If you're in the UK, xkcd is doing some sort of puzzle treasure hunt thing.  Check it out?

I'm not in the UK, so xkcd isn't doing a puzzle treasure hunt thing.

Wrong; it was not an "if and only if" statement. However, we can infer that if xkcd isn't doing some sort of puzzle treasure hunt thing, then you must not be in the UK.

I've always loved that line. It sounds so innocuous at first, but the implication that the world is split in halves and that you can take one is horrifying.

That disappointing moment when you see someone talking about why it'd be awesome to look at the full moon this weekend, and it's just astrology mumbo-jumbo.

As much as I would like to find all the easter eggs, I just don't have the time for it.

Some times you just have to reprioritize.

How do you know you found everything?  Is there a definitive list?  Is this map confirmed to be complete?

I saw maps that I'm pretty sure were generated by some program that looked through it all itself.

I don't think there's a way to be completely sure though.  The game is programmed by trying to fetch an image corresponding to the player's coordinate position, and it's just blank white if no image is found.  The game has horizontal boundaries but not vertical; you can just keep jumping up forever.  Most of it will just be whitespace.  The people who auto-generated maps would have found a lot of empty space and decided to call it quits after some reasonable time, but there's still a small chance that Randall would have hidden some image way high up past what anybody would reasonably search.

On an unrelated note,

I remember hearing that the coordinates of all of the coins is in the source code, and they're all in that area.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

I can't seem to figure out the controls.  I gave up the first time after repeatedly getting stuck on the right hand wall.   I'm glad people posted here so that I know it's worth persevering with: can anybody offer more specific instructions than simultaneously bashing both the arrow keys and WASD and hoping for the best?

I picked up the Microsoft RTS bundle in the Steam sale.  I played AoE2 and Rise of Nations the first time round, but AoE3 and Age of Mythology are new to me.  Sadly AoE2 HD means fixed size sprites at native monitor resolution, which is basically unplayable on a 3200x1800 13 inch laptop screen, so I'll probably wait a few more years before I get to actually play it.

So far I've only tried it on mobile. The controls still suck on mobile. Pretty badly actually. The controls made me give up once I got too far into the caves.

Pokemon or Big Data?  Probably easy for this crowd.

I should credit SlateStarCodex.  If you want to be convince of Scott's genius try this recent gem.

I know nothing about Big Data, yet was somehow able to easily get 100% on this quiz.
