  • @iam3green: That is true of pretty much anything that is irreducibly complex i.e. Something that has been designed for a specific purpose. If one part of it (For example part of your code) is incorrect and not working then the unit as a whole is unlikely to function as expected if at all.

  • @eroticfishcake: I think there is a module called "Algorithms and something something". I can't remember when we do it though. Might not be the first year.

  • Who's to say that Valve can't release Left 4 Dead 2 AND continue supporting the original? In fact I thought that was exactly what they were doing. Isn't there an upcoming scenario for the original Left 4 Dead?  If I'm completely wrong, please, excuse my ignorance. I haven't been following all the Left 4 Dead developments as of late although this boycott thing made me laugh.

Looks to be a new expansion pack with a new, probably shorter, campign (I say this because the leaked acheivment list mentiones some new skulls I you get those in the Campaign)

So I just played the demo of Castle Crashers and although it was all right it just reminded me why I don't play these sorts of games. I can't keep myself playing when it's more or less the same thing for every level. Kill some dudes by hitting a couple of buttons repeatedly. This is the same reason I generally don't like Zombie shooters. Not only is it painfully repetitive but zombies may, quite possibly, be the most rubbish video game enemy ever conceived. For the most part they're usually slow and bumbling about and you can take them out before they get close to you or they're of the variety that just run and jump at you in some suicidal attempt to be mildly irritating.

Repetitive gameplay isn't a problem on it's own. It becomes a problem when the developers seemingly do little or nothing to counter balance it. Forcing the player to think about what they're doing, make strategic decisions is one way to distract from the repetitiveness. Another solution is to create interesting, unique scenarios around the core gameplay. Put the players in positions where they are doing things other than whatever your core gameplay happens to be (Shooting dudes, smashing dudes, slicing dudes... killing dudes in general). Most FPS's do a fairly good job of this giving you specific objectives to complete (Y'know other than shooting dudes, smashing dudes, slicing dudes... killing dudes in general).

I don't have a real conclusion to this so... the end.

Not so great (PC)
World of Warcraft is probably the most recognised title when it comes to MMORPGs. Ever since it's release in 2004 the number of paying players just keeps increasing where now there are millions of them.The only problem is that I just can't see the appeal. Sure the game world is ...

Cleared the first level in Demons' Souls. Oh man, I might get addicted. That was pretty satisfying.

I'm told by @waybright that Far Cry is now available on Netflix streaming. Regardless of what I might've said in TANG, do not watch Far Cry!

Sitting in the office while Ryan plays Braid. Feels like he just rewound time all the way back to 2008.

Has anyone found a clever solution to solve Django's lack of a "ready-to-go" signal? Something that works with both web and mgmt commands?
