Orph that's gross!

So, there was a thread a little while back that had re-edited trailers to portray a different movie. Since I couldn't find that thread, I'll post this here (nor do I know if it's locked by now or not)

Brokeback to the Future

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

That was great Crono. A bit of a strain for my 56k but good.

The way I understand it, the were going to call the original "Brokeback Mounting" because they were either riding horses, or each other.. But they couldn't for political correctness or some s**t.

/continues giggling about future flick.

Brokeback squadron is pretty funny too.

That was funny, and there's a lot of potential because Top Gun is almost a gay orgy in and of its self. But, that was cut together pretty poorly. I still enjoyed it though.

On another note, I found this tonight. It's a Mario "clone" ... for death-match. The controls are very tight, and almost on par with Mario 3 controls.
It's titled Super Mario War and located here.

Honestly, this thing is pretty nice. It's small, functional, has expansion support, multi-player, and bots. The game supports a skin system, for example there's a skin to make everything into pac man. There's also a level editor, which is very simple to use and has the ability to recreate almost any level from Super Mario Brothers 3. No angled grass though. However, I'm sure there's a way to import new stuff.

Overall the engine works a lot like the RPG maker engine, "empty" space defines where a player can exist, pretty much. (Which would get filled by the background, or special texture items)

Anyway, it's pretty cool for free. It is multi-platform, AND the source code is available, so you could compile it for any system you like. ALSO, there's a compile available for Xbox using xbins, or something like that. So, Reno, this could be a game for you and your ... um "flat" ?

I just found out that google.com is named after a number:
A googol is 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000

Yes, yes, the four fundamental forces and two fields of particles that make up everything. Not too complicated, actually.

I've been taking some courses that are trying to combine physics, cosmology, and complexity all together. While the courses themselves are/were easy, the concepts contained are/were very interesting and difficult. This is something we covered ... a lot.

Something I didn't know before that, but physical matter only makes up ... what? 4% of the universe (Observantly)

I'm sure it won't stop here... Smaller and smaller particles will be found.

I never heared the word "Boson" before. It too sounds like some 10 year old son of the scientist came up with the name :biggrin:

Anyone read the Steam updates? I'm not a big fan of merchandise but this looks quite cute:

I heard that they are too small to wear as a head convincingly.
Still cute.

Hahaha The Clangers they were great the one with the soup dragon was the best. Another fun thing about them was that the BBC nearly canceled the first epesode because in the script one clanger was supposed to tell another one to f**k off I think anyway one was supposed to have sworn at another. But even though they used the whistle thing for there language and no one could understand them they still had to rewrite that part.

As for the headcrab I want one they're so cool.

This was brought to my attention today. I found it very disturbing and.. I advise you to watch it at your own discretion.

56k warning. Its approximately 10 megs so go out for a bite to eat while it completes.

it is disturbing....shes as nutty as any islamic extremist....kinda reinforces a point i made a ways back......makes ya wonder how many fruitcakes there are out there like this.... :/

Doc B... :dodgy:

I know that its a moot contemplation but it makes you wonder what the men of WW1 and WW2 would have done had they known that the freedoms that they are fighting for would end up like the world we have today.

Can you imagine the numbers of men who wouldn't have volunteered?

Its saddens me to think about it sometimes but, then my own problems and concerns re-emerge and I forget about the world. I honestly feel that if I didn't have more important commitments that I would do something really bad to people like this. I guess its a good thing for them that they aren't as important in my life as they think they are in everyone else's lives.

This is something I found at a thrift store ... and purchased.

A pair of Fisher STV-9025 speakers. They're pretty sweet for $20.

(This is the only image I can find of them on the net, for some reason)


Better than what I had hooked up downstairs :smile:

They can also go lower than the sub I have next to me (60Hz). Their lower range is 47Hz. They're beasts, and I don't mind the size.

I just need a better receiver for them now. (One that isn't specified to separate the base channel to another separate speaker) Oh, and that can pump out at least 300W.

While I was there I also picked up the Foundation Trilogy by Asimov and Treasure Island by Stevenson.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Foundation Trilogy is t3h pwn. Those 3 and the first Rendesvous with Rama got me into sci-fi.

There are 7 books in the Foundation trilogy now and 4 books in the Rama trilogy.

Its not a trilogy if there arent 3 books. "Foundation trilogy" refers to the first three.

I know, but there are like 4 decades between 3 and 4. Many people don't even realize that the rest were written because the gap is so substantial.

In fact, Asimov had to re-read the trilogy before he could write book four. The end of book 3 stopped before anything substantial occurred and the rest of the books were essential.

I feel that the series is one of the best ever written. A must read for any hardcore sci-fi enthusiast.

However, the first 3 books are boring when compared to the last written. The author must have learned a thing or two about entertainment in the interim. :biggrin:

---

The best things in life, aren't things.

Well, I was unaware of the other Foundation books. If they're actually written by Isaac Asimov, then I'll have to look into it.

I said only the first Rendesvous with Rama because the other ones are the crap.

French Toast said:

Yes, he wrote them and the last 3 books were leaps and bounds better than the first book in the Rama series. But, they were decidedly different with Gentry Lee helping.

Recently found out that my video card burned out, or otherwise became nonfunctional.

The finding process was assisted by my motherboards ability to talk through my speakers that said "Video test failed" each time I attempted to reboot.

Neat feature. :smile:
