The game starts out with a certain size, but it loads up new "chunks" as you explore. Read more

I love Peggle so much. Read more

I also used the average possible move pool for each pokemon, which is why my figure is higher. Read more

No more than a few thousand, I'd wager. That's still a lot of variability. Read more

Or do all of the above! I'm all about fitness! Read more

You are absolutely right! Horror movies burn more calories than most other films, with the Shining being the most effective of those studied. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/96… Read more

I dunno man, but I eat steak. Read more

You actually don't need to do much. The code contains a number of the force applied to physics objects in the game engine. From there you just need to find out how that force scales with the real world, and you have your answer. Read more

As I said on an earlier comment, the font we use for these images doesn't allow lower-case. Read more

That is a limitation of the font we use. I made the other letters smaller to try and make it clear, but yeah, sorry for the confusion. Read more

I want to chew on this. I want to eat it, and savor it and let it warm my belly. Read more

Edit: for some reason… Read more

I agree actually. It's just going to take a long time. Read more

I thought it might have been, but it's the internet. You never know. Read more

That's impossible to discern though. If we're using a random system then you could see repetition arbitrarily sooner or later than that. Read more

That really doesn't make much sense for two reasons — the numbers still don't align, and I contacted Hello Games to confirm my math. They did. It was a simply mistake on their part. Read more

So that article quotes the IGN article I link in the intro, which is the one that everyone else referenced. Here's the thing though — the developers are trying to downplay those figures. The quote I included is indicative of that. It's everyone else that loves the number. It's not like Hello Games has some top-tier… Read more
