"Stephane Bouley wondered what Monty Python and the Holy Grail might look like if it were released today…and maybe appeared on HBO or produced by Jerry Bruckheimer." This totally looks like a preview you'd see on HBO! LOL |

I'm a little late to the party, as I should have posted this yesterday afternoon rather than tonight, but I'll share it anyway: Steam is having a weekend sale (going until Monday morning) on two great games I've actually spoken about here, Rogue Legacy (which I wrote about here) is on sale for $8.99 (which is 40% off its usual $14.99 price tag), and Tomb Raider (which I wrote about here) is on sale for $12.49 (which is a whopping 75% off its usual $49.99 price tag).
Just thought I'd throw that out there since they're both great. |

Hmm... How did I miss this thread before? No matter, I am subscribed now.
Enjoying the posts! Somewhere between semi-nerd/geek and raging nerd/geek, stand I. *curtsies and exits* |

I like everything at least a little bit. I don't sci/fi so much though. |
awww....geek love!

http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/1919.../ku-bigpic.jpg The latest science news out of Harvard and MIT sounds like a joke, but it's not. A team of physicists were fooling around with photons when they managed to get the particles to clump together to form a molecule, one that's unlike any other matter. And it behaves, they say, just like a lightsaber.Scientists Created a New Form of Matter and It's Like a Lightsaber That's right. Lasers were used to discover a new form of matter that's straight out of a Star Wars film. Credit for the experiment goes to Harvard physics professor Mikhail Lukin and MIT physics professor Vladan Vuletic, who blasted photons through a cloud of rubidium atoms. When they sent more than one photon at once, they noticed that the particles clung to each other to form a molecule. "It's not an in-apt analogy to compare this to lightsabers," said Lukin (Skywalker?) in a press release. "When these photons interact with each other, they're pushing against and deflect each other. The physics of what's happening in these molecules is similar to what we see in the movies." In fact, what the scientists were witnessing is known as the Rydberg blockade. This rule states that atoms neighboring an atom that's been excited—say, by a passing photon—cannot be excited to the same degree as the initial atom. When multiple photons pass through a cloud of atoms, this creates a push-pull force between them, which is what binds the resultant molecule. |
For literary geeks!
Apparently, they don't want any would-be knights tilting at their windmill....

Need some fellow Geek info!
I need a video converter that will take many different forms of digital media (mp3, mp4, avi, mkv, etc) and convert it to a usable format that is playable on a DVD player. (not Blu-ray as the person Im doing this for isn't up to date yet!) I have found a few programs but they wont play on the DVD player even after converting them. Ideas? I have a Mac OSX 10.8.3 and need it to work with my machine. It can be free or paid as long as it's easy to use and puts out quality videos. Ideas!?? |
Medusa - what did you use the first time? And what happened when you tried to play it? You might look into Handbrake for transcoding the video, and/or iDVD itself for transcoding and burning. There's also Roxio Toast.

I used DVDFab the first time and it seemed to work. Would play everywhere (my PS3, Blu-Ray, and both Mac and PC) except for the DVD player. I figured it was something to do with the format but have been frustrated trying to see what format it wants!! I've tried them all!! I'll check out Roxio and iDVD! Thank you! |
What model is the DVD player?
|
This is like some kind of geeky dream toy...AND it's reasonable...

Anything you transcode to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 should be fine. And even dropping in an AVI should transcode it to MPEG. If you aren't already doing this, you want to burn it as DVD Video and not just as a folder of files (even though that should also work).

Hey fellow geeks and nerds, I heard a rumor that Matt Smith (11th Doctor) was cast as Patrick Bateman in a stage production of American Psycho. Anyone else heard this? Any thoughts?
In other Whovian news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24448063 I might have had a minor freak-out when I read that earlier. |

Interesting to see Nerdapalooza out here in my area! Anyone ever been?
Ok back to dvd's, dvr's and roxios. So I would like something like a dvr but don't want to go the route of getting it through a cable/sat company. Instead, purchase one myself. So if I have cable what can I buy that will enable me to record my shows and games and save them to watch at a later time. Is there something? |
