It's not jaw-dropping but it's really, really nice looking. It's amazing what they're getting out of the Crytek 2 engine, I can only imagine what they'll do with the upcoming Crysis engine.

The water is beautiful.

Also, what, the 360's only been out for like 3 months and this is what they're doing with it. It's only going to get better.:D

I hope this isn't the real deal...

According to this solution of Einstein's field equation, at 57.7% of the speed of light, relative to us, an object's gravity well will warp to such a degree that, directly in front of the object (relative to it's direction of motion), the gravity well will actually shoot foward as a beam, growing stronger and stronger as the ship accelerates. This can be thought of as an "anti gravity beam" the object can "fall" through. This is only good for up to about 90% light speed, but that's still pretty good. The solar system would all be within reach.

There are all those other nasty relativity consequences to take into account though, as well as how to build something that could use this method. Also others are rechecking this guy's work to make sure the equations do result in this. Assuming Einstein might actually have been right (and we have good evidence to say he was right on a number of things), we're off to Pluto on a quick 15 (I'd guess) hour trip.

As we all know, the eternal sapphic struggle bewteen the world's hottest girls inevitably boils down to this:

Natalie Portman v. Rosamund Pike.


Natalie has the brains, and charms of a next-door neighbor girl--but don't let that perturb you, she's dazzlingly beautiful too! You'll all know her from the dismal Prequels trilogy.

Pike is all-beauty, and has a dignified, up-standing sort of sociable charm. You know her from Die Another Day and the Doom movie.

Discuss who's better!

I'm sure you've all already seen it, and this is old news, but its new to me. If they wanted to make a lame action carriage for the Rock to ride, why did they have to ruin the Doom franchise? They took the most clichéd, lamest, most stereotypical action plot... man, it... just sucked, and I wanted to put in my two cents.

I can hardly believe it's been five years since Rumble City closed its doors. Can't believe I've been running the place this long.

Remember the night of February 15th? All of us were at RC, posting our asses off, saying our goodbyes and waiting to see it go off into the sunset. Not the best of times, but definitely memorable. Then, once everyone else had gone, abstractica and I went and saved all those threads, which I promised would be archived. Five years later, well, heh, no archive. :D

I don't even have the threads right now. They're sitting on a hard drive that lazy currently has. He's going to send it back to me eventually.

Well, this isn't a big thread to just suck my own dick. It's been a fun five years. No, I'm not about to say goodbye, good luck, so long. Just reflecting, is all.

But, as with any big event, I decided to make new stylesets. This time, I made two, in celebration of the upcoming Twilight Princess. You can find them on the selection list below.

As well as it being five years, incidentally, it's also the tenth new design. Thus, I wanted to make it a little more special. So, I made both a bright-colored look (Sunlight Edition) and a dark-colored look (Twilight Edition).

The Standard format is gone. This was partially due to a mistake on my part brought on by curiosity. I didn't realize all this time that you can set the whole board to the classic look via one of the main control panel's switches. Unfortunately, toggling this switch completely rewrites ALL of the templates, wiping out the Standard set. That in itself wasn't a problem as the Standard set was default. However, the Classic view that we had was one I made myself, and I know most people here use it. So, I decided to leave it as it is. I don't really have the time to sit and reprogram the entire template. Sorry. =/

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the new sets. They're a little simpler in appearance than the last two, but I actually changed some things quite a bit.

Good article...
