I had The Way Things Go on VHS taped off the TV in the late eighties and haven't seen it in years, it is a truly superb piece of film. When I first saw the Honda ad' this is what I thought of. I couldn't even remember what it was called (chain reaction or something...) but now I know, I can get a copy.
Anyone know anywhere in the UK that stocks this ? Amazon.com have it but no mention on Amazon.co.uk. Googling draws a blank.
So an anonymous coward reposts something already posted earlier in the topic and some retard mods it up as funny, if you're gonna mod, at least read the previous comments, fsckwit!
EDoom-P800 - EDoom for the SonyEricsson P800 Port of EDoom to the SonyEricsson P800 (Symbian OS version 7). This time the port is more complete, game safe/load works, it has 8 channel sound support and can be configured to either rotate the screen to the left or right.
Download:
* Latest version of EDoom for the P800 is 1.0. Download the.SIS file and install it on the P800 as per normal. Also read the comments below on WAD files.
* Latest source code is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
To build from source do this:
o Unzip the EDoom source code.
o Change directory to \doom\doomapp\group and build the project edoom.
o Change directory to \doom\epoc\group and build the project doom.
WAD files
Just as for EDoom for the Psion devices, the P800 version of EDoom doesn't come with the original WAD files. Again, doom1.wad and doom3.wad is probably what't you're after. So, be creative! Buy a copy of Doom, search for them on the net or "borrow" them from your Dad (afterall, Doom is pretty old;-)). Essentially I don't care as long as you're not going to mail me asking for a copy. Once you have them, store them on the P800 in the folder called DOOM under Document.
Screenshots
No project without screenshots nowadays, so here goes. This is the EDoom frontend from which you start EDoom. When started you get the EDoom's splash screen.Choose single player game from the menu and you get here. EDoom is 320x200 and you may configure it to be rotated to either the left or the right.You can also save & load games; when saving a game, you can use the on-screen virtual keyboard, conveniently alpha-blended with the Doom scene.
Game control
Game control was one of the... let's call it challanging aspects of porting EDoom to the P800;-). Here's what I've settled for in the end:
* Navigation: Use the stylus as an on screen joystick. The rules are:
o Move the stylus up / down to go forwards / backwards.
o Move the stylus left / right to turn left / right.,
o When moving left / right at the same time as forwards / backwards the left / right delta movement is done in smaller increments to prevent jitter.
o Strafe left / right when moving forwards / backwards to make a big turn in that direction.
* Fire: Camera Button.
* Use/Open door: Browser Button.
* Strafe left/right: Jog dial up/down.
* Look up/down: Jog dial left/right.
* Jump: Jog dial inwards.
* Other: Use the on-screen virtual keyboard for alpha-numeric input when needed (for example when loading / saving a game). Commonly used keys like ENTER, ESC, Y and N, and 1-6 for switching weapons are also included on the toolbar.
* Configuration: You can change the key / button assignments as per normal via the menu (Options -> Setup Controls). The P800 specific keys have been mapped to keys A-G.

Anyone remember Apricots from the 80's ? They had an alphanumeric lcd with programmable function keys under it, neat idea, no idea why it didn't catch on.

You mean a solar radiometer, I have one spinning on my kitchen window sill.
Perhaps he could relocate to Soviet Russia and assemble it there.
So you've got a load of PC's stacked up in front of a ground floor window for 'security' ?
Sounds more like you're baiting f**kwits to me...
There's a hell of a lot to be said for simplicity.
D'you think I could interest you in a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers?
Only if you sterilise them first...
Why not try it for yourself ?!?
It makes zebra crossings smell like bananas.
Insightful ?!? What insight ?
I've had a HP 970CXi for about seven years, it prints cv's when required and the (very) occassional letter.
IT'S STILL ON IT'S FIRST BLACK CARTRIDGE !!!
And it still prints perfectly...
Explain that.
No - he invented gold mining.
Thank you Mr Anonimous Coward !

You can even customize your Avatar by visiting a Spa for a "facial", although we didn't get a chance to try that out.
Arf! Slashdot got 'appled'....
...slashdot ?!?
Once you've found your car keys, do you keep looking ?
Me too (my girlfriend, not yours).
I think I may finally have a use for that old chest freezer in the garage 8o)
