Posts I've Made

In Topic: $100 (yes, I wrote this)

She said "I'll give you a blowie for that"?


In Topic: Microsoft and the Xbox One. Thoughts?

22 May 2013 - 11:56 AM

While I certainly use my 360 a lot more to watch TV Episodes (Hulu Plus Mostly, don't have a subscription to a cable company) and movies than I use it to play any game, I do think they could have spent a bit more time on the technology in games.  In my honest opinion the Xbox One Game Trailers didn't look much different that the same game trailers we saw when the 360 was announced.

The technology in games is exactly the same as a mid-level PC. What else is there to say?


In Topic: Ironic game gets pirates to feel the sting of piracy.

30 April 2013 - 02:41 PM

Piracy rates of 90% do not mean though that you could be selling 10X more copies if it were impossible to pirate. Definitely some real gamers take a pirate copy who would pay if it wasn't so easy, but many others only get the game because it's free, or couldn't afford half the games they download if they had to pay.

 

Of course if you have an online game with overheads per player, it still hurts you.


In Topic: Any Finns or Norwegians here?

About which country to pick: there are tons of mosquitoes in Finland, depending on how early in spring you go there (even in Lapland). 

 

Ugh mosquitos? I assume they don't appear until the weather gets above freezing properly?


In Topic: Scientists are testing that we are in the Matrix...

21 December 2012 - 10:16 AM

I don't think we can physically test such things, from my understanding, the core concept of this idea is that if we are in a simulation, then if we are able to simulate an accurate universe, that means we are a simulation ourselves. I can't be the only one seeing the problem with this?

 

This seems backward to me. Wouldn't simulating a whole universe inside a simulation of a universe be the kind of thing that would break the simulator?
