TIL that Anorion is researching on trolling.

TIL that it takes a hand to mind coordination of exactly 1 min if you want to get a confirm tatkal ticket from Bihar to Delhi. Any more than that and you might only get a waiting list ticket.

And finally.. adding to above TIL's...

TIL poly count means nothing in a game, baked textures are much more important. no matter how many polygons you try to fit in, it's never gonna be enough, and you can achieve much more realism with shaders, textures, bump maps... basically materials... you are gonna hit limits of proccy and gpu pretty soon before you even get to realism if you try to approach realism with poly count.

also resolution means nothing about quality really. there is no way for anyone to get to know this first hand without checking out a high poly game in 512x384, it still looks muuch better than a low poly game at 1080p, only thing is you cant because no such titles exist. are there any demos that actually show this?

TIL that Burnout Paradise have a Secret mode, where you can press S, and then you enter in a mode that makes your car bounce up and down, and you can then create havoc in the city. :D
The discovery was totally accidental.

Not at all secret. Showtime. Each road has two rules, one time rule, and one showtime rule. Beat them both to rule the road.

A correction...
It was Murcielago for the first two films and an Aventador for the last film... :D
