wtf at new ipoker table layout?


urrrrrrrrgh!

Might be just PP. I don't notice any changes on Boyles.

Save the guy. God put you there to save him and if he wants the 2 kids saved, he'll kill someone else.

And another actual genuine reasoning IMO for saving the guy is: the kidney's being a match for both kids is unlikely.

There's much better Ethical Dilemna's out there than that one, but I can't remember them, something to do with a train track and switches and a fat guy on a bridge. I'm sure they're easily googleable and IIRC they were discussed in the BBV before either here or on boards.

Drag the man into the woods and leave him there, thus saving no one. Dilemma averted.

Think I've only played 7 game son PP so not sure what looks different. It looks pretty similar to Boyles btw.

Whats new on it?

I actually like the one where your driving towards a 2 year old girl and you must hit her to save your own life, could you do it?

I am choosing a bedtime film and am going by the list of top rated Rotten Tomatoes films of 2009 (documentaries always make up 90% of the top rated films because people confuse good intentions with good entertainment), it's between:

and

I must have got confused with all the chase scenes, shooting, fighting, and the James Bond film that made an appearance in the last quarter.



I'm certainly not going to win any arguments on the Inception one anyway. I enjoyed it, but I think people are going way overboard. I like cool things like that as much as anyone, but I was also kind of bored during action sequences on more than one occasion.

I think its impressive achievement is that it wasn't a total train wreck, which it would have been in most other directors' hands.

I agree some fanboys have gone over the top in the theorising about the scenarios but IMO the Nolan's great achievement with Inception was to make an action movie that maintained my attention the whole way through.
Also did you know that there is little or no CGI involved.

There are only 3 regged for the 8.45pm sat, which needs 8 to run...I'm guessing they'll get much busier in the next few weeks - still would like to play tonight though!

Argh, so close! There 7 of us regged at 8.45pm, just needed one more to run...don't want to play in the big Sunday IWF package sat, don't need the package at all, the Burlo is about 5 mins drive from my gaff! Maybe next Thursday both sats will get going...I guess seat-only ones are really only attractive to Irish players so won't be too busy until the final few weeks.

[Strewelpeter]

Brag. My eldest son scored a job in a good Architects office in London today. Pretty fcking awesome for him considering he graduated just as the recession bit hard and it was starting to look like he should think about doing something other than what he really wants to do.

(probablya cert to score now though)

Lucky me!

bookies seemed to be the only people on planet who didn't know Babel was starting up front tonight

8/1 first goal generally available
small bet (could you trust him with a big bet)

price quickly shortens to 5/1ish and im feeling smug

scores with his last touch of the ball

Poor Liverpool performance, although there were a good few in the team that are lacking match fitness. Should have scored a couple more though, even with the poor performance, but could have conceeded as well.

Kind of puts a fresh perspective on CHD's militant motto. I think like the accusations with David Icke that reptiles is a euphemism for Jews, I will now choose to interpret every insult and accusation towards Ipoker by members here as being code for anti-Semitic statements. Should make the complaining more fun.

2 very good films you may not of heard of. I watched these a while back, they were highly rated on rotten tomatoes

Shotgun Stories http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0952682/

Shotgun Stories tracks a feud that erupts between two sets of half brothers following the death of their father. Set against the cotton fields and back roads of Southeast Arkansas, these brothers discover the lengths to which each will go to protect their family,

Frozen River http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0978759/

It is about two working-class women who smuggle illegal immigrants in the trunk of a car from Canada to the United States in order to make ends meet. Melissa Leo was nominated for Academy Award for Best Actress, but lost to Kate Winslet in The Reader.

I saw this one a year or two ago, solid drama, good performances but fairly slow moving. While the story is interesting and the actors are good, not much happens to keep your attention.

A couple of people have said this Tony but I don't quite follow.

SPOILER

What about all the cities and streets folding up on eachother and crumbling buildings.There were a few other scenes too,what were they if not CGI?

I think people associate CGI with movies like Transformers and Jurassic Park but it's used for just about everything in the movies now.

e.g 0:17 or so

Inception

SPOILER

Obviously CGI is used but only when its almost impossible to do the scene with other means. An example of this is the Zero gravity for example was created entirely on a physical set, with no CGI added. Nolan puts the actors through a hardcore regime with intense training of weeks and then put them in a huge rotating set.

“It was like some incredible torture device; we thrashed Joseph for weeks. But in the end we looked at the footage, and it looks unlike anything any of us has seen before. The rhythm of it is unique, and when you watch it, even if you know how it was done, it confuses your perceptions. It’s unsettling in a wonderful way…we want an extraordinary thing that happens in an ordinary way. That’s always been the goal.”

Most films would have green screened a huge amount of the film which Nolan refuses to do when it can be done another way. This video shows the lengths Nolan goes to not use CGI.

Would I be able to simply rock up to Croke park on Sunday and pay in through the turnstiles or would I definitely need a ticket?

You should be able to pick up a face value ticket easy enough in the pubs beforehand anyway.

Lloyd, one of the GAA boffins was on the Last Word this evening (about 6.30pm) talking about the new railings for Hill 16 and mentioned that this Sunday's game would probably be the 1st sell out of the championship in Croker; he said that over 70k tickets are already gone (capacity is about 82k IIRC) so I imagine there won't be anything left by Sunday afternoon. You don't pay in at the turnstiles anyhow anymore, do you? You gotta get your ticket from Ticketmaster (those leeches) or from one of the GAA ticket shops nearby.
