I would be more excited about landing a rover on Titan.
But nobody cares about Titan.

How big is that thing?!

Note how they use normal, modern laptops once they get into space? Also note how they obviously had to survive launch and re-entry to be any use.Quote:

Hell, I could build you something that would work. Just give me some Intel SSD's to put in a RAID-60 array for redundancy and performance as well as passive cooling for all the components. Put them in a box with some fans on the front and back and bam, you've got yourself something that can stand up to "intense vibrations".
The laptops on the ISS are old IBM thinkpads. Not very modern per se.
Most spacecraft use (really)old tech mostly because modern stuff has been found to be difficult to harden against radiation. And contrary to popular belief you don't need a supercomputer to make simple calculations.
This picture actually scares the fuck out of me :v:
E: I'm not sure that this is real having seen a simmilar sign elswhere. Anbody able to verify?
Are they mixing two bad things into the same pot and letting the general population drink it in? What the fuck?
When the hell did pirating become linked with terrorism? The only money they've been giving is to the people who no longer pay for music licensed by rich bastards. I know adverts use the "rule of fear" when getting their message across, but this is the worst case I've seen. Also, where's the proof? And don't say nine out of ten dentists recommend it, because that shit won't fly.
^obviously they wont believe 9, because 10 out of 10 dentists recommend it. come on man. get with it.
What the fuck?
You're obviously FUNDING terrorism when you download something FOR FREE off the Internet, I mean, all those hits the terrorists are getting! They must be making TENS OF DOLLARS every month!!
It's like that ad in the 40s.

But more modern.

Almost.
I'm going to assume that everyone knows that this is only likely if terrorists were actually behind any kind of file-sharing/illegal downloading websites. Which they aren't.Quote:

Oh. my. god.
Very first piece of Wasteland 2 concept art.
That looks like Fallout out on steroids of epic proportions.
They had a goal of $900k on kickstarter. It's current funding sits at $2.1 million. Wow: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2
What game are they talking about for the Polish developer?
Model this.
That looks hella uncomfortable to ride
Everything this company touches turns to shit :lmao:

You won't believe what this concept was for.
It's concept art like this that makes me love Halo aesthetically.
When I see a cliff like that I always think about Truth and Reconciliation. In general it just looked like Halo as well because, well...it has color in it unlike everything else which has moved to dramatic shades of gray/some form of darker colors.
Why do you think this is?Quote:

Same here. One does not play Halo for over 10 years and not recognize that area.Quote:

Theres an origional concept for T&R floating above a desert mesa drawn by Eddie Smith, but I cant find it anymore :\
I don't exactly know if you're talking about the first part to my statement or the second, but I'm going to go with "multiple beta tests for SPv3's T&R."Quote:

A game as good as Arkham City deserves to have those accolades plastered on its cover.
Truth. That game was fucking amazing. They took everything that was good about Asylum, added thoughtful upgrades, and polished the shit out of it.Quote:

They are shortcuts to files in those folders! Zing.Quote:

It's not that I use all of my shit, it's just that I'm too lazy to sort through all of it.

too lazy to organize just throw it all into a folder :v:
But that's an extra two clicks away. :ohdear:
I think I'll survive
Better two clicks than a cluttered desktop. The wallpaper is there to be appreciated, not covered up like a dad covers his scantily-dressed teenage daughter.
