I have to admit I may be slipping, I wasn't expecting people to be so overtly negative without articulating as to why in at least a semi-rational way. Maybe for a brief moment I allowed myself some hope for humanity. But it passed =)

I agree, this is a nice stepping stone for the type of hud he's looking to create.

Having orientation indicators would certainly be nice, but you're saying "none of that seemed useful." Having the floor plan alone is a step up from not having a floor plan at all, the same with having hydrant locations.

If you're so out of touch with spatial orientation that you can't determine where on a street you…

I think calling it a commercial is a bit disingenuous, they aren't trying to sell anything here. They are on the other hand showing conceptualization of how a future product can be used, so I'd liken it more to being a product pitch, except that they are already making their own product.

Having a HUD that can display…

So long as it doesn't obstruct his vision in what's an already low vision environment, it'd be great to see this go from conceptualization to functionality.

I can't say I recall seeing a single pokemon card game commercial in the 90's. Not that I believe I've seen every commercial ever or anything, but I can't recall ever seeing card game commercials.

Everyone? No. Employees who promote other site's posts in efforts to get readers to view the sister sites? Yes.

This isn't a promotion of the io9 post, it's practically a copied article.

I could have sworn I saw this exact same article somewhere only a few hours ago....oh yea.

You know, I can't recall what game it was, but I know there was a flying sim on PC that had the black out effect from pulling Gs. If you were going too fast and tried to turn too quickly the edges of your screen would start to go black and tunnel vision in on you, accompanied by your ability to move the stick being…

I've gone for a fly along in a training hornet, but I'm also afraid of heights, so it didn't end well.

I try to not let that fear prevent me from doing things I want to do. I've done tower zip lines, and airborne school tower drops (No, I was not airborne myself it was via family members). One day I hope to gather my…

Perhaps it's just me, but I've been unable to load comments on 3/4 of the stories lately without constantly refreshing the page. I've seen the same type of issue being listed on most of the gawker sites, fix this kinja shit guys.

Agreed, I'm not a part of that communitybut I watched it for several hours each day. It was interesting to see some games I never finished as a kid get destroyed.

Hence my original, "not to steal any of the thunder" indicating it wasn't a competition, merely that it can be done via altruistic means. As, I, mentioned.

But, if you really want to boil it down and ignore that I responded with a joke instead of responding to your post in kind, yes all charity is a competition.

There'…

Unless it's a competition, for charity, like the one I mentioned ;)

While not to steal any of the thunder here, Awesome Games Done Quickly earned over a million last week in their week long marathon. Over half of which was done within the first three days.

That's purely altruistic(yes yes, tax breaks etc, I know) donations without getting games out of it.

Here's a random post containing a beta key for the elder scrolls online:
Because I can. Enjoy.

I think I stated pretty clearly that I'm not condoning child abuse. I'm certainly not trying to defend the guy, but rather that this story is being turned into more than what it is, because the mother is trying to get back at her ex using her child.

As we do not know how mentality resilient the kid is, we cannot know…

"Dude, if you played Blades of Steel back in the day, it's impossible to forget that song."
I have no doubt about that.

I don't condone "child abuse" in any form or fashion, but this sounds far more like a woman who wasn't happy in a relationship and used her child as an excuse to get back at a dick of an ex.

How exactly did a child feeling nausea and having stomach pains lead to a wife not living with her husband unless she was…

The challenge is leaving with your dignity, the near death experience is explaining to your wife/girlfriend why you brought them to a video game themed restaurant for your anniversary.
