December 21, 2011December 21, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on Artificial Intelligence for Games errata

This year I am teaching Artificial Intelligence for Games. I grabbed some book PDFs from the Internet (yes, sorry, it would be impossible to buy all the books to choose one, and libraries around doesn’t have books in this thematic) and I chose a pair of books to buy. One of them is this Artificial […]

December 18, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on Lion, and some more impressions

And here I am, back on my comments on Lion. First, I will let you know that the things that I am liking more in this new machine are not related with the operating system itself, but different approaches I am taking, like the usage of homebrew for installing UNIX software. Also, the hardware makes […]

The Last Airbender (2010)

The idea is great, and I wonder why there isn’t a great game with this idea already available. Of course Diablo has some similarities, but the idea of the four main elements is not there. But then, the movie could be much better with the same story behind. There are lots of slow (or even, […]

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

November 7, 2011November 7, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

  Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Crazy movie. One thing for sure, it is original (for what I’ve seen). Nice graphics/special effects. A different way of recording, with scenes merged in interesting ways. Great to see the Batman-like sounds written all around. Cool jokes. Fun to watch. Oh, and I do that same thing with […]

The world has 13 countries…

November 2, 2011November 2, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on The world has 13 countries…

  Activision developers (web site developers) need some geography classes. First, here isn’t a country named “Asia Pacific”, second, there are much more than 13 countries in the world. I refused to click on any of these buttons. Some websites add a “rest of the world” or “rest of Europe” button. That is bad already, […]
