Re: New 2012 Trailer
Did someone say Godzilla?
<span style="font-style: italic">With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down, Godzilla!
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream BUG-EYED as he looks in on them, Godzilla!
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town, Godzilla
Oh no, they say he's got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, they say he's got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah</span>

Everytime I hear that word I am transported back in time to the LTmobile, a VW bus that was co-owned by about 12 platoon commanders that frequented a certain AF Club in Southern Okinawa on karaoeke Friday evenings. Purposefully drunk, they would hog the DJ's time by requesting only two songs over and over...Minnie the Moocher and Rocky-Top Tennesee, until all the couples that came together to sing duets would leave. One evening, on the way back North to the Schwab, they found themselves purposefully inebriated and weaving through the throngs of people leaving a festival on the base for their homes in Okinawa City. A wiseass, riding shotgun, found this song on the radio and, cranking it as loud as it would go, leaned way out the window and pointed toward the distant sky yelling, "Ahhh rook, its Godzirra!" About 1000 heads snapped in that direction to look for themselves, causing spasms of laughter to reverberate through the van, including the driver, who proceeded to crash into a light post, thus ending all wekend liberty on the AF Base for a month.
I LOL'ed a deep and purposeful LOLphter when I read Lindy's comment about 2112. I saw that too on a big screen with a couple of fellas that were doing a bit of 'space truckin'
(Reference) of their own at the time. I thought they were going into shock a couple of times.
Anyway, Dogg, thanks for the link. Please PM me with an email address where I can contact you because what you have discussed here is something that a certain club you once joined is looking for...in terms of making hundreds of images appearing simultaneously appear to be easy to grasp quickly and have sense made of them. Imagine looking at your screen now and the image that appears is every single thing that is moving, or, every single thing that produces heat, or both, within 10 miles of where you are sitting. How would a game developer make this user friendly for someone that, say, grew up with computer games, joysticks, and was between the ages of 18 and 22? Just brainstorming...
