Played it ages ago, but I think the adaption was too slow.

It took me hours just to teach my guys how to go around walls.

Wow, it feels like christmas and summer vacation already at once. Three blog-posts in two days, plus more, recent ones, compared to one-ish in twelve months.

That, and every post kind of ... renews, no, intensifies my lugaru-urges.

Invertin means "adaptation".

Still, realtime positional audio has a long way to go in games.

To make that point perfectly clear, I advise you to put on some stereo headphones, go to this site (found on GAF) and listen to those mp3's. It's crazy.

Imagine having such a perfect immersion in a game like DOOM 3. You'd shit your pants tenfold.

dam, ones woman thing (eg: Mother/wife) would hate to clean those folds

That's absolutely incredible. That'd make more difference to the gaming experience than practically any possible graphics improvement.

Dude, I love the video with the huge explosion. You hear that initial ground shock wave like a half second right before the blast.. Oh man, I had never noticed that before. That's so awesome.

Also the Doppler effect was really sick, and the sound waves hitting objects and getting muffled in the speakers. Dude, and I loved the directional occlusion. Some games just lower the volume when you are looking away from something (Oblivion is worse because you have to face sideways towards something in order to hear it better, that's ridicules), and they only have a real change in sounds when extremely left and extremely right. This one tweaks the sound, tweaks the volume, takes into account if you're above, or below, facing any direction, it's so much more advanced than any game I've ever heard.


Oh and by the way, It's June so are you done with college yet David?

Yes, I am just getting settled into Berkeley. Also, WWDC next week!

I thought you should be aware that some spammer has fucked up the front page

At first glance I thought David switched Industry to Drugs... lol

And it seems to have affected the front page and the RSS feed.

The Legth Drug companys will go to to sell that shit...
You'ed think there would be enough desprate people who need an errection, or want a longer slong. Why would a Seventeen year old need errection pills when he can get an errection, and mutilate some one enough as it is?

I'm guessing that you've never.. "mutilated" somebody, eh?

Mutilating someone is harder than it looks.

I know. I've tried.

Well. Not yet. Not really.

Only burning.

Seriously though muscle, human flesh and bone are very hard to get through without a really sharp knife.

Meaning not a butter knife.

You need a better knife, not a butter knife, people!

Also, I can't understand you, Colicedus.

…well, more than normally, anyway… (Lol, bad grammar!)
