    How long before they finally crack down on all those Anonymous users posting on Slashdot

    They won't crack down on them. The FBI know's they are all Cowards.

    Not true at all. Geeks that play starcraft like Brotoss, Brolords, Broverlords, Broaches, Brofestor drops. They like a lot of bros.

    MMM is Marine,Marauder,Medivac. It will be too confusing. 3M is much better.

    Mechanical keyboards can still be found with a small bit of searching. Check out http://www.overclock.net/keyboards/491752-mechanical-keyboard-guide.html for a whole bunch of them. I use a Deck Legend and love it.

  5. Re:News at eleven. on The Psychology of Horror In Video Games and Movies · · Score: 1

    Play Amnesia: The Dark Descent if you want a new, awesome, scary horror game. No weapons, no killing monsters, no way to feel powerful at all. You just need to run. The sound and immersion is awesome.

  6. Re:Repetition on Why Don't We Finish More Games? · · Score: 1

    I agree with you mostly. But i think MW and MW2 had very solid (albeit short) single player stories.

    This makes me really sad.

  8. Re:Is it just me? on Robot Swarm Control On Microsoft's Surface · · Score: 3, Informative

    The swarm stuff is neat, but has been done in RTS games. Nothing really revolutionary, except that it's never been done for swarms, using a touch table. The work defines some easy gestures and methods that have been studied and found to be what the majority of people would naturally do. What I find truly revolutionary about this interface is the dream controller. It doesn't get much play in the video, but it is remarkable. You put your hand down, and it draws the controller around it. It's exact every time. No matter what size hand, or orientation, it draws it perfectly for 100% of the human population. No more xbox/ps3 controllers that by their physical nature can only be built to be comfortable for the average. (50% of the population.) Having the tactile feedback of a keyboard or gamepad button has it's benefits, but if the controller is drawn directly under your hand, You can very quickly learn to press a button without having to feel it. Having this possibility opens up a whole new world of controller design with applications in video games, touch screens apps, every day appliances, and more. We can rethink controller design, and make the controller conform to the user, rather than the user conforming to the controller. I think it has a lot of potential, and am looking forward to seeing where this goes.

    (Bart studies Homer's Thomas Edison invention chart.)
    Bart: If Edison thought of that chair, how come it's not on this chart?
    Homer: It's not? Maybe he never told anyone about it. (Points at Edison poster.) That chair might be the only one he made.
    Bart: So?
    Homer: So, we've got to go to the Edison Museum and smash it! Then I'll be an inventor!
