It doesn't work. He's not black.

He might be Jewish though.

Makes perfect sense to me.

This is really amazing. The screens, projectors and camera are all mounted on robot arms, and everything is in perfect sync.

My brother either finds girls who are into Spider-Man or gets his girlfriends into Spider-Man. I don't know how the fuck he does it.

A simple policical spectrum quiz:

I'm only lightly more centrist than you. It's a sad state of affairs when we're supposed to think Obama is on our side? The only difference between him and Romney was the capacity for empathy and sanity.

If you haven't experienced The Last of Us, the story is incredible. I would have done, but can't budget for a PS3 at the same time as a PC (platform-exclusive games are bad, etc). Fortunately there's YouTube, even if it's nowhere near as good.

Someone compiled this watchable version which also includes much of the story dialogue outside the cut scenes, and montages of the major fights. Most "movie" walkthroughs skip too much, this one does not, although it's 6 hours long spread over 11 parts.



@Nate - I saw that "Box" video earlier - If they've achieved being able to do that in a live performance, it'd be mind blowing to watch.

IDK how you managed to compare because I didn't post my results for the simple political spectrum quiz. I did post my results for the more complicated political spectrum quiz though (the one that plots you on the 2D grid).

If I could have voted in the 2012 election, I wouldn't have voted for either Obama or Romney.

They claim that they can, but it would have to be something much simpler. So much of it only works because the images are rendered relative to the camera position. If you have an audience scattered around, it wouldn't be as effective.

DarkHoodness 10-02-2013 10:41 AM

I thought they were using 3D monitors or something (newish tech which came out last year), so that the audience would see the 3D effects no matter where they were sitting when watching it live?

I was under the impression that they had the camera move during filming of the performance as a way of showing the 3D effect in what would otherwise be a static and less impressive video for broadcasting on 2D screens. If you get what I mean.

Nate 10-03-2013 04:58 AM

Glasses-free 3D monitors only have a limited range of viewing. And similar to 3D monitors that need glasses, they're still only stereoscoping images. I.e. only two images (one for each eye) are displayed on the screen - not a full range of angles depending on where you're sitting.

This I like

Varrok 10-04-2013 07:44 AM

This was very good despite being new Simpsons

Mr. Bungle 10-04-2013 07:50 AM

That was good. Will probably be the best part of that episode, though.

DarkHoodness 10-04-2013 04:59 PM

Heh, new Simpsons with a subtle hint of its old style of humour... Shame Mr. Bungle is probably right.

I thought they'd worked out how to do that by now, but then I only skim-read articles on that. In the "Making of" video, they don't explain how they'd present it to a live audience of many people with multiple view points - Only to one person with motion tracking. And they use canvases on the robots which they project on to, not 3D screens as I had previously thought. But it's still awesome.

Speaking of robots:


Bullet Magnet 10-04-2013 06:49 PM

The real trick is going to be combining all these robot breakthroughs into a single form.

You’re forgetting Boston Dynamics’ best project.

Why did they build a weird, four-legged Houndeye from Half Life

They need to make P-Body next.

Is this an automated response, or is the Facebook staff really that thick? We had to inundate them with reports before they got their shit together.

And, to answer your question, I would not accept an offer of oral sex.
