Ok, what's up with the Canon in D guitar? Somewhere, likely on these boards but maybe not, someone else posted a link to some kid playing the same thing, Canon in D on an electric. Just like in this video, it's being played over another recording, and I can't find the other one to compare, but it sounds very similar to how I remember it. Are these guys just faking this to some existing version? It really sounds familiar.

We hope to make this feature available more widely in the future, and we really appreciate your patience.

If you search Google vdieo for "Canon in D" you'll find a bunch of videos like this and most of them mention JerryC, so I'm assuming that his was the first.

JerryC's site (http://jerryc.tw/) and more JerryC videos (http://www.jerryc.co.uk/).

Yeah the mini turbines are relatively new and very expensive. About 3 grand a pop. However they're cool as hell to hear and see in person.

[Malderi]

That was almost certainly a custom-built hobby project, probably by aerospace engineers and maybe some pilots too. Looked like they had several people out there watching it, anyway.

At any rate, I doubt they sell 'em at the Toys R Us.

That's the sort of thing you see people do in a movie and say "That would never work in real life." Except that apparently, it does.

The angry French (or is it Russian? It sounded French, though) hiphop music is also worth the price of admission. And when the guy was swinging around on the monkey bars, he looked a lot like the gibbon in that other video.

Man, watching that jumping video makes me feel ridiculously out of shape. Even more than usual.

[Johan O]

This was posted on poetv, like the other video it is a guy doing parkour. The video doesn't have quite the post apocalyptic feel that the russian does though.
http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=495

Edit: The guy in the video is David Belle, who is some sort of founding father of parkour. I guess the french origin of parkour is why the Russians are using french music to their parkour video.

Top Gear is great... and I don't even care about cars.
They also raced a Harrier Jumpjet around their course and drove a car of the deck of an aircraft carrier (can't remember to prove what).

There's a second part to that Toyata bit, where they in a latter show bring it in again, and put it on top of a high rise about to be imploded... they drive it out of the ruins. Wobbly and broken, but still running.

If only a show like Mythbusters had the budget of Top Gear (and all those willing participants/sponsors like Virgin Atlantic and the Royal Navy)

Yes, its on Discovery channel, but they tend to be a couple of years old. Still worth watching for all the crazy stuff they do. The 'fast car vs public transport' or 'fast car vs airplane travel' races are some of my favourites. I will go and look for them on google video right now!

Edit: No luck on google video, but here's a link (http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/downloads/aston_vs_train_broadband.ram) to the Aston DB9 vs train race to Monte Carlo. Unfortunately its RealPlayer (spit).

Yeah they show Top Gear but it's usually an amalgamation of old footage from the UK version. Hammond and Clarkson did record new introductions to the pieces for the American audience, though. Sort of a 'best of...".

There's an American version of Top Gear that will be starting fairly soon, though. I don't know too much about it. One of the hosts will be a professional Drag Racer and another will be a Reality TV star...

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5885351342753379583&q=8088

Wow, that shit is crazy yo. My guess is that they're dynamically updating the fonts every frame and basically making it an 80x25 screen. In fact, to get 16 colors they'd have to do it that way since CGA in 'graphics' mode is 4 colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).

In fact, now that I think about it, this wouldn't be that hard to do. Use a preprocessor on a faster machine to digitize from movie to text frames w/ best fit font table creation, similar to doing JPG meets palette selection. Store those as a sequence of fonts + text pages and just blit as fast as you can.

It is, of course, in French.

[Nellie]

Thats the Channel 5 version of Top gear with a couple of the old Top Gear Presenters (including the curiously attractive Vicki Butler-Henderson) who legged it when BBC canned the series a couple of years back before bringing it back again.

Also, were they the program that showed off the new American Lotus Elise by having it tear around an airfield and avoid lock-on from an Apache helicopter, or was that something else?

Sounds about right. They tested the new Range Rover by Challenging (ho ho) a Tank to try and get a clear shot on it.

CGA had an "undocumented" 16-color mode. The original Starflight game used it. It ran at 160x200, and if you tried to view a game written for it on a non-CGA card, it looked totally screwy.

I had to use "debug" on the DOS command line to apply the patch EA provided in order to play my copy of Starflight.

[Rimbo]

HOLY FLASHBACKS BATMAN... The 8088 demo! it's Trixter! Jim Leonard! My ol' demoscene pal...

Back in the day in the scene, we called it "ANSI art". ;)

But yeah, I'm guessing it was pre-processed as well. Still pretty damn amazing to update a full screen of text at 30fps with sound. I wrote text-based art shit in ASM back in the day and you get too crazy and it would start to sparkle or chug... even on a 486!

CGA had an "undocumented" 16-color mode. The original Starflight game used it. It ran at 160x200, and if you tried to view a game written for it on a non-CGA card, it looked totally screwy.
Yeah there was an ANSI art group named iCE that developed an ANSI driver (so you didn't have to use ANSI.SYS from MS-DOS) that used some of the undocumented stuff. For instance, their driver allowed 16 foreground colors and 16 background colors at a time. They somehow disabled the blink bit (since no one much cared for blinking text) and used it for more color depth instead. It got to where you'd have to use the driver to properly view what a couple of their artists did.

[Rimbo]

shift6, that's actually a different thing. This is not a text mode; it's an actual CGA graphics mode, 160x200x4bpp (for the binary impaired, 16 colors), not text mode.

Although now that ya mention it that's probably text mode there in the video with Trixter.

Now I have to stalk Trixter and drop him a "hello."

Yeah, freaking the shit out of little kids really isn't very cool. Mainly because it's so easy. It's like bragging about crushing a fly. Oh, big man!

However, freaking the shit out of a grown PETA activist? (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7609492981002697843&q=rat+monster) Golden.

Wikipedia entry on "C'était un rendez-vous (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C'était_un_rendez-vous)."

[soundnfury]

Nissan more or less remade this video in Prague using the 350z when it was introduced. I can't find a link, but I remember in some of the commentary they talked about driving in the early morning (just like c'etait un rendez-vous) in order to minimize the traffic/impact on the city. Of course, Nissan actually closed everything down and planned it down to the pigeons that flew out of the way.

[caesarbear]

Even though the 350z in Prague was up to speed, I think rendez-vous is still more exciting.
However if you want to see some real speed, watch a BMW M3 GTR completeing the Nurbergring (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3453282977914333245&q=nurbergring&pl=true)

I don't see how those guys remember that course. Of all the GPL tracks, that was the one I always skipped. (Or just crashed on like turn two.) Cool video, though. And that was some car, just zooming by those porsches.

I remembered bits and pieces as I watched it just from lots of Project Gotham, it's not hard to believe these guys could probably drive it in their sleep.

When you drive any course day in and day out, be it the Nurburgring north loop or your path to work/girlfriends house, you get to know it by heart.

I didn't think those guys got enough track time to go from not knowing it to knowing it, though. (At least it would take me about a month of Sundays to learn the Nurbergring.)

And as for rally driving, no other racing quite conveys the "you are going WAY too fast for this road." Those guys are nuts.

[Nellie]

I don't see how those guys remember that course.

I haven't found it, but Top Gear sent the resident Nurbergring driver, Sabine Schmitz round in a transit van. I think the motorcyclists being overtaken by a van being driven by a woman might have been a little peeved (and she only missed the time Clarkson set in an S-Type Jag by a second or two).

I think the secret is doing a couple hundred laps round the place, she reckons she does 1100 laps a year round it.

Speed is relative. If he's going 180mph and they're only going 130mph, it's the same relative speed as if passing a stationery object at 50mph.

Have a look at the Top Gear video of Sabine Schmidt (http://www.topgear.com/content/timetoburn/sections/videos/) owning the Nurburgring in a van. Story behind it is that Clarkson drove it in some very nice car, slowly, and she told him she could do better in a van.

He went round it in an S-Type Jag and I think she was two seconds off the time he set in that.
