  • With AI absolutely exploding… It’s very easy to ask for step by step directions to accomplish things. AI clearly still needs to mature… But… The times I’ve asked it for some basic, step by step directions, it’s been effective.

    While I don’t disagree videos make a lot of things easier (I for sure am a visual learning, no question), the step by step instructions for things I’ve gotten have been good, and very easy to follow.






  • I have to go back to the first game I was ever hooked on, and that was soldier of fortune II.

    My buddies were all playing quake and unreal tournament… And I wanted something that was more modern and realistic. I picked up sof2 on a whim and played it a little bit. I was still fairly young and didn’t understand online multi-player. It was this thought that it was very involved and clumsy, and could be a pain. One night I went to the multiplayer tab, which generated a list of servers. I double clicked on one and the game started to load. I remember being blown away! “Is that it?! Am I really loading in to play other real people?!”

    I was instantly hooked. That whole experience was really something.

    I know, it probably sounds lame to the younger people here… But growing up, the internet didn’t exist… At least until I was about 8.
