Aug 11 2009Who Needs Humans?: One Program Makes Mario Levels, Another Program Plays Them

I'll say cool...but I can't actually see the video

1st!!!!!!!!!!!

guess not...

artificial intelligence isn't entertained by playing with itself

cool, but total cheat when he falls into the pit and somehow gets out at 00:45.

i want to see that program navigate the impossible mario stages those guys came up with...now that would be entertaining, and a challenge.

Pretty soon it will be playing "destroy all humans" and go haywire

I think this is slightly bunk since a couple times it looks like Mario should have been killed by some of the enemies (like what looked like Mario punching one of the floating flowers from a pipe) and when he falls in the hole and stays up. I think the A.I. also figured out how to use a Game Genie!

@2

that's fail part two for you today, eh?

so.... i definatly think that the programmers made it to where he could not die... there is no way a computer could be that good and fast at a video game

watching this reminds me of the SMB3 time attack video, except I'm pretty sure that wasn't played by a machine

scroll ahead to 2:10 for what I found hard to believe to be cyborg gameplay until after visiting japan

@naas
Pleasurebots are programmed to be entertained by playing with themselves...

can you f*ck it?? no?? dont care then

Hmm, if the robots like orgies, perhaps we aren't so different after all.

@13
thats a slippery slope

I guess, it kinda sucks being Luigi

@15 why do you think that? Luigi gets all the women

FIRST!, suck on that nerds!

@ 15 i hate you so much, its because of your face.
your face just makes me wanna see it sucking on cat turds while i dip my ballz in your hair. and i hate doing both of those things

@naas

Everybody knows Luigi is the real player... Mario spends to much time taking shrooms and jumping on pipe...

Can't watch at work, lame-o was his name-o.

I've nothing relevant to add, and desperately seek the approval of anonymous strangers:

ROBOTS WILL KILL US ALL

@everyone. who here isn't at work? this is the best way to pass the time...

mwahahaha it fell in the hole....stupid robot... *tear*

@STOMPY that's what I'm saying, I know man

ROBOTS WILL KILL US ALL

Oops spelled wrong hehe

http://theMOSTAWESOMEPAGEintheUNIVERSE.com/

if mario never dies(because of A.I.), then Luigi never gets to play......... morons

Video blocked at work :(

So, basically, all you do for posts now is go to the technology section of Today's Big Thing and pull whatever's posted there, right? Man, must make your job, like, fifty times easier.

@28 I'll take 'what is a blog' for one hundred please

If Daisy was here... I'd totally agree. -_-

@10: Those time-attacks are usually done with emulators with "tool-assisted" mechanics. Hard to explain, but what those do is help you piece together parts of gameplay as 1 long, consistent shot when it's actually several shorts, done over and over again. They also let you play the game in a sort of slow-motion (again, not a regular slow motion but it's hard to explain) where you can pretty much predict what's going to happen and where to go so it looks as if you're playing a pixel-perfect game each time (e.g. doing the "impossible").

It's far less impressive once you know about it and know how they work.

@31 I didn't know that, thanks for the info. It didn't seem humanly possible to clear that game in such a manner, but if it's pieced together as you'd explained how to they keep the scoring consistent? Seems slo-mo probably plays a role here also

Boobs.

man i didnt know you could kill piranha flowers from underneath

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie NEver BAck Down where MAx went to hold up a bookie shop, but ended up getting locked in the vestibule.

Meh. I have a lot of questions about this. BUT

Does ANYONE know this music? I love me some lounge. I can't think of the artist for the life of me.

I wonder if the program gets mad at the other program and throws the controller......it would be because the 2nd program is a big, fat cheater.
