Kegasus

The "official" ad campaign for this year's Preakness is not "Get your Preak On", but rather "Kegasus".

You can read an interesting Baltimore Sun article about it here, or just go to the site here.

Who is that at the 2:30 mark getting rescued?

Starcraft 2: The AI challenge?

You know how I've occasionally mentioned that I prefer playing against human opponents in multi-player games (particularly board games), because the AI is limited in it's options?

Well, here's an interesting story about how some Berkely AI students won the Starcraft 2 AI challenge. It's a bunch of AI scripts battling it out.

The key is, that the AI that they built can micro manage units better than any human can, so if it is ever optimized it will be unstoppable.

Duke Nukem is finally here?

I think I remember playing the freeware first title back of Duke Nukem back in high school. I didn't play the 3D version. But apparently Duke Nukem forever took 12 fricking years to develop. There's a great story about it here.

And I've also linked to the reveal trailer. Game ships on May 3 of this year.

Troy McClure Film or Actual Terrible Movie?

I'm ashamed to admit that I only scored 7 out of 12 on the Troy McClure Film or Actual Terrible Movie? quiz. Apparently I'm a little too cynical. But there were a couple of heartbreaking cases where something that I thought couldn't possibly be a real movie actually was.

Anyone up for a Scavenger Hunt?

There's a Baltimore Scavenger Hunt on Sept. 18. Teams of 1-5 people compete (one car only though). It's $25 per person.

Any interest?

And I thought we drink a lot...

Compared to Britain, apparently the Americans are pretty tame.

Stay Positive!
