You can say "gently caress" here. The word filter is just for people who aren't members or aren't logged in. As in, "Yves Behar must be smoking some good loving crack to think that is a good design."

Humongous Pear posted:You can say "gently caress" here. The word filter is just for people who aren't members or aren't logged in. Huh. I never realized that. Many thanks for pointing that out. Anyway, I just found this gem. For those lucky enough to have recieved the controller with the faceplates still attached, there is virtually no indication of how to insert the batteries. And the controller apparently takes a good five minutes to sync up with the console. Do we know who designed the controller? Was it ever confirmed to be Yves Behar? Because that's a pretty major oversight right there.

So the thing on top is the remote? What? Why not just show the small set top box? Why lay the idiotic looking remote on top, making the whole device look like some weird giggleloop explanation?

Venus of Willendorfs would make an awesome little set top box though. Art and function in one place. I don't want to think what a remote would look like though.

Brilliant, form over function, except without the form. Probably without the function too, if they're commissioning the guy who's fresh off designing the O.U.Y.A.

I guess I'm not sure what an asymmetric rear end on its side has to do with TV/streaming, but that's why I'm not Yves Behar, Champion of Design.

Just as the ouya was designed to evoke an oyster pail, playing off the chinese food leaving you feeling empty after a short time stereotype, so I believe this design is actually a genius artistic statement on the device; It's a bastardized hourglass with a larger bottom which would take a long time to fill. Basically it's going to pause to buffer a lot.

How the heck does the remote stay balanced? It seems both incredibly easy to knock over and small enough to lose easily. Also, as a cat owner...ha ha, ya right.

I really have no clue why they chose that design for the controller. I mean, I'd think even someone who knew absolutely nothing about product design would naturally put the battery compartment on the bottom, like in every other controller. At least the box makes sense to me if I just forget everything I ever learned about engineering.

Hahaha, it's from David Sirlin too.

You must really be confident in yourself if you think you can balance chess more than the hundreds of years it's been around already has.David Sirlin posted:A double-blind bidding mechanic when you capture pieces allows for some "yomi" or mind reading of the opponent's intentions. Oh right.

I read this like an Onion article, because things like " Chess 1 was a big hit, no question there, but a few issues have cropped up over the years. ... And finally, the first version offered only a single army and one matchup " should only exist in satire. But it's not, is it?

That said Bobby Fischer's variant system for Chess, Chess 960, is recognized as being a relatively interesting alteration to the core formula of chess. Unlike Chess 2 it's Chess 1 DLC.

Veev posted:I was going to say stupid but I sure as hell don't know chess all that well so maybe it could be improved, David Sirlin doesn't have a great record on HD Re-releases though. There are a few sort of issues with Chess. The biggest and most pressing one is it is INCREDIBLY close to being a solved game. While you'll note that wikipedia thinks chess will never be solver the other related issue is that Chess can be very formulaic, rote memorization of certain tactics and famous games pays off more than tactical planning. Computers are great at the rote memorization so instead of solving chess proper, they solve individual games and force the game towards one of those models. The very static nature of chess makes this INCREDIBLY effective and limits the game, especially at high levels. Alternate evolutions from the games that became chess often address this by allowing captured pieces to be played to the board (like Shogi), or just by being fuckoff huge (like Shogi or Tamerlane's Chess). Go (while not related to chess) is a solved game on small boards (5x5) but is regularly played on 19x19 boards and thus is very deep. I am almost interested to see how Sirlin would balance chess, because Fischer's (and other's) solutions have largely relied on randomization of certain variables. The parties are still equally matched in capabilities but the initial state of the game has changed so the rote strategies won't work. Sirlin doesn't like randomization and has made excellent cases for Asymmetrical balance before. I don't think I'd enjoy playing it, but it would be neat to see.

Well...quote:There are six armies to choose from, creating 21 matchups rather than just 1. While each army has its own twist, none are completely alien to chess. Each army modifies only a few (significant) things so that remembering what everything does isn't too hard. The six armies are: So presumably it's something like asymmetrical in the sense of starting roster and position.
