Weird, definitely...

You should watch some of those Don Hertzfeld animated shorts. Or however you spell that name. Very similar humor.

So find them! And watch them!
Look at these clips, too: http://www.hbo.com/alig/video/ One of them is in Oklahoma*! Woo! *the city council, or something... they're pretty dumb people.

I wish I got HBO so that I could see that show.

You can rent the dvds. Check out the movie!
Did you watch those clips?
6th February 2005, 5:54 PM
Yes, I watched them. I wonder if those people knew that he was just an actor...

Right, the Oklahoma City Council played along with Ali G and wanted to make themselves look stupid. ;)
22nd February 2005, 7:53 AM
I was wondering whether they really knew that he was just an actor, some of things he was saying were really crazy.
What channel does that show come on anyway? Likely one that I don't get.

Why are you bringing back so many dead threads?
22nd February 2005, 12:19 PM
Considering that he made those city councilmen look like fools I'm pretty sure they didn't know about it. I don't think they'd purposely make themselves look so dumb. It's on HBO, btw.

In effect making it not my fault if no ones posts. So let's start up the discussions!!! Quote:It's on HBO, btw. I don't get HBO, so I won't be able to see it anytime soon.

Yeah I don't get it either, which is why I rent the dvds.

It's The Mask 2: Son of the Mask. Good Lord, does that movie look stupid.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
24th February 2005, 1:38 AM
Correct! In both in answering correctly and recognizing that Son of the Mask is a really bad movie ! Why did they feel they need to add the mythic god Loki into the movie? He is the good of Flame and Mischeif not the god of embeciles!
The studio wont be making much profit given its poor box office sales and the fact it costed them 100 million bucks to make ,Most be all those unecessary special effects! Since GR guess it right he can do the next one .
24th February 2005, 7:48 AM
Even more incredible is the fact that it managed to beat out You Got Served as the 9th worst movie ever at IMDB!
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
24th February 2005, 9:28 AM
I have no desire to see that movie. I saw the original actually... I think we all did...
...wait, I though Loki was imprisoned IN the mask... Why would he be trying to get his prison back? No, don't think about it... ...Ya know I watched the animated series...

I think I watched the animated series too...once...

I probably saw the cartoon once, or twice (or at least parts of episodes), yeah... haven't seen the movies though and I don't remember the cartoon being all that good. :)

High res VR goggles with stereoscopic vision are still around 800 bucks but man are they awesome. You can get a box that basically splits a single image in to two slightly different images and then send it in to the goggles. The result is a 3-D image but it cant calculate when something is really far away or right up next to you, it simply adds layers of background and foreground but it's still neat.
With the DS you could send two completely different images, like the same image but at slightly different angles just like our real eyes see. Combine them and you get true 3-D. Can you imagine a portable version of 3-D Perfect Dark with VR goggles and a wireless bluetooth analoge gun? *masturbates*

Honestly lazy I never said that having two GPUs was a bad idea. I only said that having two physical screens does nothing for gameplay and was only done due to cost and the need to fold the system up.
I have a Virtual Boy... It can do the same thing but doesn't use two GPUs. It renders the two different images using the single 32-bit RISK it has. This CAN be done without two different processors, but yes, two does make it easier and is the better solution in many cases. The thing is, when doing that all it need do is render the world twice, from two different viewpoints. Oh and, one last thing. The two processors, well one's weaker than the other. I don't think they could use that to render two different viewpoints of a 3D scene like you suggest... I mean, they could do that but the more powerful one would have to render both at once... Oh and, the second you strap a helmet on your head covering your eyes, in public, you will be KILLED.

That's true, the two processors are not equal.
14th March 2005, 3:50 PM
One is essentially the GBA one, so yes, they can't both do the same quality of graphics... but you could have cruder 3D one one. I also seem to remember hearing that if you really wanted you could split it with something like half of each screen being controlled by each processor...
14th March 2005, 4:09 PM
Supposedly you can only have 3D on one screen at a time. Maybe there's some way around that, but I haven't seen it so far.

There are always ways around those things...
14th March 2005, 5:29 PM
As I said, there IS one example of them having 3D on both screens at once. Play Mario 64 DS and try some of the Mario mini-games. Specifically, the ones with Marios flying all over both screens. I examined it closely and the Marios are in 3D on both top and bottom, and it's easy to get a few on top and a few on bottom. The backgrounds are all 2D, but Mario IS being rendered in 3D the same way on top and bottom. So, it may be limited due to the amount of area the screen shows, and they may want to get a highly detailed but smaller image most of the time (and generally that's what they have been doing) but 3D IS possible on both screens at once.

That's not quite the same as what lazy was talking about though...
