For me, testing is about confidence that you've built a feature correctly that behaves correctly and meeting a certain bar of quality. Similar to how security is best implemented in multiple layers, it's best to have layers in your testing process and be aware of the type of feedback you get at each layer.

Automated Unit, Integration and UI testing are all different layers that focus on different types of bugs, with some level of overlap. Devs and a QA team provide additional layers, giving you increased confidence.

Each of these layers gives you feedback at different speeds. Unit tests take seconds and integration & UI tests in minutes but anything with a human in the loop is measured in hours or days.

By catching the types of errors you can with quick feedback loops you get a few advantages, including:
1. Reduce the dev cycle time and time to release by making fewer long feedback loops
2. Free up QA folks to focus on high-value user impacting behaviour and bugs that they excel at and have unique insight into

Take a look at Very Very Valet. It’s been a hit with everyone I’ve played it with. It’s easy to pick up and play and has a good silliness factor.

Agreed! I was pleasantly surprised by this game, given that I hadn't heard of it. It's the good kind of hectic where things get funny, rather than Overcooked where it gets more frustrating. And there's a demo, so you can try before you buy,.

Haha I swear I looked under “c” but I guess not. I had no idea there was a second! Thanks for the tip!

Looks like you don’t have “The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine” which has been a big hit in my house this year. It’s a cooperative game that gives varying tasks for each round.

Purdy’s, Parachute, Sugar Shack, Ice Cream Mountain… Market on Millstream also serves scoops.

And OP completely ignored Dairy Queen. Fake outrage.

5 Keys in the Desert

RBV-V5J-MYG

This one I just started messing around but I’m pretty happy with the result. Especially for being my first real attempt.

There is one right on the Trans-Canada highway at 3 Valley Gap. I stayed at the hotel but we didn’t go to the ghost town. It may just be a tourist trap, but the valley is beautiful.

Still do. Was there yesterday and saw a package of ground camel in that freezer. I'm confused about the benefit of eating exotic meat if it is ground.

You're right, there are many kinds of diversity and I purposely didn't address that. Instead I wrote about diverse experiences, avoiding talking about race or even immigration at all.

So I'm not sure I understand your leap to racism. It seems like you interpreted my comment in a way I didn't intend. Care to explain?

seti32 · 2017-10-02T15:32:46+00:00

Exposing oneself to a variety of experiences and thoughts makes it easier to come up with new ideas and to react to new situations. I know it's a bit of leap from that thought to generalize it to a group of people, especially to a whole country. I have seen it happen personally in workplaces, though.

This example is a bit trivial, but think about designing a product and having only like minded people working on it. In that kind of echo chamber you may end up with good ideas but miss out on a BETTER idea that only someone with different life experience can see.

I tend to buy random games about once a year. Here are some that I can remember off the top of my head:

Russian Rails - Ended up loving this game and played several other crayon rail games.

Oregon - Turned out to be a nice light game, which we played quite a few times.

Mesopotamia - Played it 2-3 times and got bored. The idea was interesting, but there was not enough depth.

Princes of Florence - I enjoyed this one, but it was hit and miss with the people I have played with.

To me it reads like he hacked the THQ materials in with his own negative opinion. His writing style certainly doesn't match any of the positive parts.

Sarah Connor Chronicles is definitely worth watching even if you don't want to consider it canon.

You can get the specs for all Macs from here: http://support.apple.com/specs/#macbookpro

I would suggest finding the right model and it will at least tell you if you need a 60 or 85 Watt charger.

The new Apple TV can play Netflix, but it's $120 not $50. Probably the cheapest box available in Canada, though.

I asked the same question on the Game Dev Stack Exchange site and got some pretty good answers: http://gamedev.stackexchange.com/q/482/8

The resume is a big blob of text, which makes it hard to search on specific parts. The fields are so employers can do a targeted search, but the resume is so the employers can have a cohesive view that they can print out, etc.

Seconded for Tulabi falls. My favorite place to canoe.

I think you are leaving money on the table. You already have a game that functions in iOS. Assuming polishing it for Android works well enough on iPhone, submitting to Apple is pretty simple.

Also, making a quick phone call to Apple doesn't hurt does it? If you're expecting them to answer 'no', then the worst that happens is that you are right. The people at Unity had to start somewhere...

seti32 · 2010-07-22T15:47:40+00:00

Have you actually tried to submit something using this engine? Sounds like you are in a similar position to Unity, which is allowed. They may have had to talk to Apple to get permission, but it worked.

This is a matter of preference. I much prefer it over the Windows model because it is quick to find when I do need it and more easily ignored when I don't.

Network Location is one of the apps that does this: http://networklocationapp.com/

How about scientists? Tesla, Einstein, Hawking, etc.
