Given how much he hams up the Palpatine role I'm surprised Ian McDiarmid was so reticent to have a bit of fun with it.

If it works I may have to give this a try. https://share.oculus.com/app/i-expect-you-to-die

In this case I think "Art" is more narrowly defined as "Art and Design" rather than "The Arts and Humanities". http://stemtosteam.org/

From an industry perspective, art is pretty important.

Doesn't seem like it would be better at modelling anything like tsunami effects or what have you, but does make things more easily understandable. Could also be a great accessibility tool for those who are blind? You could feel pie-charts etc. I dunno. Seems like a solution in search of a problem.

I hear it a lot, but given my employment history it's not surprising. Also hear it referred to as STEAM (the A is "arts"). I was at a seminar a while ago and my manager was incandescent with rage that the speaker kept talking about Steam and not Origin until I pointed out that they were talking about S.T.E.A.M and not Steam.

Oh man, Vagrant Story by Squeenix. I played it in my teens, couldn't get it. Played again in my 20s still not clicking. I remember getting to this dragon thing and just failing utterly miserably to do any damage. It had some really counter-intuitive systems in the combat, like chained attacks would get weaker, you'd hit for 30hp on the first strike, then 20, then 10, by the fifth strike you were doing 1hp damage on a creature that had 1000s. It's a shame cos I loved the world and the crafting and what not, but the combat just didn't go in to my brain.

I was being facetious. I don't expect a) planning permission was needed for a structure like that or b) he would give two shits if the local council tore it down.

Hope he got planning permission for that.

We could always invade and stuff? Then you can have two and a bit parties and a royal family?

Google would be paying the card fees. The publisher will get ~7p per app from this.

In other news, Ken Livingstone was last seen hiding in a toilet while the press ask him to clarify his position on Adolf Hitler being a Zionist.

Snicker!

You get to buy a new console and start hoping for those games all over again you lucky lucky Ethan you.

That is so heavy handed. It's like someone made a hand out of a neutron star.

I beated the Bloodborne. It was deeply satisfying.

I'm ready for Monday.
