It's a documentary about these feuding Irish families who just beat the hell out of each other in bare knuckle contests for generation after generation for reasons they can barely remember.
It is even more awesome than it sounds.

Man, moving desks highlighted just how much crap I've accumulated over the past few years at this place.
three spare PC's, a KVM switch, about seven keyboards, oddles of cables, power strips in the worlds least useful daisy chain... I think I have a problem,
Okay, go to vertebrate embryology to watch the cool but not on the test human development video, or skip that class to study for my lab exam later today?

This is like waving a wine box around in front of an alcoholic.

But really, I wasn't really looking for suggestions. The hassle is more that I have used this nick for a few years now it so feels weird to just change it. Even if it is stupid

No, even alcoholics have standards.
I can't tell if you are condemning tribes, wineboxes, or me with this statement.

I tried the demo for Sniper Elite V2 last night. I like the sniping parts, don't like the sneaking parts. A modern, good, sniper fps would be cool, but most of the sniper games are total shite.

First Person Sniping.
20 minutes of tense silence, then a soft *crack* noise from far away, screen goes red, and a message "YOU HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED".
Why would Steve Carrell ever go back? He's a real movie star now and has been for a while.
Not a very good one mind you. But a movie star none the less.
In fact lets have some real talk. His only good movies are 40 Year Old Virgin (Heretofore known as Elendil: the Movie) and Anchorman
I'm going to argue that he was awful in Anchorman. Like just... just really bad, by comedic standards; sure he made greek life and teenagers everywhere forever tattoo the phrase "I Love Lamp" onto their collective lower backs, but is that truly indicative of a good performance? The only parts I thought were comedically valid were the grenade scene and his intro.

logically there would be a progression to the maximum number of fps so your brain is having to do zero interpolation and everything is fluid and real
i dont think those guys realise how hard it makes looking at fast moving things in a film at 24 fps
I tried the demo for Sniper Elite V2 last night. I like the sniping parts, don't like the sneaking parts. A modern, good, sniper fps would be cool, but most of the sniper games are total shite.
I'm going to refuse to research this game or even look at screenshots before posting. This will be awesome. Questions abound:
- Isn't sniping pretty much standard fare for an FPS these days?
- So this is just more "snipery" than games that already have a sniping component?
- Assuming that means you have to adjust for wind, and you hear Marky Mark's voice after a successful headshot.
- Somebody put the word "elite" in the title, which means the game is probably meant for teenagers who put windows and neon lights in their rigs. Or else got banned from their favorite TF2 server for aimbotting and need a far more single-player experience to work out some aggression before dinner. Mom's making meatloaf again.
- I bet it sucks due to all of the above.

I like both high quality so-beautiful-you-feel-bad-drinking-it wine, and boxed wine. They both have their ... uses
There is literally nothing wrong with the quality of a great many boxed wines, just as there is nothing wrong with the quality of wines that use alternative stoppers other than cork, like plastics and screw-tops. It varies regardless of packaging materials. Public perception is really skewed on this one.
I'm saying this as a longtime wine drinker who knows his palate and would like to kick the concept of wine snobbery right in the dick if that were possible.

Sniping components of games like Call of Duty are not exactly what I had in mind. Like, the sniping mission in Modern Warfare culminated in a shot with no bullet drop and an inability to compensate for wind. Basically, the only way to successfully complete the mission was to wait for no wind and put your crosshairs directly on a target a mile or more away and watch as the bullet traveled on a line straight trajectory.
I do a lot of long range precision shooting and would like a sniping game in which you have to deal with wind, bullet drop, etc. Sniper Elite does this.
Also, something interesting my friend and I discovered while filming some of stuff out on my uncle's farm - at 400 yards, the camera could not pick up the crack of the rifle (We set up a camera looking at the targets out in the field). The only sound was the *piff* as the bullet struck the paper or the *thunk* when it hit the watermelons we occasionally set up as targets.

On the subject of wine snobbery:
On spring break I went to a vineyard for some wine tasting with my dad, and while we were there the owner was coming around and doing his "make you feel special and exclusive" bit. He told us a bunch about how the vineyard was really green and a bunch of different recycling and self-sufficiency things they were doing and that was all good and what-not and then he mentioned that they used "homeopathic techniques" and I had to hold my breath for the rest of the spiel. This got hard when he was talking directly to me about how the youth these days are more interested in wine than back in the day.

Hey now, I have blue neon fans in both my gaming rigs. All the blue neon, damnit. My shit glows like whoa.

winky its probably not
its probably different for different people and different for different types of visual analysis
for example, your brain interpolates moving object position already just using your eyes, so theres an argument for just going as high as possible to make it so the only interpolation happening is the neural stuff
also no serious wine drinker thinks that screwtop wines are all shit unless theyre mega pretentious nerdlords

Little Miss Sunshine was fantastic, and got a pretty wide release if I remember so I don't know that I'd call it indie.
