AI Skipped A Generation AI Skipped A Generation
By Vince401
Throughout history computers and programs have advances. And in the wonderous age we live in, it's never a wonder when new leaps are taken in AI (Artificial Intelligence for the non-nerds). And throughout history men and women alike enjoyed torturing and finding loops in this AI. After getting bored one day, I determined I too, could mess with this AI. And so we'll start with 2 basic games.

Roller Coaster Tycoon

Mmmm a finer game, I have not seen, fun, exciting, and something that could keep you busy for hours. However the people that inhabit this lovely theme park world ain't too smart. But who can blame them, they're from the 90's and stuck there forever. For example, along my way I decided to build a Shuttle Loop rollercoaster. For those who don't know, a Shuttle Loop fires the car from the station accelerating very fast, and traditionally goes through a loop then up a long stretch of track that goes straight into the air. It then comes back down goes backwards through the loop and back to the station. So I build it, run it a few times, yeah it seems okay.

But alas, it wasn't "Xtreme™" enough for my taste. So instead of setting the launch speed to 30 MPH I jacked it up to a nice smooth 70. Along comes a pedestrian named George, looking for a grand old time, so he decides to ride my rollercoaster, I figure he's had fair warning as the ride is even named The Deathinator so George must have just lost all his money in the stock market or something.

Sure enough George burns up in a beautiful inferno, George's deathwish is fulfilled, you go George! And so the ride closes down because it's dangerous or something. Pfft yeah right I payed MONEY for that, it's reopening, and open it does, quickly attracting visitors and a couple dumbasses who refuse to ride because it's not "safe". I laughed called them pussies and watched as another batch of those loveable rollercoaster bastards died.

The Sims

Everyone likes the Sims. Letting your pointless creations roam around and live life. But these sims aren't always too bright, all they wanna do is dance and not work when you tell them to. Pfft, so finally one day after my sim, Jana decided not to call the maid, she was on her way to the phone and just fell asleep on the floor, what a wimp. I decided I would show her, after her refreshing nap I demanded she cook food for the other disgruntled sims living in the household. But alas, we have no money for food. "No worries." says me, this accompanies a puzzled look by my mother who is watching a tv show on the other side of the room. I promptly deleted the most useless things in the house to earn money. Doors, windows, fire alarms, carpet, and so on. Hooray now Jana can make a delightful treat. Jana throws her creation into the oven, and apparently being the complete dolt she is left like dynamite in the cake or something because it caused the oven to explode in a fiery blaze. Way to go Jana, you total dumbass.

Okay so now Jana's prized belongings and fellow sims are burning to a delightfully crispSorry Jana, captain planet doesn't deal with litter bugs, unless he's punching them. flavor and what does Jana do? Not a damn thing. Does she break through the wall in a vain attempt to escape the blaze? No of course not, she stands right next to the fire actually, flailing her arms perhaps hoping that Captain Planet will come to save her. Sadly Jana never called the maid and her house is a sty, so it's best to assume that Captain Planet had better things to do than save Jana's sorry littering ass. And actually in reality if he did show up he just would have hit Jana and said catchy lines like "Time to take out the trash!" So Jana stands by the fire and eventually catches on fire herself, good work Jana! After several minutes of flinching and burning the Grim Reaper shows up and I promptly throw a house party in honor of Jana and her roomates deaths. Of course only the reaper is there to party, but hey that doesn't mean we're not having fun.
