    Galactica: General Discussion

    Going back to the Vive being used. The Lighthouse transmitters use infrared in a similar way to the XBox Kinect, which basically means they can't be used outside because they would get way to much interference from sunlight. I know someone that uses the Kinect to scan people into a computer to...

    Kärnan: how does it work?

    That makes sense and is a lot simpler than the idea we came up with.

    Kärnan: how does it work?

    That was my second guess.

    Kärnan: how does it work?

    Panda and I were on Kärnan today and we've been trying to figure out how the lift hill worked. My guess is that the chain lift takes you up and once at the top there's a lock that holds you while the chain retracts so you can drop. Then at the bottom the chain moves back into place to take you...

    The I Feel Happy Topic!

    I've just had an email through from one of my favourite YouTube Channels "Rooster Teeth", one of the channels that inspired me to get into filmmaking/animation. I've been accepted to be part of their production crew at their even at the Excel Centre in London "RTX". Only downside is I have to...

    TST Film Review Thread

    Resident Evil: The Final Chapter: So I've said before that zombies is one of my favourite genres of films, and as Resident Evil falls into that genre (very loosely) I thought I would give it a watch... Ho...ly... shit was this film absolutely abysmal... I'm not just talking as a zombie film...

    The most unforgivable thing...

    When I was younger, I wanted to go on Corkscrew as my first "big" rollercoaster. They went and crushed that dream.... So I went on G-Force instead.

    The I Feel Happy Topic!

    I'd recommend going to uni to anyone. Yeah sure it's a bit expensive, but I agree with you, one of the best things to ever happen to me. For a few years before Uni I was in a bit of a bad place because of some events that happened during my time at college and at the end of college I thought I...

    What GOOD things happened to you in 2016?

    2016 was pretty 'meh' for me... Nothing amazing really happened but at the same time nothing bad happened. My highlight though would be me, my Dad and my Brother forming a band to play at my Sister's wedding. played a few songs, second time singing in front of people, don't plan on doing it...

    The Last of Us Part 2

    The Last of Us was the game that made me go 'I want to make games for a living' and spent some time learning to code. I even bought the concept art book for it. Its a masterpiece of a game!

    The Last of Us Part 2

    They just announced The Last of Us Part 2 at PSX. Announcement Trailer I can not wait for this! The Last of Us is one of the two games I would give a perfect 10/10 for.

    Hope they build it next to the Think Tank. Then I could leave my boring lectures and go play with Lego instead!

    Planet Coaster: new Frontier game

    This is my park, Pirate's Cove, so far. I'm planning at some point to have a rapids in the park so that I can call it 'Pirates of the Pancreas'. This is the first roller coaster 'The Leviathan'. A majority of the rides will be named after songs by the band 'Alestorm'.

    Planet Coaster: new Frontier game

    First off, DO NOT GET RCTW! Its a broken, uncompleted, un-optimised pile of crap that Atari rushed to get out the day before Planet Coaster because they wanted to make money off of poor suckers that would buy it without doing the research. Now with that said: If you are more of a fan of Roller...

    Planet Coaster: new Frontier game

    I love this game already. My only gripe with it is the path system. Trying to get my park entrance to look like how I want it is really frustrating because I can't get the path to link up properly. I finally managed to get it sorted but that and the lack of auto-tunnelling on paths is just a bit...

    More Staff Redundancies Ahead of 2017 Season

    One thing I'm wondering about is if they cut back on staff and then next year numbers start to increase dramatically (could happen) and the park still manages to operate in a somewhat "reasonable" state. Are Merlin then going to re-hire more staff? Because although the park will need the extra...
