He was indeed stating he's American, and replying to having ignorance regarding Australian aboriginals, I'm not sure what the confusion there is.

Wait, you attack his intelligence and knowledge regarding a topic only to say that you yourself weren't able to have the reading comprehension skills to determine that "Aboriginal" and "Australian" doesn't have to do with Native Americans? Yes. That is an issue worth addressing.

I don't agree with that statement. Before I began to practice medicine in Texas I taught government and history here as well. Even with how backwards people view texas, and the fact that it's rated in the bottom 50 of all states for education it still does a very thorough job of covering the misdeeds done to the…

Fair enough, I await it as well, but unfortunately the story of the main character of that game has ended.

"I'm really hoping for a game similar to Mass Effect." You know those moral choices in Mass Effect? They started in KoToR. You know those dialog choice wheels? Guess where those came from as well.... Character class progression? Party romance? Your own ship? Interactable crew?

How exactly would you like it to be…

He asks about Australian aboriginals, you reply with,
"It's really dissapointing that american history teaches you so little."

I agree, it is a shame he never learned about the aboriginals of Australia.

You go on to talk about Native Americans and that, " it's actually not that surprising in retrospect that your school…

Wizards of the coast has a D20 star wars game, Star Wars Saga. Alas, there are no Beast Tamers.

I'm glad I've developed a distaste for sweets as I've gotten older. Just the idea of consuming these make me cringe.

Hmmmm... I'll admit it, I haven't read the linked article but it's tough to think that aluminum and steel will stand up to the impact/s of space debris and do it's job effectively.

I didn't indicate this specific video was a commercial for a reason, it's over three minutes long. Instead, I made a general comment regarding not having seen commercials for the game itself.

But, I'm sure commenters who are looking for the origin of the video will appreciate the info.

In the nineties I lived in an city of eight million =P So I doubt it was "size or population," rather that the population simply didn't hold competitions =)

That's definitely possible.

I don't even bother watching for the commercials. I wait for sites like kotaku or some such other site to post the best of the commercials so I can view them at my own leisure.

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.
