Feed Description: Scott Hanselman's ComputerZen.com is a .NET/WebServices/XML Weblog. I offer details of obscurities (internals of ASP.NET, WebServices, XML, etc) and best practices from real world scenarios.
If you've every played Age of Empires or the new Rise of Nations, you've probably realized by now that they are just really elaborate examples of Rock-Paper-Scissors(Pikeman beats Knight, Knight beats Footman, Footman beats Pikeman...).
Even though I know this - as a 29 year old man I can intellectualize this - but I still stayed up until midnight last night playing International Roshambo (also known as Rise of Nations). Dammit if it isn't a fantastic game. I'm not even a big gamer, but the level of detail and thought put into this game is ridiculous.
