    Preview: Fable 3

    Sounds like it could be good. I'll just go in with no expectations and enjoy it for what it is. And by the way Susan. Your question about the chickens? That's going back to the first Fable in which they basically made an entire mini-game out of kicking chickens. Why they did that I can't...

    LoadingReadyRun: A Stitch In Time

    Alright, here's how it really happened. E1 invents watch. E1 goes to future and buys pair of sunglasses. E1, now E2, goes back in time and gets shot, losing his sunglasses along the way, becoming E3. Then E3 time jumps to the time when E2 is getting his sunglasses. E2 freaks out and refuses to...

    I Hit It With My Axe: Episode 11: You Guys Got Totally Paralyzed

    First episode I've watched since about five or six. Stopped watching because the filming style made it hard to watch, but it's really improved. Great job guys! I'm glad to see you're getting your show off the ground.

    LoadingReadyRun: Installation Anxiety 2010

    Well, I was hoping to see something new this week, but I understand if you were a little too busy to come up with a new concept. Still an excellent video and the quality is indeed better. I do miss Paul's beard though...

    LoadingReadyRun: Scientist's Rebuttal to ICP

    You know... a lot of people dislike rap in its current form. Just because they say they dislike rap doesn't mean that they dislike all African Americans. That's like saying that because you don't like Manischewitz wine (which most jews can't stand) you don't like Jews. It just doesn't hold up to...

    A View From The Road: The Perfect Subscription

    I'm reticent to just say I like this model, but I won't flat out say no to it either. The reason people get uppity about subscriptions is because paying little payments over time means you pay more in the long run. If they can make it so that you pay the same amount in the long run, it doesn't...

    On the Ball: Man Versus Machine

    Unless the programmer cheated and programmed the AI to query the hidden location of enemy units and base decisions on that. >.>

    On the Ball: Man Versus Machine

    This *points up* though with one exception: Human vs. Machine matches make for great spectator events, at least the first time it's done. Once it's established that one can consistently beat the other with little to no difficulty it goes right back to Human vs. Human and maybe Machine vs...

    On the Ball: Man Versus Machine

    Yes, but the "nuke rush" strategy would be incredibly easy to program into an AI. As far as I could tell from your video, the nuke rush didn't really require that you react too much to what the enemy does. You build your nuke and ghost as fast as you can along with your science vessel and a few...

    On the Ball: Man Versus Machine

    Yes, you can make an AI that can beat any human player. Yes, you can make an AI that can nuke rush people. Does that ruin starcraft for non-AI competitors? Not really. Trying to say that an AI would ruin the 'sport' of starcraft is like saying that the invention of the car would forever obsolete...

    Connectivity

    Actually, there is some consequence for running off and doing side-quests between the second to last story mission and the last one. I've played it through twice now and got a different ending the second time, when I rushed right into the last mission instead of dawdling around and doing...

    Escape to the Movies: Special: Bond Girls

    Fairly decent analysis of the bond girl phenomenon. A little too dismissive of the new Bond movies in my opinion, but I won't try to pretend that my opinion is the only one that matters. *glares at 8-bit_Jack* Quantom of Solace was a bland attempt to build on Casino Royale, but Casino Royale was...

    Escape to the Movies: G.I. Joe - The Rise of Cobra

    The last two James Bond movies were masterpieces, showing us that we can have both good action AND good plot in the same movie despite what was previously believed. If you think a shitty action film with no plot can beat those films you are sadly mistaken. I'm not saying it's not good, but I can...
