Kill me now please.. These fucking hangovers man

Never Johnny Walker, in the amounts I had, ever again!

 

[Chilly]

so do you use a keyboard and mouse or a controller when you use yours chilly?

dont have a controller I can use with the PC so it's just mouse and keyboard, which is fine for WASD + mouse stuff as you dont have to look at your hands. Considering buying the hydra thing, though.

The quality of the OR is a bit naff, to be honest. I wouldn't buy it if you want to do serious gaming with it. It's close, but not *quite* there. The next gen will nail it, though.

Seeing one taken apart..it really is just a 7 inch lcd with two lenses attched to it..so i guess the banding is pretty bad..but you get used to that..guess we need a 1080 screen with awesome dpi..but its worth throwing 250 quid at.

He looks like the Canadian bloke that does the space podcasts about Water and such.

that's cos it is, by the looks of things, but why aint he floating around?

 

[caLLous]

That's because he's a long way below sea-level here (ocean floor was a pretty big hint). Pay attention, Gwad.

But he was in space in the other one, now he's under water? HOW THE FUCK?

or is it like a simulator?

 

[caLLous]

It's all very complicated really. Sort of, do one thing and then do another. This video is from December last year and since then he is (or has been) in space...

 

[mooSe_]

and this whole time I've just been sitting here in my boxers staring at a computer screen

 

[Nate]

how can you be in two places in different videos?! OMFG

 

[Gwadien]

I mean, how does the same guy qualify to do the two extremes? :S

 

[Edmond]

Maybe there is not a lot of difference in the training for space and deep pressure work, it may be more common than you think



.....or he's an alien

 

[Raven]

They just change the scene behind him using green screen.

 

[Edmond]

and the coke can was empty all along

 

[Job]

Pfftt, who needs a Rift, just made one with wifes 8 inch tablet, two lenses pinched out of my telescope eyepieces and an old pair of scott goggles, gaadd my eyes!!!
But it works!

He's still in space, Gwadien. Seems to be a BIT of a legend as well.

The best bit of that video is when he shoots down the capsule, grabs his guitar and then shoots up into another part of the capsule.

Before then I was like "noooooooooooooooo! his guitar is gonna hit the station and get damaged!". I'm glad he included the shot of him rescuing it

Mark Jacobs vs. Richard Garriott

September 12, 2004 | Uncategorized | 2 Thoughts
SirBruce already got his report on AGC up, which leads with the critical bit on what happened to annoy Mark Jacobs, president of Mythic Entertainment.
Specifically, it was this description of Richard Garriott (Lord British, duh)’s Thursday afternoon speech, emphasis added: (this is still up on AGC’s Web page as of this writing)

Thursday 2:30pm – 3:30pm
Building New IP
Richard Garriott, father of the online gaming industry (Ultima Series, Origin Systems, NCSoft), will discuss building new intellectual property.​

This bothered Jacobs, because, well, he’s been in the online game industry a lot longer than Garriott, who can’t even say he was the “father” of Ultima Online, the MMORPG which used his creation, Ultima, as its basis. (Though UO was arguably the first huge mainstream success in online game worlds, and Garriott is probably one of the fathers of computer RPG gaming in general. Split hairs and all.)
I wasn’t there to see any of the following, but suffice it to say there were lots who were. Near as I can tell, this is how it went down (and anyone is free to correct me on this).
Jacobs apparently confronted Garriott in the AGC speaker’s lounge, first just asking if he wrote the text in the manual. Garriott said he hadn’t. Jacobs then demanded that Garriott apologize in his speech, or else Jacobs, who was going to be in a panel discussion in the same room immediately after Garriott, would call the whole thing out.
Garriott apparently didn’t acknowledge Jacobs’ beef in his speech (and from what I heard, spent half the speech talking in general about building an IP, and the other half plugging Tabula Rasa. Raph Koster, in the thread linked above, said Jacobs’ retort went something like this:

Mark Jacobs specifically called out “folks by the names of Richard, Roy, Bill, Kelton, and John” — that would be Bartle, Trubshaw, Louden, Flinn, and Taylor. As it happens, I was standing next to Bill at the time, and he whispered to me, “Can I just be the mommy of online games instead?”​

Bartle and Trubshaw founded MUD1, Louden was founding manager of the pre-Internet online service GEnie, Flinn and Taylor founded Kesmai which made games for GEnie. All several years before UO. If you read the descriptions of each talk, you might note that most of them have a little more meat on them; almost as though whoever wrote the bit for Garriott’s talk didn’t have much to work with. “Um… it’s Lord British giving a talk… he’s important, right? ‘Father of online gaming’? Hell, let’s go with it.” I doubt Garriott’s at fault for it getting printed, but he probably could have defused that situation.
But maybe there wasn’t much to it after all, but hey, it was that kind of conference. I’ll get back to reporting stuff of consequence tomorrow.

I've loved watching his video reports on how thing react in space, also watching that video with the earth in the background is immense
