- Gaming is a hobby for me. Something to do that is fun. I've been gaming since the 80's on everything from friends' Atari's and NES units to my home PCs. My first console was a Genesis in the 90's. Since getting the X360, I have pretty much burned out on PC gaming. I would consider myself a pretty serious "casual" gamer. I play about as much as some hardcore gamers, but I play for fun instead of being ultra-competitive. I also prefer single player or cooperative campaigns instead of competitive multiplayer. My gaming genre preferences are RPG, FPS, Action/Adventure, Driving, and some types of more "casual" games. Or... pretty much anything that is fun and incorporates a mix of some of those genres mentioned.

The past, present and future of games
I'm old enough to remember playing Pong when it first came out. I recall adventure games having no graphics at all. My first computer hooked up to a TV and programs were loaded from cassette tapes. My second computer was an IBM PC Jr. and didn't have a hard drive whatsoever, only dual(!) 5 ¼" floppies. Arcades were still hugely popular and that was the place to go for the top-of-the-line games. And today, decades later, I wonder just how antiquated current AAA games will look a few years from now. I was playing the re-mastered Secret of Monkey Continue » -
AI in games: Cheating != Challenging
Everyone hates a cheater. It doesn't matter if you're playing poker, sports, a board game, or the stock market. Someone who breaks the established rules to gain an advantage over everyone else only earns the ire of others. So why is it that the very video games we play cheat as well? I'm not talking about multi-player cheaters. I mean the games themselves... the AI opponents in a single-player game.
