  1. It's completely over turned now, pretty awful that this sort of thing can happen. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those effected.
  2. I'm going to play the shit outa this game when it gets released!
  3. Nope not a clue Could you imagine the line of creeps queuing up to buy that
  4. YOU are playing a video game, and your avatar is creeping into a haunted house at the dead of night. Suddenly, you freeze in your chair. Something is crawling up your back... Whether this idea appeals or not, researchers at Disney have made such sensations possible by inventing a system that fools players into thinking that objects are moving against their skin. Their brainchild, known as Tactile Brush, creates the illusion of being touched by anything from falling rain to crawling insects. One of the illusions the team employs is called apparent tactile motion. If two vibrating objects are placed close together on skin in quick succession, people often experience this as a single vibration moving between the two points of contact. In a related illusion, known as a phantom tactile sensation, a pair of stationary vibrations is sensed as a single stimulus placed in between the two. Apparent motion has been around since the early 1900s and phantom sensation since 1957, but this is the first time anyone has used them to provide precise tactile feedback. Ali Israr and Ivan Poupyrev at Disney Research Pittsburgh studied these illusions with the help of volunteers who sat in a chair backed by a grid of 12 vibrating coils. By operating the coils in different sequences and at different intensities, they worked out how to induce the sensations of apparent motion and also persuade the volunteers that they were feeling extra coils that didn't exist, which creates a more realistic effect. Israr and Poupyrev incorporated these two illusions into software that controlled the coils, which convinced the person sitting in the chair that shapes were moving across their back. At the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, held last week in Vancouver, Canada, the researchers demonstrated a driving game that makes use of Tactile Brush. Players feel a force from the chair that mimics the experiences of cornering and accelerating by activating the coils in sequence to sweep across the back. In other early tests, Israr and Poupyrev have simulated the sensation of raindrops running down skin by tracing a vertical line downwards. Israr describes skin as an unexplored display surface. "Two metres squared - that's the total area of our skin," he says. "It's a big area." The team is also working on a wearable device with vibrators in the sleeves and around the torso. Disney wants to develop systems that could augment the company's amusement park rides. Israr suggests that riders could experience the sensation of wind and rain sweeping over them, or insects crawling over their backs. "I'd really like to get it into movie theatres," adds Poupyrev. He says it would help movies to compete with DVDs and home cinema. "3D is already there. Movie theatres will become more like amusement parks. Movies will engage all the senses." http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21028137.900#.U05PSfldV14

  13. Hi all, a very good friend and relation to my girlfriend has spent the last year or so creating, what i think to be, a great film. I don't want to say too much because their words will be better than mine but they are looking for the last bit of funding that they need to bring the film to life. This is completely original idea and is a metaphor for the world today. Please read and watch the trailer and if you feel it deserves it and you can afford it, please donate to their dream and if you think it's worthy enough please share on other forums and social sites. To anyone who give this a look, thank you, it really means a lot <3 http://kck.st/1eFrq3i To anyone who give this a look, thank you, it really means a lot <3
  14. ^ nice Dave! Hadn't even noticed that one!
  15. More like you high-bell-slapped each other
  16. Jeez that a long ass way! On the iphone you just click two buttons......should of got an iphone
  17. Open Settings > Motion. Scroll down and find Hand Motion, then Palm Swipe to Capture, and tick the box. Close the menu and find the screen you want to capture. Shape your hand like you are “chopping” the screen, set your hand vertically on either side of the screen, then horizontally swipe across it – it doesn’t matter which way – like your hand is a photo scanner. If you’ve done it correctly, you should hear the camera shutter and receive a notification that a picture has been saved to the gallery. You speak the truth broski!
  18. Chelsea will get over looked because they spent all their money before the FFP came into play, which i suppose is fair enough. All the funny money in the Premiership and any other league is all down to governments, they've made their money way before they decided to buy into football. I suppose if a government can't find them guilty then it'll be hard for UEFA or any one else to say no. City should be banned from European competition, they should stick to exactly what they said and back out like a bunch of bitches. If they get fined and nothing else then it's a joke! The whole naming rights was a joke also, i don't get how you'd even go about doing that without the proper permission. I know the guy who's trying to buy Leeds has had a bit of a hard time of late, i know you've got to pass a test before you can take over a club. No idea what the test it about though?
  19. I apologise for being such a spice hating, long haired, junkie ass, hippy looking twat.
  20. True dat
  21. Holy shit something's actually being done about the financial fair play shiz! Although if it's just a fine then it's pointless, pretty sure any team found guilty of this wasn't allowed to play European football? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/news/10766475/Manchester-City-to-be-made-to-pay-a-high-price-for-spending-spree-under-Uefa-Financial-Fair-Play-rules.html and in other news, if you stop a goal from going in, even when you shouldn't be on the pitch, it's a yellow card (wtf??)
  22. It's hard watching idiots, he doesn't just fuck up once!! That's the worst part
