will there be another one next term? Missed this one due to being away on Coop term.

Interesting that the current example is Skyrim. Which is really just the classical D+D game with great graphics.

Personally I found the more impressive growth of games to be the widespread acceptance of gaming with Wii/Kinect and mobile gaming.

Hi, just signed up to try your website.

2 comments: 1) the text box does not display underscore (_). A lot of emails contains _ character, so it could confuse ppl.

2) You should implement a 404 page. instead of the current error page when you go to thislooksgood.com/[xx]

can someone do a TL:DR on this please?

even with no lock out. When will someone have my phone for over 10 minutes without me noticing? Especially if I'm out shopping, I'll be looking at my phone fairly often.

is this once instance where they finally switch from "aiming for perfect" to "done is better than perfect"?

I heard about OnLive two years ago when they presented at E3. Glad to see their product is actually out and they're pushing hard to get it adapted. I'm interested to take up this offer just to test out the response time.

Multi-tasking! Programming isnt really something you can multi task, but I'm only watching forthe commercials and half time show.

Yep, tried in FF4 and Chrome. Both gets invalid request.

read through some of the wiki. Guess I'll jump into the irc channel this weekend and ask questions as I go? Will people assign specific test/task to me or do I just pick a few?

Too often, I really should focus more on doing stuff rather than reading about others doing their stuff.

sounds interesting! I'll drop by sometime.

I'm also getting a macbook Pro soon (coming from Windows/Ubuntu background). Looking forward to trying TextMate and comparing that with Eclipse (or maybe it will replace Notepad++ as a quick all purpose edit tool). Most of all looking forward to Garage Band!

Note: Also switching from an Android phone to the iPhone 4. Anyway heads up/ awesome app suggestions?

that's actually a good point. I often visit Chinese websites and I notice that many either copies the design of whatever service they were inspired by (i.e Youku v.s Youtube) or stick to a very simple tons of links with white background style.

Although Chinese characters are significantly more complex when compared to the 26 letters in English, thus web designers had to take different considerations for readability.

In a straight up game, if the human plays standard then the computer will have a pretty good chance.

The main issue is stracraft is pretty complex and if the computer is predictable, a human can just exploit that for easy victory. (always 6 pooling for example)

Just a note on your image file extension. It doesn't accept .tif (only .tiff). Some programs will save it as *.tif by default.

Might want to check other possible formats too.
