There'll be a few neat demos, maybe some simplified party games & funware, but I don't see this technology ever taking off for professional fields like 3D art or game design. As cool as it looked in Minority Report and Iron Man, people in real life get will tired of standing around for extended periods of time with

If you're not under arrest, you are under no obligation to comply with a cops orders.

How was this done for movies like Barry Lyndon or The Godfather in the days before digital intermediates? Chemically? Or did DPs just have to make sure the camera settings were just right for each and every take?

I agree. Lets use the advances in compression tech to get 1080p looking as lossless as possible before we think about 4K.

Well, yeah if you exclude pedestrians, store clerks, characters in the main storyline, and side quests, then the remaining female NPCs you can interact with (using menu choices) are pretty much prostitutes, strippers and bartenders, which is unfortunate. I think if R* wants to keep strippers and prostitutes in GTA,

The fact that you can't play as a woman in the main story is definitely a disappointment. Hopefully an upcoming expansion or GTA 6 will change that. That said, most of the female NPCs I see in a typical GTA session are store clerks, irate drivers I crashed into, businesswomen, random yoga moms or trendy 20somethings

I wouldn't worry too much about any precedents. Australia isn't exactly known as a model of level-headedness when it comes to adult-rated video games. In GTA's case, the market has already spoken. The game has sold like hotcakes and will continue to do so in future installments. I'm sure the same pearl-clutching

I don't get how this applies to GTA and not to other free-roaming sandbox-style games that let players go on NPC killing sprees if they so choose. Don't games like Fallout and Assassin's Creed also let players act like depraved murderers?

#22 is not Eastern Promises. It's a screencap from The Indian Runner (though Viggo's peen is on display in both movies).

They might as well try to explain how Cyclops shoots beams from his eyes. Zombies work best in a supernatural horror or fantasy setting alongside goblins, demons, and dragons. Better to leave the "science" out of it. How do any of their rotted, mummified body parts continue to function so well? Can they keep rotting

I would guess yes. Even when you factor in the health risks of smoke, the few who develop lung or throat disease as a result of weed use are a drop in the ocean compared to the many who have their brains, hearts, livers and other organs destroyed by alcohol.

Bitterness, and an inability to self-reflect or deal with a nuanced, adult world correlate heavily with a conservative worldview. Major red flags include just-world victim-blaming, griping that political correctness has "run amok" or done "more harm than good", and the general sense that things used to be fine until a

It's an age-old derailing tactic. The false dilemma of "no point in discussing problem A because somewhere in the world there's a more severe problem B going on".

Cultural critics aren't whiners or hypocrites or "sitting on their ass" for pointing out the faults they see in a thing while failing to produce a superior thing. A film critic doesn't have to build a film studio from the ground up and produce a superior movie to Django Unchained if he doesn't like Django Unchained. A

The problem with them is that [wearable cameras] are expensive and no one wants to pay for them.

I coulda drownded, Gilbert!

It's probably a mix-up with "artesian" which describes a type of aquifer, not a skilled craftsperson.

While those are the true pronunciations, pronouncing foreign words like "croissant" or "tostones" exactly like a native speaker comes across as irritatingly affected in most English-speaking situations.

Exactly. Console games already let you adjust screen borders, gamma, difficulty, button configurations, gore, audio, etc etc. Offering two display options isn't going to boggle anyone's fragile mind.

Lightning has a long history of striking people. Vehicles have a long history of crashing. All risk is relative. When you factor everything in, the benefits of vaccination overwhelmingly outweigh the risks.
