Body Language

Will Wright birthed SimCity and The Sims. Spore.
And now he's looking to do a project for TV.
It's going to be entitled: Almost Real Life.
It will feature people who will come onto the show and do housework.
And, after they finish enough chores, they'll be able to buy a lamp.
Or an armchair.
Which they can then place wherever they please within the house.
They'll also eat meals.
And occasionally shower. With blurred genitalia.
Like the Japanese.
Then, a tornado will suddenly appear and fuck everything up.
Or a giant tumbleweed.
Sounds like a good fit for Fox.
I found the article on Gameinformer (which is where I find everything).

The corpse physics in Dead Space are pretty atrocious.
If you brush up against something you already plugged, it will jitter around.
Unconvincingly.
However, put those corpses in a vacuum.
And the same dead bodies animate fluidly and convincingly.
I'd even go so far as to say beautifully.
That is, if we're to believe footage from Apollo 13 and The Next Generation.
I know I do.

Here's the least irritating video I could find
(though the player's a bad shot):

  1. The Japanese had a game show where they locked this guy in a room with a bunch of cameras and nothing else. He had to live in that room for a predetermined amount of time and the only things he could have in the room are things he won in contests. The show must have been boring for at least the first 4-6 weeks as he filled out contest forms and waited for the mailman to come by. Actually, it kinda sounds like what I am doing here in Qatar only without all the cameras (Although sometimes I think there are)
