so hey peoples its me 10badboy01 (havent posted anything in maybe a year?) i come to SEN from time to time because everyone has such interesting things to talk about on these forums. So yeah enough of my little talk, i know that there is a lot of half life 2 lovers around here and i also know that there is a lot of Canadians. I viewed this video on a mod for half life 2 where its half life 2 in Toronto and i just wanted to know if it was an accurate map of Toronto or not.In addition it looks like a very interesting mod too :P http://www.torontoconflict.com/

Haha from what I saw its got accurate places (though of course most of it is too generic to recognize and there are some places with HL2 only stuff, like the big combine walls/towers). Here are some of the places I recognize:

0:06 - Haha that is the outdoor stage at the North York Civic Center that the combines are standing on
0:48 - Lol thats the subway station closest to my house, I use it all the time
1:07 - That is also outside the North York Civic Center (building in the background with the staircase), he's almost right in front of the outdoor stage
3:01 - I recognize the sign from downtown
3:09 - At the North York Civic Center again. Close to the spot the guy was at 1:07, but further from the building mentioned. You can see the seating for the outdoor stage on the right, above that the pointy gazebo thing is where i smoke sometimes :P And the building behind that is a school board building :X

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations

Oh_Man -- U reckon? Kasparov waa defeated by computer decades ago

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

NudeRaider -- Oh_Man
Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NudeRaider -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".

NimoStar -- " its shown is that you can trade 1000's of apm to make up for lack of strategy"
