At this point, I’m pretty sure that everything in the damn world is about to be patented as a possible game control system. Right now, someone is filing a patent for a game controller modeled after their grandmother’s little finger. Why? Tea party simulations, y’all. In the meantime, Sony has filed a patent for a controller that depends on your laughter… or your blind rage at the money you’re gonna be spending on all these add-ons.
SCEA recently filed the patent for emotion and reaction tracking–a concept that has promise, of course, but sounds hilarious on paper, particularly when coupled with these diagrams (Ha Ha Ha) and their example of two dudes high-fiving when extolling the types of group interaction the device could read. I can see it now: one guy high fives his bro after scoring a sweet basket, and the virtual crowd erupts in cheers. Sure, it works. I guess.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the patent is that this software can be applied to all sorts of media… movies, television shows, whatever. Kinda puts the Nielsens to shame when your machine can read whether or not you’re paying attention to what you’re watching.
None of this really means anything yet, but the next few years will be interesting, as the gaming companies scramble to create crazy artificial intelligences that will destroy us all.

I believe they just released the full series of Farscape in a DVD box set. In any case, if you haven’t seen the show and you like scifi shows, check it out. I like it better than most of the star trek series. I consider it a must watch along with Firefly.

Asshat. Destroying a beautiful piece of machinery like that for a freaking cell phone. The driver should be shaved, sterilized and shunned.
jediadept on November 16, 2009 @ 12:23 am (UID#3758)
Asshat doesn’t quite cover it:
He said the engine ran for 15 minutes while submerged; why the hell didn’t he simply shut off the ignition? It’s not like he was completely submerged.
Most of the frame is carbon fiber, so it’s likely still useable as a parts car. The motor which may have been salvageable, is screwed by sucking salt water into the engine.

Good god, it reminds me of an old statistic i heard on ViperForum (dodge viper site). About one quarter of all dodge vipers are destroyed on their way home from the dealership due to drivers having no damn clue how to drive their new 500HP street rockets. Seriously if you are going to be buying ANY high horsepower car you should take Driving classes from a racing school like Skip Barber or Bob Bondurant. But as usual people with assloads of money think they can do damn near anything and eschew common sense or logic for expendability. Now this great piece of automotive history is in a fucking salt marsh. Ettore Bugatti must be shitting in his grave.

Nope. They’re: Brian Downey, Michael McManus and Eva Habermann.
The show was great but very low on budget. The Farscape is much similar to it, but not so great anyway (not enough nudity and gags I mean
).

Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you’re doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can’t get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own –
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord – somebody – somebody
Can anybody find me – somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday – I try and I try and I try –
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I’m goin’ crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah – yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord
Somebody – somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I’m ok, I’m alright
Ain’t gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I’m gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love
