I saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them at the Reading cinema yesterday.

I saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them at the Reading cinema yesterday. It was overall an enjoyable film. Seemed to tick all the boxes of a Potterverse film, including same opening title sequence.  I've never read the books and originally saw the films out of sequence, on TV.

I was one of the last three to exit the cinema and after said "There's bound to be a sequel" one of the others replied that there'll be five films in total! Geez, didn't take them long to get the production line up and running! However, I might go see the next one in the cinema.

Also, as I made my way to the toilets, I met a woman who seemed to be in a confused state. I asked her what film she'd just seen and she said it was DOCTOR STRANGE. I told her she was lucky not to see it in 3D! ;)

One of the good things about a virtual world is that you can create sites and memorials that can commemorate real life events and issues, and people can visit those from anywhere. This is the Transgender Hate Crime and Suicide Memorial. It was first created back in 2008 (when I first visited it), and has been located at different places over the years. It's also been absent - so I believe - from Second Life for the last two years, so seeing this once  inworld is heartening.

RE: BOND

RE: BOND
Consider the fact that Quarrel is featured in Dr No, and later Quarrel Jnr (his son) appears in Live and Let Die (in the novels both were the same character, Quarrel, and Live and Let Die happens BEFORE Dr No). So time has passed in the world, but has it for Bond? If NOT, that's a bit like the Simpson family never aging and yet Sideshow Bob manages to marry and have a child! We have no idea how old Quarrel Jnr was in Dr. No, or even if he'd been born yet. There were 11 years between films. Bond could have visited Quarrel's family after polishing of Dr N, to arrange for compensation, so they may have met. But if it's just a code name how would the family react 11 years later?

If it IS just a code name, then it's not only Bond that has this quality - at least two other characters have it as well: Felix Lighter, and Ernst Stavro Blofeld. We never see the same Felix twice, and though Blofeld does have plastic surgery (pretty good how they cut all that weight and height off him after On Her Majesty's Secret Service) and at one point body doubles, it's clearly NOT the same man. And, what about the fact that Diamonds are Forever features an older Bond agent? Was he just on holiday when the Lazenby version took over the assignment?

Also, I would suggest that the Daniel Craig version of Bond doesn't count, as it's clearly meant to be a REBOOT. Of course there will be a new actor in the next film, but maybe (like the DOCTOR WHO version of this idea where Bond is a Time Lord) that'll be part of a new "regeneration cycle".

I would suggest an alternative. Instead of being a code name, perhaps Bond was the first test subject of an experiment by Universal Exports. He had technology implanted in his head to record and store his memories. When an agent dies, they recover that and implant the memories into a new agent. Perhaps the process overwrites the personality of the new subject as well. In that case they may as well use any test subject to transfer into. Of course the Lazenby problem applies here as well. Or maybe the Bond in Diamonds are Forever was a TWIN of of the first one? This just like conspiracy theory. You can conjecture anything without any need of facts. :P

To be honest the only one I ever noticed was the replacement of Harris, with Gambon.

To be honest the only one I ever noticed was the replacement of Harris, with Gambon. But then I've never read the books, and originally saw the films out of order for one reason or another (never seen them in the cinema, only local free-to-air TV and on airplanes as filler). I did eventually see them all in order, one week apart because they're a regular fixture on channel GO!, which shows the whole saga at least three times a year.

Anyway, without reading the books, I was unaware that some of these (like the inn keeper) were actually the same characters! With others, had not spotted the difference when the actor's under a pile of prosthetics and makeup. Also, I'm not sure if the Voldemort one counts, because Tom Riddle (different ages) was played by at least two actors, and a strange face on the back of a head could have been anyone!

It might sound crazy, but I'm really glad to have cool TV shows to watch.

It might sound crazy, but I'm really glad to have cool TV shows to watch. Especially ones that tap into the source material of my youth. AGENTS OF SHIELD is one such show. I already had a bunch of knowledge about the comic characters in that, and in other shows like JESSICA JONES and DAREDEVIL. I really liked, for example how the origin of THE PUNISHER's shirt logo in DAREDEVIL comes about. It made sense for that character.

When you see something in one of those shows that matches what you've know or read, it really boosts the enjoyment. Which is why, after last night's episode of the above show (which already features NIGHT RIDER), I think we might have seen the introduction of their version of MOLECULE MAN (which this article I just found, agrees on). Whoohoo!!

Well, I went and saw Doctor Strange, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Well, I went and saw Doctor Strange, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Not exactly the comic book version, but pretty close in many ways. I loved: the cloak of levitation (best character in the film); the astral traveling and fighting (always happening in the comics); references to The Living Tribunal and other characters and objects found in the comics; the mirror dimension (just glad I didn't see this in 3D); and wushu/magic in general. The only thing that really grated on me was Cumberbatch's fake American accent. They could have made him a British Doctor practicing in New York., and it wouldn't have changed the story much.

The mirror dimension, while visually inspired by Inception  is clearly  also inspired by Mirrors (2008). Either way it's a good idea and not only  explains why no one sees all these magical battles take place, but has its roots (as does the Dark Dimension) in classic Steve Ditko artwork. Things were always in strange alignments with pathways -of-no-visible-support going every which way (e.g. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/16/af/e9/16afe9d09416e5e9c48dc1834d43b01a.jpg and https://www.blackgate.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Steve-Ditkos-Doctor-Strange-3.jpg). No Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, yet, but the ending is clearly setting things up for two films.

I found the casting interesting. Benedict Cumberbatch of course gained fame by playing Sherlock homes and I have to wonder if the address of the New York sanctum - 177A Bleecker Street - is a sly reference to 221b Baker St? When his character makes a major mistake and admits to it, I felt like shouting "No Shit Sherlock?!" Tilda Swinton plays the Ancient One, which might seem a major departure from the comics, but she played a near immortal Orlando in the film of the same name, so I think it's good casting. Wong is actually played by an actor whose surname is Wong! I know Chiwetel Ejiofor mainly from the film Serenity where he plays the Operative of the central alliance, who is also an assassin, and who totally (at least until the end of the film) believed in the morality of his cause. His character in this film, Mordo was one of Strange's main antagonists in the early comics, and I can see lots of the Operative reflected in this version of Mordo.

A good film for me, and far better than Civil War.

Giving users more access to the programming side of the game development

More students are learning about the world of open source through video games. Open source games like FreeCiv and Minetest invite young gamers to dig into the source code, while projects like SpigotMC empower them to write plugins to extend their favorite games.

Unfortunately, the open source tools used to build games do not share the same prominence. Rochester Institute of Technology student Matt Guerrette hopes to help change that with Hatchit, his open source gaming engine.

Guerrette and fellow student Arsen Tufankjian created Hatchit in February 2016. They felt the popular game engines they used in class and for personal projects were more design-oriented and lacked some technical details they were looking for. Together, they decided to build their own gaming engine with the goal of exposing developers to the technical side of the process. "We want to give you more access to the programming side of the game engine," Guerrette said.

Hatchit is written in C/C++ and licensed in a mix of GPL and LGPL. The project was originally designed to take advantage of the DirectX APIs for development. However, Guerrette and Tufankjian ran into an unexpected event while they were getting started. Nvidia released the Vulkan APIs in competition with the DirectX APIs. They attempted to support both APIs simultaneously, but later opted to focus on Vulkan.

This is almost interesting.

This is almost interesting. And the thing that really interested me was that someone's written a book called Law and the Multiverse: Superheroes, supervillains, and the law. (see http://lawandthemultiverse.com/the-book/). It almost sounds like a National Lampoon parody.

I've just finished reading the omnibus collections of the entire run of Lucifer.

I've just finished reading the omnibus collections of the entire run of Lucifer. The character's an offshoot if Vertigo's Sandman series of comics. Bloody good stories in this, which deal with the nature of omnipotence, free will, and a crap load of destinies in and outside of existence. Damn good reading.

The TV show's vaguely based on this series, but like the Wicked books and the Wicked stage show, between the difference between the Lucifer comics and TV show is like that between a cup of Turkish coffee, and a lite frappuccino!

I've started drawing again, after my seizure last month.

I've started drawing again, after my seizure last month. This is using some "SAI brushes" (from Miss Chroma on DeviantArt) in Clip Studio Paint.

It's a start.

Sort of been worried about this issue, myself.

This destination is one of the ClevelandPlus sims in Second Life - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ClevelandPlus%20III/190/80/12. These are a series of sims run by Case Western Reserve University, with an assortment of sky boxes floating above.

According to the university, "...[i]ts islands have been carefully constructed to provide teachers, students, researchers, and visitors a variety of learning environments for use in and out of the classroom." I rather like these for their monumental architecture. The tower and the buildings around it are undoubtedly based on buildings from real life, even though the SL version is mostly an empty shell. The lecture theatre pyramid not so much (though I do like the security room towards the top, which features monitors showing various areas).

Elsewhere there is a training and simulation centre, and other buildings that probably have a function but have been underdeveloped. Not far away, Barnfield Academy features an observatory and seems well laid out, and to the west lies the University of Delaware. This is what i call the "University Archipelago" and other learning institutions will be found in a chain of sims not quite adjacent to each other. I find what the tertiary institutions do in SL are often interesting.
