An earlier version of this story stated that, as had been rumored, the new Battlefield would be set in an alternate-history version of World War I

Ah that’s assuring that it’s historically accurate. WWI was all about duck jumping over crates getting mad kills with a trench club after parachuting out of a bi-plane…

Its not like there are hungry pvp players waiting for you to come out of the starting stations to rip you to shreds. Get in a corp or that faction warfare stuff (pvp lite, I called it) once you understand the basics and do some pve stuff. Generally if you are in a fleet as a noob you are 1) not the priority target,…

Must go faster!

The more I think about it, the more I realize it is less likely shader mods (which never work as clean, leaves artifacts) and more so like how a friend of mine and I imported into a proper 3D software like Maya and rendered it out in passes and comp'd it together. Awesome work.

Man, it takes some real vision to make something using minecraft in its blocky over-saturated ‘glory’. He probably went back and forth looking at it with the shaders on and going in and tweaking again. I am assuming there is a bit of programming to build that and not just manual block placing. Minecraft art is a…

No different from a 3D model then. The model in wireframe looks pretty ok, then you put shaders and texture on it. The rendering process that follows is an artform in its own right.

I quit it for 6 months and it was great. But then I signed into soundcloud or something and my friend mentions to me “so your back on facebook eh?” I respond “noooo?”. “Yeah your back on, your account is up again”.
Signing into accounts connected to facebook automatically re-activate. Losing that ease of connectivity…

I just realized I was staring at the Gif while Tame Impala's "The Less I know the Better" was playing in my headphones. Took me a moment to realize why that was so familiar.

I found the one I had in 4th grade (uh...96?) in a box of crap I had in my closet (which also included those graphing calculators they forced us to pay $90 for).
I just need to get some batteries for it...

Especially since people seem to be really good at being hilarious in a game that is generally not trying to be humorous. That said, I knew that once DS3 was coming out Kotaku would once again be 40% Dark Souls and I would feel left out like I did during DS2. So I am pretty sure these vids are the reason I bought DS3…

I mostly loved making my friends pronounce the game's name correctly to watch the awkwardness.

After playing but not completing Dark Souls I because it was on a roomate’s PS3 whome of which moved out before I could complete it, skipping dark souls 2, and never playing bloodborne: Dark Souls 3 was like getting my first experience back. I think the moment where I spawned after getting my ass handed to me, I was…

At 1:35-ish... Ah yes the uplifting strum of a guitar over footage of an airplane smashed on the rocks.

The Bernie in a bikini reminds me of the end of Aphex Twin's Windowlicker music video....

..oh bother..

ah I see where your going now. But now I am comically imagining birds flying through the paths, dying mid-air, falling and then suddenly being sucked into the engines of jet-liners with sporadic poofs of sparks and smoke every now and then with each bird.

I always considered the fact they built them in remote areas hard enough. I cant imagine trying to haul those through a city.

Those look really cool, I've never seen anything like that. Reminds me of some 80s sci-fi art.

I think DARPA is working on a solar version of this. Remember that the energy is coming from wind. The more rigid the base, the more energy is getting properly absorbed into the blades to crank the turbine. Get one of those little paper fans, hold it and blow on it. You get some pretty good spinning. Now hang it from…

If there is sufficient consistent wind then I guess there probably are airports that do. It comes down to if the data is good to build them, you cant build them wherever you want. Usually several years of data recording is required to prove a site worth building on. But also you really shouldn’t be building them in…
