    Yeah but it only takes one nazi mod to infract Hodj and Quaid for continuing their infinite argument to put it back.

    Holy shit you guys really want to fuck each other today. The president of Sony said they were going to put it in. If that's good enough for you, fine. If that's not good enough for you, fine. There's no need to argue about it, especially in the impotent way you guys are doing it.

    Sounds like Q3 for MS and Q4 for Sony would work well, right?

    Good point. What do you guys think? Q3 or Q4? Q4 is my preference.

    Yeah that's why I'm thinking we'll have a good estimate by the end of January 2014. I kind of want to run a second, longer contest that lasts until January 2015 just because that's a more realistic time period to determine who wins the first year of the console wars.

    It's not really aobut what's fair to the manufacturer, I just think it'd be better to only consider the US since most of us live here. Including the world would increase the error in our predictions too much.

    Put a cap on the # of flips you get and the game could be very profitable for casinos. It's a very basic gambling game though, and the odds are so plain that people would be harder to fool into various gambler's fallacies. For those that follow NFL you'll know the NFC won 14 straight coin...

    hahaha. If people are interested I'll put up terms tomorrow and close entries before the ps4 launch. My initial thought is PS4 vs Xbone sales in US only.

    Yeah but they did preside over one of the most popular trilogies in gaming history so it's not like they're taking a lot of heat from EA over the ending. The truth is probably that they stood upon the shoulders of talented writers, developers and artists and shit only sucked when those talented...

    We'll see. The problem with models created for this is that there are very few data points to base your models on. I don't remember the release dates but as far as huge console releases within the same year what is there? Either way trying to model what will get better sales is probably bullshit.

    As far as I know it's a tech demo and has a driving simulator you can try. I haven't heard that they are in talks with any car simulators but I feel like soft physics is tech that's long overdue. I think part of the reason it's been held back is because for driving games it probably doesn't add...

    Because Casey Hudson and Mac Walters are the project director and lead writers? They're the bosses when it comes to how the game ends. Who knows how increasingly isolated they got with their dumbass ideas and wanted to 'go rogue' just to force their shitty ideas into the product.

    We've had this argument before it seems like a chicken and an egg problem to me. The SteamBox needs games to attract people to it and needs people to attract games to it. I think making the right choices for an attract platform, spending the money and effort required to attract developers and...

    I couldn't help myself: Note that those win counts are over all ten games. So in one game that guy that won 24 times skewed the whole fucking result a bunch. If he didn't win that time it'd be way over. Another cool observations that are intuitive if you think about it is each win count is...

    Plus the PS4 uses opengl. Hopefully that alignment makes it easy to make games run natively on SteamOS, but I doubt it'll be that easy.

    I ran it 100000000 times (literally, check out the while(i<100000000) { } statement, that's C++ code for "Run this shit 100000000 times bro" as long as you're increasing i each time it goes through.)

    Ok that makes sense. My perception of HFT was that we'd see Joe start buying a basket of stocks on Wed, so we'd buy the stocks he wanted before him and then sell it to him at a slightly higher price. This would make Joe pay more for his stock.
