Why, thank you. I should've added though, you have to say it like Bender from Futurama...Well-played, Servo. Well-played.*golf clap*

Joke time: What makes SSE's descent better?
YOUR FACE!
:lol:
I think we're forgetting the most important part of this update to SSE: The ability for me to create awesometastic avatars!
He's not evil, he's bitter. If your home was replaced by a completely craptacular lab run by Eric Idle, you'd be resorting to sabotaging everything to end the boredom too.I think the luggage of doom video must have been written by the evil current incarnation of Figment over at Imagination.
Thank you Siemens! :lol:I think we're forgetting the most important part of this update to SSE: The ability for me to create awesometastic avatars!
More importantly, the tone of the cartoon doesn't fit the rest of the ride. It feels like the silly tone of the cartoon (and the rather silly ideas about the future, most notably the self-packing suitcase) was designed to fit the silliness of having your picture in it, rather than having the picture technology work to fit the tone of the ride. That's a huge misstep and a totally backwards approach to technology, especially for a centerpiece attraction that is all about how technology shapes the future.
The concept is awesome, but for an attraction as grand as Spaceship Earth, the silly tone of the end of the ride just doesn't make sense. In my opinion, what we need is fewer questions (just one would be fine) and cartoons that balance subtle humor with real ideas about the future (which would match the current tone of Dench's narration). Then we can laugh at how we look in the cartoon but still feel like there's something of value here, and the "B" mode wouldn't be a total waste.
Anyone with me on this?

Yeah, this is basically exactly what I was expecting after having ridden the "faceless" version a few days ago. And it seems to be having the desired effect: seeing yourself in the cartoon does kind of draw attention away from everything else.
But the cartoons themselves still need major work, in my opinion. When you get the faceless version (which I assume will be the "B" mode in case it can't recognize your face), you see how shallow this vision of the future is. The entire descent depends on properly capturing your face to be entertaining, and with the number of people who are sure to be posing, rummaging in bags, turning to talk to someone, etc., a fair number of people are going to get that "B" mode, and it ought to have something to it.
As I mentioned in my earlier comments, there are too many questions with not enough variation in the finished product. It would be far better to have just one question a la Horizons, because when you answer that many questions and still have a video that looks (at first glance) to be just the same as the one the person in front of you got, that's frustrating.

Clutch. :lol:Okay.. I knew it.
Not only was the first version of the cartoon based on Esurence.
Now, we know what this new face on cartoon thing came from!!
Southpark did it 2 years ago!

Here's the link to the video I took of the finale video and yes, I knew the picture was working so I intentionally took my picture this way.

I also agree. It should be quite easy for them to make a new video if this one just doesn't click the right way with guests. That's the nice thing about the video screens. They can easily be updated.
The video screens won't be updated. You'll have the same tired animation with the same outdated face pasting until the next redo of SSE.
Mousermerf kind of reminds me of Cat Stevens.somewhere here must be The Merf!
