The videos of the lectures are on YouTube.

I watched the first class of an Anatomy class on YouTube. That one was interesting. Good professor. And then it just got... too... much. @_@;;;
Actually. I'm sorry, but that's just Mathematics people being very... well you know what they're like, inventing situations to play with. Mathematicians can create a problem out of basically anything. They have chosen to dissect the game mechanism and theorize it. In reality however, if one gloats about their professional macro and micro skills, and was then asked about how long they can exercise it for in a management job interview - "3 flat hours in an arduous game!". Good luck with employment.

Anatomy? -searches-

An analogy to the double-slit diffraction experiment - and every set of data you enter is a single photon. (Every photon counts)

Is there a thread for this on the officials?
If someone would like to publicise the data collector, please do. I am not dealing on the Outspark forums.

Some annoying feedback XD It's neither here nor there.. but you MIGHT want to make it perfect...

1. STR / DEX / END / INT / SPR didnt quite follow the same order as in game list... i almost put my DEX in the END field...

2. The Dmg and M Dmg. When you strip the weapon off your character, there's only 1 figure for it, there isnt a xxx ~ yyy. It's just xxx.

That is all!
I thought it was S/E/D/I/S, I will make some changes!
And the damage thing - haha! I guess one can never be too careful. But it is a good data validation trap

Thanks for pointing that out.

Edit: I got myself to dig amongst my 2 GB of screenshots to find one that contains the stats window. Now I have it arranged in the same order.
