Did you say me-me? I was always of the thinking it was meme (meem)

I say "meh meh" but one of the lads says "meem" and it wreaks my head, I think if it should be said meem it should have been spelled that way.
Wiki says it's 'meem'

If you follow that "magic e" rule we were taught in primary school it does say meem :pac:

Retr0gamer

Ok that solves it. Blame Sera.

miːm in the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) denotes 'meem'. That pointless linguistics class I had to take in my undergrad comes in handy sometimes :P

Press the little speaker over on this page: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/meme (as Steve SI also pointed out above while I was typing this :pac:)

The only way we can verify this any further is to contact the great Dawkins himself!

I don't have a huge amount of time to put in to researching stuff so very happy to have anyone on board to talk on the thing.

The radio studio is in Coolock on the northside of Dublin. If anyone wants to record one before the 28th then let me know. 28th is a saturday so might easier to get those who are further afield in.

Well Tuesdays and Fridays I'm free and can do most weekends when I'm not in Limerick.

Retiring my launch DS phat today. It's been seven years, and its still running like an absolute boss after I refused to answer the call of multiple hardware revisions. There were tough times - mostly Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan related - but they were good times, one and all. Here's to the sturdiest piece of hardware in recent memory. We shall meet again, brave prince.

Professey Chin

Those original DS's are absolute tanks.
I broke my old lite by stepping on it getting out of bed
Shouldnt have left it open

Atavan-Halen

True that. The first fat DS I got was run over by a van and despite a cracked screen and unresponsive, but intact touch screen it powered up and still played games.

RE6 trailer is a fine example of how not to make one.

I can take skype calls in Studio 4. Skype can be a bit hit and miss though.

I can also take regular phone calls and put them through the desk in the bigger studio 3 and it can be just like the Joe Duffy show.

Listened to you's guys podcast on the way into work this morning. I haven't played any of the Star Fox games but I enjoyed listening to the podcast regardless and look forward to the next one.

Looks like I'm getting a loan of a RED camera again next week. A EPIC this time and not the RED ONE.

Anything retro I should record in 5k?
I've already done the candy cab and a few other bits in 4k with the RED ONE before xmas.

I'm getting the Red pro prime set of lense as well so I can test them out as I only had a 35mm last time.
So anyone ever want some retro gameplay or anything recorded in 5k?




I only got about 25mins of footage per 128GB memory cart on the RED ONE so I'm expecting about 15-20mins per 128GB on the EPIC at 5k so the videos cant be very long as I only have the one cart unfortunately.

Looks like that new boards URL filterer doesn't like that link.

Retr0gamer

Weird, the link works for me?

DinoRex

Oh seems okay now. Must have been a temporary hiccup.

There's another one in another cancelled cop show where the good guys chase the bad guy in an MMO as if the characters catching up to one another would even mean anything.

Don't think so. But she's playing along just using her hands while the other guy is playing, that's how he spots that she must be REALLY good!

CiDeRmAn

There a "Level 10" in PoP?

The worst game in a show was the appearance of a Second Life type game in the truly awful Ghost Whisperer, now thankfully cancelled.

American TV, you just gotta love it.
My girlfriend hates watching CSI with me. Whenever anything technical comes on I just go mental with how wrong they are.

I mean who types emails in size 120 fonts, come on.

Retr0gamer

Ghost Whisperer did at least have two good things going for it.

Oh man, Hacking. As someone who used to "test" system vulnerabilities a long time ago it really makes me laugh when they show someone hacking or getting hacked in shows.
Flashy flashy, green terminal screen in size 50 font, multiple windows opening and closing, the source html from some website scrolling etc etc etc. dude I just hacked you.

topic for your next podcast:
ridiculous depections of videogames (and related, like what is mentioned above) in film and television

We all look forward to it.:D

DinoRex

The real question is, has there ever been a good representation of games on screen?

The original Tron perhaps...

Yes. Super Mario Brothers: The Movie. :pac:

DinoRex

Oh and lets not forget The Wizard!

Retr0gamer

The obvious answer is Gamecentre CX

My other vote goes to the wing commander movie.

I was flicking through Netflix last night and saw "The Wizard" listed. I'm tempted to watch it...

Adam Sandler plays Shadow of the Colossus in "Reign Over Me."

UK/Eire Netflix? Think I'll be putting that on my Apple TV tonight, thanks for the heads up!

DinoRex

In general the games are played pretty normally in The Wizard if I remember correctly... well... except that it makes it look like the Power Glove is actually of some use.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_DLlV2vZGU

Retr0gamer

It's an exploitative piece of ****. But it worked. It made me think that the powerglove was amazing and made me excited about Mario Bros 3 when I had a commodore at the time.

I'm not sure about that, the girl in the film had psychic powers since she knew where the warp whistle was in a game that had yet to be released.

Great news 'Tallafornia' is back on telly tonight so if any of you guys wanna watch a documentary on me tune in.
