These are well done.

The Uncanny Valley

Every once in awhile I find myself describing this concept to people. This presentation does a good job of it.

As GPU’s become more and more flexible, it’s expected that graphics APIs will go away. Flexibility in the rendering pipeline will be a benefit whether you are pursuing photo-realism or stylization.

Either way I’m excited to see what everyone comes up with next.

Seriously, watch this right now. It gets pulled down Sunday evening.

I’m a sucker for cool graphs. You film people will probably like this one.

Make sure you check out the legend on the right.

$10 Sex Change

It was bound to happen. Maybe it already did and I missed it. Nevertheless here it is.

For a mere $10 you can change your sex in an MMO.

28 Reasons I Don’t Shop at GameStop

paul — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 19:33:14 +0000

If your store needs a 5 page long confession including tips on how to properly shop there, something is wrong. I’d rather just waltz into Best Buy and get what I want, or if it isn’t an impulse buy, get it online.

In reality though, I don’t trust other people to take care of their discs, so used copies don’t hold much interest for me. I’m certainly not willing to buy a used copy to save a meager $5 off of the new price.

Tips 21 and 22 are pretty good, but I would change them to “Don’t buy third-party peripherals ever.” I worked at an independent used game store through high school. The third-party stuff always feels cheap and breaks quickly.
