This is the first game to feature a step towards achieving (real time) facial intricacies that humans posess. It is also one of the first to use material references (information on mass, sound, reflective, etc), as opposed to base texture-mapping. There are several more newly attempted...

Sup Mean, I guess you found my hiding place. :D

That's the first thing that came to my mind when these offers started coming out. It all made sense after that.

Good points - good post. Can a mod fix his links, though? Most of em I've seen - I'd like to check out the last one. Thx.

Does now :D

LOL bamdth47. I took off Gordon's glasses:

This is what I posted in another Beta thread: Two words: Timed Release. In other words, everyone downloads the patch - even the leaks. The people who own the leaks get excited because the patch works for em. They even get to play online a little (while valve logs thier ips). Then, at...

I think most of us know and agree with all that you've said. This whole scenario is hypothetical...we know it's a long ways out.

I tend to agree with Rasmoh, if we actually reached the capability to have AI with true reasoning and self-knowledge, in all reality, the last place we'd see them would be in a game. Albiet, this is all hypothetical, but once ANYTHING has the intelligence enough for self-preservation, they...

Hear, hear. You'd think any HL2 fan would have an inkling of an idea what is out there. If we can do HDR and DOF on the fly, what can we do with a 12+ hour render? Someone needs to do their homework. Or maybe I'm just another "ignorant troll". :rolleyes:
