I find it fascinating that the second picture down (rainy diner scene) has a mobile device in it with a strobing screen. His other works have CRT displays that, when filmed, do tend to strobe according to their refresh rate. LCD screens, ho

I'll happily agree that Painkiller has some more variation then SS, but on the whole it's much more focused with wave-based arenas. This isn't a knock against Painkiller at all, it's a favorite of mine - yet it's st

I'm interpreting this as pretty hardcore satire. Is anyone else picking up on that?

There is a critical gap between the sensibilities of Doom/Quake/Duke and Painkiller/Serious Sam: level flow. The latter camp is in varying degrees a series of rooms you get locked into as enemies spawn in waves. The former in

This leads to what strikes me as a potentially negative heuristic for determining what moments in a given film have worth. Summer flick drivel aside, would RunPee assign a high pee time to, say, Drive, which has a significant amount of mood

This is a neat implementation! I'd be happier to see some attribution in regards to the assets being used, however. This was a custom player model made for Quake II multiplayer, and it is used by some players today. Readme for the mode

It has promise, but it irks me that trouble was went to to include the iconography, but they aren't interactive - only the labels are.

From a composition standpoint, that really is a rather excellent poster. The central gag is obvious, but there are several little things contributing to it. And the header motif is clever without overshadowing the main content.

At risk of turning this into an echo chamber: In-App Purchases become intrinsic mechanical elements of a player's experience of the game. This results in the design skewing towards encouraging "positive" events, namely making

More to the point, it seems that the police must skew towards that attempted 0% risk, which is what starts snowballs like this. I find it ironic that with all of the talk flying around about nothing being private, a facebook conversation th

Look into != jail for several months. There are (supposedly) fairly well-defined use cases for probable cause and sufficient evidence to prosecute, and it seems these were all trampled over in this case. In regards to the Judas Priest comme

You can only comment on images that are explicitly uploaded to the gallery. This is an extra step after uploading an image. There are no commentable images on imgur that are not intended to be (reposting unsubmitted content aside).

This doesn't seem to have a lot of granularity in color around the 0 mark. Above 0 we have a warm color, below 0 we have a cold color. Would it paint a more informative picture to give +/-(relevant fraction) a distinct color?

Can I attempt to clarify the perceived intention of Tarkovsky with his novel adaptation? I wouldn't frame the films as evidence that he didn't care about the source material or what it attempted to say. Rather, it seems to me that

There's one key point that I haven't seen discussed here much. If this were a simple case of Microsoft contacting content producers directly and offering these things, then it'd be more acceptable. However, these are partners

That's a good point, but then the critical factor is that nobody knows how many people have blue eyes. More specifically, each person has to hold the possibility that n = observed persons with blue eyes + 1, which is himself.

This is the missing element from most explanations I see of this problem. We all look at the n cases from the POV of a blue-eyed person. An outside observer with brown eyes has the same level of information available to him, so it seems to

This is a topic that essentially comes down to taste, but I'll attempt to outline the core appeal. You're right in saying that Wolf3D was mechanically simplistic when compared to the original - however, these choices were intentio

Recent innovations in construction have provided residents with rather effective countermeasures to the weather. But seriously, having moved here from a snowy/cold climate, I'm more than willing to trade an extra 20 degrees in the

I found this to be an astute observation about Little Brother, but it's not something I'd apply to the genre as a whole, or even Doctorow. I was highly impressed by the characterization in Makers, which was only published a year l
