Re: Ready For TV Yet?

To the narrow question re: Aim High vs. previous games, I'd give the GDC high marks for the video appeal of well-played matches in this year's game.

More broadly I have to concur with Cory (earlier in this thread) that FIRST would be a victim of fast fingers on many a TV remote, except when either American Chopper style back-stories or really exciting matches like Einstein F2 are on the screen.

It's kind of a Catch-22: a TV show about a competition that aims to change the culture will not be popular until the culture has been changed.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
