i think "doctor" would be acceptable for someone who got four ph.ds in two years and has an m.d. to boot

(i don't think you get m.d.s "in" something, you just get the degree and then specialize, but who am i to question stan lee)

looks like it

the fighter was really popular the first time i saw it so i didn't get in line to presumably get schooled on some game i didn't know and then the lines kinda went away after the novelty wore off

gameplay was bad from what i've read

this is the whole point of 3d films. they trick your brain into seeing things that don't exist. maybe if your brain is stupid it goes "ehhhh, okay, whatever" but when you got a big brain like me it rejects the inconsistent data and gives you a bigass headache. confirmation that your brain is working right.

incidentally this is why 3d films will always be garbage until we get actual moving holograms

wrong, video signals pumped directly into each eye socket would come first

video signals into yr eyes wouldn't do it either unless the video machine has a way of reading the movements of your eyes and perfectly mimicking the natural changes in perspective and focus that would come with those motions. the nasty disconnect with stereoscopic 3d happens because the stereoscopic films only give you one of several cues you need, while all the others are saying 2d. video signals would do the same. holograms create the actual light pattern of the 3d object and let you look at it as if it were really there, so there's no mental dishonesty

like have you ever seen a really good transmissive hologram? the kind where you have to look at a glass window into a laser beam to see it? poo poo is phenomenal. it's like looking at the real objects just sitting there lit in speckly red light. if you're in new england the mit museum has a bunch of great ones.

im curious how the artificial retina projects overcome the bidirectional i/o problem. i'm guessing they just don't.

3D sucks because your eyes want to focus on different depth planes while tilting on their horizontal axis. this can't be done on a screen that's a constant distance from the viewer.
