…this helps clean the floor up.

So, all in all, I am a very satisfied customer of this Bounty product. It helps me keep me house under control!
overpricedjust compared prices to our local grocery store and these are way overpriced on Amazon. Best to check yours.Here’s the written review since Amazon deleted the video review…There are a couple of issues revolving around the proper purchase of Toilet Paper. They are as follows:

1. My chief concern is efficiency and economics, hence why I fold my TP when I use it. Sure, I’m aware that others scrunch or crinkle it up into a ball, but that’s only good for one use - or two if you’re VERY careful. Forget that. I fold three times MINIMUM. Sometimes four, depending on what I ate that night…

2. I’ve always had trouble with the thickness of my toilet paper. Most times it rips through in the middle, leaving my fingers to pick up the rest where the TP left off. Up until I purchased this product, those who shook my hand after my morning constitutional were…

Madden NFL 11 Run Blocking Improvements - Live Chat

In continuing with the effort to be more transparent to the gaming community EA is all set to host their 5th live chat of the season. EA will be talking and taking questions regarding their Run Blocking Blog, which featured some great videos of the new Run Blocking AI.

…I wanted to call some people and get my speed rating bumped up a little bit. But it’s fun to be a part of the game. It’s something that exciting, and it’s a little surreal to be honest, because you’re playing as yourself in a game that you grew up playing. As a kid, I always looked up to these guys who were on the cover of the college game, so it’s a really fun experience for me just to be involved. Jon Robinson: What did you think the first time you saw your video game character throw an interception? Tim Tebow: To be honest, I don’t actually play as Florida a lot. Even the last four years I haven’t played as them too often because they’re really good in the game and it’s too much of an advantage for whoever is playing as them. Usually we pick lesser teams. But the other day I was playing against my brother and he was playing as Florida, and he was trying to scramble around, he was running to his left and threw all the way back down the field to his right like 80 yards. I was like, “There’s no way I…

Splash Damage Details the Human-like AI in Brink

Splash Damage Details the Human-like AI in Brink - The trailers for Bethesda’s upcoming FPS, Brink, look gorgeous, and according to creative director Richard Ham, it plays just as beautifully thanks to enemies and allies with near-human artificial intelligence.

…Reviewed the studio re-wrote the engine from the ground up, giving the game its distinctive, detailed look. And just as much work as the developers put into the engine, they’ve put into the A.I.”Brink’s AI has to be great because of the way we blend single player and multiplayer gaming seamlessly,” Ham told the gaming site. “At any time, you could be playing against AI or against other human players, and our goal is that you can’t tell the difference.”Brink features 8-member squads, with AI friends and enemies seamlessly being replaced by players as they log-on. And when a player goes idle, they can even enable AI to temporarily take over their character. “You won’t be earning any Experience Points during that time, but we want to give players the break option,” Ham said.”Not only are the enemies more ruthless and surprising, but your teammates are more self reliant and useful. In Brink, you won’t have to babysit your AI squad mates and make sure they do their jobs. Actually, if you’re not doing well,…

Pro Artificial Life

What if the A.I. in video games became so advanced that the characters could be considered alive?

…What if someone were to one day develop a piece of software that could be considered alive? Could a Sims-like program where the inhabitants of the virtual world were so lifelike that it was impossible to tell the difference between and the people in the real world still be considered just a game?
The issue of artificial intelligence has been in our society’s conscious for decades but often as a fearful imagining of robots gone mad who are hellbent on destroying us. But what if A.I. doesn’t result in Terminator style cyborgs but rather virtual worlds with virtual people living their lives in computers. A Matrix where we are not the inhabitants but rather our virtual creations are. If these virtual people were so human in their behaviors, feelings and emotions would we be forced to redefine our definition of life?
Maybe it is just harmless musing at the moment but how many more years will it be till we start to see some high functioning examples of artificial intelligence in games and programs? Is our society…

Army of Two | XBox 360 & PS3 Video Game Reviews

It will take an Army of Two to stop the corruption of rogue private military corporations. Fight along side your team-mate to become the deadliest two-man military outfit a government can buy.

…pimp’ out your weapon, getting it covered in gold plating, if you so desire.
As for the game, it’s divided up into six missions, played over a thirteen year period, starting in 1993.
You start in Somalia, then head to Afghanistan and fight your way though an old soviet military complex. From there you fight in Iraq, and then mission four takes place in the Philippines, on the Aircraft Carrier the USS Constellation. Mission five takes place in China and finally the last mission of the game is in a flooded downtown Miami.
Throughout the game there are numerous cut scenes, all that adds to the depth of the game world and the story behind it.
If I had a complaint about these cut scenes is that several times the walking animation of the various characters involved was really jerky, not smooth or natural in any way. But I only noticed this I think twice through the entire game.
While I’m on it, the animation was beautifully rendered. It didn’t quite have the rag-doll effect that I’ve been growing accustomed to…
