Blue Slowdown

October 15th, 2007 Angus No comments

Blue Dragon. Love it or hate it, it’s a bad game. It’s got a weak story, music that is far from the best work of Nobuo Uematsu, and framerate issues that piss the hell out of everyoen. Still. It’s a Japanese RPG. On Xbox. And that’s gotta count for something, right? Well not for very long. Luckily there is a deluge (ok, maybe just a light drizzle) of J-RPGs coming up for the Xbox (starting with the beautiful Eternal Sonata pretty darn soon and ending off with Lost Odyssey early next year) so it looks like Blue Dragon will go the way of so many other mediocre games and be forgotten not a moment too soon.

Quantum Computing

I’ve written an essay on quantum computing. It’s not great but there’s a lot of content in it. If you’re interested in quantum computers I suggest you also have a look at the references at the end of the essay. Note you should understand some quantum mechanics or at least Hilbert spaces before attempting to read this, or it will all seem like nonsense. One, Zero and So Much More
