I am personally a fan of another of his games not mentioned here, Yomi. It definitely puts focus in a 1-on-1, competitive aspect where you're not playing time trial and every actio…

Can't agree with you more.

It's a lot of standing on the shoulders of giants. People take a new framework or library that abstracts things at such a high level like making a chart just by doing chart ((0.1, …

I would guess they pull from the wiki commons and then use typical JPG or PNG algorithm libraries to stretch or compress the image. There's probably some AI to retrieve images that…

I'm saying that players have come to expect that issuing "move" will make AI take the shortest path without destruction, and we know that if there is a faster way, we have to tell …

I'm interested in knowing how many of you on here are going to read this in one sitting. Not that it would be sufficient to analyze it for bugs, but because you're that interested.…

Why is this game so godlike? I think people might have missed it because they are too used to thinking about what could happen on a real board, where arms would get tangled and wha…

I think it's pretty standard that if you issue a move command, units will not attack and will go around. Players have come to expect this since Starcraft I. The whole idea of tower…

I think you're looking for "straw man" as I didn't attack you personally but you think that I'm attacking a point you didn't make. I brought up one counter-example, but I have seen…

The actual study seems to be behind a paywall. The article claims that "participants were told they won about half the trials", which I assume would be by blasting them with noise …

They also said that the participant won half the trials. How could the experimenters fool the subjects about the game if they didn't get any harsh sounds back?

However, blasting unseen opponents' ears with louder and longer unpleasant noise is reality.

And then we have artists like DJ Kariu ( http://www.youtube.com/user/Kariu ) who have been producing content for years, have ~30k views on their big songs, produce consistently, an…

Even the technically illiterate hit the black market from time to time to gorge on some shady-looking but insanely cheap DVDs.

Or they delegate the activities to the NSA who work under-the-radar and nobody knows anything except what the whistle-blowers say.

It is the case in a lot of chat programs that you will get Tipzntrix: hi Tipzntrix: ) The closing paren is supposed to be attached to the colon to make a super quick happy face. or…

I would be pretty angry at Vice Magazine if I was McAfee right now.

The old boil a frog slowly metaphor. I think this myth was debunked, interestingly enough

I wonder how much research the marketing team did on setting up their brand with that name, considering their consumers are parents and young children.

Gas mileage and average life of transmission, etc. are benchmarks that do matter to the average consumer. The max horsepower isn't used at all by people purchasing cars for travel …

That's mostly fair, but gigantic multiplayer experiences have in general tried to target more modest min. reqs., like Starcraft II on the competitive side, or all of those East asi…

You see with Windows, Microsoft targetted (or at least went WAY out of their way to accommodate) the trailing edge. hell, they even held support for many DOS programs for a long ti…

For laptops, there's Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, Sony, and more...a lot of them don't cost as much as Apple, but their benchmarks match up at a cheaper cost.

The distribution of illegal drugs to greater distances is just a byproduct of public transit or automobile sales.

I believe this article specifically states that it inludes Indian subcontinent, Cambodia, Phillipines, and Vietnam with the typical Orientals.
