Maybe larger companies should start taking a more simple approach to game development. Things like Minecraft, Plants vs. Zombies, etc. Stuff that stimulates the person to be a little more creative then finding the perfect formula for the most DPS or whatever. Providing a world where it's can potentially never be the same each time you fire up the game.

And here we see how the Microsoft chip interfaces with the Motorola chip through the WDWA, ITC, and SDFL processors. The Motorola chip on the other hand has to route through the ITC, SDFL, and WDWI processors. What does this do? Hell if I know, but lets patent it and sue em both!
There's an easy solution to the always on thing. Show them where the power button is after they're done with a backup/restore. External hard drives make great backup mediums, its just how they are used after pushing/pulling data that can make or break the backup.
So what happens if the enemy manages to jam the communication between the gun and ammunition since they're talking over some sort of wireless connection or something?
Rest in peace, we're all still laughing at you. Thank you for the good memories you gave us and how you will still brighten our days as we remember you.
Fallout 3 was also known for quite a lot of bugs, so much so that I have several friends that just stopped playing out of frustration as well. I had fond enough memories of the game that I decided to buy the DLCs and found myself getting annoyed at the same bugs and frustrating crashes all over again.
Because of these experiences, I have absolutely no plans on buying the new Fallout:Las Vegas after videos were reported of the same bugs and crashes. And depending on how they change the game-play in Mass Effect 3, I might be skipping that one as well until the "ultimate" edition with all the DLCs are on sale for less than $10.
Fallout 3 was buggy like Oblivion which was something I could live with somewhat. The game offered me something new and different from the swords, wizards, and dragon type games. Fallout 3: New Vegas was mostly like Fallout 3 but I'm finding it very difficulty to continue in that game because:
* The same bugs are still there in the new game as the old. (Hello, Fix it before release!)
* More ammo types making things more messy in my inventory.
* More crafting which loads up my inventory with all kinds of components and makes things more confusing and messy in the inventory.
* Changed how healing works when eating food, everything is a heal over time now except stimpacks. I found that to be really annoying.
* Inclusion of Steam with no mention of Steam on the packaging.
I'm going to uninstall Fallout 3 New Vegas this weekend and not bother finishing it. Just too much hassle and not worth the game play. Original Fallout 3 was more fun and less annoying. I'm also going to stop buying Bethesda games since they're starting to hook up with Steam and I really don't like Steam.
"If we have the technology to make Mars habitable, then we have the technology to fix Earth. If the Earth goes to hell in a handbasket, would humans living on Mars save your life? Why not spend 1/10th that same energy to fixing this place?"
Because even though Mars would be a first step, years later down the road after I'm long gone the sun is going to get larger and warmer and that first step to Mars could eventually lead to other steps beyond Mars and to a more safe location for future generations.
"The most common of the bugs is the Nvidia slowdown issue."
I have an Nvidia card in my machine and I noticed things getting slow at times. Here I thought it was because of Steam being attached to it and some weird way Steam handles games. I never had a problem with Fallout 3 but New Vegas my first thought was a Steam issue since Fallout 3 didn't have Steam with the copy I bought. What really rustled my jimmies was the fact that I saw no mention of Steam on the outside packaging till after buying the game and breaking the seals.
Needless to say between the lack of notification of Steam, the Nvidia slow down issue, and the changes to how Fallout 3 works in New Vegas I've stopped playing it and still play regular Fallout 3 more.
"Oh sure, you can run Wine or one of the commercial variants of Wine, but most people are just going to stick with Windows."
Especially when things like Wine and Flash wrestle for the sound system from the rest of the operating system and you have to dork around with Pulse Audio configurations while someone else tells you it works fine on their machine and they don't see your problem.
Don't give him to the Chinese either, they'd make millions of cheaper knock off Becks to sell back to our crazy people here in the USA. Then instead of one Glen Beck the whole country would be flooded with them.
When I can walk in to the scene, look at objects, pick them up, manipulate them, and put them back while having the characters react to that manipulation.
But as the sun ages and gets bigger and hotter it might be a good idea to put up a sun shade while we can. I'm sure there's some "extra time" we could buy in the future if we're still around with a sun screen.
The thought of racing a fighter jet with Superman powers would be kinda fun. The other fun thing would be when governments BS about stuff and they say "Prove it!" and 5 seconds later you return with the proof. *zip zip* "Ok, here's the nuclear warhead I just snagged off your missile you said you didn't have. Nice lead door by the way, E for effort."
I think the biggest problem I'd have is just flying around without a care in the world. My luck I'd be hitting power lines, trees, planes, etc because super powers can't fix clumsy. >_>
I'd want to build a simple muliplayer platform that lets people build and script their own game worlds. They could use stock resources or add their own, kinda like how NWN1 was done. The only thing people would have to download is the custom content packages to render the world properly. The game world itself would stream down to the client like in NWN1 so they didn't have to download that entirely as well.
Yeah there would be a lot of crap content out there, but it would start getting the creative juices flowing for people. Over time it could turn in to a nice easy starter package for game development and it would be open so people could just grab it and run it without paying mountains of money. I'd also have it running completely on all three platforms (Linux, Mac, Win).
It would have to be kept simple and easy to use so anyone could walk up to it and start using it. It'd also have to have the flexibility to do some pretty advanced things.
Oh well that's my wishful thinking post for the day and that is about as far in to game development as I'd want to get because I miss that kind of game platform with all the crap MMOs these days.

Put it on one of Jupiter or Saturn's moons at least if you want to hope for any chance of survival beyond Earth's life.

Really makes me wish I could fly.
It's going places I dream about while I'm stuck back here on this rock. Granted its traveling really slow but still it's getting there.

You must have a really awesome ad blocker program.

I'm tempted to buy a fog machine for my next job interview and put my code samples in the cloud it creates.
I'd go to Mars, not many people these days can say they lived and died on another planet.

Usually it isn't the asparagus that helps me feel better so much as the lady holding it.
I was really looking forward to trying out the Stargate MMO.

I don't believe they'll accept our toxic waste..

Yes and soon you'll see their troops move to take over other nations in gadget filled vans and wearing multi color helmets... oh wait!
When I can walk in to the scene, look at objects, pick them up, manipulate them, and put them back while having the characters react to that manipulation.
And yet with all that there still won't be enough spaces for student parking on college campuses.
But as the sun ages and gets bigger and hotter it might be a good idea to put up a sun shade while we can. I'm sure there's some "extra time" we could buy in the future if we're still around with a sun screen.
