Game Boy World #031: The go-like twofer
Added 2015-05-24 16:15:44 +0000 UTCPlease let me blow your mind by presenting the third Game Boy World video in the space of a week. Unthinkable! This one's a little different than usual in that it covers two games instead of one. Given their close chronological proximity and similar themes, though, it made sense to put them into a single episode. I'm sure there'll be many more multi-title episodes going forward. In a sad twist, this morning when I went to look up the copyright credit for the footage from A Beautiful Mind I'd rounded up for this, I discovered the inspiration for that film — John Nash — died this morning in a car accident. So here's to Mr. Nash, may he rest in peace.

It's A Beautiful Mind, in which Russel Crowe portrays a Nobel Prize-winning mathematician/economist/strategist. He's actually playing Go in that clip, not Reversi or Gomuku. RIP John Nash. He developed a lot of the thinking that people use now for creating strategies and economic thinking. His research helped computer scientists solve Chess. (Ironically because of that clip, Go is as yet unsolved.)
