While I've thought a bit about bot vision (but please see the "I don't know what I'm talking about" bit in my above post) the aural side of things I thought of as well.
In so far as vision goes, couldn't the image processing stuff for such a game AI also be used if the camera was in the real world, assuming that it got pumped image data from an artificial camera?
I think the one brain for multiple enemies can be done well, if you base a particular AI on the role the enemy fills. If they are soldiers, then you can have some variables for each one which can alter what each individual enemy does, while still remaining a general soldier AI.
For example: there are two enemies, both soldiers. One is a conscript, neophyte who doesn't want to be there, the other is a warloving battle hardened veteran. There is a variable for, say, panickiness. For the vet, it could be 0; he does not panic. For the other it could be, say, 7. If things are going well, he won't freak, if things begin to shift, then he may or may not, but if things fall apart, he freaks and makes a run for it.
I've been wondering about that as well. What would be kind of cool about it would be that much of the enemy AI would be applicable to any sort of independent AI agent acting in a similar world. Realtime pathfinding, object recognition, etc in 3d would seem to me to be very similar to, say, what a robot would need.
Of course, I also don't know what I'm talking about, but this is Slashdot damnit! Even reading the summary is optional!
If FDR was speaking well after being dead, I would think that fewer people would have cared about nuking Japan than the President of the United States was a zombie.
Why settle for a boring old phone when you can have a shapeshifter!?!? It's a phone, a music player, a car and a sexbot!

Not being a Moore super-fanboy, but as I understand it, he insists that his name not be on the product and that his co-creator (the artist) gets his half of the cash for the movie.
I'm not sure it is possible to completely misunderstand Dredd seeing as he can be what the story needs him to be. He has been the caricature of the strict law enforcer, the questioner of authority, the tireless pursuer of justice, the bloody avenger, the super-soldier, etc.
For the 5 or so hours I played Fallout 3, I didn't use VATS. Aiming directly between the eyes at 10 feet would usually miss by a mile. It was awful. While I loved Fallout 1 & 2, I hated 3.

You do know that:
for( int i = 0; i < TOOMUCHPORN; ++i )
;
is an infinite loop, right?
Dude! Spoiler warning!?!?!? Not everybody has read the books y'know.
sheesh... some people
I'll send Eric Raymond and Richard Stallman right over!
Wouldn't it be more like being born when Linux was first able to self-host?
If you can't feel anything, how would you know their hands are in your pants?
You are disturbingly imaginative.

Sound is one thing that annoys me in FPS games. I'm getting machine gunned, but I can't hear it? wtf is up with that...

WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for pointing that out. I had never actually thought about the two together as I had never heard that crypto was classified as a munition.

I thought that Wolverine is mandated to appear anytime any other Marvel superhero is... that's certainly the impression I get from Marvel's covers.

FPS: Something to shoot -> aim at something -> shoot at it.
F3: Something to shoot -> move to near point blank range -> shoot at it -> miss continuously

They link to articles on slashdot? I just thought we all came in here and started ranting.

I've heard of those... they process threads there, don't they?
Once upon a time I decided to change over to sendmail, after all that was what the big boys used.
So, I apt-geted sendmail.
Then I looked at the configuration file.
30 seconds later, I was installing postfix.
