It could easily cause internal bleeding; you're taking the majority of the force of a bullet (a 45 ACP is about 400 ft-lbs) and spreading it out from the tip of a bullet to a spread a few inches in diameter. You can get internal bleeding from a punch or from being in a car wreck too cause of the amount of force…

The force of the bullet still strikes someone regardless of what they're wearing. The vest disperses the force and prevents the bullet penetrating any deeper. That said it's enough force to make someone lose their balance (and probably fall) and from what I've seen before it generally looks to give you a large bruise…

The computer beep sound you describe is POST (Power On Self Test) and quite frankly if I don't hear it while I'm facing away from a computer I think something has gone wrong (if it doesn't POST then something could be wrong). So I always make sure it's on anyway :P

Haha! I watched the video first before reading for fear of spoilers so I kept wondering if cameo happened and I just didn't know who it was or spot them. But man oh man as awesome as the rest of the video is those few seconds eclipsed all the other humor.

No Ironside? My only complaint from seeing this.

Those all merit freaking out, Japanese or otherwise.

Antiquated, sure, but recognizable in an abstract or simplified illustration and that's the idea of good design: communication. We see film strips to represent video (on your site here), a Polaroid to show pictures (also on your site), a magnifying glass (on your site as well) and other once-every-day-use objects to…

ZOMG this is the best news to me! Why isn't this the title of the article!?! New Marathon game FTW!!!

There is tons to do to make it cinematic, and to me 24FPS makes video look more cinematic. Anything else looks obvious, it was a small suggestion that I think would personally improve the look of it. And yes, making it look cinematic would be a good thing in my opinion; this game is based off a movie franchise, we…

My vote goes to XBox 360.

Generally speaking videos are captured or re-encoded to be ATSC 30 or 29.97FPS when originating in the US (although it is dependent on the hardware they used to capture and the software encoding settings, don't assume it's "QuickTime"). Games can have a frame rate be anything they can muster although they must output…

The director's cut of Aliens shows a bit more of the creature's intelligence. Plus an individual can always be more dangerous than a group given they have to protect their last resource— their own self. Additionally in Alien it could possibly be considered that the creature was acting alone (wait for it) whereas…

I haven't checked out any of the written lore (although I heard there was a particularly good one with Hicks and Newt) but as far as I am concerned only Alien and Aliens mattered. Alien 3 was alright and I am not one to second guess Fincher who proclaims Fox producers messed it up for him (believably so, they have a…

Framerate looks high... a little... too high. If you're going to make a game based on a movie, in the spirit of it or as a sequel or whatever then stick with the movie resources as much as possible. They're doing a good job with sounds, design, etc. but why not also stick with 24FPS, too? Just my two cents.

Sure can't, that's why I had to pay for my baller TV on my own.

If you have to save money to buy a $20 over the course of several months then you sound like you'd be better off selling the Xbox 360 to make more scratch. And your computer, and cancel your internet and get yourself a better station of living first lest you rely on those two for income that is worth dollar one over…

Recently I met with deadmau5 to show him a TriCaster (video switcher), he wanted to see if we could key him out but his green Space Invader tattoo on his neck kept keying out too. And I quote, "There go all my dreams of ever being a weatherman."

You're right, he did the right thing and that means he is human. Far as I'm concerned humanism and racism aren't qualities a single person can harbor simultaneously.

You can be under a party, but anyone born a U.S. citizen that is at least 35 years old can be elected president. Technically speaking if enough people did so Joe Blow who had no interest whatsoever in running could be written in to the ballot and be "elected".

Yeah I remember watching it when it came out and laughing my ass off. This trailer seems to descend from funny to melodramatic. If that's the direction the series has taken I don't think I'd care to revisit it. I'll play Halo if I want the story, I'll watch RvB if I want humor.
