Re: The Lounge
the satellite isn't taking pictures with a DSLR, bro
it's collecting wavelengths in different sensors, most likely red green and blue in order to easily mock up a completed image
the combination of the satellite's velocity (several thousand miles per hour) and the plane's ground velocity (and an inattentive screener at keyhole HQ) results in a distorted frame getting put into the google earth/maps database.
basically, the satellite has a blue camera, then a green camera, then a red camera, which don't fire exactly simultaneously

Well, it's pretty cool. They should have errors more often. Not important ones, just funny like that one.

So I was playing Pandemic 2, and the last hospital was in Greenland, and they finished the vaccine with only 300 people left in their population... But it just made the disease immune to further vaccines, and now Greenland is devoid of human life, just like the rest of the world. SUCCESS 40554
I can't help but wonder why there are two boats floating around in triangles in the ocean, still, though. Automated panthophobic robots, I guess.

My friend wrote me pages and pages about how cool Haven and Hearth is- but it's so ugly. Augh. And I play ASCII games without tilesets (like a man). Augh its uglier than having no graphics at all. It's almost as ugly as Terraria.

Yeah, I kind of let all the apartments catch on fire by accident. Also, ♥♥♥♥ npc's tearing down my barricades just to go through a house.

Re: The Lounge
How did he manage to do that, and NOT be taken away by security? Seriously? Bringing out your ♥♥♥♥ in front of hundreds of people? What was he thinking? Isn't that ILLEGAL? Why are all of these sentences questions?

You are in a state of shock. This is why all game shows should have snipers up the back of the audience.
