Sigma 7

They should make ambidextrous mice - while keeping them ergonomic.

Yeah, removing LAN capability is bad.

But Dedicated Servers requires changing the paradigm of the C&C series, unless you just use them as a matchmaking service.

Jeopardy, since it's one of the few gameshows that isn't based around pure chance.

Those screenshots look nice, but I'll see more from the demo.

Flair is twice as dangerous as a special infected; he has twice as many hitpoints.

Quebec had trouble with enough fly-by-night "contests" and lotteries that they require a license to do those sort of things. The paperwork required is tenuous and much greater than what a fly-by-night operator would want to do in their limited time frame.

Basically, most lotteries available in that province are through Loto-Quebec

Keep. As shown in the photo, it's decoration and it works.

The main problem with MIDIs is that they are different depending on the player used. (e.g. The midi used in Descent may sound great in-game, but not as well in WMP or Winamp.)

I tended to like the Impulse Tracker files used within the Unreal engine - while the files are larger, it will sound the same regardless of where it's played (although a player for it isn't as common.)

1. Gamers don't just want to play, they want to win. If the computer is too smart, the players won't enjoy the game. You want to play against advanced AI, challenge Deep Blue. Good luck beating it though.


Quick question: Have you played a game with an AI players so simple that you feel completely bored with the game? For example, Red Alert 2 - where you can fight against 7 AI players and win without problem. As proof: Build one prism tank to wipe out the enemy base - a tactic that a human player can counter by defending with one regular tank.

The correct solution is found in UT2004, which has eight gradual difficulty settings. The lowest is dead simple, the middle ones become a threat, and the highest ones simulate online play with perfectly accurrate snap-shots.

#19:
Easy or "regular" sudoku puzzles are menial, since they are designed in a way where you can identify a location of a number simply because the other cells are directly covered by such a number.

This samauri sudoku is merely five sudokus overlayed. The trick is to attack the corners of the middle sudoku in order to isolate all five sudokus from eachother - once you've done that, you merely have four independant sudokus to solve (in case of the Oct 15, 2006 puzzle, the center one can be solved without having to mark the corner segments.)

If the puzzle isn't hard to begin with, making it larger only makes it longer and/or intimidating rather than more difficult. Hunting down that key to advance the puzzle isn't fun in video games, and isn't fun with sudokus either.

For reference, there's a sudoku solver shown here: http://www.scanraid.com/sudoku.htm
If it solves sudokus without having to enter the naked pairs/triples, then the sudoku was too easy. While you will need to manually enter information inferred from the corners, it solved the center puzzle without issue.
