Lol I find it fun. I'm sorta experiencing burnout from the game (6 hours a day every weekday can do that to anygame probably ) and it gives me another way to enjoy it without the blood pressure going up. Though it does make my wife angry when she walks in and I'm number crunching instead of doing something productive (IT IS WIFE GET OFF MY BACK) with my time, lol. Though she gets me to number crunch her grades now occassionally because I can do it infinitely faster than she can

What do you do that allows you to play video games everyday for 6 hours!?

so you're the reason apple can patent a rectangle with rounded corners?

jesus Fing Christ. I'm crashing every other game this weekend, either as soon as i drop in, or right in the middle of carving some laser etchings into someone. and if it's not that, one of the teams will have a disconnect, OR i'll forget to change the game mode since i had to kill the client

That's robrocop, jace and aniviron.

And Jace, that's not my department, that was a design case, I do utility only

Also don't trust the media about anything to do with patents. They are ******** (the media)

I posted up my 10 late last night. It's the last post on page 4. Just wanting to make sure you got the data.

[hammerreborn]

Yup, haven't been home today. Ill have the data up tomorrow

[Davers]

What's the point of collecting data if you aren't going to manipulate it?

Because I do it for pure curiosity. Though I do use the mech data occasionally as an argument, mainly when people argue that 3Ls are the most played mech when they clearly aren't.

The point of this data is to see how weekend sales effect which mechs are played and how many suckers willing participants I can get to help me collect data. Was hoping for 200 rounds of data, but I think the current numbers are around 100 though.

[hammerreborn]

Alright, I'm going to finalize the data tonight, so anyone still interested in submitting 10 rounds of screenshots from today or this weekend feel free. Ill post when I'm starting to put it all in (somewhere around 6 or 7pm) at which case no more submissions will be accepted.

Thank you to all who participated.

[Hauser]

Had hoped to do another data set but yesterday was **** poor for collecting. Had a set of 10 games in which either I crashed, someone d/c'd or didn't show up.

I'll see if I can get another set in before closing.

what is a patent examiner, do you find out if patents already exist or something? I have an idea for a utility item I want to patent but I'm not sure exactly how to proceed on it.

Basically. For a patent application to become a patent it has to go through an examiner first.

And if you have an idea, get your notes together and either look for it yourself at uspto.gov and go to the search tool, or I suggest talking to a lawyer. It's fairly cheap to submit an application for a single person, but without a lawyer applications are just horrible messes of formatting you'll have to figure out on your own.

How about a zip of JPEGs. I'm lazy. I'll leave the zip up for a week or so.

Totally did not hit-pick for anything. I had dozens of screenshots from the weekend and just flipped to "big icons" and picked em. Some real stinkers in there. I swear I'm really better than this. Like 90% of the forum dwellers, I'M ABOVE AVERAGE. He he he. I am soooo average.

Reading more carefully through my screenshots. There are a good number of repeats in there... I should have picked screenshots that were further apart in time. All of my repeats look to be sequential matches. It makes sense. After you get your build worked out you just keep hitting launch.
