This is a normal post I think, more than anything

To be fair, it's just a film, and it may actually be decent (not seen it yet, although I haven't watched a marvel film all the way through since iron man 1) but I'm not sure about the whole man-child thing.
Some vocal excitement on the internet doesn't mean any more than people who watch soaps or super into music. I wouldn't label something manchild like and be done with it. You could miss out, same as you would with labelling other things.

Ok I have seen a few of them - There will be blood - found it terribly boring and wanted to punch Daniel Day Lewis in the face for boring me.
I did like No Country for Old men but it is not the best Coen brothers.
I have seen Pulp fiction and at the time it came out I thought it was good.
The rest I have not seen or would want to.
The funny thing is I work for production companies and I have a free cinema pass and last year I used it twice to see Alpha Papa and Citizen Four. This year I have not used it at all and gave it to a mate who goes nearly every week.

I would think more so if you don't like the whole superhero thing.

It's a heist film with improbable-tech bits that's never too far from taking the piss out of itself and what an absurd concept it is. The big climax especially. It's probably less ridiculous than the trailer for the latest Mission Impossible that preceded it when I saw it.

This is a normal post from my b3ta posts
You are a bit compulsive, somewhat critical and shrewd.

You are melancholy: you think quite often about the things you are unhappy about.
You are self-conscious: you are sensitive about what others might be thinking about you.
And you are intermittent: you have a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time.

More than most people, your choices are driven by a desire for organization.

You consider both taking pleasure in life and independence to guide a large part of what you do.
You are highly motivated to enjoy life to its fullest. And you like to set your own goals to decide
how to best achieve them.

*Compared to most people who participated in our surveys.

This is a normal post I 've had to scratch around for large enough blocks of text written in my own voice
Most of the writing I do day-to-day tends to be in technicalese, and most of my online communications tend to be fairly back-and-forth conversations.

I fed it two b3ta posts that met the requirements and got the following:

www.b3ta.com/links/1322518:
"You are confident, expressive and shrewd.

You are calm under pressure: you handle unexpected events calmly and effectively. You are self-assured: you tend to feel calm and self-assured. And you are unstructured: you do not make a lot of time for organization in your daily life.

More than most people, your choices are driven by a desire for self-expression.

You are relatively unconcerned with both taking pleasure in life and helping others. You prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment. And you think people can handle their own business without interference."


www.b3ta.com/links/1316835:
"You are shrewd, skeptical and tranquil.

You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. You are laid-back: you appreciate a relaxed pace in life. And you are proud: you hold yourself in high regard, satisfied with who you are.

You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of well-being.

You consider helping others to guide a large part of what you do: you think it is important to take care of the people around you. You are relatively unconcerned with taking pleasure in life: you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment."


Now there's some common themes in there, and parts that I'd recognise, but also some blatantly contradictory things too. I'd say it's a 60% score at best.

Early in my experience with Scotch I picked up a bottle of Laphroaig quarter cask for the "smokiness".

In most of the world, you have no choice if you want British news. It's Sky News or nothing. BBC World has gone off somewhere, trying to compete with CNN and Al Jazeera; they no longer cover British news.

This is a normal post A producer's dummy
To be fair, she has her producer's questions popping up on her screen which, given the format of a spoken interview, lose any power in seconds. The anchor has the freedom to sometimes wing it - rather badly here. Why producers favour this method over earpieces is anybody's guess. Live interviews must be stressful for all, especially when the anchor is a muppet of the two-sticks-to-work-the-arms/brain variety.

This is a normal post The Rift has full room & body too - Look at some of the stuff CCP are doing with dual kinect setups
However where are you going to be able to set up your own dedicated room with no clutter for your gaming rig..unless you're one of those MTV Cribs sort with a dedicated games room, cinema, pool and VR room of course.

VR for me at least is going to need a load of games we can play in the middle of a sitting room (or from a sofa) or its unusable for Joe Public.

This is a normal post Problem with flight sims in VR is
without the motion cues to your body, it's hard to not get seasick when the landscape tips and rolls around you, or even just turns left and right. Your head movement to look around isn't the problem - it's what the outside scenery does when you're sat still in a seat inside a moving virtual vehicle.

It's why smarter indie developers are coming up with games like FIRMA, where although you can chuck your lunar lander pod around like a nutter, it remains in a level orientation at all times, so your seated position still feels real to you.

And similarly it's better to put the player in some sort of in-game hover-chair, rather than trying to impose that FPS lurching walking effect onto someone who's sitting down.

This is a normal post FPSs and things like Skyrim suck
At least on the MK1 Rift dev kit that I have. Things that work brilliantly are ones with fixed frames of reference and smooth movement; Eg. Being the cockpit of something, be that a car, spaceship or indeed speeder bike.

Your body is already somewhat used to floating around in cars without any significant tactile input from its external surrounds so I'm assuming it works as an extension of this.

People that get car/train sick get sick in about 5 minutes no matter what you put on though (its much better with the later versions though).

This is a normal post I used to get VR sickness pretty quickly but now i'm pretty immune to it.
You're right though, best experience is in a fixed frame of reference like the cockpits of Elite Dangerous.

Half Life 2 was fun until Valve killed it with a patch though.
(, Thu 23 Jul 2015, 16:30, Reply)
This is a normal post True, I s'pose space stuff works as there is no clear frame of reference
It's near-to-ground stuff like an FPS or that Rebel Squadron, where you're shown a horizon lurching about and thus know it doesn't feel right. Rolling and pitching is a lot worse than just turning on the spot. A car is fine, but those Speeder Bikes can be seen to lean into the turns, and if you're not leaning yourself, having the game do it for you is just weird. Not sure a motorbike game could cut it, unless like Super Hang-On, it actually uses your weight shifting as the steering control.
