"It would take decades if work by thousands of scientists in a particle accelerator powered by dump trucks of flaming grant money" -Professor Farnsforth
I like that I have access to a welding maching, great angle grinder, access to a shop space and know how to weld and today I used all that to fix a broken metal cat litter scoop because my local store only sells plastic ones now.
Bits and pieces
I saw the movie 'Parker'
There are some parts of it that I liked but I found I had a problem with suspension of disbelief for the injuries the main character deals with in the movie. Normaly I'm fine with the hero wincing off what ever gun/knife/arrow wound (s)he has just suffered or the more realistic Selene passing out in the car after Lucian stabs her threw the roof, or Maximius eventualy falling off his horse from the 3" cut on his arm getting infected. I guess it was because it was sort of the middle of the two in this movie.
I've been watching a Far Cry 3 walk threw. It looks like an interesting game to me. I like huge world it's set in, I think if I were to play it I would end up doing a bunch of driving, a bit of rallye threw the dirt roads. I like the look of Vass and Citra not a big fan of some of her mating rituals, and Vass's style he does crazy well. I want to make a copy of that knife, something to play around with on the anvil at work. I wonder about using charcoal rather than 'wasting' the shops oxy-acetylene, but I think you need a blower and more of a set up for it to work rather than just lighting the torch. The walk threw doesn't go into the leveling up you can do in the game. One of the things is you can collect animal skins, in a badly animated skinning the dead ____ on the ground infront of you little scene, to make things to store the loot and weapons you collect. The first one is a simple draw string bag you make out of boar's skin. It got me thinking that later in the game you would have a tack vest with MOLLE loops made out of raw wet boar pelt. Some sort of Ostrich and the Komodo dragon are also hunted for their pelts in the game so maybe the upgraded swag carriers are made out of those. I wonder if there are a preset number of the bad guys in the game, if you wander around taking them out and later do the missions are their none left and you can then walk threw unopposed?
The bigger game news is this:
I was starting to think Blizzard wasn't going to put out an other heart of the swarm video or commercial. They do have a pretty loyal fan base. I'm going to buy the game on day one, March 12, just to buy it the first day. I think it sends a handy message if they need to explain their spending to anyone. They broke the 'In the first 24 hours sales record' when they released 'Wings of Liberty' and when they released 'Diablo 3' they broke their own record they set with 'Wings of Liberty'. I guess they may do a super bowl commercial tomorrow, or maybe not. When was the last duct tape commercial you saw? was it on Mythbusters or watching Apollo 13? WD40 has done some but mostly because they put a straw on the can that folds.
In the video does it seam like the ultralisk/tank shell hit is running a bit faster than this video? (2:14)
Can't wait for the single player evolve options
