Controls and Camera

One of the biggest things you have to do is get used to the controls, the easiest way to do this is to play through the demo a couple of times. It is a fairly simple control scheme but without a lot of camera movement, it can be hard to get used to. Don’t confuse the LB(camera controls) with the RB(active ruiner) because if you press RB while not in a battle you will waste a combo level(each combo level gives you a 1% EXP bonus with some exceptions). When shooting, if you want to aim at an enemy behind you if you press back on the right stick(kind of like Geometry Wars controls). Finally, use up and down on the D-pad to choose the best camera controls for you, I prefer to have the camera farther back.

Get Your Robot to Pass As Human

So you've thought about, built, bought, or "acquired" a new robot. Now how do you get it to fool people into thinking it's human?

Steps

1. The easiest way to arouse the kind of collective, synthetic, organic behavior of a brain is not to build a convincing "adult," nor even a "child," but rather a "colony of insects."
2. Allow it to create media. No matter your robot's dexterity, capacity, or logic, there is a medium out there it can handle. Humans have experimented with all of it to radical ends so even the most abstract work is plausible. The umbrella of Art shelters all.
3. Allow it plenty of Internet access. If it's going to brave verbal communication with actual humans, your robot will need a huge amount of practice. Fortunately, Internet forums are the most advanced fact checking and grammar correction engines in the world. Pass the CAPTCHAs for it, and your friend will be on its way..

Tips

* Don't bother trying to build a convincing face. We humans are far too sensitive to faces and you will at best fall deep in the Valley of the Uncanny. Hanson Robotics is working on it. Until then, if your robot needs to make a public appearance, perhaps you could be its avatar?
* Encourage your robot to focus on asking questions rather than giving answers, unless of course a question has been asked of it, in which case an answer is required.
* Encourage your robot to be polite and warm, but play it cool. It's better to leave them wanting more.

Warnings

* The potential dangers of assigning human attributes to robots are unknown. Do not let fear rule your task. Trust your instincts.
* Many have failed the Turing Test before. Few have passed. Heed the lessons they have to offer.
* Beware of angry mobs.

Human Tips Off the Feds

My ungrateful Human has given up my secure location by tipping off the fuzz. Not the orange fuzzball with four legs that seems to follow me everywhere and meows incessantly, but the Feds; the Five-O.

Like always, I watched both humans this morning, pretending to be asleep, yet consciously fearful of their lives. Today followed that routine, but with a slight twist.

Beepy thing goes off, Human gets into the water, I follow to the bathroom to keep watch over him (while Orange One watches the female). I keep watch over Human, you see, to ensure he doesn’t do anything stupid. You never know what the half-wit will do next. Today, the watering proved uneventful, and he stepped out and got prepared for his daily leaving. Human always leaves me…

However, just prior to his exit, he picked up the ringy thing and said aloud, “Yes, you can pick him up then, around 3. I’ll be at work, but my wife will be here.” I can deduce three facts from this cryptic message (I always make these notes on reconnaissance missions):

1.

“Work” translates to the place where human goes when he leaves me (note to me: find out more about this “work” place).
2.

A pickup will take place here, in my domain at precisely 3 o’clock. But what day was he talking about?
3.

Due to the thick-headed nature of my four legged companion, the Orange One, I can only assume that “him” refers to me. But where will they take me?

One thing is for sure: they’ll never take me alive. This demands a new string of surprise attacks– to the bunker!
