Re: Copyright, IP, and infringement. Oh my!
there are alternatives already (as mentioned). but those alternatives don't translate to all genres. (rpg, fps) (i personally wouldn't touch any game with a subscription system - reminds me too much of a gym membership... uggh) but another example, (sorry to bring up again :P ) is League of legends. the game is completely… -
Re: Substance Designer Materials
Tiling Red Bricks; The bricks have a ton of edge damage but no damage in the center of the bricks. The bricks are also a bit too smooth. Your colour variation looks like it was 2 shades of red mapped to a grunge map. I’d suggest throwing in some other various colours because this wall doesn’t look like it’s very new. Grey… -

Re: Diablo 3
@Jackwhat I'm not defending the practice of releasing an unfinished product. I'm not saying D3 is an unfinished product. I'm saying that Blizzard games always improve drastically throughout time.

Also , your webpage, email and phone number is usually placed at the end with the title card. 1. The first animation , the character is… -
Re: Mass Effect 2
I sided with Jack in that argument too since she was the one I was romancing. Finished the game last night and still couldn't romance Miranda even with full Paragon. You probably have to use the Charm dialogue in to resolve that argument to romance both. You can continue playing after you finish the game to continue the… -
Reuse of UV Mapping Space
