One of my favorite parts of the modern gaming world is seeing developers try to sell moves like this as "good news" for the players. What's especially great about this example was that the devs announced the price hike about a week before it happened, but apparently weren't allowed to talk specifically about the deal with Gearbox until it happened. I'll give them credit for at least warning the players that it was going to happen (since they weren't obligated to), but it was pretty hilarious to see days of posts along the lines of "we can't talk about the reason for the price increase now, but the day it goes live we'll explain everything and you'll agree that this helps everyone" followed by an explanation of "we partnered with Gearbox and they said that they thought our game was good enough that we could charge more for it."

Clearly Bioware needs to make Shattered Steel 2.

Actually homing sliver could be pretty cool with all those madness vampires.

Maybe I want to know what variant of "Is X replacing Y" is going to show up in the comments of the next RedLetterMedia video.

When I go into Youtube, it keeps loading comments from the wrong video. It took me a while to realize why the comments were all so out of context, even for youtube. Like I'd go click a new movie trailer and for some reason everyone is talking about what Death Grips member they like the best. Or I'll click some weeb bullshit and everyone is talking about how the restaurant owners are lying to Gordon Ramsey.

And oh, they actually put up a blog post yesterday I guess. Date of the pyro update is still unknown, so a safe bet is over a month from now. For perspective, the Meet Your Match update that announced it was July 7, 2016.

The saddest thing about that artifact trailer is that it's probably not even going to get 10% of the dislikes that the infinite warfare trailer got. Not because the reaction of the fanbase is any better, just because people don't really expect Valve to do anything worthwhile and so don't really care.

Man I love this artist.

When is Funko Build Fighters coming out.

Just realized that there's another use for this.

You can go in on a fresh browser and pull up the results, if you know where to look.

You'll find the "almost Declaration of Independence" that I linked to. I guess you could argue that maybe the book was only generated after I did the search, and that once it was generated it was stored in the site forever, but once you're keeping track of that many generated books it seems simpler to just use an algorithm to actually guarantee that all possible sequences are generated before anyone searches anything.

What if we just played UT2K4 with that mod that gave different stats to the different species. We could even still play convoy.

They should award a prize for the person who can find the complete text of the original short story in there.

The idea comes from the Jorge Luis Borges story of the same name. In the story itself the futility of the library is discussed: since all possible strings of text (of the right length) are represented in the library all possible works of literature, science, philosophy and mathematics are included within it. However, for every such work there are more examples where the work is faithfully included, except for some subtle lies added to it, and even more that contain truth followed by a sudden decent into gibberish. Thus while all truths expressible within the given length are included and it is impossible to verify that one finds something that seems sensible that it is not a lie or nonsense. As such the very fact that the library is infinite causes it to not only possess all truths, but also thwarts its ability to communicate those truths. This is a good example of the problems you run into when looking for meaningful information. If the site really has put all combinations of the characters in the library, then there should be examples where works far longer than 3200 characters appear faithfully, and works where lies are repeated. I assume that the character limit was put into place because it would take too long to find such examples. In the universe of the story this realization causes some of the inhabitants of the library to commit suicide, while others hope to find new truths in rare books in spite of the inherent problems with this endeavors. Borges plays around with similar ideas in many of his stories. EDIT: It linked to the wrong page, let me try this again.

I think that the site might be Medic's Zahir.

It looks like classic SPUF image results have finally been erased from Google's databases. Even that old brony-crew picture doesn't show up anymore in results.

Do you expect Valve to remember why they put things into the game when they do updates? I'm surprised that the update that changed it wasn't phrased as "fixed a glitch that allowed gift wrap to be applied to untradable items."

For some actual anime discussion, I hope that when they make the pop team epic anime they actually redo everything in that joke "blu-ray version" style on the blu-rays.

I like how the only expressions that it can generate are innocent, smug and retarded.

Slivers. I don't know if it's brood sliver, sliver legion, or sliver overlord, but it's definitely a sliver. (Vampiric sliver is the funniest target).

I always lose the game in my sports dreams too.

Hell, I've been trying to find someone who watched season 5 of Fringe for a couple years to see if I'm crazy in my opinion on the finale, but I've been unable. And that show's not even that old.

I'd also like to point out that "Artifact" is a tremendously horrible name for this game: The word "artifact" is tremendously generic and has no more connection to DOTA than to many other franchises. In fact, if anything, it's arguably better connected to Magic: the Gathering. Having your title make people think of one of your competitors first is not a good move. The word can be used to mean an error in a process (such as artifacts produced by a camera in photography) or something that is an irrelevant product of earlier times (such as saying that lives in video games are an artifact from when arcade games were the primary medium). Both definitions make the jokes at Valve's expense far too easy to make.
