Game AI – the intentional loser

Thanks to slashdot, I came across this article on making intentional mistakes to make gaming more fun. Just another reminder for me of why AI is such a fascinating field. The article is also really friendly to non-programmers too.

Immersive Games

It’s been a while since I last posted. In the last three weeks, I’ve started with my new company and increased the amount of time I spend practicing keyboards. I’m now running Linux at home and will be using Linux and Mac environments as well as Windows for work, which is a nice change. Diversifying is a good thing.

I found an interesting article about immsersive games. I’m no Nine Inch Nails fan, but I really like the concept, as nerdy as it is.

Stupid Web 2.0 Sites

Seems that despite the dot-com bust in the late 90’s, people still haven’t realized that just because content can be put on the Internet, that doesn’t mean it should be put on the Internet. Enjoy!

Windows “Mojave” – Poor Research

Windows Vista has a bad reputation. I ran Vista for less than three weeks when it shipped on my new laptop before upgrading to XP. My wife will be doing the same this weekend. Many who have tried Vista don’t like it for various issues, and rightly so. I gave it a fair try, and it failed to meet my needs. Of course, many people like Vista too, but because of changes in so many key areas that a lot of potential knowledgeable users viewed as negative, there’s no denying that Vista has a bad reputation.

Enter the Mojave Experiment.

It’s simple…kill the Batman

I found an interesting article today via Slashdot on what it would take for a normal person to become Batman. Looks like I won’t be fighting crime anytime soon.
