MOBA sports. That means DOTA or League of Legends style Soccer, Football, baseball, any team sport, really. Baseball probably wouldn't work, but soccer would be fabulous. - 5 on 5 with 10 minute halves, every player on the field is a r

This is the same guy that did Frog Fractions, which if you haven't played it, is one of the most surprising games ever made about amphibians and scientific notation. http://twinbeard.com/frog-fractions

This is all very relevant to the gameplay, but I find the most interesting part of the game is the story and how it evolves based on your decisions. You can let anyone through. You can, and are asked to, cut people breaks. You can be a hard

OP's point was the Feinstein has been defending the NSA's programs, and has, until now, seen no problem whatsoever with the government spying on its citizens.

I've found simply pushing up, left, down, right, I can routinely outdo the score I can attain by actually playing with thought.... Kind of disappointing, but then I lost hours to this already. Fabulous game!

I've always gotten the impression that about 40% of the people you meet or see in Seattle are at that exact moment contemplating suicide. That's just the general tone of the city.

Very correct on the indie thing. It's the only way to ensure some stability: keeping it small, keeping it simple. The big game development studios have always been like this. Half the time, they do have concurrent dev cycles, multiple

Minecraft is the single most addictive and screams-of-glee-inducing thing in our museum. No matter what we have for the kids to play, they always go "minecraft? You have Minecraft!? Can I play Minecraft!?" which is nuts, because t

It's kinda a suicide mission. B&N is very nicely fucked anyway. Not much they can do but liquidate and compensate the shareholders sometime in the next 2 to 3 years.

Wanna come teach said class? We always need new teachers and volunteers. Your son could TA.

Where does the BBC keep this streaming content? I can't find it anywhere on their sporting site.

At this point, they should focus on the e-ink readers, and just offer a ton of free books for them. Beat Amazon at their own game by not making any money on the books.

If someone wants to teach it for free, they can offer a class in this at the MADE. I have yet to find someone who can teach it, though.

You're right, Java is not hard. But I'd wager you paid for that summer camp. We teach a free class to random kids every week. Because it's free, random kids with NO PRIOR COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE show up. This is quite different fr

Absolutely right. We are 8-14 year olds, and the pre-teens are the most excited.

You don't. It's Java. It's like a kid asking you to build a car engine from scratch day one. We kindly point them to our Scratch class as a way to learn how to program.

themade.org teaches free programming classes to kids. We've been doing this for 2 years now, and most of the time, our ratios are 50/50. Yesterday, in fact, we had 3 boys and 6 girls for our scratch class, then had 8 girls and 2 b

Why would the NSA fuck with a TOR developer, when the federal government contributes a great deal of TOR code and actually runs exit nodes as a matter of research?

This book is so informative it's unbelievable. I really hope Nick and Ian keep doing these platform studies because there is nothing else like them out there right now. A few things about the Atari 2600 make this book fascinating. It&#

I agree, but that's sort of an illicit, nameless mob of people who probably don't want too much attention. TOSEC is kind of like a hive-mind memory project. I love how utterly comprehensive it is, without any central governing bod
