    Metal Gear Rising- RevenganceTrailer Leaked!

    I get the feeling this trailer is just Kojima trolling us and the real game will be something completely different.

    Red Cross Investigating Virtual War Crimes

    This is obviously internet-printers being internet-printers, but it did get me thinking: With the current generation of recruits being raised on FPSs, shouldn't game developers at least acknowledge that there are certain rules about what you simply can't do to the enemy? Something like the...

    Design from Process or Set Pieces?

    I read an interview with Rhianna Pratchett once, where she explained how video games get their plot: Three to six months before the game ships, they hire a writer who is given a mess of disjointed levels and expect him to pull a plot out of their nether regions that joins them together with...

    I am absolutely flabbergasted

    That is why I only associate with computer scientists and chemists. They may be batshit insane, but at least they're not dumb. (Exept for the idiots, of course, but you'll find those anywhere.)

    Nintendo Wins Big in French Copying Case

    Just another manifestation of the industry's belief that people shouldn't be allowed to run their own code on their own hardware they bought with their own money.

    Ditching childhood habits

    If you want to go at this the pavlovian way, you could rub habanero peppers on your nails so it hurts like Hades everytime you pick your nose. You could also get a nose piercing that blocks access to your nostrils at the price of looking rather silly. Or you could keep your fingernail...

    Songs that blow you away

    Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Especially the recording conducted by Herbert von Karajan. It embodys the triumph of a nation in the face of overwhelming aggressor. Plus there aren't many pieces for a full orchestra, all churchbells of an entire city and an artillery regiment.

    Games are art essay.

    Yahzee has written about this topic, you might want to look that up. One soundbite I particularly like is this: Humans create two kinds of things: Tools and Art. Since videogames aren't tools, they're art. Bang, question answered. Without making it that easy for us, maybe we can look at...

    Recommend me a webcomic

    A Miracle of Science (finished) and Afterlife Blues (by the same people). Both mostly hard SF with attention to detail. Also: Narbonic. Mad scientist hires computer guy. Hilarity ensues. Contains, among other things: A singing robot army, a secret moonbase, a conspiracy of everyone called...

    What would you like to see in a game?

    Female characters who are dressed sensibly. No chainmaille bikinis or similiar idiocy. Also, how about making the hero[ine] ugly? Games today are populated by hollywood actors. Dare to be ugly! And no escort missions. Ever. If you're making the game non-profit, why not open-source? On...

    Math Problem, Arguement with the teacher. Easy Logic.

    Actually, you can apply predicate logic to the real world: the woman's statement is false. Here's my proof: A := "I am in Richmond" B := "I am in Boston" C := "I am in Alaska" Her claim: ¬A => B (or in words: If A is false (read "¬" as "not") then B is also true) Let's assume...
