A question to anyone who's used it... What is most impressive/immersive about it? The image itself and how its displayed in 3d, or the motion tracking with being able to look around a scene? Or maybe both combined? I was curious how it would be to play a FPS without all the head tracking...

Then perhaps more focus should be put on the parents? Maybe give tax breaks to the parent if their child does well in school. Base it off their GPA or something. Or perhaps require parents to take a parenting class, which again could be tied to tax breaks. But I guess that would backfire...

1. Selecting, and then the hosts action gives you more information. More information changes the probability. If you chose door 1, and the next round the host truthfully told you the car was behind door 2, then there is 100% chance the car is behind door 2. Or if he told you that the car is...

1. Host doesn't 'reset' the game. That's the point. 2. If you don't get to pick, your chance is 50/50. Choosing does not alter whats inside the box, it alters the probability of whats inside the box. 3. I'm assuming you mean 2 contestants and the host. They are 50/50 and switching does...

What? A set containing all tellers and all feminists would be the inclusive OR set, not AND. The question states Linda is tellerandfeminist, not tellerorfeminist. AandB is the intersection of 2 sets. Since an intersecting set is a subset, 2 is in fact a subset of 1. Or did I miss something...

It was so obvious to me that the answer is 1), but knowing it was a trick question, I had to google it to see what the 'gotcha' was, since I had to be wrong to answer it so fast.... Only to find that the answer is 1). I really don't know anyone could possibly answer 2). Something more general...

Its the probability of a car being behind a door, not the probability that you will win in round 1. Understand the difference and perhaps it will make more sense. Yes in round 2 you only have 2 choices, so 50/50, but whatsbehindthe doors is NOT 50/50. Again, understand the difference between...

The problem is what I bolded. When you 'choose' a door in round 1, that is a door the host cannot choose. So you limited the set he could choose from when you chose in round 1. Your first choice then obviouslydoesmatter.

If you don't switch in round 2, you essentially discarded the 2nd round and went with your initial pick. So, the same thing.

It doesn't matter. If your going to count each goat as a different goat,(Goat1 and Goat2), then you'll need to account for that in your winning. So for wins you'll have to add: A is car, B & C are goats. Host shows B. You switch and lose. (1/6 of the time) A is car, B & C are goats. Host...

Wired had anarticleabout this stuff many years ago (2008) explaining basically that. Its a good read about the freemium market, if you have time.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but I picked up 'The Swapper' during the summer sale and just finished it, and I must say its a pretty amazing indie game. Kind of expensive at $15, only about 2 to 3 hours of playtime if you don't rush things, but if you happen to see it on sale, i'd say its...

The AI doesn't have to be super advanced. Its the interaction with its environment given some simple rules that creates emergent content, or simulates AI. Basically you lay the groundwork and see what comes of it. Googlemultiagentsystems if your interested.

From 2 pages ago from Tad10: That got me thinking... What if EQN:L *IS* the end goal here? And EQN is simply the test server for their AI / combat engine? Think about it. They start with EQN:L and have everyone start building the world. Meanwhile they open up EQN which is a more controlled...

I have a different theory about the 1 starting city. What do you think 90% of the population is going to do upon first playing this game? Thats right, start digging a hole in the first patch of ground they see, or start wrecking any building in a 2 mile radius just because they can. So, if...

I voted for general, but actually think it should be in an EQNext subforum in MMO General.

This. I leave for a few hours and I have 6 pages to catch up on. Need subforum and split into topics.

I'm waiting for more than just that to be recreated...

I completely agree but I think there can be a middle ground. Maybe the shops that are open during the day give the best deals, but if you must sell now, you can go to the local bar that's open all night, or the shady 24 hour pawn shop, but you will get a much reduced return on your goods...

Coming in way late to this party, but I will say I'm very excited. And they have my money if for no other reason than I want to support them for trying something different and attempting to push the envelope in many ways. I think I'm just as excited about Landmark being a free AAA Minecraft...

Picked up a lot of side scrollers, and some other random stuff. Most expensive was Bioshock Infinite: - Bastion - Bioshock - Crysis 2 - Deadlight - Dungeon Defenders - Dust - Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon - Fez - Magika - Mark of the Ninja - Rayman Origins - Sanctum 2 - Serious Sam 3...

Well this being the last day of the sale I think I'm done. Total loot: 21 games for the price of 2 full priced console games (~$120). Now I just have to find time to play them all....

You know, its hard to complain about the Steam sales.... but I still cant help but feel ripped off when I buy something one day for 50% off, then 2 days later its >75% off. With their flash sales and daily sales, its almost a damn gambling game in itself to find the best deals on there.

Don't really want to derail, but to go along with the controller topic... I'd like to play all the games I bought through Steam on my TV, but the TV is in a different room than my PC. Short of running an HDMI cable 30+ feet, does anyone have any recommendations/idea's on how best I could...

put them on my wishlist hoping for a flash sale, if not I'll pick em up for $10 at the end of the week.

Been in kind of a 2D game kick lately and picked up: Deadlight, Dust, The Swapper, and Terraria. Anyone have any other recommendations of metroid/sotn type 2D games? I saw Cave Story for ~$2.50. But not sure...

Is Skyrim worth it at $20 if I wasn't such a fan of Oblivion?

Yea I think your right on the DH. Maybe I had too many idea's rolled into one in that post, but my point was that I can survive and kill mobs at MP10 with the barb, where the DH can't even make it past MP4. With I believe better gear. Putting the barb on MP4 is a slaughter all around and WAY...

Leveling up a WW Barb honestly killed my desire to play this game. I don't think my gear is anything great, but I can run through MP10 just spinning along as long as I avoid names. Takes forever but w/e. My DH was way more fun, but not nearly as efficient. I think I only ever made it up to...

I don't know their ultimate plan of course, but from what I read.... I like the idea of their Player Studio, but I feel it would be better if it were more streamlined into the game and more accessible to the average player. As it is now I have neither the time nor the desire to learn 3d...

Already own BL2 and don't care for NBA, but xcom + bioshock for $30 a piece is tempting...

Thanks. I know games purchased *through* steam work like that, I was just curious how it worked for GMG bought games.

Dumb question, but my google fu is weak. If I buy a game on GMG, and it gives me a steam key to d/l and activate the game, is that game linked to my steam account for download forever? Like if I get a new PC, i'll be able to re-d/l it through steam?

TBH (if the rumors are true), the no-hard faction thing has me quite excited, and was really one of the things I LOVED about the original EQ. With few exceptions, you could work on your faction and become friendly with any race, even enemies. Working hard to not be KOS in cities was an...

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/8953696 Their #1 issue IMO is still boring loot. It really doesn't matter if they change the range of what affixes can roll. You'll get a few minor upgrades quickly, then be right where you were. As long as your class relies on a single stat or 2 where the...

After that beating I think they just skipped out of town.

Fucking lol.

Just saw this and will say its probably my favorite... although its been a long while since I've seen the first one, so might have to rewatch that before making my final call. Thought this movie had a nice blend of everything, even if some of the action was over the top^2. I actually thought...

Its pretty obvious really. D3 RMAH was the beta test to see if maybe an MMO could be based off such a model. And the results are in...Blizzard Admits Diablo-III Auction House Was a Mistake
