    The Scale of the Universe

    I know people who are doing things that are more closely related (epoch of reionisation, etc) but me personally? Not quite so much. More to do with cosmic rays. All that cosmological stuff will be covered in a course I am doing next semester (Advanced Astrophysics). There was a bit on it in...

    The Scale of the Universe

    Yeah, that level of cosmology (receeding faster than the speed of light) is where even I start scratching my head. Blame Einstein, really. Ask me again in about 4 months time and I'll probably be able to give you a decent answer.

    Astronomy question (prompted from playing Mass Effect)

    A new challenger approaches! *Read Dan's quite logical post* Doesn't quite work that way, I am afraid: the most stable configuration two astronomical bodies can possess is essentially what you would call 'tidally locked' - when the two faces of the bodies are constantly facing each other. Our...

    Are kids really playing too many violent games?

    There are plenty of decent games out there other than COD and GTA that would be so more effective for these kids, from Super Mario Galaxy and Portal all the way to Mass Effect and Half-Life - more 'sensible' games with some merit other than killing sprees that might just spark their imagination...

    Portal 2 Gameplay With New Paint Mechanics

    "Looking through weapons" sounds like a retarded duck. A little change is welcome now and again.

    Surprise! Portal 2 Coming to Playstation 3

    Everyone here already owns a PC, as evidenced by us typing. For the vast majority, this news means nothing. However, for our friends who use a PS3 and little else (I was surprised to find out this was the case with many of my friends) this news is huge. It's a question of who is posting, and I...

    E3

    Ok, they have done the interview with 1up. 1up however don't have the portal 2 footage and don't know what the surprise is, they will get that tomorrow morning. Supposedly Doug has it on usb in his hotel room or something. For future proof: Doug wears a black and grey horizontally striped shirt...

    E3

    Can't be sure, but I think Doug Lombardi is being filmed right now: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/1up-live-at-e3 There should be some portal video from them some time tonight. EDIT: Yep, heard Gabe's voice in the background say Portal. They are talking about sending physics and paint through...

    Portal 2 delayed, E3 Surprise "Portal 2 Themed"

    Well, that pretty much seals it. This should be good.

    Portal 2 delayed, E3 Surprise "Portal 2 Themed"

    Fair enough. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

    Portal 2 delayed, E3 Surprise "Portal 2 Themed"

    That's the time of the Ubisoft conference. I highly doubt they would premiere it during that.

    Portal 2 delayed, E3 Surprise "Portal 2 Themed"

    Wasn't any Valve stuff at the EA conference, will probably have to wait until news from their booth comes in about 16 hours time or so.

    Portal 2 Event at E3 Cancelled – Replaced by…’Surprise’

    Whoa there sonny, read a bit ahead before you say things like that. The article clarifies that the ORIGINAL EVENT AT THE REGAL THEATRE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY CANCELLED, NOT THE NEW EVENT WITHIN THE VALVE BOOTH AT E3. You may all breathe easy now, no need to be frightened. They sent the email out...

    'Valve Corporation'

    Don't worry, you'll get that very soon. Possibly as little as 7 hours in fact.

    Crysis 2

    Physics, really. Either the suit would weigh a metric shit-tonne or it would have gigantic spikes shooting out of your feet to anchor you. Neither enhances mobility.
