http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pk3QDC84Go Anyone played it? Seems like a pretty cool idea to combine realistic data into a game. I was finally able to beat it, but it was hard as hell. The beta seems pretty prone to series of catastrophes (i.e. rising emissions leads to famine, which leads to recession, which requires you to reduce environmental programs, leading to rising emissions....) that you can't avoid. I won, but only after having a third of the world starve to death .
Good job environmentalist douchebags, instead of spending time actually trying to invent solutions for these problems, like alternative energy, better farming and birth control, you've wasted hundreds of manhours making a fucking game to tell us how bad we humans are.
Well Empty, some people are better at making games then doing important things like that, so they make games instead... except for the scientist who helped, she has no excuse.
There's a certain someone harping on about global warming in the US that I would like to FOAD. Sick of seeing so much crap about this. The water ISN'T going to rise 1,000 feet. God damn moron... As for games on global warming, looks kinda crappy...
*Kane made a loud *clang* sound as his jaw dropped on the floor* WTF Global warming will decrease ENGRISH SKILLZ q.q One thing you should reaaally never do as a game designer is fucking up the winning screen, it's like the dev's slapping his cock into the customers face
Singularity = black hole... Now I'm not saying it's a downgrade from humanity, but it's unrelated to robots. Beep.
No, singularity = point at which established models of behaviour fail. Black holes are an example of a singularity, as is the technological singularity. Being the point at which AI becomes more intelligent than humans and technological development becomes exponentially fast. Transhumanism being one of the few ideas I am actually interested in, I know a bit about it.
