RE: Virtual reality

I always thought VR might be fun to experience, as long as you didn't mind looking like a twonk.

RE: The Next Starfighter?

I don't have a problem with the story of TRON Legacy, I actually haven't seen the film in its entirety. It's the effects shots. The original TRON has an 8-bit charm to it, the early CGI coupled with the hand drawn animation truly looks like the vision of the inside of a computer. The visuals in Legacy on the other hand look more like another world than an inner space. You got stuff like mtion blur and reflectiions and all this visual tech that we take for granted in modern day graphics that it started looking more 'real'

That's the thing with The Last Starfighter. It too might have had cutting edge visuals for the mid-eighties, but it's stuff that a twenty year old PC graphics card could do, let alone a modern RTX beast. It looks very much of its time. The tempation will be to give the sequel a modern CGI polish, and get that wrong, and you might as well have a Star Wars dogfight scene.

I hope it doesn't turn into TRON Legacy.

RE: [VIDEO] Coronavirus, anyone starting to get worried?

And now Wales is closing its borders to Covid hotspots.

The Welsh Assembly tried to get the UK government on board, but they're having to do it unilaterally. So much for the Union!

And the UK has a come from behind victory!

Talk about a sprint finish. One massive spurt in the last seven days to overtake France and Spain to have the most cases per 100,000 in Europe. When it comes to governmental incompetence, we've still got it. And they thought Spring was a one time deal.

RE: Lefty Do good lawyers

I’d rather the courts reflect the law and justice than the fickle whims of society. That ways lies miscarriage of justice.

RE: [VIDEO] Coronavirus, anyone starting to get worried?

Over 6000 new cases today, over 200 patients on ventilation in hospital (a few weeks ago it was under a hundred). and to go with grouse shooting, a goverment clarification issued today...

Quote:
Chauffeur-driven cars will be exempt from the laws enforcing passengers to wear masks in taxis. The spokesman said the two were "not comparable", stressing that a private driver typically chauffeurs a single individual but the driver of licensed vehicle carries - and risks infection from - a range of customers and should be afforded protection.
From here...

RE: Trolls

Think of the left as the Rojos, the right as the Baxters, and Russia as the man with no name. Watch A Fistful of Dollars and you’ll get what Snaps is saying...

RE: [VIDEO] The Trump Presidency

Trump should debate himself. He’s contradicted himself and just plain out lied so often on public record that they should just play a tape of him saying the exact opposite whenever he says something. Like this week he was claiming he ‘up-played’ the Coronavirus at the start, where in February he was saying it’ll be gone before we know it.

That is the issue of course. The whole do what we say, not what we do is a non-starter. Everyone's all compliant and understanding about the Covid lockdown for months, then Cummings takes a trip to Barnard castle, and the country's like "screw you".

Now it's Rule of Six, while "breaking the law in a specific and limited way". The country is so going to be "screw you and the camel you rode in on" that it will hurt.

RE: [VIDEO] Brexit

So, has anyone broken the law today in a "specific and limited way"?

Today I parked on a pavement in London for 10 minutes, while I popped into a shop.

And a Norwegian Nazi just nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize.

(note. probably not a Nazi, just far right, I just couldn' resist the alliteration.)

Ornithopters!

Directed by the same guy behind Arrival and Blade Runner 2049. Might be worth a look, although I have a soft spot for Lynch's folly.

RE: Earthquake

We had a 3.3 yesterday in the UK

Might have been the same one tunnelling under the Atlantic. Didn't get as far as London though, and I doubt it would have made it through all that London clay anyway.

I've been in two (minor) Earthquakes. One I slept through, and woke up to see some small objects had fallen over in the night. The second time, I had just got off a plane, was climbing up some stairs, felt a wobble and thought it was jet lag.

Have to admit that if a Banksy appeared on my wall, my instinct would be to complain before whitewashing it over.

RE: [VIDEO] Living on Youtube

If you’re more diligent than I, you’ll have peeled through that Heroes box set on iPlayer by now. I staggered under the crappiness of Season 4 and have taken a break.

Not to worry as there’s something even better to watch now. I missed the first two episodes of nuBattlestar Galactica on BBC2 on Saturday night just passed.

But not to worry, the whole thing is on iPlayer too.

RE: [VIDEO] Brexit

Bloody hell! Brexit was a thing once, wasn’t it? Oh, it still is, and the Tories continue to f*** it up in spectacular and imaginative ways.

Screw the end of the year, now we walk away in October if there isn’t a deal. Turns out that the oven ready deal Boris was promising isn’t and never was. Big surprise.

And the new news... Screw the withdrawal agreement as well, and screw the Northern Ireland peace agreement in the process. But on the bright side Covid cases are up by 3000 yesterday, so by the time this rolls around, we’ll all be too sick and dead to care.
