It is odd that no matter how realistic graphics get the one thing that seems to always immediately make something look fake... is when it moves.

I know there are better examples but I looked at Until Dawn and oddly enough any scene where the characters stood perfectly still in the right lighting COULD have been confused for a photo... But even the slightest movement always painted them in fake. I never get why movement is so hard to get right, but there you go.

The location listed for my intercultural comms class..... doesn't exist. The schedules says that you meet in room 241. There's room 244, 243, 242... and the stairwell. No room 241.

This actually improves my opinion of David Cameron. Prior to this I saw him solely as just some joyless asshole wet-blanket politician from England who wanted to censor the internet. This new aspect of his personality is far less negative and partly in conflict wih the other.

I garauntee it was not his idea. He barely qualifies as a politician, and probably did it because someone he thought might have power and influenec told him to. Which is the basic motivating factor in his life.

... run into the wall between 242 and the stairwell? Alternately, wrong building or part of building or somethin'.

This is your first test.

Alternately, your class is actually held at Hogwart's, and you have to run straight at the wall. I heartily encourage testing if this is the case.

Wow. You failed already. Typical empirical mindset, thinking base 10 is the only one used.

Before our number system was invented, base 60 was used by some of the most progressive scholars ever, and it's wrong to forget that.

Just this once, I'lll help you and your hopelessly closed-door mindset, and tell you that your room is actually labelled 1441.

I see you've actually had an intercultural comms class before.

Look, I had to make a joke out of it somehow, otherwise I'd finish writing my essay. Also, I do personally believe it's pretty annoying that the base 10 system had to go and kill other bases off completely, especially our numerology.

No offense meant to intercultural comms people. In England, everyone has to do subjects the government percieves as "real", and it's crap so I may have satirized it carelessly.

[itisnotlogical]

well if you have sixty fingers to count on, you can go ahead and use base sixty

Illusory wall ahead.

It's because someone got the idea that pretty texture graphics are more important than a proper game engine. The technology grew into the wrong direction, and here we are now, with photorealistic graphics and ragdoll physics. I'd rather have vector graphics and quantum physics.

Yeah

[NJW2000]

Nah, but short term investors make big money off quick and high stock prices, leading to nice fat salaries for CEOs.

Big business these days in a nutshell, really.

Anyone that has watched a reunion at the house of commons has no right to be surprised at the whole pig thing. Seriously, the brittish house of commons is like the best reality show in existence. Its literally a bunch of middle aged or old men (with the occasional woman) talking smack at eachother.

[Loud Whispers]

Reminds me of the army woman who was dared to talk about cocks for as long as possible in parliament

She won
