It looks like The Vision, Apocalypse, and Ronan the Accuser mashed up, and then made much shittier.

I feel sad about this. Not actually for Ahmed, because the publicity around this is going to get him so many internships and scholarships, in the long run, this is probably great for him. I feel sad about all of the people who got in trouble for learning, weren’t noticed, and didn’t get anything but punishment.

No, not at all. Depending on the speed you’re going, it changes how much the steering wheel turn translates to actual wheel turning. It’s like having an automatic transmission in between the steering wheel and the steering column.

I don’t know what everyone is freaking out about, it’s basically just doing the same thing that we could have done with gears a long time ago. It’s literally an automatic transmission for your steering wheel, except that instead of translating engine power to wheel speed, it’s steering wheel to actual wheel turning,

One could argue that this is just the person playing the in game Avatar.

I think most people would agree that aside from an over-use of CGI, the visuals of the prequels are not the main problem, it’s the story, and no amount of shot mirroring can make up for that.

Game of Thrones does VFX really well, because aside from things like dragons and other creatures, it’s all very subtle. There is a good mix of practical and VFX. For instance, the fact that the original shot of Lord Friendzone in the boat was actually in a body of water is great. If it were the Star Wars prequels,

I’m just wondering when they’ll go full on Crank with a character, and say that if they don’t have sex with someone every 6 hours, they die... from... something.

Agreed, not because I am in love with the design, but because just black and white looks weird, and strangely dystopian.

I could never quite get it straight, but this sort of the impressions I have: Reverse-Flash and Zoom are separate people, and at some point Zoom took up the mantle of Reverse-Flash, except for the times that he goes back to being Professor Zoom... I don’t really know, it’s confusing. I suppose if there are multiple

The worst was playing Monopoly with my sisters when we were young. We were so goddamn stubborn that we all did annoying things to prolong the game. My youngest sister refused to trade or sell any property because it might lead to us getting a monopoly, even if we were way over paying for it, or the trade would get her

I think that is single player, and he’s using Franklin’s slow down driving ability, because some of that obstacle dodging looks superhuman otherwise.

I am an IT guy, and have to work on lots of laptops, and I hate trackpads, so I bought like 5 of these and have them distributed between my desk, car, bag, and server rooms. They are absurdly useful, I’ve never had to change the battery once yet, and I’ve had some of them for 3 years. I don’t use it for my main

I was thinking they need to jump ahead a few years if possible (like 5 or 6). Sure, that means recasting Bruce and Kat (god I hate that they call her that) as in their late teens, but it means more villains can reasonably show up, and Bruce can be shown further into his martial arts training. Everyone else can stay as

I kind of wish they’d put the bike lane up on the sidewalk and make the sidewalks wider, so they can’t just bob and weave in and out of traffic as easily.

Yeah, there are tons of inaccuracies:

If this were any other business, a company would kill to have that kind of name recognition. If you asked anyone who used the term “photoshopped” what other image editors were, they’d probably just say MS Paint. No one even knows any of the competitors (shit, I only know of GIMP as an alternative). I fail to see how

It was kind of odd, I remember as the credits rolled, I leaned over to my friend and asked him: “...wait, was Hawkeye the main character in this movie? I think he was.”

So far, each Marvel villian’s plan made some kind of sense (make money, become ruler, revenge, religious fervor), I kind of liked it that his plan was just to fucking kill everyone because he didn’t like them.

Yes, and I guess my point is that real change won’t come because Google Fiber wires up a few small cities as a test, but the tipping point will be when the majority of US networks are Gigabit.
