Cool stuff you've found on the web

Yeah, the wow factor would be amazing. Even that little one in the vid looked pretty good, despite it's clunky moves. Real, full size transformers are not very far away now, people. Place your orders!

Oh, and my transformer name is Rodimus Hill-Claw:

We've all done it. You have some care-free, drunken sex. You think it's just a crazy, exciting, one-night stand but before you know it her owner has trussed you up and you're expected to make an honest goat of her

Decidedly uncool, but addictive..

It's the American version so no sign of Noel Edmonds (phew!)

Movie thing for a fantastically cool-looking game that's in development but I think it's coming out later on this year or something. Anyway it looks bloody amazing the detail and stuff in it.

Warning - don't watch it if you're low on time 'cause it's about half an hour long. But worth the watch

Only watched a bit of Spore, but I'm hooked already!

Is this the one where you start off with a single celled organism, and evolve it, and the game engine keeps expanding from 'single creature building/survival' to 'populous like critter control' to 'space monkies'

George Gilbert · Post by **George Gilbert** » Wed Mar 22, 2006 6:42 pm

Yes - that's the one.

I remember when it was first talked about behind the scenes a couple of years ago and it sounded stunningly ambitious then. It still does (and is) but judging by the video it seems they've pulled it off. Amazing.

Side note - If you type spore into google, despite it being a "normal" word nearly all the top results returned (including all of the top 7) are for the game, not mushrooms / fungi and the like...

I have managed to recreate spore the spore thing in real life! Leave a cup of tea on your bedroom windowsill for 6 months, and watch the sucker grow!

Have they managed to develop a language yet? I bet fungus have really interesting things to say if only we could understand them

George Gilbert · Post by **George Gilbert** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 4:45 pm

It's when they develop UFOs and start blasting neighbouring cities that you have to start worrying...

I'll post a link to a pic of a satsuma I found in the bottom of the fruit bowl a couple of weeks ago. Christ knows how long it had been brewing.

Neato, though looks like the panels aren't screens -- the images appear behind them before they're in place a few times -- must just be a flat screen with touch-sensor tech on the panels.

Here's some strange/cool stuff: The last one is just wrong and I feel slightly uncomfortable posting it, but was sent to me today by our resident perv in the office.

With your twisted psychology you just guaranteed everyone has to click that link. And yes, that advert is so, so very bad and wrong. To the disgusting minded of course...
