They get a few bursts of flame like that from the exhaust cow. I don't think it's all that signifigant.
Didn't they test a rig like this on a powered landing over water from an actual launch a few months back? This looks like another step towards doing that on land.

Even more impressive when you consider the stage is nearly 45metres long. On their most recent launch (April 18th) they attempted to 'land' the first stage in the sea as a test before moving to having the stage returning to some launch site or other. Was apparently successful except there was a storm on at the time and the waves smashed it to bits. Before that they had been testing restarts after stage separation. They captured some broken bits of video which they are trying to crowdsource people to help clean up: http://www.spacex.com/news/2014/04/29/first-stage-landing-videoThey are launching again on the 10th with another attempt at a sea landing and recovery. |

They put ablative paint all over the legs etc which is why they burn. |

Oh man that article brings back good memories. One of the things that I really enjoy in most sandbox games that have good environments like those do is really just go for a walk once in a while.
I remember ignoring the quick travel and just picking up a horse, going for a ride through Oblivion to just enjoy the sights... and then being attacked by a bunch of poor robbers with daedric armour and elvish weapons, because Bethesda.

So I was watching a film on my sofa and I had my laptop on browsing the net and suddenly Steam pops up on my laptop "in-home streaming now available". Interested I decided to try it out - I was able to play the first 10 minutes or so of Skyrim at Ultra High settings on my laptop (i5 with integrated graphics on battery) with about 40ms of latency. I was very impressed!
It just worked with no fiddling of settings or anything like that. Well played Valve, well played.
Not quite such a good experience for me, at least with Borderlands 2. First I had to go and rename some exe's or it wouldn't load at all, and then once in game the framerate and latency was pretty disappointing, felt like around 200ms input lag. This was at 1080p, wired gigabit networking, i7 gaming PC at one end, Core2Duo HTPC at the client end. Putting it into "Fast" mode bumped the framerate up from around 30 fps to 40, but didn't help latency much. |

As a bit of an update i tried with client hardware acceleration off, which felt a lot better and I played through a couple of missions - guess the 5450 I have in my HTPC just isn't good enough. Turned on the full stats and got a look at display latency, which was roughly 50-60ms in software mode. In hardware mode the numbers were similar, but had a lot more jitter, it would spike up to over 100ms often.
It's still a pretty cool service, really easy to set up, good image quality and for non-FPS games the latency wouldn't bother me.
