I know she roams these forums, but really, she fumbles and stutters her words so much ,it's unbelievable she's on T.V
If I had to underperform in my job ,I would be shown the door right away.

Even if it is broadcast live ,it's still terrible, I mean look at most of the news readers and weather reporters , they're not doing that badly and it's also live.

I know she has a lot fans in myBB, but sure at least some of you might agree with me... or not.
Anyway nuff said, I don't mean to be nasty or anything, just had to get it off my chest.

I wish cybernet was still on,that show was legendary. anyway,i think the verge sucks
 
I don't know, I quite like the easy going style of the show.
Sometimes feel like its Wayne World for gaming, just made up on the spot

I wish she would pushed the local gaming seen more, go out to lans and interview the
13 year old team that just handed it to 50 odd players.

Hhhmm I wonder if she is the Pippa I went to junior school with.
 
Have you ever heard of a thing called nerves?
Unlike other t.v presenters she talks directly to the viewers who reply via SMS
so trying to talk on the spot/reply quickly can be a mission. I think she is doing a great job and lets not forget she is a full time lecturer so t.v presenting isn't exactly her forte.
In my opinion she can only get better with time.
Iv met her husband at a bar once super cool guy i just wish i knew who did her ink... iv had an idea for a similar design for years

If t.v presenting "isn't exactly her forte" why is she exactly where she shouldn't be.?
Great, if her husband is a cool dude, and hopefully she's a good lecturer.
I work with plenty of cool dudes that are educated as well, I don't see them doing T.V. Each has his/her own talents and we should stick to it.
The guys on 702 , 3-talk with noleen ,etc also talk directly to the viewers and listeners and they do a better job.
 
I love watching Noleen especially when they have a show on being healthy and there she is in Parkwood smoking and taking down some fast food. back to the sbject...

First of all lets take the audience who is watching the show... gamers aka what most people consider nerds.
Would you rather an attractive female who does game or some pimply 20yr old saying
how a game is gonna be uber cool and talk about how many shaders are being used.
I also grew up watching Cybernet and it was a great a show but then again it also wasnt a live broadcast and it was a voice over.
I dont watch the virge that often to be honest since i can get my gaming news instantly at the click of a button
 
Hee hee, I would like to see a stand off with a Pimply Nerd Guy on one side and Cute Pippa on the other. As I was once a Pimply Nerdy Guy my self, I would tell you any amount of stuff that the SEGA 64bit could do, but put me in front of a pritty girl and watch the chain gun of stuttering begin :D
I think it would be K.O. for Pimply Nerd Guy.

ok, how many texels can a vertex output on a voxel of a size by lets say, 64x64x64 symmetric channels? (Using the old 16-Bit SEGA e-Motion Engine, not the newer ones)

Anyone?

I might be way off base, but, 16-bit SEGA only output in 32x32 Sprite Size. Now if the Texels were flattened to make a texture map it would be 24576 pixels that is 24 sprite tiles.

This is sad, as i spent 2hour thinking/research about this and still don't know if my answer mabe be plausible. Keeper can you enlighten us? :D
