Thumbs Up, Not Guns!

Obama says cyber threats "ramping up," but U.S. not at war

by kcollier@dailydot.com (Kevin Collier)

"There’s a big difference between them engaging in cyber espionage or cyber attacks and, obviously, a hot war," Obama told George Stephanopoulos. "What is absolutely true is that we have seen a steady ramping up of cyber security threats."

Doomsday Map of Seattle

by Alex Santoso

The bad news is that Seattle has been destroyed and civilization is in ruins. The good news is that you've survived - and thanks to local artist Tony Dowler, you know where not to go in post-apocalyptic Seattle.

Tony has drawn the Seattle Doomsday Map (and a book called "Dee Dee's Doomsday Guide to Seattle"), in which he reimagined The Emerald City after the Apocalypse.

From Tony's Year of the Dungeon blog:

Post Seattle: South Lake Union

Wild dogs and dangerous vagrants here. even the good scrounge’s been picked over.

Some smart geeks’ve set up a pig farm on a rooftop, though. Use the shit to run their generators and grow things hydroponic style. If you send some useful scrap up to them, they might just send down some hothouse cabbages.

There's a scrounger's den on Denny street. Look for the yellow flags. Climb in the third basement window on the left and secure it behind yourself. If you take something from the stash make sure you leave something in return.

Post Seattle: Denny Hill

Lots of people in Denny, but they aren’t folk. A few rival gangs, so don’t get caught wearing the wrong color. I opt for black. Still, you can find copper wire, electronics, and supplies if you know where to look.

One of the gangs here has a secret stash of clean water and lords it over the rest of them. Another gang has a scrounge racket trading in working car batteries. Another one collects ears, so know who you’re dealing with.

O inverno está chegando…

by Amanda de Almeida

O inverno está chegando. Dia 31 de março, a terceira temporada de Game of Thrones estreia simultaneamente nos Estados Unidos e Brasil. Para quem acompanha a série, o hiato dos últimos meses tem sido uma verdadeira tortura, que ganha requintes de crueldade a cada trailer, a cada poster, a cada notícia.

Mas, enquanto o inverno não chega, vale a pena dar uma olhada neste vídeo de 14 minutos que ajuda a relembrar os momentos mais importantes da segunda temporada, com direito à comentários do elenco e dos produtores D.B. Weiss e David Benioff.

How to Choose Where to Sit

by Kimber Streams

alexcornell-musicalchairs

Designer Alex Cornell helps you figure out how to choose the best seat, or at least “how not to get stuck next to someone that sucks,” with this helpful infographic.

One of the most complex social situations you will encounter is the 45 seconds that elapse while deciding where to sit for dinner at a restaurant. Your choice should appear natural, unbiased and haphazard if executed properly. Timing is everything.

These 45 seconds determine how enjoyable your next 2 hours will be. Once the pieces start to fall into place and people take their seats, your choices narrow. People sit, seemingly at random, and if you don’t take the appropriate measures, you’re inevitably stuck at the least interesting end of the table.

Tomb Raider analyzed by Digital Foundry, PlayStation 3 recommended console choice

by Megan Farokhmanesh

By Megan Farokhmanesh on Mar 10, 2013 at 3:57p

Digital Foundry recently critiqued Tomb Raider's performance on PlayStation 3 as the "preferred choice" to Xbox 360 for those seeking a console copy.

Although the Xbox 360 is "slightly more consistent," the PlayStation 3 has the overall advantage on image quality and presentation. Digital Foundry writes that PlayStation 3 is better suited for the overall feel and richness of the game.

"This is a game where much of the experience is built around the spectacle and in that respect, PS3 offers an advantage of its 360 sibling," the report reads.

The Windows PC version of the game also offers a favorable option for those interested. According to Digital Foundry, Tomb Raider's PC copy provides a more natural rendering of Lara Croft.

"Crystal Dynamics's goal in creating a more believable Lara Croft is taken one step further on the PC version through the use of advanced hair simulation in the form of TressFX," the report reads. " ... The effect can be convincing in slower scenes with little movement, bringing out more human characteristics in Lara's face, which in turn helps to create a better emotional hook between the player and the character."

You can find the full report here for the specifics. Tomb Raider launched for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC March 5. Read our review here.

Maxis: SimCity offline mode is 'just not possible'

by Jessica Conditt

@azbiker72 The game was designed for MP, we sim the entire region on the server so this is just not possible

- SimCity (@simcity) March 9, 2013

The issues barraging SimCity stem from its requirement that players are always online and connected to EA's servers, even if a player wants to experience the game alone. Making the game available offline could solve many players' issues, but that's "just not possible," developer Maxis General Manager Lucy Bradshaw said during a Twitter Q&A session.

"The game was designed for MP, we sim the entire region on the server so this is just not possible," Bradshaw said, in response to a question about offline modes. Previously Bradshaw responded to another question about an offline patch: "We have no intention of offlining SimCity any time soon but we'll look into that as part of our earning back your trust efforts."

Making SimCity offline would be a significant undertaking, if it were in the cards at all. Bradshaw further reiterated the sentiment of a leaked internal memo, noting that EA wasn't responsible for SimCity's issues; Maxis was.

"Hey, this is on Maxis," she wrote. "EA does not force design upon us. We own it, we are working 24/7 to fix it, and we are making progress."

Recent progress included increasing SimCity's server capacity by 120 percent, disabling "non-critical" game features, and a report that EA asked SimCity affiliates to stop actively promoting the game.

Donkey Kong – Mashup com Filmes, Desenhos e Séries

by Redação Garotas Nerds

O game Donkey Kong, da Nintendo, marcou história e virou um clássico dos videogames, reunindo diversos fãs até hoje. Um desses fãs do game, o artista Baznet, teve uma ideia super legal e pegou uma das telas originais, mostrada abaixo, e fez mashups com diversos filmes, desenhos e séries famosos! :D

O artista pegou personagens e elementos de outros lugares e inseriou-os no estilo 8-bits da tela de Donkey Kong, fazendo alusão a filmes, desenhos e séries, como Star Wars, Alien, Indiana Jones, Batman, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Hora de Aventura e muitos outros. As telas ficaram muito legais e os mashups ficaram bem sutis, já que tudo foi adaptado de forma precisa ao estilo 8-bits, misturando-se perfeitamente à tela original de Donkey Kong.

Veja todas as telas abaixo e tente adivinhar quais são os mashups de cada uma! :D
