Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] interesting note on quad core chips

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

That makes a lot of sense.  I'm sure I'd love to be able to fully utilize
a quad-core chip in such a game.  So I'll bet the developers are thinking
about this too.

The truth, by the way, is that I never play video games.  One of my
friends pointed out that it is a generational effect because when I grew
up there were no video games.  If I were 10 years younger it would be
different (I'm 49 years old).  My son likes them.  I think they are pretty
cool, especially the stuff I'm seeing advertised on TV these days.

I'm 29 and grew up with video games. I almost never play video games now though. I spend my spare time programming mostly. Guess I'm a geek. My interest in gaming machines is more in what I can do with them than what content I can access on them. ;)

The closest I've recently came to playing a game is that I wrote a server to let programmers write bots that would compete with each other. No real user-interface other than the XML-RPC API for playing.
