Well I guess since there's no DW this year, they gotta find another way to try and keep up with the Jones's.

Just that obviously there's a bit of competition between PC and GA, and there's been a lot of talk recently about the new PC site, and then GA announce they're about to launch their new site.
As I said, not genuinely related, just seems ironic in a comical way. Or not.
Ok I'm going now.
However there are those who only post on GA, a select few of whom I've read post some asshole comments about PC that fired up a bit of nerd rage in me.
Because there is serious competition going down here.
Agreed, but, likewise, there are those that post only on PC, who will blast GA. This thread itself might have been taken solely as a way to stir up anti-GA sentiment, though it seems pretty civil in here. I just think there are some who do take a little too much pride in their virtual spare-time social structures.
Its probably stemming from the pretenders and new members who wish to belong among the vets.
Those who stir up controversy seldom have anything meaningful to contribute nor have a significant artistic presence on either board so I wouldnt take it too close to heart CreationTwentyTwo
I know right, I knew it was a dumb use of the word... I just couldn't find the correct one.
I do know the meaning of ironic...
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife right?
Seriously though... my bad, it was an incorrect usage.
And apologies for the seemingly blatant attempt to stir up some unnecessary competition. Not intentional, I just thought it was... [insert correct word here].
In all honesty it's exciting that two of the best game art communities are getting overhauled around the same time. I'm looking forward to seeing both.
PC more though obviously
For always and for ever!
A better tone would be a "hey Game Artisans are updating their site too; check it out" kind of thread. But since theres nothing to check out right now, its probably best to wait until it actually arrives.
they are fat!
People get wider exposure, or they want to get more updates and points of view than what being "faithful" in one community\forum can offer. Not to mention possible bias due to that so it makes perfect sense. Updating and spring cleaning is something a lot of communities and organizations are doing lately and some really need it too!
Sounds good to me
Where's rens when I need him the most... BACK ME UP BUDDY!
I'm not sure why he needs to shut down GA and update though, GA is pretty awesome already.
We have ways to deal with people like you. Never mess with the Guild.
GameArtisans for ever!!
lol
Same. I've been over there a few times, but for whatever reason it's hard to figure out where to start. Looks like they have some really talented people though, oh my god.
And zacd.
Somehow the art other artists post there isnt as inspiring or interesting as the art that is posted on polycount(except for the stuff they showcase)... just look at these results from one of their comps: http://www.gameartisans.org/contests/minis/view_entries_painting_25.html Its all kind of 'meh' with a few exceptions.
Curious to their plans though, weren't they going to open up some sort of outsourcing studio or something?
nothing in this song is ironic. it should be called Unfortunate.
Note to self: apparently EVERYONE can get internets...
Adam, et al, if you do something like this you'll officially be piles of fuckturds :poly124:
lol!!!! And God you people've been running over creationtwentytwo just because he used the word ironic to explain GA is suddonly upgrading right when PC is...
I'd say both sites provide pretty much the samething and serve the greatest purpose on the internet, its not "mine is bigger than yours" type of issue here.
Oh wait. I just killed the thread!! O.O
WTF? No offense to them but that seems to make no sense? I thought it was a delayed april fools joke :S
What the hell is "ability to use high speed internet" Do they make you pay to have the site load faster? Or do you go sit in their gallery and use their internet? ...very strange ideas
Also : polycount = message board
game artisans = message board
Its not a way of life.
I guess people look at them more like factions/gangs due to dominance war, but eh. Mostly the banter I've seen that comes from DW is all playful.
If the membership was to make a kick-ass online community for game artists, with quality video tutorials, mentorships, etc, I'd be the first one to line up with money in hand. Right now it seems like a step backwards, something that would only benefit a select few and divide the community.
But yeah, it sure does looks pretty, I'm not denying that.
Nah, GA just needed a little spring cleaning. Site's a big mess and everything. I know Polycount said they were updating theirs, but it's been going on for ages now. If both get released at the same time, blame the fresh air of spring. Makes us do crazy things.
SIMPSONS DID IT!

I find the crits over at GA to be pretty good at times. If you want to see some really blatant plain asslicking you should have a look at www.zbrushcentral.com and look at the muppets commenting there. I'm not saying the art sometimes isn't amazing there, but I'm sure people would wet their pants over pretty much anything as long as it's A) on the top row, and/or
Phew.
I'm glad you guys don't hear me rant about this at work when I'm browsing that place.
