I'm using Chrome running on windows 7. I was watching "ken Levine Explains the Factions at War in Bioshock: Infinite" and up next on the auto-player was "Giantbomb Happy Hour: 6/17/11". Without doing anything, the player skipped right to the happyhour once Ken Levines video was done. I can re-create this over and over without a problem.

True, but like Icil said, Guitar Hero/Rock Band got people to pick up real guitars, and Forza made me start to follow auto racing (ALMS and F1 NOT Nascar) religiously.

Good point. I'm reminded of how the Guitar Hero/Rock Band franchise boom that happened these last few years brought tons of newcomers to music shops to learn instruments for the first time. I'd bet that if it's executed well, some really great lessons/concepts could be taught (or encouraged would be a softer word) through video games. "
Definitely. Just not in the way she was presenting it, because no game that boasts "Solve World Hunger!" on the cover will ever sell. A game that boast that more subtly, however, might.

Yeah, I was about to turn it off because of that, but she's got a point to make. People don't get invited to talk at TED if they don't have something good to say.

Is it possible to beat the sequence mode co-op, and if so can you give me some strategies (the later levels really fuck us over)?

Why do I not have the option of creating a new development company? Is it just me? It's a pretty obscure company, they developed the game B.A.S.E. and I think they deserve recognition.


Edit: I just hit the wrong button.
