k... that bust is creepy... Si wants!!!

Si is back from Anime North

Feet are in pieces but thats ok!

Trying to upload pics now but Photobucket is being a bleepity bleep bleep.

So its all manufactured scenes using the models and textures? Talk about dedication to the cause.

And it does say "In-game Trailer"

Also note the clip of the shadow transition of the obelisk. Either they just thought it was cool or it has a purpose, IE showing dynamic shadows.

Most is in-game, but everything with dynamic shadows is obviously faked.

One question...

Dynamic shadows... HOW?!?!?

I was really happy to see my steam centurion at 1:16

On the subject of shadows....either those russians have some fancy tools, or its faked.

[_echo]

Or they dont understand the concept of "in-game" trailers being nothing but actual game footage. Either way, greatly disappoint... guess ill have to wait for skyrim for my shadows.

[_echo]

And ill just leave this here...

Game over, nerds win.

[WhoGuru]

Knitting myself a Who scarf. About five of the needed 13 feet here.

Not looking too shabby for what is only my third knitting project.

[InsanitySorrow]

Looking good Red , Just a little more to go

[Jheuloh]

Maybe WhoGuru could wear the remaining 10+ feet as a hat?

[ub3rman123]

And the last three or so could be used as a pot holder at the same time.

[JazzJR]

I think WhoGuru should make a scraf for every User with the Name on it

[Si-Shen]

This one has power again!! Finally!!! LOL

48 hrs without power should not be allowed!

It looks like it's surfing the in the first shot! +1 awesome points.

[Jheuloh]

Did someone say... Surfin Bird?

[donnato]

Good one J...I remember that and every so often, from out of nowhere that song gets stuck in my head...

Nice! All of my Spore creatures are always huge freaks with big mouths. And with no arms, usually.

What's your Spore user? I play from time to time, I could add your creations to my games.

This reminds me of the reference to this most excellent song in Tales of Monkey Island that made me laugh when I experienced it. A lot.

I was at a metal/punk nightclub once and after playing some heavy stuff, the DJ plays Surfin Bird....My brother and I performed the "official moves"from this authentic Trashmen video on the stage.

My Spore user has the same name as my TESA user.

Double post!

The color of fossilized dinosaurs is beginning to slowly move into the realm of something we can actually figure out, if we have the pigment cells.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/01/100127-dinosaur-feathers-colors-nature/ <-- Also the first feathered dinosaur to have been discovered by humans, in 1996. We know what pattern & a basic idea of what colors it had, but the assessment wasn't as precise/rigorous as it was for the animal in the second link.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/01/100127-dinosaurs-color-feathers-science/o/ <-- First dinosaur to have its exact color pattern & shade mapped out. Pretty isn't it?

Oh, so <shiver> cool!

Reminds me of this one I did for a forum some time ago. An homage to the Far Side:
