    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I don't have the link handy, but one person has gone a bit over 900 now. Pretty sure it's a 24/7 group effort.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    When Joff gave his last twitch, my mother yelled "YAY!" and gave a little clap. Then started giggling. Thought she was going to get physically ill at the Red Wedding. Angry for weeks, still a bit mad. Can't wait for the appearance of Ms. Dead Caitlin. Me mum's 81 yrs old. She rocks.

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    True. But with this change, you'd think there'd be some other kind of safeguard in place, considering that you can't spend the points after filling up on autogrant. Anyway... strangeness update: clicked aa back to *off* and had a power outage for a few mins right after. Logged back in and...

    Do not do the following: /resetaa /click auto-grant /click aa *on* zone Just lost hundreds of AA pts because there was nothing to spend them on. Minor oversight, I'm sure.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    @Oloh: I think I remember you describing that combat as "like ice skating." It was interesting. My main complaint about it was that you had to be so focused on the queue bar that that was all the game screen you actually saw during combat. Also, it would drive the 'twitchers' absolutely...

    What Dumar, Popdeath, and mkopec said. I think they summed it up quite well.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    The only thing that bothers me is the tells/telegraph stuff. "Farming" the UI during fights is bad enough. The rest all sounds good. But... really need a Burned Woods zone whose entrance location changes monthly. And a sow-type spell has the particle effect on the recipient of a raining...

    No Man's Sky

    Getting a bit of an Elite vibe from this, which is not a bad thing. Spent a ton of time in that procedural gen'd game. Can't wait for some real info.

    Nightwish - new concert vid

    Yeah, I'm pretty impressed by Floor. She does justice to both old and new songs, plus really opens it up for Tuomas in future compositions. Can't wait to see what they'll come up with. Great stage presence, too.

    Ninja: Shadow Of A Tear

    Kane Kosugi? Nice. I remember when he was like 2' tall. Sho's movies were camp, but still popcorn-fun. This def looks like a revisit of those. Adkins is a hugely talented martial artist and even if the movie is only a showcase for him busting up bad guys, I'm in for the ride.

    re AI: I haven't had opportunity yet to finish Mark's book on Behavioral Mathematics, but if, and it's a big IF, what I've read so far is what's actually behind the AI/SB, then we could see something that hasn't yet been seen in an MMO. This is not scripting nor a db of pre-defined actions...

    Too bad I was born 30 years too early. Who knows what could have been? Now, I'm old and atrophied, calcified brane, not even zombies will fraternize with me.

    Thanks for the links, Tad. I've scavenged a copy of Marks' bookBehavioral Mathematics for Game AIand just judging by the chapter headings, the AI field has changed quite a bit from my university days. Reading it now and, although the book seem to be more of an inclusive look at current AI...

    Does anyone know (or have a link) about the underlying software tech for the AI? From expert systems to neural nets, etc., a lot of ai tech has been old hat for decades. Expert Sys can simulate a dynamic mode but quickly grow unwieldy. Neural are/were ok for limited scope projects. My...

    What did you just read?

    Just ran through about a dozen Clive Cussler books. Nothing highly literary, but fun and easy reads. Suprised there hasn't been more movies made of his stuff. The one that was (Sahara?) was pretty damn dismal, but there's some great adventure in his books. Think I'll dig out some David...
