He'll find a way to r00fle it. Don't worry.

I'm not too surprised. He ended up hurting them IMO.

At least I have a link, rather than your vague IBM guy that you write quotes down from, but cannot find on the internet anywhere. Wouldn't you visit the same site? In any case, he said "There's no final hardware specs on any of the systems [at the time of this interview]" right after your line. Despite just saying that, he still had no problems stating that "Sony will have more processing power. There's no question about that" on the very next line. The stuff about "I don't think any of us are really ready to say for sure" is about the Playstation 3 being as a total package more powerful than the 360, which will include a plethora of other things that you usually like to mention. Processing power alone, he states unabashedly Playstation 3. Let me replay the scene for you here. The debacle wasn't that professionals like 64-bit. You stated here: I responded here To which you responded here (which wasn't an answer to my question): To which I responded here: You: BTW this is your reference to an IBM tech, but was not the debacle that I was referring to. My response Your reply. (and this was the pooch screw) was "Preservation of 14 decimal digits over 7." to which I point out how that is not the case here. I then poked fun at you by using "numbers" in quotes to which you tried to defend yourself by saying that "the numbers word was directly relating to benchmarks ". Looking back, you said "one reason Cell isn't that popular in the "professional" fields" because " they usually require 64-bit precision at the very least". Were you trying to say that they needed benchmarks that were 64 bits precise here? Couple that in with you thinking that Coppermine Celerons and Pentium 3s are different microprocessors (and continuing to state that the "hybrid" is more Celeron than P3, despite it having performance numbers closer to a P3). I'm curious what your background is on AI. Particularly ones that let you state specific things such as "FPU performance in AI is a moot subject, as the bulk, and in most cases ALL of the AI is done using logic." I'm also curious....how would you define logic in AI?

At the very least a virus is comparable...or maybe more a trojan.

Lemme dig up that interview with EA...... http://www.gamespy.com/articles/634/634928p4.html Unless you're implying that EA is not a third party developer ^_^ Furthermore, it's so obvious to him that he says "no question about it." Considering your debacle over why 64-bit is useful to workstation computers, I wouldn't consider you to be someone that can claim to be an authority on anything. The stuff that you state is easy to find on any XBOX site, which certainly isn't the end all be all of objectivity.

The Bloodlines radio station was great too!

It was more of a Metaphor.... And a bad one at that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Analogy: a

A close one between Luke and Obi-Wan, but I picked Obi-Wan in the end.

Trust me, you certainly don't need the short light saber. All of my dual wield combos use normal light sabers in both hands. The fact that your off hand has -2 for its To-Hit makes virtually no difference...you'll still chop things to pieces and if you have 14 Strength or Dexterity (with lightsaber finesse) you'll cover that -2 To Hit anyways. I also felt the short sabers looked silly. The double normal saber is also more damaging.

It doesn't really matter. With Master Speed you'll get 5 attacks with both double blade combinations, which usually kills everything in a single hit anyways.

I would wager they are. Statistical math is big, being that processors are getting more and more powerful, and such things as the graphics cards unloading resources off of the CPU.

"yeaaaah whoooooooooooo do you looooooooooooooooove?"

Adult products...like murder simulators?

Apple's G5? It is out.

Not to mention he went through the trouble of explicitly stating that he's only interested in XBOX gaming in his forum profile.

Apparently the cap for this year works well for the Oilers, as it's pretty much the unofficial cap they imposed on themselves in the preceding years.

Vader and his black visage is the epitome of all evil!!!

Exactly why I'm auditting my Linear Algebra class. I took it 5 years ago and in my Stats class, when we went onto Markov Chains I needed to give myself a refresher crash course :D

I wouldn't be adverse to QA myself. Although I don't know if Bioware is hiring for QA (or even has QA). If my friend gets hired, I'll have him put in a good word for me :D Although by that time I'll hopefully be in my internship, so QA would not really be worth my time, and I'll be working in a more programming specific field.

I could never finish the Aliens vs Predator games. There's something about the facehuggers that freak the shyte out of me, and once I get to them I can't really go on.

Err, I am teh suck at formal dancing.

I disagree. Many average gamers seemed to really like KOTOR. In fact, many have mentioned that it was their gateway into the world of RPGs. And KOTOR also featured choice. Granted, not everyone is going to like a game like Planescape: Torment, which is very story intensive and very dialogue heavy. And I think that if a game does a good job of making a story that allows choice, then the choices will seem transparent IMO.

I'd imagine the SS troopers also spent time on Hitler's new contraption...the "murder simulator"

He had no shortage of help at least.

My favourite so far. So true, so true.
