16. Fun for the whole family!
Spin him in circles! Grab him by the ankles...just like Jeff Gannon does! Shake him by the shoulders and try to talk some sense into him!

Gosh, but that was therapeutic.

3. nice-- that's not an animation in the strict sense....

It looks more like someone was working on code for modeling ragdoll physics of falling and interacting with solid bodies (which are apparently not acting realistically in that none of the energy of the impacts seems to be imparted to them). Someone developing a game algorithm, I'll bet, or at least learning to implement one. Nice sense of humor, putting that chimpanzee head on the ragdoll, LOL.

on edit-- Oh that is very nicely done-- notice that the mouse cursor doesn't just grab the center of mass-- you can snag him by the hand, or his foot, or better yet, by the head, which is great fun to bash into the spheres over and over again....

9. I find it somewhat unsatisfying...
Edited on Sat Oct-15-05 01:53 PM by Viva_La_Revolution
I would like the bubbles to change to cubes - with lots of sharp corners.

I'm feeling particularly :evilgrin: today

8. Can you post that in the Humor Group, pls

It could be great to relieve stress.

10. Someone posted this a couple of weeks ago from
www.planetdan.net. Maybe that's the original site. It's good to keep reminding people of it! I love the cowboy boots they put on him!

12. If we can find the code, it would be great to add a persistent model of th
bones actually breaking and allow them to bend in their new configurations. :evilgrin:

I've just spent about 15 mins staring in stress-relieved amusement at this...

... any chance of finding out who produced it... I'd love to see a Tony Blair version... well, actually... pretty much any UK politician would do...

18. Hi Truebrit!
Welcome to DU! :toast: :hi:

21. Hehe
Now THAT would be worthwhile... but it would have to be the "Spitting Image" puppet of her to be truly worthwhile...

And thanks for the welcome!!! :beer:

15. Ah jeez...
... now I got a glitch on my puter and the mouse-control stuck on poor Dubyer... and I just spent another twenty minutes twatting the bastard all over the screen, whilst giggling like a girl...

... hell, I think I need to get out more...

(but doesn't it feel SOOOOO good to squeeze the ignorant toothless cousin-fucker through all those iddy-biddy little spaces between the balls???)

22. Shame huh?
I would heartily recommend it as a prescription stress-relief. Beats even a hand-shandy or popping bubble-wrap...

:headbang:
