You should watch "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" it's "old school" for a "new" movie =P
I was unfortunate enough to catch "Kill Bill" on Aunty. :(: I really wish I hadn't. That kind of film was not good the first time around.

You can't "release" a PS3 game without an SDK license from Sony though. You need them to produce the disc with the laser lock, host it on PSN or all your users need hacked security chip. (actually, they can boot off a hacked USB dongle these days, which is nice)

Most of the Star Trek series was science fiction adaptations of old stories and legends, most of which are based on even older ones. The biblical story of "the great flood" can be traced back to stories nearly a thousand years older than Moses. So art reinventing it's self is nothing new.

Another interesting religious text observation... Have you ever noticed how Adam and Eve where thrown out of Eden for tasting the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge at the centre of the world, the very first story teller / warrior / poet (Irulagz) was Odin when he spied / absorbed the runes (writing) from the bark of Ygdrasille (the world tree), and the stone monkey (Sun Wu Kong) was banished from heaven for stealing the Jade Emperors sacred fruit of immortality from his peach garden? I find these tales remarkably similar to have come from completely different continents and completely different faiths.

Never mind the Opera, they will never replace the old boys singing a round in the local pub.
IDK if banana pickers still chant as they work (the origin of Calypso) but I know sailors (who would chant to keep oar pace or match rhythm hauling ropes) no longer do so in the same way.
I like to see a pub band play, even so. Sadly I don't drink and don't like to see people who do, so that kind of puts me off quite often.
I can book a day return to London and a West End musical or play for less than the cost of getting out to an IMAX to watch some crappy Hollywood "movie" though, and I know which I'd rather see. XD
Even a top 10 console game costs less than a cinema ticket for a Hollywood blockbuster.:blink: Cinema is dead, feature length YouTube is the future. :w00t: Remember "Video Killed the Radio Star"?

There is no point in releasing PT on not cracked PS3, they prohibit using mice XD

O yes, it was called "Epic of Gilgamesh" and was telling us same story about man and a flood... in 18th century Before Christ stories XD

You can always order coke with extra bubbles :D
Or you can drink ninja style >=P
The Epic of Gilgamesh I read references all dates relative to the great flood and yet, is older than the Exodus. Yes. But there are many other references.
Spoiler:
Scientifically, it is somewhat geographically evident that the orientation of our planets rotation has changed in antiquity, and the irregular "wobble" which creates both seasons and ice ages has been predicted both forward and back to show that that unstable element is leading to a collapse (like a spinning top) and almost certainly stabilised from a collapse in the past. During the "collapsed" period, momentum would indeed throw all the planets oceans over every land mass on the planet.
The geographical history suggests that Antarctica was almost certainly an equatorial continent at one point in it's distant past. That matches with the otherwise evidenced histories of the Ancient Greeks which mention a lost civilization on the continent of Atlantis.
Again, it's probable that not everything written in the bible is rubbish. Much of it matches with sound scientific theory. You simply have to accept that it is probably "the truth" as understood by a civilizations long lost, relayed on through generations and across continents largely by word of mouth. Not untrue, but not exactly accurate either.
I would love to know what Iraq (then area surrounding the walled City of Uruk) looked like with it's vast cedar forest guarded over by the mighty beast Humbarbar, slain by Gigamesh and his ill fated lover Enkidu. Again, scientifically, Humbarbar was probably a folk-lore boogie man, and King Gilgamesh probably only had to order the cedar forest hewn to "slay" him. When you prove the boogie man is not there, then his power over people is gone. You killed him.
I also love the depiction of Humbarbars blood spilling in a flood that covered the forest when Gigameshs' axe cut off his head. The red earth exposed by deforestation washes away in the rain, and often does look very much like rivers of blood.
I don't usually like "sweet" drinks either. :(: A very few pubs will still serve coffee, but only rarely in the evening. At least with Red Bull I can get my caffeine fix. ^_^

Re: Community spirit - "Off Topic"
By looking at the buttons I see its not "original". Most likely $ony disabled it long time ago. They even disabling USB headphones. $ony will work only with $ony.
If there was mouse for PS3 than all those people who play MW or other crappy online shooters would be dead. Mouse vs Game Pad in FPS. Can't beat mouse XD
lol
MW3 is on the supported games list for fragFX, and a highly recommended addon. (was on the support group I originally found, but I can't find it form official manufacturer)
Spoiler:
Best support advise I would give for any FPS is to apply wire wool vigorously to the surface of the disc until the polycarbonate platter is transparent enough to make out ridge detail in your fingerprints through it. :lol: (Unless it's Portal XD)
Sony did (originally) produce their own mouse, and I know I've plugged a regular PC mouse and keyboard in to use on the built-in browser. The keyboard works for many game chat, but the mouse does nothing.
Since the mouse works in the OS, presumably it is simply a matter of game developers not supporting a mouse. (I guess this is similar to the flurry of PC games supporting X-Bollox controller, despite such devices being specifically designed not to fit in the hand of an unmutated human being and failing to support DualShock3 / Six-axis, which is quite possibly the most convenient game pad ever designed)
fragFX mouse "emulates" pad operation from the mouse, and I suspect that it works like ... if you could see the pointer on screen, that would be your right analogue stick position. You know? Rather than working how an actual PC mouse does, where you can keep picking it up and dragging again.
However, I also have an analogue joystick mouse driver to Windows that worked like that. Full right, pointer is on right hand side of screen, full forward, pointer is at the top etc. It beat the crap out of using a mouse for general operations. It was even worse than mouse for painting and drawing. (and that takes some doing ... mouses sux ... that's why I don't use one :lol:)

Re: Community spirit - "Off Topic"
Friend told me that things like that are not working for him. I know that on hacked PS3 people wrote emulators to support mouse. Don't know how it's now. Sony like to block everything that have anything to do with emulation. Even usb arcade stick that where working on PS2 are blocked. Really strange.
I don't think it's "block" so much as "unused". As I say, you can use PC keyboard and mouse in the main OS, and you can certainly use what-ever you like on Linux. (just write the driver yourself)
They have ensured that their OS wont dual-boot any more, and that really ticked off my PS3 friend, but I'm sure the reason was DRM breaking concerns with films and music sold on PSN. (If you can access the Sony partition from Linux you can crack the DRM and copy off to external drive for burning on your PC)
Sony also get "bad press" from cheap input devices that work like crap on their games, and I know they have a system to disable devices by the PnP manufacturer ID code.
Oh yea, P0rtal is way more difficult in 2D... I think.

Re: Community spirit - "Off Topic"
I was thinking about PT security in general and I have few questions:
I think that sending results of hit/miss/critical should be send as a pseudo random number. So server can generate it too. E.g. critical percent using random factor e.g. last time server send in sync packet. Hackable?
What's bother me in PT is regeneration and MP/STM/HP.
Mana regeneration is very fast and obviously updating client with current value would lead to lag. Any better way to do this?
2 timers? One on server one on client? e.g. server have player MP + MP regen counter. Player use skill, mana pot and server is recreating this with +/- error ration. If player did not pot for X time and mp regen is too small than DC? Or there would be a problem with syncing this? I don't have any good Idea how to do secure MP regen.
And last question udp vs tcp. I know that some MMO use UDP and I would prefer it too... but possibility that packets sometimes could not be delivered or they could come out of order scares me when comes to security checks.

Re: Community spirit - "Off Topic"
Client display should be estimation. Server should know what recovery rate is, and be applying penalties for skill / spell usage and received damage. It should then tell the client. Client can "smooth" the server notifications without packet update.
@bobsobol I was thinking from "unity pt" perspective. The regeneration smoothing speed/sync worry me a lot.

Yea! Cheesey joke fight finalé. XD Commando - 'Let off some steam Bennett'
I love Arnie, but that film was terrible for the jokes. "What happened to Sali?"
"I let him go." XD
