My 2^8 game!
Hah, another milestone: reached my 256th game!
Recenlty I had some marvelous games, like when my gobbos killed 6 elves in the 145 semi-finals or when my 1500 TV Box gobbos beat a 2200 TV Clawpomber team.
All that was fun so I looked forward for this milestone. I was kinda excited.
The result was terrible though :D I was playing without ever thinking about what the heck my team is doing on the pitch...
So I lost a nice 3-0 out of a game which could have been much better if I pay at least minimal attention to playing. Which is even worse is that it was a RTTNAFC game :D
Well, that's usual with the milestones. You expect something epic but find nothing shiny.
Looking forward for for the 1024th game soon! :D

Well I guess that's the binary nature of Blood Bowl! Sorry, I'll get a taxi.
Grats on the milestone, keep it going.

can we get a special badge of manliness made for this guy? or a special badge of shame on that clawpomb coach's page perhaps?
dang

Is 256 prime?

Grats on the achievement! And that clawpomb match was a joy to spectate indeed!
I may be naive - but is there something special to the number 256? Aside its a milestone to reach?
Just wondering if it has any special meaning as coaches normally choose game 200, 300 or 500 (you get the idea..)? Roante demasked as numerologist?

256 and 1024 are square numbers. Is that the pattern?
Posted by Harad on 2015-01-26 10:43:18
It's a round number in binary terms. So just as 100 and 1000 are 'big numbers' in a base 10 system (10^2 and 10^3) in binary 2^x are the 'big numbers'. Mathmos like to think in binary because it is pure coincidence that we have ten fingers and so settled on a base 10 system. Base 2 is more 'natural'.
Apologies for the geek download.
And no 256 isn't prime, it's divisible by 2 for a start :)

Yup, Harad knows the answer :-)
