January 21, 2010 at 8:30 am by srfto Polyphony Digital just recently showed a video of the game’s ‘Data Logger Visualization Technology’, which tracks a real life racer driving a lap and converts it to their video game. ‘Data Logger Visualization Technology’ captures every movement of the driver and also how the car handles in real life, such as calculating the G-Force, braking, acceleration, and other details that would help replicate the same scenario as a real racer would drive around a lap.

Returns: 7 Bullshit Police Myths Everyone Believes (Thanks to Movies) | C. Hollywood has never been afraid to sacrifice realism for the sake of an entertaining story.

And since pretty much every movie or TV show features the police in some way, we as an audience get fed a lot of total horseshit about how the law works and how cops operate in the USA.

Forensic Science is Magic As Seen On: The various CSI shows, Bones Typical Scenario: There has been a murder. His one mistake was having hair.

"Wait, they're racing now? " Yes, it would. A First Look. There are a number of reasons I love working on books. I love being able to live with recipes and images for months, or even years.
