My work colleague (we'll call in Charles) wants to get into FPV and we've been experimenting with a few cheap options. There's now a ridiculuously cheap way to get into it. It all comes from the Chinese copy-house Eachine and the components are crazy-similar.
Assuming a single battery for flight (to start with) and you have a soldering iron or access to one (or live near me).
Now we have a portal on the Lack Of world, it's time to kill the Ender Dragon. I'd love to have some company on this huge task. This is the final boss (bar the Wither) and for it we need some preparation. It's not the end of the world as I see it - we'll still be building on the main world.
Fairly standard upgrades faster a dedicated fpv camera and then micro 4/3rd 4k sensor with interchangeable lens mounts for primary cameras and it will shoot in raw mode and record direct to an onboard pcie ssd (probably m.2 by the looks of it)
It has the phantom 4 obstacle avoidance systems and now an upward looking sensor to avoid obstructions above it
better battery life faster speeds
Some games I have been playing recently and thoughts
In 1.10 those kindly folk at Mojang inserted a great many cool bits and bobs into the game. Most notably was cool stuff in The End. Not just blocks to build with but wings to fly on and other treats. While I've been pottering about and building here and there and working on THE SECRET PROJECT, I've not really had an adventure in a long time (Horse House might have been the last one). So, off to The End to kill the dragon it is!
Looks like the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
It's bloody typical that I just get my green card only to have this country slip off the deep end by electing human embodiment of the colour orange and generally terrible human being DJ Drumph as their president
So I've never really got on with skyrim it seems fun and so on but I always feel a bit disconnected from the world it doesn't pull me in for some reason. On it's close cousin Fallout I've spent loads of time and on the recent fallout 4 I've done multiple play throughs in different characters and gone back to it several time as more things have come along but with skyrim I start off do some bits and then something else comes along and I abandon it.
I made a thing! I decided to give myself 80 minutes to edit a short clip I arrested from last week's game. For those who haven't ridden with us in a while, EMW is driving his 3-wheeler in his pants, Big R is the motorcyclist in the star spangled pyjamas and my character, Satre, is the trouble maker who gets bitten by Karma.
I enjoyed putting the video together, even if the distance-limit was really very annoying.
So shadow warrior was a remake of an earlier duke 3d based game that was swords and guns and piles of gore.
Shadow warrior 2 is more of the same but adds in a load of weapons and a gem's system to augment and change the abilities and damage of the weapons.
