MUST SEE: IllumiRoom Will Turn Your Entire Room Into A Gaming Experience

 

Microsoft: IllumiRoom uses a Kinect for Windows camera and a projector to blur the lines between on-screen content and the environment we live in allowing us to combine our virtual and physical worlds. For example, our system can change the appearance of the room, induce apparent motion, extend the field of view, and enable entirely new game experiences. Our system uses the appearance and the geometry of the room (captured by Kinect) to adapt the projected visuals in real-time without any need to custom pre-process the graphics. What you see in the videos below has been captured live and is not the result of any special effects added in post production.

 

Holy shit what a day on as what my dad calls the Interweb! Digital ice cubes that tell you when you’re too drunk, old granny pop lock and droppin at Walmart, and now this. As I’ve stated in the past I’m not a gamer but I just might have to get back into it. Dim the lights, hit the bowl, and press play! I might even throw the game on demo mode and sit back and watch. If gamers didn’t leave their houses before, they sure as fuck aren’t now!

Is This Not The Sickest Boat Trailer You’ve Ever Seen?

 

OK, put Michael J. Fox filming aside for a second, is this not one of the most ridiculous trailers you’ve ever seen? Fuck the Hess Truck, get me this thing for Christmas! When I saw the beginning of this video I was like why is this dude backing his half truck, half boat into the water. Then I watched the truck give birth to that boat and my jaw dropped. Thing I don’t get is how you go through all the trouble of having such a sick trailer and then have such a shitty boat. Throw a cigarette boat on the back of that bitch and we’re in business!

Canadian Sinkhole Swallows Land Under Train Tracks

 

Sink holes have to be by far one of the scariest natural disasters. I mean one second you’re standing in your house and the next you’re falling into a massive hole in the ground. Just horrifying. The worst part is that you don’t know how deep or how big the hole is so just like this guy, you could be watching it and all the sudden become part of it. Here’s my personal list of the scariest disasters:

1. Tornado at nighttime  (F1? F5? Who knows cause you can’t see the goddamn thing! All you can do is listen and hope it doesn’t toss your ass into the neighboring state)

2. Tsunami (The warning systems for these things is less than 5 minutes. Not enough time for me to get down from my 11th floor NYC building and out of Manhattan. I’m fucked.)

3. Tidal Wave (All I think of when I hear tidal wave is that scene from Deep Impact when that massive wall of water is rushing toward the coastline. There’s nothing you can do if that really happened. You’re dead)

4. Sinkhole (No warning systems for these and if you’re lucky enough to experience one, hopefully you don’t fall into the middle of the Earth)

5. Landslide/Avalanche (Hear that rumbling noise? Feel everything shaking? Nope, not an earthquake. That’s half a mountain on it’s way to your front door to bury you alive. Maybe you’ll get rescued…if you don’t suffocate before then.)
