Researchers at McGill University in Montreal on Monday made a breakthrough in the treatment of Lazy Eye, and published a scientific paper revealing some rather fascinating news:
apparently, Tetris may actually be a sound cure for the disorder. The

Angelina: An AI That Makes Video Games
Artificial intelligence is, for all the advances we’ve made, still
remarkably artificial; remarkably limited. Sure, Cleverbot can sometimes
