didn't sleep well

Go to www.teamfortress.com. There's an image at the top of the page showing the 9 different characters. When you mouse over each character they become highlighted, indicating that they can be clicked on to go to their profile page.

And if you very slowly move the mouse cursor from one character to another, you'll find there's a tiny little gap as you cross from one character to the next. A brief moment when both characters become de-highlighted. Like there's a little channel separating the hotspots. This happens everywhere where one character's graphic joins another.

BUT.

There is one exception: the join between the Scout and the Soldier. If you mouse over and highlight the Scout and slowly scroll over to the Soldier, or vice versa, one highlights and the other simultaneously de-highlights. There is no separating border where both become de-highlighted.

If you mouse over the Scout and move to the Pyro, the gap is there. If you mouse over the Soldier and move to the Engineer, the gap is there. If you mouse over any other character and move to its next-door neighbour, every single time, there is a gap. It's just between the Scout and Soldier where there is no gap. It is impossible to position your mouse between them without highlighting either.

  4. I have your answer:
    Without too much technospeak, The Soldier does not have the same "outline" or barrier as the rest of the characters for some reason. Because of the way the characters are layered, it looks like the scout is in on it too, but you can tell that isn't the case by checking under his right (stage left) armpit. Because the Soldier has no outline AND him being above the scout in terms of perspective, rolling from him to the scout means there's no deselection beteween the two. Rolling from him to the Engi looks fine (has the deselection) because the Engi is on top.
    TL,DR: BECAUSE OF FUCKING MAGICAL SPACE FAERIES.

  5. Actually there is a gap between the scout and the soldier, if you increase the magnification of the webpage enough your mouse is able to move a small enough amount that you can pick up the gap. It's possible at 100% but easier at higher zoom levels

  20. Hey Yahtzee,

    what the DICK were you thinking when you nominated Spec Ops the Line as your GOTY? I bough it based on this recomendation and while it's an above-avarage military shooter it's not any kind of subversive statement you hyped it up to be. Ok, there was this one fairly poignant scene early on but soon it was back to the business of dispatching hordes of guys to the sound of one-liners and heavy metal. Interactive narrative experience MY ARSE. I had about as much fun with Bulletstorm, and Spec Ops does get oddly reminiscent of that game once you are joint by that Texas-accented hot-shot agent. No discussions on the nature of war and violence to be found.

    So yeah, Yahtzee, you should definitely get more sleep. And lay off the liquer. And get your act together.

  23. Yahtzee, you late 80's fun Cenobite, I have disturbing news!

    A game was released a year ago on Steam and has completely slipped your radar. The game in question is PAYDAY: The Heist.

    I find this rather disappointing because I've played the game multiple times and every time I do, I'm reminded of Resistance 3.

    That's all I'm gonna say. Play it. You will get some SERIOUS Deja Vu.

  24. Hey Yahtzee, I have a idea that many people I have asked believed to be a good idea and would like some advice from a reviewer that knows what he or she is talking about. Is there any chance you would read my idea? Thank you.

  37. It is very likely a side-effect of interpixel rendering. Either through css or javascript, the designer set the widths and positions of those elements to dynamically fill their container horizontally. Because you start dividing the pixels into a number of slices that isn't necessarily a divisor, you get a decimal response, for instance 100.34. The browser is perfectly happy to render those, but each browser has a slightly different way of deciding how to round those pixel positions into actual pixels on the screen. At any rate, the gap is probably exactly where the sum crosses (or rounds into) a new physical pixel, like 3 * 100.34 being 301 instead of 300.

    Or, actually more likely, is where it fails to round up because it was able to fit its entire 0.8 or so into the decimal pixel space.

    I am so bored.
