This is the fastest maximum clearance in history. 5 minutes 20 seconds. This is the level some can get to.
Note the control of the cue ball, it's crazy.
Any televised, competition 147 is a big deal, you win bonus money (it was often £147,000 just for a maximum clearance), but to do it in this time is insane.
Indeed, that was absolute magic.
That's awesome. The way he broke up that group of reds after pocketing the black...damn.
Pepsi Max is the best soda. Is Diet Pepsi the same thing? Is it a weird american/european thing?
Pepsi in all of its iterations is disgusting. Coke Zero is the way to go. Or Dr. Pepper when I want sugar. Too bad there are no diet Dr. Peppers sold in the stores here, otherwise I assume it would be my cola of choice.
The Talos Principle definitely entered my list of favorite games when I played it. Not because of the religious undertones (never been religious myself), but because of the way it made me think. The atmosphere in that game is just great - I loved all the emails and random story bits on the computers. And those audio logs from that lady really managed to hit me - they made me imagine how I'd feel and what I'd think in her situation. What would I do? And the last message on the tower actually made me cry for this fictional woman who I only knew through some recorded voice lines.
And aside from all that, I love puzzle games and the puzzles were very entertaining. I still mean to play through the game again, to refresh my memory, so I can play through the DLC as well.
I did enjoy The Witness a whole bunch - I loved hearing those quotations being read by good voice actors. But because that game didn't really have a plot as far as I'm concerned, I enjoyed Talos way more.
Yeah, not a huge fan of Dan's "pranks". Sure it wasn't all his fault, since websites were running it without any regard to source credibility - but all pranks are distasteful in my opinion. Sure it can be funny, but I definitely find it unpleasant when the laughs are at an expense of someone else.
Always hated the various 'funniest home-videos' shows and stuff like Jackass.
I think this would be a move towards the ideal path. My hope for the future is that consoles will just be another word for a PC and that they'll be competing with the Steam machines and whoever else wants to enter that battle.
Back when I was younger, I liked fiddling around with PCs. Bought all the components and built them myself. Upgraded my video cards when necessary and etc. These days, I'm way too lazy - I want things to be convenient. Which is why I own a PS4. However, that isn't really ideal - consoles just lack the horsepower compared to PCs and as such, often offer sub-par experience.
The utopia I want to live in, is where we have pre-made PCs, so to speak, from Sony, Microsoft, Steam and etc. They'll have their version numbers, so you'll know that Game A will run on Steam machine 2.0 and newer hardware - the game could offer settings for each version type, so that if you're running Steam 3.0, then use these graphical settings etc. This would decrease the amount of testing and issues that we have currently in the PC market, with there being thousands of different system combinations - making it nigh impossible to optimize properly.
However, I don't want to be buying a full system every year. The machines should be modular, so that if you currently have Steam 2.0 and want 3.0 - all you need to buy is the GPU module and switch that out.
I'd settle for modular PC designs though. Especially when it comes to CPU and motherboards. Replacing the GPU or adding some RAM is easy and it's something I've done fairly recently still. But the upgrade always halts when it's time to get a new CPU - usually at that point, I just end up buying a whole new machine. I'd love to be able to just plug-and-play that shit - pull out the motherboard block and the CPU block and stick in new ones.
