That car shows off what Blender is capable of, doesn't it?

Harvai: one series actually, with a bit of creative licence :P

mdhay: not really, blender's capable of MUCH more, I haven't even scratched the surface in terms of potential

I meant that your car shows which directions CAD can be taken in, and how detailed models can get.

omega329

It's not that detailed, (well I don't think it is, apart from the grill, which took a long time to do)
The front's the only decent part XD

Guillaume, are you in London right now? Cause I'll be there from Sunday to Tuesday... :)

Oh, and Star Trek's still the same nice kind of childish BS it's been 40 years ago. ;) Great action/actors, stupid dialogs/logic - alright, I guess.

Already back to France I'm afraid :(
But the convention is just two weeks from now, can't wait for these lil' holidays! :g

Does anyone know if a PSP-1000 imported from Japan (bought a few months after the PSP launch) is worth anything now? I'd like to have a slim one instead, but for the use I'd make of it, I'm not willing to spend many bucks...

If it's in good working conditions, it will interest loads of people (homebrew programs, mods, etc). I wouldn't be surprised if you got more than 100$ for it. Myself I would recommend you keep it, it's very precious for reasons you probably don't know/don't care about, but it is very precious.

Thanks Darkdrium for the answer, and blackwiggle, I had forgotten about this "thing". :)
mdhay, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to decline your kind offer. ;)
Not enough time to deal with this before the convention, so I'll give it more thought afterwards. Anyone from the zone interested, feel free to send a PM.

2] Sea Cucumber -Tastes very much like Palmolive soap if you have ever manged to taste that.revolting

This is food especially popular in the Asian world ... the 100 year egg is a almost daily ingredient in the nutrition of an average Shanghai person. Cause porridge (yeah overcooked rice) has no real taste itself different ingredients are mixed into it, 100 year egg is one of the most popular one, but seeing a translucent egg the first time is a fascinating experience :) Btw, this stuff is supposed to be eaten for breakfast.

As for the Sea Cucumber, every foreigner coming to this country should be warned!! It's really revolting , you can actually feel contractions of your digestive apparatus following the pieces you just eat through your body. Well it's kinda the 'near death experience' of cuisine. *running to toilet* ...

So totally random topic: What is that f"*çing Island in 'Lost' all about?? Theories please!

There's too many adverts there; I'll stick to my Uncyclopedia (Name sounds funnier:D).

Hmm, I was expecting a reaction more along the lines of "OH GOOD GOD! IT'S A DISTILLED /B/!"

To be honest, on the rare occasions I have been on /b/ it hasn't been as bad as it's cracked up to be, once you get past the fact that the jokes are usually racist in some way, the people on there are actually quite sharp and quick witted... (once you take the standpoint that it's all a big joke, and no harm is meant... allthough that may not be the case...)
23rd April 2009, 05:13 PM
mdhay

But you wouldn't get that, since I don't know the meaning of /b/.

But, to humour you:

OH GOOD GOD! IT'S A DISTILLED /B/!

:D
23rd April 2009, 05:34 PM

/b/ = Bad.

I've been there a few times, it's basically a spam hole.

But some articles on ED are awesome

(And I recommend you don't click on Awesome.jpg at the top. Don't say I didn't warn you. This is serious, as you cannot unsee after. :nod)

Meme collection, troll collection, idiots collection, everything is on ED. ;)

Contrary to popular belief, /b/ was actually pretty good once upon a time. Full of lulz and random ****. Now it's just a hole full of spam and camwhores.

where did the awesome go then? 7chan? 420chan?

We should totally make a Wipeout Uncyclopedia article.

You're right. /b/ was never good. And it seems the awesome just left. They tried to get it back with /r9k/ but failed pretty damn hard. And I think 7chan's dead, too

I'd like to see a wipeout article as well, Shoudn't be too hard, should it?
