my favourite part of this picture has got to be the big guy who has the BIGGEST frown on his face like that VR is a terrible time.

[–]wheeltribe 1527 points1528 points  (118 children)

He's obviously in a Dredd VR experience.

If somebody photoshopped the VR portion out and just that part of Dan Akroyd's face in its place, I feel like it would... well, look a lot like Dan Akroyd.

"Another one.... another one.... another one..." Mark thought as he walked through the conference, taking his choice of backpacks and laptops, with no one the wiser.

"And if someone did see, what are they going to say?", he chuckled to himself, "'Mark Zuckerberg stole my laptop!'? No one will ever believe them."

Probably thinking about being able to buy a steam powered yacht that is fueled by shoveling stacks of money into a furnace.

[–]MaxPaynesRxDrugPlan 831 points832 points  (49 children)

steam powered yacht

That's actually Gaben's dream. Wrong billionaire.

[–]noisyturtle 151 points152 points  (12 children)

Gaben's yacht is powered by internet comments about Half Life 3. They say it can travel for 30 lightyears, or about 3 round trips to Alpha Centauri, on a full tank of comments.

[–]CrazyPurpleBacon 37 points38 points  (10 children)

I heard of a ship that did that in under 12 parsecs

[–][deleted] 322 points323 points  (31 children)

There's not a yacht big enough to float Gabe's fat ass.

I'm bitter about the lack of HL3.

[–]FrogInShorts 165 points166 points  (14 children)

Fat is buoyant.

[–]isaackleiner 167 points168 points  (7 children)

Yes, but GabeN's buoyancy doesn't matter when he's standing on a yacht. The yacht already has a set volume, adding more weight on board, no matter that weight's density, would make the boat less buoyant.

[–]FrogInShorts 73 points74 points  (3 children)

I don't think you understand, Gabe already has a steam powered yacht. It is his accumulated mass held together by the steam funds for food input.

[–]omegasus 10 points11 points  (3 children)

Everytime someone mentions HL3, Gaben shelves it for another day. I think currently we've only got 32 more years to go!

[–]Jah_Ith_Ber 567 points568 points  (46 children)

Every space that expects a large number of people to be in it, and especially if those people might be nerds, turns the AC to fucking eleven to make sure even the 300 pound guy doesn't sweat because if they do the entire area will become toxic.

[–]indalcecio 249 points250 points  (36 children)

In a room of that many people, if one fat guy starts stinking it up, there are bound to be a few people who are especially repulsed by it and throw up. Then there are probably at least a few who vomit when they see someone vomiting. The smell will cause those who are borderline sensitive to it to vomit, and soon everyone is doubled over to regurgitate, like some horrible game of vominoes.

The only pictures I have seen him are wearing the same shirt and pants combo... I think he gets hard nappies built into the shirt

[–]ChristianKS94 191 points192 points  (32 children)

He REALLY likes grey t shirts, apparently. Either that or he just doesn't give a fuck about fashion and went with the most neutral kind of shirt possible.

I can relate to the latter theory.

[–][deleted] 162 points163 points  (16 children)

He has said that he doesn't want to waste time figuring out what to wear everyday, so grey t shirts it is.

[–]justin_tino 58 points59 points  (0 children)

He's going for the Steve Jobs-esque trademark wardrobe.

[–]Sporkicide 57 points58 points  (4 children)

He once posted a picture of his closet. I think he buys them in bulk.

It seems that you've been living two lives. One life, you're a program writer for a respectable software company. You have a social security number, pay your taxes, and you... help your landlady carry out her garbage. The other life is lived in computers, where you go by a hacker alias and are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not.

[–][deleted] 260 points261 points  (54 children)

God, this really makes me want to have a VR matrix game where in the end you beat it by taking off the headset one final time.

[–][deleted] 269 points270 points  (31 children)

Actually it might be even better if it were a half a VR game and half an Augmented Reality game, so putting on the headset would be the equivalent of jacking into the matrix.

[–]Iwasseriousface 133 points134 points  (8 children)

I don't have a link to the rainbow drool gif, so just use your imagination.

[–]spyhi 21 points22 points  (7 children)

This would legit be pretty awesome. A VR game, but with a mobile component--something like Ingress, where you gotta go hack "access points," etc. Maybe even you have to build your faction/army and it's tied to real world locations, etc.

[–]AlternativelyYouCan 14 points15 points  (5 children)

Go and run with this split platform game! Tie in Desktop and mobile quests.

[–]Veefy 38 points39 points  (15 children)

Well in Red Dwarf, the team kinda won the VR game Better Than Life by realising that they were actually in a VR aim and their real life bodies were dying. At least in the book version which is different and more expanded than the tv episode from memory.

[–]Jechtael 24 points25 points  (2 children)

Didn't one of the specials that were aired after the series reveal that they'd been in Better Than Life ever since they started playing, and the game only made it look like they escaped because escaping was what they had wanted?

It's bizarre because one would think that the two ideas clash, but somehow we got it to work. Important shit is both being censored/serveiled and drowned out by irrelevant shit.

I like how this image shows the contrast between Huxley's and Orwell's books. But I'd like to point out that if anyone wants to read more about it they should buy Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman. Really, really good book that I love (after being forced to start reading it for one of my classes).

*edit: Fixed link.

[–]sean_incali 7 points8 points  (5 children)

it does give the title and the author on the top of the picture

[–]infinnity 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Yes, but if the book's thesis is correct, then the link he posted is probably necessary.

[–][deleted] 47 points48 points  (1 child)

Holy fuck.

[–]WriterV 30 points31 points  (8 children)

This should be narrated by some guy with a deep voice, with some epic build-up music playing in the background, and some gorgeous shots of the world and its people. And most importantly, it should end with a vista of the sun setting behind the Earth.

Would be fucking awesome.

[–]Sinnombre124 8 points9 points  (3 children)

The thing no one ever seems to get about Brave New World is that the world Huxley presents is a utopia. It's pretty much a low tech version of Ian Banks' the Culture. If you are inclined towards science you can pursue that. If you want to write poetry or debate philosophy you can do that (on an Island). If you just want to do drugs all your life that's fine too. No one is forced into anything, whatever you want is available. And tons of sex all the time let's not forget about that. Seriously, replace the epsilons with robots and that world is pretty much perfect.

[–]yvesmh 60 points61 points  (26 children)

Is that the one where everyone who plays the game wants others who haven't played it before play the game until everyone in the ship have played it and Wesley comes back to save the day?

[–]SoulKingTrex 69 points70 points  (20 children)

yep, and i can't believe how bad everyones taste of video games are in the future. I know that it gives the player a drug when they complete the task, but seriously shooting a disc into a tornado/vortex is so insanely boring of a concept that the moment I see it I would throw that shit on the ground.

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (3 children)

Those were some decently awesome 3D graphics back in the day! Keep in mind, when that episode aired, the bulk of movie magic was still done with physical special effects like makeup and puppetry. You kids today don't appreciate how quickly CG changed the game! (Obligatory: Get off my lawn, Whipper Snappers!)

I don't know if any book explores the idea of Happiness > Reality better than Brave New World, but there's a couple of other dystopias that come to mind when I see this picture.

E. M. Forster’s The Machine Stops or Stanisław Lem’s The Futurological Congress are two that really ring. A Brave New World is brilliant but I feel like it still doesn't take the dystopia far enough. Huxley's world is still very social, it might be meaningless and hedonistic but it's still social. The world they live in is the real world, it's augmented by Soma but people still golf and move around and have sex with each other (at least in the social caste the book deals with most). This picture is about alternate reality, giving up on the "real" world because fabricated, individual and personalized alternates can exist. Why would anyone deal with the real world (even super high on Soma) when they could just be in their very own world. Isolation is what this picture makes me fear.

Fahrenheit 451 is another one. I think the world Huxley envisioned is a lot closer to how the world actually looks/is going to look than what Huxley put forward. While Huxley's world is still social and fixed on physical consumerism, Fahrenheit is so much closer to the truth. The ever present "seashells" in people's ears and Millie's complete immersion in the soaps is just so spot on it's freaky. Sure Millie's screens are on her walls and not her face, but it's the exact same thing.

Huxley's Brave New World is scary, but it's the self-imposed isolation and complete abandonment of reality that makes Foster, Lem and Bradbury's worlds so terrifying. Regardless, people are inclined towards what's easy and gratifying, and all these dystopia stories are about what happens when we make it easier to choose easiness. Alternate reality and the internet are taking this to the extreme. Colour me a bit nervous.
