:woot:

So much gaming these next few weeks... Gears of War 3, The Gunstringer, Fruit Ninja Kinect, Worms 2 DLC... man, I wish I didn't have to write a 50-page paper by October for a grad school class. :laugh:

Haha, so glad I finished all of my coursework last year :laugh: .

Reviews are looking good across the board. Only read through two of them in their entirety (Destructoid's review and Ars Technica's review). I don't want to risk running into spoilers for a game that I have had pre-ordered ever since the beta.

First 45mins. with IGN Commentary

There might/will be spoilers here. Even I avoided watching it. The suspense is killing me. 4 Days to go.

wow nice reviews, is it coming out a couple of days early maybe? would be nice to have it for the weekend...

Some random no name shops broke the street date, however its very unlikely your local shop will (going by shops here anyway!). If you see no problem with downloading a game early you pre-ordered then its been out there for over a week now...

Just ordered Epic Edition, I was going to order the standard one but the Marcus's statue had me sold and it would look really cool sitting right next to my Halo Reach statue

I am hopefully getting the EE aswell. :D

1 Hour of Horde mode.

^unfortunately, Best Buys over here in Canada don't have Pre orders for limited/special editions but they have on standard copies. I have to line up early (since no Midnight Madness) to upgrade to EE that day.

240 MSP for a skin set (all 5 weapons) if it's not animated

320 MSP for an animated set

1200 MSP for a specific weapon collection (ie: all lancers, all hammerbursts, etc)

3600 MSP for the whole set (all 22 with some small discount)

I dunno.. Sooo freaking expensive. Not sure if want at all.

Yeah, those prices are a bit high. That being said, the rainbow skin looks awfully tempting, if only because it reminds me of that Penny-Arcade comic from a few years ago. I definitely won't be getting the full collection though. If my math is correct, I think that's roughly $51.40 CDN.

Indeed I will be doing the same, since I want a Limited Edition (not Epic). Hopefully they have a lot of them.

Did you Pre-order? You can get a Gears 3 Toque , 800 Rewardzone points and Mechanic Baird! Not to mention you might also get a Gears 3 T-Shirt if you're in line. Remember only 25LEs and 15EEs at each store.

I'm not buying the whole bundle. Maybe just one or 2 of the animated sets. Which are around $4 each that should come to $8 for 10 weapon skins, but 2 sets.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. About time.

      Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update
