I can vouch for Max Payne's variable AI working. I played the game through once and thought "This is fantastic." So I decided to play the game through again. The first level was a breeze. I single shot to the headed every single enemy.
Then, next level, all hell broke loose. The enemies were rolling, took at least four shots each, ducked bullets, hid behind things, shot back very accurately.. they couldn't kill me but I ran out of ammo quick. I never made it past the second level because the AI had jacked up to the highest level.
If I recall correctly, when you die on a level it lowers the AI's abilities just in case it had them too high.
I don't care if they do blend the two together. Now that I've seen the screen shots, I want to -use- their latest version. That's saying a lot from a Debian user!
On a TV show called 'Life Support' we have here in Australia, they put forward a really good way to make money off the internet.
Basically, what you do is set up a website with some pictures of yourself as a 6 year old. All the pedaphiles will begin to email you and want to meet you.
Once you've reeled in a pedaphile, write back saying "My parents don't love me. They won't by me a Playstation 2. How will I know you love me?".
At this point, Mr. Pedaphile will send you a playstation 2 so that you'll meet him. You then sell the new playstation2 on Ebay.
Another up-side is that the pedaphiles usually send you a CD full of hard core porn. You'll be the envy of all your sick-friends with the collection you'll make.
Vizzini: So it is down to you, and it is down to me.. if you wish her dead, bu all means keep moving forward.
Man in black: Let me explain...
Vizzini: There's nothing to explain. You're trying to kidnap what I have rightfully stolen.
Man in black: But if there can be no arrangement, then we are at an impasse.
Vizzini: I'm afraid so. I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains.
Man in black: You're that smart?
Vizzini: Let me put it this way: Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Man in black: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons!
Man in black: really! In that case, I challenge you to a battle of wits.
Vizzini: For the pricness? To the death? I accept!
Heh, I don't know about everybody else. But I really enjoyed the Futurama episode where Fry wished life were more like a computer game.
Just in case any body was wondering, the little backwards speaking monster fellow said "Where can a guy get some pants around here".
Well, some real experience here. We've designed and built many frameworks in our company. I'll take a smaller set of four frameworks when we were learning XP. The two that were done with XP turned out wonderful and haven't failed us for a year and a half now, continueing to get more and more powerful as time goes by. The two that were designed down to the minutest details turned out to be horrible systems. We want to trash them and get rid of them - but of course, that's hard to do now that they exist. They don't 'evolve'.. they just sit there stagnant and smelly like.
This isn't an outright ban. You see, when you have beaurocracy, they create procedures. If you try to sell something without going through the proper procedures they get upset.
Alls the gaming companies had to do was go through the right procedures and have the games classified and everything would have been alright.
But because they didn't, now they have to wait for the OFLC to get around to classifying it in their own time.
It's a bit like coding. If you don't comment your change the merge and build manager will send it back to you. You have to follow the procedures.

Take that nasty cheerleaders from highschool!
Do you really think they'll be able to handle a cube? More like the "Blue Random Polygon of Death"

As a prestigious newscaster, I could be valueable for rounding up more of my kind to work in the underground sugar mines.

This way, it can /. itself trying to replicate itself across the planet.
