I like the fur - is it shell rendering?

haha @ Forza crowd.

Also, the looping train gif is amazing.

How do you sell a deaf man a chicken?
Leans in close, takes a deep breath and screams at the top of his lungs:WANNA BUY A CHICKEN?!?!?

hehe, I like this.

We use to do a similar one, which you need to be drinking a drink to tell;

Question, to friend/victim: What noise does a dog make? (take a nonchalant sip of drink)
Friend: ..... woof..?
Q: What noise does a cat make? (sip)
F: .. meow?
Q: What noise does a cow make? (sip)
F: Moo!
Q: What noise does a whale make? (sip)
F: ..........?

At which point you blow your mouthful of drink in their face as noisily and messily as you can.

MEGABUMP.


So I got back into Warhammer 40K this week. The first model is almost finished. Yes I am the slowest painter in the world.

"Have you been drinking tonight, sir?"

"No, and I can prove it."

Quote from Gutholz :

Remember why the Oculus Rift looks like well, crap design wise?
Because they only cared about the technology and weight - not about fancy design. It looks nothing like VR headsets were usually imagined:

Compare above image with the bulky thing that is the Rift.

1. That's not a VR headset, Jordi LaForge is blind and that stimulates his optic nerves directly.

2. The Rift won't get any smaller without losing the FOV, one of its greatest strengths. You have to fit the screen somewhere in there.

Yes, and what if your pet snake starts to cry and you have to wipe the tears from it's little eye?

Oh how I loathe the internets ability to overreact to literally everything.

From the OR Forums:

Quote :

Imagine playing an awesome game, and then this awesome ad pops up for the new candy bar. You just gotta play a short game, by shooting the candy bars by look at them as they appear and shooting with the mouse. Then when you have hit 5 candy bars you win, and it links you to their website (which you can view in full 3d - the detail on that candy bar and text!).

You then simply have to give your mobile phone number and email address for a chance to win a $30,000 car. and then once you have signed up it exits and let's you continue before prompting you 6 minutes later with another advert based upon all of the previous adverts you have responded to. This one is an interactive coca cola advert.

Imagine the possibilities!

From what I gather from reading the Oculus forums, the intention is for FB to have a central VR Portal with an app store, support, etc and plaster that with ads, being how they recoup their investment.

There is no intention to make this the exclusive content site (so you could still make a mod for a game, or run a game with native support without ever needing to visit the portal) and having it insert popup ads in existing games is just beyond retarded.

But yes, I agree it has completely killed the part of me that was excited to see it succeed because it was from an indie developer.

I would be waaaay less picky about my first car. As long as it'll last long enough that each MOT doesn't end up being twice what the you paid for the car, just get anything at all.

Specifying a specific model whilst on a budget, especially one that's pretty rare nowadays is just going to mean you're paying over the odds and trekking round the country to buy something that'll likely fall apart within 2 years.

My first car, a 1.8l Focus estate cost me £1400 to insure for the first year, with no no-claims-bonus. The car cost me £1100 to buy.

I was a 32 year-old married man with a baby, driving a sensible family car, I was no boy-racer. Car insurance is ridiculous.

At least Dustin seemed to eventually find the one that explained capital letters and punctuation.

Absolutely no backup plan

I used to have no backup. Then my water-loop dripped onto my HD, effectively destroying everything I'd done in the past four years, including all my photos of my son.

Luckily, it turned out that only the circuit-board was damaged and I was able to buy a near-identical drive and just swap them over, but I learned my lesson.


I dug out an old 500GB drive and now use that plus Cobian Backup to sync My Documents, My Music, plus a few other odds and ends to it a couple of times a week.

It looks like they've COMPLETELY recaptured all the charm Carma 1 had. I for one am very happy.

Those are a 737 and an A380, respectively. It was a 777
