        Hope you're likin it like I am mate, really opening my eyes to how much goes into CGI, proper interesting, makes ya think about stuff. I'm watching it and thinking I just wanna do it, looks so fun subverting reality in artful/unartful ways.

        They even discuss the Tarkin CGI and echo my feelings. I even learned it would've taken longer to create the Tarkin fx were it not for a full-face, still-extant cast of Peter Cushing's bonce.

        Great stuff!

          Forgot how terrible the plane fx were in Air Force One, as well. Saw it at the pictures and it made for a massive disconnect.

                  Guy next to me at work was bemoaning that one of the desk phone ring tones is depressing.

                  I explained to him that it's Suite No.1 in G Major, by Johann Sebastian Bach from his Cello Suites, which are some of the most respected, frequently performed and recognisable solo compositions ever written for cello, although it is believed there were originally composed for a violoncello, which is a small cello, played like a violin.

                  I labelled him a cretin and an uncultured swine.

                  The reality is, I only knew because I recognised it from watching Evangelion and Shinji plays it on his cello!

                      Don't know where else to drop this... Streaming my majorly distracting working from home environment with prog. music.

                      Maybe some dog walks later and Bayonetta gameplay.

                          That's a weird one because some of them are bad, but also, plane crashes do kinda look weird in real life. Ever seen footage of planes crashing in air shows? It doesn't look like you'd expect.

                            It worries me that this is something you regularly look for.

                              Heh, I can see why. I used to be in the Air Cadets as a kid, so I saw loads of random military fighter plane footage, including a few air show crashes (no-one was hurt in any of the ones I've seen). Sounds daft but if you're learning about aircraft it's an important thing to see.

                                I can't simply stand back and push myself through a twenty-third year of graphic design whilst lesser beings are earning tens of thousands of dollars a week playing games badly.

                                Phil Lai challenged me to the stage 5 boss on Gradius V last weekend. First time in fifteen years playing that game. I did it in two lives. There's just something about publicly exhibiting awesomeness like that. I deleted the video afterwards because I was unhappy I didn't 1-life it.

                                I'm already making enough from subs to cover a game purchase each month. WoW Classic next - it's already covered.
