They buy bandwidth from 8 differtn back bones and then intelligently route the IP based on least path of resistance. Cool stuff. Better gaming experieince.</p><br><br>Posted to: turning players into addicts Mon, 02 Aug 2010 08:10:37 -0600 lewstherin71 http://www.nycgameindustry.com/game-development/show/924?showPost=926 http://www.nycgameindustry.com/game-development/show/924?showPost=925 <p>Greetings lewstherin71!<br \/> <br \/>Interesting topic of discussion. Currently I am taking a Network class and I am not convinced that it is a coincidence that you bring this subject up... <br \/> <br \/>With the rise of online gaming, it is important that your player-base remain engaged with minimal technical disruption. One topic for discussion is cloud-computing and how this could change the way games and more specifically, online games are played. To keep it simple, you as the player will be streaming the game while processing will be handled at a central location.<br \/> <br \/>I myself am curious to see where this avenue will take online gameplay but beware, this is a topic that is passionately debated about amongst us programmers. <br \/> <br \/>;-) </p><br><br>Posted to: turning players into addicts Wed, 28 Jul 2010 04:48:11 -0600 http://www.nycgameindustry.com/game-development/show/924?showPost=925 http://www.nycgameindustry.com/game-development/show/924 <p>want to start an open forum to discuss online game delivery and how latency, packet loss can ruin a players online experience - more importantly how to avoid this and improve your gamers experience.</p><br><br>Posted to: turning players into addicts Fri, 23 Jul 2010 07:58:58 -0600 lewstherin71 http://www.nycgameindustry.com/game-development/show/924
