, they would charge me for the removal :/
Council doesn't care what happens on private land.
I did move them into the center of the empty plot and piled them up; looks like a massive poop taken by a dinosaur.

Move them onto the roads and let Vic Roads deal with it.

Also, water bill. $20 usage (plus sewage) and $100 connection charges.
You should check it out on 7Mate, they have them in HD, sourced from the original film stock, just like Friends on GEM.

Is it 4:3 cropped to 16:9 or were the originals filmed in 16:9 and cropped to 4:3 for oldtimey sets?
Friends and Seinfeld were both shot on 35mm.
When they went back to the original prints, they widened out the scan, but I think they may have chopped a tiny bit off the top.
It looks fucking phenomenal though.

Wait what? Seinfeld was shot on film? All of it? Bloody hell...
Chucked a bit of a hissy fit at XCOM tonight, nearly uninstalled it for pulling a load of bullshit on me, so maybe I'll get some shooty bang bang for the long weekend.
Looks like it works multiple times, since I used it on XCOM and now it shows up as a discount for Max Payne 3.

I just had a look through a bunch of other scenes and it looks like a lot of the time the only lost data is on the bottom. If there's something at the bottom they'll cut it from the top instead.
They were going to do that with Star Trek as well, but unfortunately almost every single shot from the original film has rigging and lighting in the far left and right. They didn't want to crop the top and bottom, so it stays at 4:3
So much money was being thrown around with those shows, so they used film.
