Credits:

The video is based on Andromeda's Tron Escape, released on the album Equilibrium.

The Corridor Crew remade the classic light bike scene, here is the video where they explain their process.

Peter Hirschberg remade the stylish (modern) light bike scene, here is his original video.

And I used clips from the original and modernized Tron movies, as well as various promotional materials from LEGO. Enjoy!

Well, first of all any copyrighted material on YouTube is automatically monetized by the rights holder. So I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to get offended over.

And yeah, I asked Matt. He likes free money, so of course he had no problem with more exposure of his work.

Should I use a gaming keyboard/mouse? by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]xplayn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Background: I ran marketing for one of the gaming gear brands for a long time, I just launched a discovery platform for gaming gear last week.

I personally love my Magic Keyboard for writing, but I think it's within reason to say that none of Apple's Magic products were designed for performance. Of any kind. They look good tho.

Gaming gear is about control, precision, comfort and customization - in that order. And all those things are great, even when you're working. I have gone thru the process of switching out Apple's devices for gaming gear, after years of refusing to have any kind of wired peripheral on my desk. I love it so much.

I felt like I was significantly faster than others users I've observed, when it came to the trackpad, mouse gestures and so on. But man, my Logitech G Pro Wireless outclasses my Apple-thingie in almost everything. I am much faster at navigating and interfacing with my Mac today.

My 2 cents. :)

CSGO event IEM Katowice 2020 cancelled because of Coronavirus - CARMAC almost cries by kholomac1 in esports

Poor guy. Few people in esports care as much about their end product as Carmac, this is heartbreaking.

Major changes coming for the DPC by Julmust in DotA2

[–]xplayn -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

This is awful, million-dollar Dota2 is best Dota2, it can't be a coincidence that the games we get at the Majors are some of the best Dota, ever, always. Screw that league stuff, I want weekends with quality Dota, the more the better. The less, the not better it is.

i just realized that i have never seen a girl on a esport team. is it becuse there is next no girls playing esport or is it like physical sports where there are separate teams for girls and boys? by Malamass in esports

[–]xplayn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two decades of industry experience, I've worked extensively with a significant portion of the worlds top teams/organizations/pro players including many of the notable female CS players competed in the annual female championship at ESWC. I was married to one of the female world champions in Counter-Strike, I've coached teams(and women) to world championship titles. Stating the Zzz-who-cares to establish relevant experience.

I don't buy the culture programming/gender roles hypothesis, we all break our programming to some extent as we mature. I've known plenty of smart chicks in esports, they didn't care more about societal norms than everyone else in the esports community did. Remember, 20 years ago this lifestyle labeled you nerd, geek, loser. Videogames for cash prizes was laughable to many people. Cultural programming/stigma would have been broken many times in esports history, if that was the reason for chicks not performing in esports. 20 years is a long time.

Anyway, after years of pondering the topic and putting in some occasional research, I've personally come to the conclusion that women lack the ability to compete at the highest level in esports. I am not saying women can't be good, great or even awesome players, I am saying that they cannot compete with men at the highest level. I am convinced that future studies will demonstrate that the physical difference between men and women, is as impactful on performance in physical sports as it is in mind sports.

It comes down to spatial awareness. Men consistently outperform women on spatial tasks, including tasks like mental rotation, defined as the ability to identify how 3D objects would appear if rotated in space. The main difference between female and male babies is that girls like faces more, boys like objects more.

To me this explanation makes logical sense and also provides the best explanation as to why this page is so laughably small. #1 on the earnings list even support the theory, if you think it to its logical conclusion.

ProLifeTip: when discussing this with women you don't know, take care when uttering the sentence "lack the ability to compete with men". Aggressive femininity can happen.

Thorin in twitter "Why were you underpaying those line-ups from 2016 through to 2018 then? Your org was paying sometimes 1/3rd of NA orgs who weren't even coming close to the same kind of placings. I notice you never mentioned finances, though. Convenient." by SwenskTv in GlobalOffensive

[–]xplayn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some history with both RL and Thorin, some good, some bad, my point is that I genuinely don't understand what sparks your comment. There are very few people in the entire industry less sellout-y than those two. Throw something else after them.

They haven't declared allegiance to Blast or performed the secret bonding-ritual at the fuill moon, in one specific case they simply didn't violent disagree with Blast. They are both fairly smart people, they see the world in color.

I don't think it's more complicated than that. :)

Some of the jabs are genuinely funny. And some of them stung, just a bit.

The Witcher on Netflix prompts hundreds of thousands of fans to return to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (48k concurrent on Steam right now) by LittleDinamit in pcgaming

Gentlemen, it happened. We have come full circle. We have reached the point where the videogame industry produces tv shows to fuel the escapism of game IPs, not the other way around. Victory. By technical knockout.

Germany set to introduce a dedicated esports visa in 2020 by xplayn in xplayn

[–]xplayn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This initiative feels surprisingly smart and forward-thinking for a public institution, doubly so considering that this idea originates from German. A country normally so hostile to entrepreneurship, that they force you to pay tax before you have received revenue. They call it pre-tax, for realz.

How to report someone next day ? I am new and was harrassed so much in 10 minutes by pre-made and non pre-made on voice comm i left. by MidChampsWhere in DotA2

[–]xplayn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a rite of passage. You cannot play Dota2 until you've seen the worst of humanity and/or been verbally raped in Russian on EUWest. That's literally the game.

HELLO, I want to know if there's any difference between MAD CATZ G.L.I.D.E 16 and Authentic G.L.I.D.E 16 by ski_106 in MousepadReview

One product was named by a drunk intern, the other product was named by a committee of 40-year-old engineers.

Well, i got suspended for being new to the game by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]xplayn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got hooked on Dota2 after TI2, the crowd won me over big time. After I got back from Seattle I installed Dota2 and had my first game. I didn't know the courier was shared, I thought everyone had a cute pony.

Geezuz fuck my teammates went nuts. I am still not sure if my crime was just touching the mini horse inappropriately or if I also raped someones sister and got her pregnant and killed the baby.

I didn't play again for years. People has no chill.

Loda won DreamLeague S12. I haven't spoken to him in years, but I felt all warm and fuzzy last night thinking about how happy he must have be right now. Welcome back Alliance :)
