Absolutely lovely to go completely offline and just attend a wedding over the weekend. I recommend the experience to anyone.

Going to a wedding all weekend this weekend, and honestly it's so nice to have an event that is all about hope for the future at this moment.

In Metal Gear Solid (1998), when fighting the Hind D helicopter, you're advised to keep track of its location by listening to the stereo panning. But if you've set "Sound" to "Monaural" in the Options menu, you get this exclusive addition. . .

Miyamoto on why he thinks it's more fun to have to restart levels after failure, 2009.

PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 56. Creator of Zelda & Mario. - Satoru Iwata, age 49. President of Nintendo. QUOTE: Miyamoto: Even if you slip up just before clearing the castle [in a Mario game], you'll be sent right back to the starting point. Maybe this is all due to my nasty streak! [laughs] But I think playing at that level of intensity is actually the most enjoyable way to play. Iwata: You think it's more fun to have to play from the start of the level again? Miyamoto: With platform games, only playing the difficult parts can really take it out of you. It feels good to play parts that you can breeze through as well. … Iwata: That's why rather than having lots of checkpoints where you can save your position, it's better to play through the easy part again. Miyamoto: Right. That's more pleasurable for the player.

Making some good progress on bot driver AI today, they are more aware of other cars around them and move their target "lanes" to avoid them. Also, man we need a new word for enemy AI that isn't "AI" since that one has been completely coopted now.

Work smart! (and hard)
I have been using splines extensively to decorate my levels, providing variety and detail!

Such a timesaver! Here's a demo of a few of the splines!

Vampires popping up to watch right as I was starting to miss watching Past Life every weekend, perfect for a break-from-reality Sunday. And I think I definitely picked the right POV to follow with smajor.

Now available online in english: Naoki Urasawa interviewing Katsuhiro Otomo about his work and his manga "Domu" during one hour.
"Manben" is such a great TV program.

Seeing a lot of people freaking out about Nintendo patents on my timeline, wait until they find out about EA holding the patent on dialogue wheels, or Sega's patent on a directional arrow that points to your destination.
