Indeed, you could see on all the short clues, Watson would still be thinking (you could see his confidence bars moving after someone else had rung in), simply because he hadn't had time to sift through all the data it needed. Any clue taking more than 5 or so seconds to read, Watson would have determined all that it would at the moment it was able to buzz in. So you can see that the ability to break down the answer and find what bits are important is very impressive, then the time spent searching is pretty well constant. So in all the other uses IBM people have been talking about (i.e. medical diagnoses), Watson would do fine since a 5-6 second wait time just doesn't really matter.

I had this problem at one point during HL2, where you're taking the hovercraft along the water/waste/whatever. I had to put it down for a week, finish that section, and then it was fine. When I replayed HL2 a year or so later, I felt a bit sick at that same part, but I got through it faster so there was no stop. No idea why that part exactly.

Comment Re:There is another undocumented area (Score 1) 261

Oh god, you just reminded me of the "HELP" on top of a mountain around Stonetalon. Me and this mage spent hours trying to get up there, and he succeeded eventually, and I just gave up. That was a fairly ridiculous climb, similar to trying to walljump up BRM to the BWL area.

Blah blah blah real life, last time I went exploring in real life I went over this closed off overpass. Found an umbrella. And then I found about 4 homeless guys just past it. I mean, I guess it was interesting, but.......

Comment WoW Exploration (Score 4, Interesting) 261

For anyone who's been doing exploration in World of Warcraft for a long time, the name Dopefish has additional meaning. Wall walking to places was amazing, and 1.9 was a sad sad day, except wall jumping took it's place! Hyjal, above/under Orgrimmar, on top of zeppelins, epic levitate jump from Hyjal to Orgrimmar, above and 2nd floor of Undercity, under Stormwind and behind the gated instance portal, Ironforge airport, Wetlands farm, Elwyn house/retreat/pond, the Dragon-Dwarf fight on the flight to Searing Gorge, Troll village, half-existing Gadgetzan from ZF, outter edges of the BE starting zones, middle part of Eastern Kingdoms, smiley face under Karazhan, and the Crypts next to it, outside the Karazhan instance, most especially the large area where you fight Prince, underneath all of Outlands (except for Netherstorm, damn bridge) especially behind Black Temple, outside the playing parts of CoT: Hyjal, inside CoT pre-BC, top of CoT, on the hourglass (old and new), behind AQ (which allowed zoning in before the Wall opened), North Plaguelands, behind the Greymane Wall. So much amazing exploration over such a long time.

Only 2 things I've never done that I really want to is get to Old Ironforge on my guy, and outside of Deadmines.
