Just one or two gig each month…

iD software today announced that they were working on the 4th sequel in their legendary Doom series, commonly considered to be one of the most influential series of games of all time.

They’re still in the process of hiring developers for it at the moment, so the game itself will still be a long way off. But here’s hoping it’s at least as good as Doom 3 was.

NaturalMotion’s europhoria seems a fairly funky idea. Kind of like intelligent rag dolls, saving you the need to hire expensive motion capture equipment, or rely on keyframe animation, giving you a slightly different result each time. The demo is pretty fun too.It’s currently being used in a couple of recent games, including the much hyped GTA IV.

Roman Cortés has done an exceptional image of Homer Simpson using just CSS styled text.

Ned Batchelder has added some JQuery magic to the image to show how it’s put together.

How it is possible to find someone guilty of first degree murder, when there is no body / evidence that the "victim" in question is dead?

I couldn’t say whether he did it or not, but it seems that the whole thing has been based on circumstance.

Some people really just don’t think things through. This man in the blue t-shirt is just arriving back at his car after leaving it abandoned like that on the wrong side of the road and on a zebra crossing, while he popped into the off-licence to buy some milk. Very weird, the traffic was backed up a fair way because of it and a few people had got out of their cars to see what was going on.

Alas from our vantage point I couldn’t hear what they said to him when he got back, but I would assume it was something along the lines of, “What the bloody hell do you think you’re doing?”

The challenge is simple, with one continuous line and without stopping, cross each line with an X in it only once, without crossing a line already drawn.

I’ve been playing around with this on and off and it’s been driving me crazy. It must be possible but I always seem to end up with one line I can’t get to. Try it for yourself.

Twice now we have had poker evenings. I’d never really seen the attraction of the game itself before, but these evenings have been great fun! We’re only playing for a small buy in of £5, and I’ve not won anything back yet. But it’s cheaper than a night out on the town, and is far more fun.

Entropy is at once both truely awe-inspiring to contemplate and downright depressing. The idea that everything will eventually burn out and leave an endless empty nothingness for ever more is pretty depressing, but the thought that all this energy came from somewhere to begin with is a faint glimmer of hope.

Asimov’s short story “The Last Question“ is well worth taking 5 minutes to stop and read.
