Considering the wobble when its weight shifts back onto its feet when transforming into humanoid mode, I would say that the video isn't sped up (at least in that part of the video).

And you just TRY and distract that large boulder behind your house. That thing's been staring at the hill on the other side of the valley for MILLENNIA.

That's not actually true. Princess Mononoke was one of the first feature-length anime films to use computer generated graphics, and Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle used significant amounts of computer animation.

I think support personnel should get credit in the credits of games they helped make possible, but I don't really think the entire staff lists of marketing departments/firms should be reproduced in credits.

I only see two or three of those. Much more common for the women is the cross-the-legs pose.

You seem to be conveniently forgetting Lollypop Chainsaw looming on the horizon, with its colorfully murderous cheerleader and her disembodied head of a boyfriend.

Most people don't *really* know what the definition of spinning is, though. A spin of 360 degrees or less that hits the ball isn't actually "spinning" according to the USTSA rules... In fact, according to the rules, a 720 degree spin that strikes the ball at exactly 360 degrees wouldn't be illegal...

It's one of the several songs you can ask bards to sing for you.

And then what did Activision do with the Modern Warfare series that resulted?

Maybe you were mastering the shell-step infinite 1-up trick, like many of us were doing 20-27 years ago?

This sounds fairly apocryphal, considering that the book predated the movie by several years, and certainly featured velociraptors.

Hammer. The one in his pants.

I believe that was more that it's catastrophic to use it inside an atmosphere.

Go humans. :(

I recall Jane Goodall commenting that she thinks chimpanzees learned to fight each other from us, and that she only knew of a very select few groups who had ever done it.

I was thinking the cape isn't heavy enough— as you say, apparent weight is the biggest problem with physics implementations in video games. Ironically, adding a realistic degree of apparent weight would REDUCE the load on physics processing because, let's face it, cloth and (especially) leather are generally just too…

Also, it might be prudent to point out that the elevator wouldn't be a hollow shaft, it would be a relatively solid structure (density and shape depending on what it's made of and tailored to the stresses it would have to endure).

Yeah... you WANT it to stay standing up if it breaks, though. Thankfully, in most scenarios where it breaks, its motion will pull it off the Earth, rather than letting it fall back to Earth. But if it falls back down... you have a whiplashing, super-strong, super-thick cable whipping back down to the planet—-and…

Uh oh, this is how it happened in Ben Bova's timeline. And the Japanese backers ended up sabotaging the project, causing millions of deaths...

I'm pretty sure all of the above are valid outcomes of the Zen Navigation strategy. Outcome 3 just tended to be the one that showed up the most in the books for plot purposes.
