We Make Magic

One of the buzz words in computer gaming today is ‘artificial intelligence’. All right, so that’s two words really, but let’s not be too picky. What does it mean? Artificial intelligence is a phrase that has been around for years, and basically describes the ability of a computer to give the impression that it is thinking, in the same way that a human thinks. It has been suggested that the best artificial intelligence systems should give an impression of behaviour that, to the observer, are indistinguishable from the behaviour seen from a human. In other words, if the computer’s characters and responses are variable, appropriate and as meaningful as though another player was playing against you, then the computer is doing a good job of mimicking intelligence.

Many people argue whether artificial intelligence is something which is simply mimicked – in other words, the computer is giving the impression of intelligence and thought but actually this is pre programmed by a designer, or whether the computer is genuinely thinking independent and original ideas.

Our own brains are simply very complex computers – they are made up of millions of little processors all connected using living wires which use electrical signals to exchange, process, store and retrieve data or information. By linking together a number of computer processors, linking them together in complex ways and giving the computer a basic formula for learning, it can proceed through the same sort of stages we do as humans, learning about the world around it, learning about knowledge, information, responses, communications, reactions and the many other influences which affect behaviour. It is hard to see how this type of intelligence is really any different from our own. Certainly computers are able to come up with original ideas in just the same way that we do.  Read more...

There’s nothing better during the day, to just sit down and relax by having your favorite snack beside you while you start playing your favorite console games, whatever is your favorite one (Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Wii, etc) or even you favorite handhelds (PSP, Nintendo DS, etc).

If you like video games like me, then you’ll want to know the benefits of playing console games.  I know that many people would dream that; if they could make money playing video games that would be a dream turn into a reality.  Imagine that, getting paid for playing video games while you are sitting at home or when you are in the road.

I have great news for you, that dream I mention is not a dream anymore but a reality, because you can get paid by playing your console games.
