Fox news anchor craps on game developer

This guy is such a condescending piece of filth, if he isn't fired then Fox is an even bigger joke than what was already established. The developer being interviewed here (Erin Reynolds) took it like a champ and handled the situation amazingly. They really should tailor the anchors to the subject, because an old fart like this is never going to engineer a good interview, condescending or not.

On another note, the game she is heading 'Nevermind' actually seems awesome. It's going to release via Steam that I know of, maybe consoles. The game monitors your stress level and ramps up the difficulty and scariness (even a word?) based on how scared you become.

Wonder if the peripheral will cost a bomb though, hopefully it will be USB.

Fox News, enough said really. I've seen this reporter on various clips on The Daily Show (the US programme), he's ridiculous. Obviously had to go to the US to act like that because no UK news channel would want him.

What an idiot. I feel she could have explained better though and expanded on the game difficulty adapting based on the technology being used rather than it being a way to manage stress. What is frightening/stressful for some isn't to others and that's hard to implement with a standard difficulty selection (easy, normal, hard) where as this system would be tailored to the individual. I think it looks very interesting.

the only game that ever did anything with my heartrate was eve-online.

I don't see how this is going to work

In the beginning I thought he was just messing about but the way he kept on and on was just embarrassing.

• It's Fox "news".
• The guest is a woman.

...What do you expect, although it was fairly mild compared to what else goes on with that channel.

I dont think a self induced coma is what she is aiming for.

He wasn't that bad to her really.

That news anchor is a complete and utter ****

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

Fox news, rage inducing and comedy gold at the same time!

This is how they keep getting viewers, people giving them publicity all over the place on a daily basis makes the sheeple tune in to see for themselves.

It's just the same as these "e-celebrities" who act dumb to get views/subs on youtube etc.

Sadly it's never going to change

Ok, ok, ok, ok, yeah, yeah, yeah, i got it

Heh eve is a funny one, first couple of months of playing PVP would get my heart racing but now I'm usually fatalistically calm until the fights over then the adrenaline kicks in. Only other game I've had that is Quake 3 playing competitive CTF or Dueling.

Actually the Left 4 Dead games do this indirectly. They try and measure metrics like twitchyness / how spray happy you are and then base the zombie spawns off of that. So inserting a more direct measure into such a system doesn't seem like a terrible idea, just not a very logistically sound one.

Oh and Fox? this is really a surprise to anyone? If they're making you angry or riling you up in some way, then they're doing their job as far as they're concerned... be more dismissive of them if you want them to go away.
