I like GDC because the talks are less like conference presentations, and more like college level classes for game developers. :D

Very dense information, I didn’t really get all, the math is pretty interesting, tho. But why should I implement noise on CPU?

My brain during this is like ??...??..??

Thankfully, my GameMaker 1.4 games run on a single core.
