Xbox One Press Conference Thoughts:

Not a fan of the name. Creates confusion and makes it look inferior to the PlayStation 4 to people that don’t know better. Just see the Wii U’s failure as an example of what a confusing name could do.

The specs are on par with the Playstation 4, which is a good thing.

The addition of bluray was a give in, but nice.

Excited for the relationship with the NFL and the fantasy integration.

Annoyed that we didn’t get any gameplay footage. None. Nothing. I know E3 is 19 days away, but fuck. Show something.

Hated that bullshit EA Sports “This is what our games are going to look like” trailer. No way the games are going to look like that. Reminded when they showed this for Madden 2006.

The TV stuff didn’t interest me that much. But I do see value in being able to tell your Xbox “Turn it to HBO.” I can never remember what channels are what.

The Xbox One is NOT backwards compatible. Which is just annoying.

Finally, the one thing that they didn’t announce at that conference that is going to be a dealbreaker.

Xbox One games must be installed to your hard-drive and attached to your Xbox Live gamertag. If you want to use a game disc on a second account (for someone you’re sharing your Xbox with) or if you want to borrow a game from a friend or rent it from somewhere, you’re going to have to pay a fee. Fuck. That.

"Tornado Survivor Finds Hot Dog During TV Interview" would have been a far more hilarious video to watch

now-in-glorious-technicolor:

So many movies are being remade these days, and yet there is one film I have yet to see done that would really benefit from it: Westworld.

The 1973 film has an interesting premise and is executed well enough, but it suffers from poor writing. Specifically poor pacing. The first guest fatality happens 59 minutes into the movie. Which pretty much leaves 29 minutes (minus the credits) of malfunctioning robot action. That 59 minutes does very little setting up and gives us literally no information on our main characters. We just watch them dick around Westworld doing cowboy shit, enjoying the theme park. By the end of the film the only thing I can tell you about either one of our leads is that they’re both from Chicago and Richard Benjamin’s character had recently been “taken for a ride” by a woman. That’s it. I was so unattached to these characters. There was noooo character development.

Also, information is put in that appears important but never really is. “The robots have weird hands!” Okay, cool. I bet that’ll be imperative later. “Lol, nope! Not really.” Oh. Well. Alright.

If the threat was introduced earlier in the film that’d be great. It would lend to a better build to the climax. Maybe drop in bits of info on the characters. And, y’know, let them have an overall arc over the course of the film in which they are changed by the end.

Their new layout to all the sets I worked so hard to organize.

liezlwashere:

With Yahoo acquiring Tumblr, their revamp of Flickr has flown under the radar.

As a long time user. I will say I don’t care for it at all. To go from one or two changes in the past 8 years to this.. well, it’s uncomfortable.

No, it’s not just solely because I have an aversion to change… in fact, I’ve really liked the improved UI to their uploader. Tagging people has become so much easier since it culls through my previous tags. It’s nice to no longer have to guess if Busy’s last name is Phillips or Philipps.

However with this redesign, my front page looks like an awful moodboard or the backend of your tumblrs archive. Previously, my front page was organized with my latest uploads along with sets of photos that people most accessed. Now the only option I have is a choice of cover photo.

I guess I’m no longer the demographic flickr is catering to, since a Pro account has doubled to $50 a year, and the only actual pro’s to having one is no ads and stats on where my photos are being linked to.

How do you guys like it, as people who probably page through my flickr, is this better for you guys?

A Plan For Detroit

Sun, 19 May 2013 12:40:06 -0400

streeter:

Here’s the plan, Detroit. You start a campaign in Williamsburg, Bushwick, Greenpoint, etc. offering 5 years free rent if people will move to the abandoned factories of Detroit.

Show them the tens of thousands of square feet they’ll have for their live/work space. Show them the flat, deserted streets, perfect for fixed-gear bike commuters. Show them the rusted, burnt out shells of cars, completely free for their guerrilla street art collective to make use of.

It will be an adjustment. The old timers won’t like them at first. They’ll complain about the loud music thundering from the old Getty Station-turned-mixed-use-art/music venue. They’ll question the ability of a 25,000 square foot artisnal mustard store to attract enough customers to stay in business. They’ll reminisce about the days the park used to be enjoyed by families instead of a LGBT kickball league.

But things will change.

What was once a depressing Salvation Army Store catering exclusively to shoppers teetering on the edge of homelessness will become the hottest retail opportunity in the neighborhood, selling estate jewelry and mock-fur coats to herds of attractive girls with sleeve tattoos and Warby Parker glasses. The old corner bar, kept in business by a dwindling cliental of leathery drunks, will find new life as 20-something freegans pour in the door every weekend in search of an “authentic Detroit spot.” Even the faded graffiti literring the husks of buildings torched for insurance money will find that it is no longer the scribblings of a futureless urban youth, but rather a valuable cache of urban artwork demanding attention thanks to the efforts of a newly-local Tumblr photoblogger.

Like the ancient Britons left behind when Rome withdrew from the island in 383 AD, the hipsters will seize the ruins of that departed power and lay the foundation for a glorious new city. Londinium is a failure, a ruin, the decaying corpse of a civilization no longer able to sustain itself. But London will rise in its place.

And eventually the locals who stay will find that their neighbor’s moldering 3-family house just sold to an ESTY-rich lesbian couple for $1.1 million. The trash-strewn abandoned lot at the end of the block has become a community garden growing produce to benefit the Kites For Kids program at which a “master kitesmith” teaches local kids the art of DIY box kite construction. Even the mustard store is thriving after the identical twins who own it abandoned the mustard game and turned the space into a high end, indoor farmer’s-and-flea market. The old locals will come to love their vibrant, quirky new neighbors.

You know what you have to do, Detroit. You are a great American city and if you proceed with this plan you will live to see another bright, hopeful morning!

It’d also be nice to thin the herd here in New York. There’s only so many cage-free duck egg purveyors a population can support, ya know?

Librianna, Bitch of the Black Sea

Advertised as “the first X rated movie filmed in Russia ” (maybe some of the stock footage was), Librianna is a nearly forgotten XXX exploitation hybrid. Torture chambers, disfigured goons, secret lairs, a busty blonde sex kitten all the trappings of an Ilsa movie, but replace the violence with XXX fucking and the nastiness with near-painful ineptitude. Any movie with a lengthy disclaimer thanking “the brave men and women who risked so much to aid in the production of this fine film ” and then displays it’s opening title over a shot of a cum leaking pussy is an instant classic in our book.

Playboy: There's a video on YouTube called "Peter Dinklage Gets So Much Pussy" in which two guys talk about how much you've been getting laid since Game of Thrones. They estimate your sexual activity has increased 600 percent in the past few years. Does that sound about right?

Playboy: There's a video on YouTube called "Peter Dinklage Gets So Much Pussy" in which two guys talk about how much you've been getting laid since Game of Thrones. They estimate your sexual activity has increased 600 percent in the past few years. Does that sound about right?

Dinklage: It depends. By "pussy" do they mean actual pussy? Or is it a metaphor, like for gardening? Because if that's the case, then yes, I've been doing a lot of gardening lately. If they mean sex, they might be getting me confused with somebody else. But if pussy means wearing old-man sweaters and watering my herb garden, then absolutely, I'm getting so much pussy.
