Steam is Coming to Mac

“We are treating the Mac as a tier-1 platform so all of our future games will release simultaneously on Windows, Mac and the Xbox 360,” Cook said. “Updates for the Mac will be available simultaneously with the Windows updates. Furthermore, Mac and Windows players will be part of the same multiplayer universe, sharing servers, lobbies and so forth. We fully support a heterogeneous mix of servers and clients. The first Mac Steam client will be the new generation currently in beta testing on Windows.”

What a great news from Steam, the awesome gaming platform.

I've been contemplating for quite some time whether to install a Windows OS or not, just to give Steam a try. It's coming to Mac soon, time to actually exploit my MacBook Pro graphic processing power.

Suicide Linux

Any time - any time - you type any remotely incorrect command, the interpreter creatively resolves it into "rm -rf /" and wipes your hard drive.

A typo, and BOOM, game over.

The Controversial Assassin's Creed 2 DRM

the reality was going to be much worse than what opponents to DRM had feared: the game requires an always-on 'Net connection and constant communication with the home server. If your connection is dropped, the game kicks you out, and you lose any progress you had made since your last save.

I guess Ubisoft is trying to enforce Apple-ish control over their contents, without providing Apple-ish convenience to its users.

If the future of video games DRM is like that, WE ARE DOOMED!

First Person Tetris

I stumbled into a very interesting game.

First, you will get dizzy. After a while, you'll get used to it. Then, you don't want to play a normal tetris anymore.

Don't forget to turn up your speaker, the soundtrack is awesome!

Go try it there: http://firstpersontetris.com/

Mario AI Competition 2009

This competition is about learning, or otherwise developing, the best controller (agent) for a version of Super Mario Bros. The controller's job is to win as many levels (of increasing difficulty) as possible.

This is awesome! Kinda reminds me of Project Hoshimi (in Imagine Cup, now discontinued I think).

I want to

My video game and comic book driven wishes:
  1. Teleport, like these people . Best transportation i can think of.
  2. Travel the world, with these fascinating transportation .
  3. Save and load my life, just in case. If it's not possible, just a simple checkpoint would do.
  4. Have unlimited health just by entering FFFF to 801DF9F1 (hint: gameshark).
  5. Be spawned again after my death, with full health, and a handgun, and some money.
  6. Kill rats, worms (or any other small animals) and get some money from those.
  7. Carry unlimited amount of stuffs, like 99 X-potions , 3 broadswords, and so on.
  8. Put an dragon inside a ball, like Pokemon. And talk to it, ride it, sell it for gold, etc.
  9. Shoot energy balls from my hands, hadouken.
  10. Sort blocks of things on my table in a line and suddenly those things disappear, good for reducing trash.
I know, life's beautiful the way it is. So, I'll just leave you with this nice screenshot of a (almost) realistic game. Picture taken from wikipedia.
