Ehm doiesnt the average movie take months to make, and some real skill from everyone involved, from actors to the humble cameramen and their assistants?

Or all the effort, time, and research it took for people to create that big ass LCD TV (just go plasma, willya?) in the first place. Thousands of years I believe from when we discovered fire.

If your point is that it takes only a few buttontaps for you to turn your TV to a certain channel, okay, but any tard can do that. Just like SL.

I also partially agree with Mootykips, but I don’t think you can compare Counterstrike much with Guitar Hero or SL.

And no different from tapping keys on a keyboard to play Counterstrike and enjoying the result.

And of course watching patterns of light particles being twisted via electrical charges as they pass through liquid crystal cells to create colours as we enjoy watching a movie on our LCD television is not really any different.

Ultimately, we can break down any experience in life into the basic physical components and so deride it and yet the result is more than its component parts, right?

I was lucky enough to be invited to rehearse with La Performance last night (I was terrible lol) and no, we weren’t following scripts etc and not one of the dancers was lost in some immersive belief that they were really a dancer in a stage performance. It was a lot of fun and hard work and ultimately a rewarding experience but no one believed it was anything but what it was – enjoyable. And that’s what made the performance I saw good I believe. Watching skilled people demonstrate those skills together whilst clearly enjoying what they were doing.

I remember attending the first Ballet Pixelle performance. A wonderful collaborative experience. Great to see things continuing to innovate.

Oh yes, I can only imagine the difficulty involved in having everyone’s ao’s change animation at the correct times. It must taken a whole five minutes to code!

Off the top of my head:

default
{
attach(key pubfag)
{llRequestPermissions(pubfag,PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION};
llListen(911,”",”",”");
}
listen(integer hurr, string durr, key derp, string lol)
{llStopAnimation(oldlol); llStartAnimation(lol);
string oldlol=lol;}
}
