But Red Vs. Blue is awesome!

Castlevania. I remember watching my cousin play this game on the SNES. Everytime the hero would jump, i would physically move too.

Minority Report style Glove Enjoy!

Don't forget arm wrestling and looking at store merchandise.

See what I mean! Laziness wins out. *runs away*

That only means more work for the Idlethumbs people. They might just ignore the request and pretend it never happened.

Ow, that hurts.

Strangely enough, I've seen this game in the arcade. It's actually a star wars game where I believe you use a lightsaber and sensor to simulating fighting with Darth Vader. LucasArts stole your idea and sold it. These days, at the expensive arcades, I'm seeing more and more use of virtual reality via the use of a screen and sensors. There's this one game about being a Policeman where you dunk and shoot bad guys. Although the sensor array seems to be a bit basic (the response is slow and movement seems so jerky), it is a cool concept. When I think of VR, I get flashbacks from Star Trek and the holodeck. Granted, the interface seemed so simple, and somehow perfect objects would appear out of mid air from a few simple commands, but it made my imagination run wild. Of course, there were numerous episodes about when the Holodeck's safties failed, nearly killing the users, but the idea of a creative interactive world is intriguing. I can see VR being a great way of perhaps doing surgery, overlaying specifications to complicated hardware or just having a 3d environment to interact in. I'm not quite sure how the clinic wanted to use your project though. By simulating something as complex as bulimia, they're asking you to somehow tap into someone's nervous system, to make them feel the nausea and smell their own vomit. I know simulating smells are a hard thing. And to feel sensations. I mean, images on a screen can go only do so much, but creating a unique smell for your world would mean a very complex and complicated mechanism. _--the gloved hand-- I think we're not exactly doing away with a keyboard and mouse altogether. Wouldn't it be more efficient to use both a glove and keyboard. I mean, I understand the level of interactivity they are looking for, to be able to grab your windows and what nots. But shouldn't there also be a keyboard to type things in? I can see this glove system being used by the military. I can see a 3d model of fighter jets and trying to move and change their trajectory from that. Actually, that's one type of interface I would love to see being used in Sci-Fi cinema, the use of 3d screens. Wouldnt' it make more sense?

Wow, Idlethumbs seems like such a hostile and unforgiving place. I must have done so many of the don't's multiple times. Therefore I am a newb or n00b and hated by all.

I would think gloves in a 3d environment would be more intuitive than a mouse and a keyboard. Naturally, when I see a bunch of stuff on top of each other, I would rather pick them up and move them around. A mouse and keyboard may be great for most stuff, but wouldnt' you want to be able to rotate data or point things out? Hands are a lot more precise than a mouse and keyboard. I mean, heck I've tried drawing with a mouse, and it looks like crap. So can you explain more about your project? I'm intrigued.

Not the Nintendo glove. An upgraded version, where you can point and grab stuff. Gah, I knew this joke would have come up.

Whoa, seems like I'm 33.33% of the female population. I can guess who the two other are. We need to bring our numbers up or something.

Don't mix your drugs! Bad Savage Cabbage!

I remember testing them out at E3. The games were very forgettable.

Surprisingly, "The 40 Year old Virgin" is a really good movie. It's hilarious, a lot of raucous humor but a touching human story. And I think I know the gay non-virgin version of the "The 40 Year old Virgin". Weird, but true.

Pixar's Ranft dies in crash No Pixar, you can't have any setbacks!

Add an "n" in there and Spakster will sound even more shifty.

*cough cough*

Yes it is. But isn't a lot of them like Do Zombies poo?

Cool! Another Dota player! I'm always looking for more Dota enthusiasts. Welcome to the forums.

A part of me wants to start a thread on voting on hot guys or something. I don't know, Jessica Alba is pretty, but she's also vapid. Looks, but little substance.

This reminds me a of a board game I've played before, where you're trying to escape a zombie infested mall. Gosh, I can't remember the name.

So I was told to never watch Episode 3, and I haven't. But my friends told me to watch "Clone Wars", a cartoon made by the same people of "Samurai Jack". It basically covers the plot between Episode 2 and 3. If you haven't seen it, you should - it's really good. They show the fighting prowess of the Storm Troopers. Personally, I thought Storm Troopers were another word for Cannon Fodder in Lucas' world, but "Clone Wars" shows their true fighting ability. They had intricate hand signals and fought without fear, and not to mention, Red Leader kicked ass. In "Clone Wars" General Grevious had to be one of the most menacing villians ever. My friends were mightily disappointed with Episode 3's treatment of him. I'm not going to give any plot points away, but just watch it.

Apparently there's a book out on Zombies that discuss everything you need to know, including if Zombies poo. (My friend told me about it) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1400049628/002-3609108-5593653?v=glance From Amazon: The Zombie Survival Guide : Complete Protection from the Living Dead (Paperback) Description: From Publishers Weekly In this outrageous parody of a survival guide, Saturday Night Live staff writer Brooks prepares humanity for its eventual battle with zombies. One would expect the son of Mel Brooks to have a genetic predisposition to humor, and indeed, he does, and he exhibits it relentlessly here: he outlines virtually every possible zombie-human encounter, drafts detailed plans for defense and attack and outlines past recorded attacks dating from 60,000 B.C. to 2002. In planning for that catastrophic day when "the dead rise," Brooks urges readers to get to know themselves, their bodies, their weaponry, their surroundings and, just in case, their escape routes. Some of the book's more amusing aspects are the laughable analyses Brooks proposes on all aspects of zombiehood, and the specificity with which he enumerates the necessary actions for survival-i.e., a member of an anti-zombie team must be sure to have with him at all times two emergency flares, a signaling mirror, daily rations, a personal mess kit and two pairs of socks. Comic, though unnecessarily exhaustive, this is a good bet for Halloween gag gifts and fans of Bored of the Rings-esque humor. 100 line drawings. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
