I really wish I could talk to this guy for a couple of hours. I could learn so much.

I somehow found this deeply disturbing.

I was being fatuous.

Awesome! Except I wouldn't really call Coventry a "town". When I was growing up there it was a perpetually miserable, industrial city, with a collapsing car industry, full of ugly and hopeless people with nothing better to do than try to sell you coke or put dog shit through your letterbox after you beat them up with a baseball bat for threatening to kill your dog.
Man, fuck Coventry.

Every city has it's bad side. The Coventry I know is, thankfully, not the generalised one you recall.

Always wanted to be a bullet.

I think it all sounds great!
Except for maybe the wireless speaker (if it is on batteries).
She pulls it out of the side, which makes me wonder if it doesn't have a slot, making it recharge while it's connected. You just pull it out for movie night.
And ya (@Gallowflak), Sometimes families use TV, DVD & MP3. what was your point?
Example: As an artist, I don't mind the idea of grinding my own pigments to make my paints, but I don't expect the average person to bother. It's the same with tech. Why would most people bother? Confusing tech is a FAIL in my book. If I have to go and set up one more family's surround-sound or program one more super-remote - I'm gonna loose it


I'm not sure I really had a point... just that, as CrushBug notes, this obviously isn't for people who get a kick out of technology* and have an active interest in it.

And when I said "as a sound guy", I was mostly joking and being masturbatory, but I'm sick to death of shitty goddamn speaker systems.

*(or at least entertainment tech/hardware)

Utterly wireless subwoofer? meaning it runs on batteries?

As a sound guy, I find this deeply offensive. But it kind of represents what they're going for; families, rather than technophiles... people who want to sidestep the inconvenience of dealing with entertainment technology and just get something that does it all with as little hassle or micromanagement as possible.

Well, good luck to them. As an aside, I have a niggling feeling that this is going absolutely nowhere... now watch me be hilariously wrong in 3 years.

Go on.

Well that machine is actually filling the suit with thousands of tiny of model trains, not air as you may have assumed

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this some kind of fetish sexuality?

According to the youtube description this is where he bought his suit. . . so I'm going to say yes.
I suspect it's a fetish that mostly appeals to mildly autistic people. That's not an insult. That sort of sensation is often very soothing to them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hug_machine


No no, in order for autistics to experience any kind of sexual satisfaction we have to rub our dicks on model trains.

Hmm. My thoughts, play-by-play style
-So, another high fantasy RPG huh?
-Oh great, magic. How new.
-Wait, tech too? Steampunkish? Looks a lot like... Hmm, looks a lot like Arcanum! Man, that was a great game! Please tell me this is inspired by it!
-Kind of... Actiony, isn't it?
-Yes, very combat heavy. Wait a minute. This is another one of those "you're a badass killer superman" games, isn't it?


From the looks of things, in their releases, interviews etc, this game is like Hitman meets Thief meets Half-Life 2 meets Dark Messiah. Set on a steampunk island nation. In an ocean full of whales. With electric bowmen on stilts.

Yeah, yeah, it's a cinematic. I've had my eye on this for a while, though, and it looks promising.

I hope they get a new voiceactor for your magical benefactor.

how can anyone be that bad at this?

This really hasn't been posted yet? Huh. Dropping it in skillful experimentally.

I thought this was so good I'm gonna *promote it out of the gate.

Holy shit.
