Just a typical show. Ian is back from vacation. Gaming news to talk about, in particular news from a show we aren’t attending. Mike gushes of Madden. Typical show. Oh yeah, we also had Vikings punter and Tripping Icarus bassist Chris Mother-Loving Kluwe on the show. Chris takes time out of his busy feetsball and bass-picking schedule to do performance art in which he pays “Chris Kluwe”, a character with more nerdery than a bag of Wil Wheatons.
It’s a pretty convincing character. Such is his committment that he adeptly comments on stories like the Minecraft creator challenging Bethesda to a Quake 3 match and the revelations of Gamescom, all while playing League Of Legends. You know, being nerdy and bucking the stereotypes doesn’t help the rest of us. You know, the stereotypes? Jerk.
Next Saturday is SlumberLan, the biggest overnight LAN party happening that day. Brought to you by Yet Another Gaming Show and Teh Pwn Gaming Club. Come on down and see how bad we suck at games.
We will be participating in the Extra Life charity drive on October 8th. Stay aware of this space for more details, or click the link to support our team now.
With Minecraft’s June 13 update, new features include a stronger Bad Omen effect and raid rewards, meaning a new village overhaul should come next.
Minecraft's 15th year anniversary is being celebrated with a new free map, one filled with memorabilia from the game's history.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.
That's next Thursday.
It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.
What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.
There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.
If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.
Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in
