Test your patience

2 hours 40 minutes.

Witness history in real time.

Jimbuna · 04-19-16, 05:16 AM

I'd really like to but if the band can't be bothered then why should I?

AVGWarhawk · 04-19-16, 08:57 AM

My patience is tested daily.

Pretty lame.

Patience is a virtue and I have many exes who will attest to my total lack of virtues...

When the day comes that I have with nothing better to do than watch a ship, any ship, sink for 2 hrs. and 40 min. I'm taking that one way walk into the forest to feed myself to the wildlife.

I've raised four kids with my lively wife, I have no patience left.

That was very interesting, watched through the whole thing.

So many "experts" in the comments section who think that the movie Titanic was a historical documentary, and that every other depiction of the sinking is automatically fake and "bull&^%".

Indeed ! Search for the truth is a constant work to reach exactness and fight against our prejudices !

Ach nein...

Anyway, back on topic, the game that this video is from has been linked to in the General Games forum:

The demo is, I think, worth a download if you've had even a passing interest in the Titanic.

So did I. I found the real time presentation to give a somewhat first hand experience of it. The building of despair as the reality sinks in, the horribly slow deployment of lifeboats that seem to take forever to reach the water, the utter desolation of the sea when your man made island is gone all made it quite emotionally charged.

What is it about this ship that has captured so many peoples Imagination and that people can't seem to let this ship lay in peace where it is ? Over 1,500 people lost their lives due to gross errors and negligence. Stupidity in not heeding Ice warnings from other ships and the arrogance of the ship builders in declaring the Titanic " unsinkable " caused these needless and tragic losses of life.

Interesting video but still....

Its a game, a sinking-ship simulator where players have to explore the Titanic as a passenger, under time pressure obviously. Whether they did themselves a favour by trying to advertise their game with this 160 min. slo-mo commercial - I have my doubts.
