Submission + - Valve Reevaluates Episodic Gaming

Submitted by Dr. Eggman on Tuesday September 25, 2007 @01:24PM

Dr. Eggman writes: CVG has a recent article on Valve and it's Episodic Game plan. According to the article after the third episode's out, Valve plans to sit down with the community and figure out what's working and what's not. Newell also wants to spend time with Telltale Games and Blizzard, both developers of episodic and episodic-like game content. The question is: monolithic game development like Half-Life 2 or Episodic development like the trilogy. "We just want to sit down with three examples in front of us and talk it over with gamers to find out what they would like us to do next."

Submission + - Most Powerful Star Explosion Observed

Submitted by necro81 on Monday May 07, 2007 @11:35PM

necro81 writes: The NY Times is reporting a discovery from a team of researchers about observations of the cataclysmic explosion of a 100- to 200-solar-mass star — the brightest stellar explosion ever observed. The researchers believe that the explosion is similar to the death spasms of the first stars in the universe. Rather than create a black hole, the super-massive star's collapse is believed to have been so energetic as to create unstable electron-positron pairs that tore the star apart before it could collapse into a black hole — seeding the universe with heavier elements.
