Game wishlist
Posted: 3 November 2007 in UncategorizedTags: airship, airships, art, digital art, fantasy, games, gaming, medieval, mmog, steampunk, wishlist
What I really want is a battlefield style game (such as Halo, Battlefield) but in a medieval/steampunk world. So weapons include slow-loading muskets, crossbows, swords, bows & arrows, daggers, clubs, etc. There would be stationary siege weapons like catapults, trebuchets and scorpions. For vehicles, there would be horses, possible fantasy creatures (but not dragons — too powerful), ships, and air ships (like zeppelins). And of course, this should be an MMOG. Now someone go build it.
And check out David Edwards’ site (image link above). Some really cool digital art, if you’re into it. Naturally the airship is my favorite, but Sky Castle, Versity, and 3001 AD are right up there.
My Google Wishlist

Currently the features I want Google to add:
- add Google Scholar to search history
- add links for citations included in the paper for each result
- allow the two functions: cites and citedby for searching
Note: This is a very incomplete list, just what’s pressing at the moment.
Regarding (2), currently when you are presented with the papers in the search result, there is a link that looks like
I’d like a link added that shows you results for everything this paper cites, so I don’t have to open the paper and manually search for everything in there. The link would basically say “Cites 13 articles” (or something similar). That’s not so hard, is it?
And for (3), I want to be able to search the papers that cite a particular paper or author and the papers that are cited by a particular paper or author. There are definitely more issues that need to be worked out for this, since it would be a many-to-many explosion in the case of ill-formed queries. Maybe just an option to narrow it down so we’re searching based on a paper that was already turned up in a search.
Update
Added (3) after the original post.
