Completely. The animation system / rag doll system have years of development to go before you wouldn't notice it in 99.9% of all situations. Motion capture doesn't really do it either. They need to capture detail for every joint. The hands always look odd to me.
Plus they can add simulating of everything else to, organs, skin, clothes hair. Never too sure why organs, but it gives the weight to the fat over the body I guess.
Then the interactions between those systems next. There is a lot... Batman Arch city did a good job for fights, until the rag doll system took over.
For war games, I don't think I want "real". Shooting people needs to be cartoon violence. During an ethics class (I was 14 I think) they showed us WWII film of Jews being bulldozed into mass grave. The way those bodies moved still haunts me. I don't want the horrific aspect of what I saw being made trivial by a game. War games are already too "realistic" for me to allow my son to play. I'm sure that will only get worse.
Superman movies - he can fly, so can push himself about a bit within space. He doesn't need to move backwards. Also if that bothers you the lasers from the eyes must really grate.
Skyrim is a good example for this. In much the same way the lack of sounds in games gets me. Just two insects types in the game bugs me too. The ground should be teaming with ants. I think the team needs a zoologist. It isn't important for game play and of course I don't expect it to be in the game. But I do expect it to be in the world. The stage they've set really calls for a lunatic amount of things to be added. The next next generation of games will need this level of detail for immersion.
Whilst this thread is filling up nicely with the dull ins and outs for the TV fee. I'd like to have all the yearly content I've paid for on demand.
I'd also like to back date payments to get the years before I move out and had to pay for it. We (UK residents) paid for that, give it back! When you make a box set take it off the on demand part; but don't lock all the great stuff away!.
Top Gear USA isn't a remake. the topgear production company made a brand to sell around the world. It is by design.
They have topgear UK, USA and Australia. Possible they have sold rights to other countries and those shows use another name.
In Britain we all have to pay a T.V. licence fee. This money funds the BBC. Watching without paying is illegal. So you are "stealing".
I'm happy for overseas people to pay to be able to get access. I see no reason why overseas subscription isn't an option. The BBC is wonderful and the content should be seen.
I guess a heat wave in India in the summer doesn't leave a lot of cool air to make use of. Blowing 50c - 122f air about isn't going to feel cool anytime soon.
Air cooling is a method of dissipating heat and does cools things down or allows things to cool down. So I've no idea why it doesn't cool things down; but makes them feel colder. My understanding of Thermodynamics is limited to work heat heat work work heat... look out of window for an hour.
because tax laws are mental and getting a database to do that would drive it insane. I had to spec out a tiny bit of function with an accountant and the amount of exceptions to the rule made it pointless to have a rule.
How is your software for your employer still your software? Most places I know of treat every keystroke as their property. Well done mind you, they did come in handy.
I agree with the first two points and I know it's supposed to be a secular nation; but from the outside looking in and from stories posted here. It doesn't look that secular.
I looked up if adultery is legal in the USA and found in some places, it wasn't. I'd look into in more but its not a point I need to prove either way.

By point is, the NSA is involved in the supply of information that can and will be used for the purpose of killing people. I don't agree with killing; but if the state is going to murder. Then the very least I hope for is the information be correct.
for me all that and it also goes for film and music too. Nothing but wall to wall crap I just don't want. I've been looking at getting Netflix but there is nothing I want to watch. Going out to live events it so much better.
I can go with that. If it was upfront about all that it is and does then maybe there wouldn't be so much of a fuss in the first place. If you had a choice of DRM to use with a game that would help too.
There should be a law.
It's not a problem. Really there are much better things to be getting on with. It does take a while to relearn how to piss spare time away. I only pissed time away on 2 games in the last few years. Skyrim & after I installed the Arkham City demo I caved and got the full version in a moment of weakness. Paid the higher price from steam too? dont' drink and use computers kids.
I'm extremely extremely extremely un-happy about having windows live on my machine. But I'm putting in a SSD soon and will re-install windows. No more Batman then:(
No idea why games companies think they are so important.
If information is used to decided who to kill, then there can be no errors in the data. Considering the "Thou shalt not kill" bit in the big list seems to be ignored at least "Thou shalt not blow the wrong people into little bits due to data error" could be used instead.

I wrote "stealing". If the ironic use of quotation mark passed you by then nothing else I write will help and may only confuse more.
A gaming broadcast reference monitor may be a daft idea so I'll stop here :)

Interesting. I just had a look and came up with the HP DreamColor LP2480zx. At that price I'll never have one; but it does look the business.

Bloody communists stopping free trade :)
Well that's a bit shit. I'm happy to pay for iplayer, live on not.
I don't think they care how awful the USA version is. The amount of cash must be lovely.

:) The British Broadcasting Corporation does tend to focus on British stuff.

The guide dog pulls them along faster to make up for it.
They'll need a cool drink after they've compressed the gas by hand! :)
The 2am transgender party is a wonderful idea

I'm sure they wish that companies wouldn't try to hamper the market with mental copyright claims.

Not forgetting the IP minefield. Google's $12.5bn purchase of Motorola Mobility wasn't for its love of phones.
