Hey, I haven't read the whole thread either. I am an AMD fanboi. Really, I hated each and every Nvidia I had in the past. That said... Bulldozer is a massive disappointment. Ivy Bridge is the king at the moment. Don't waste your money on an AMD setup, I'd say. Even if you go a couple of generations back, Intel is still…
Thanks Joseph, Selaznog:) I'd love to work more on character concepts sometime! atm though, portfolio work calls x] Here's a concept I've been working on. It's based on a scene from one of my favorite books, First King of Shannara by Terry Brooks. The characters are searching for a powerful relic in an ancient fortress…
I'd say for the most part unless you plan on going to VFS or Guild Hall, stay away from most of the game design programs, some are ok, but most aren't. Get a fine art degree and learn to model/texture/ 3d-ize stuff through tutorials and help via websites like this one. I also hear Spark is doing good things over at AI…
what's to stop you from looking secondhand? yes, it's harder to source, but i'd rather get the undisputed best CRT in the world than have to deal with the crapshoot that comes with buying an LCD. i got my fw900 for $50 and i see people get them for free quite often... you just need to stop being lazy and look beyond the…
i like the idea of a weekly check in. should there be a certain day? ive also heard the whole "skip the drive thru" thing. basically if i do grab fast food, ill try to at least sit and eat inside. eating while driving causes you eat faster i guess and the faster you eat the more you can eat before you feel full, so…
okay - I actually had some ideas about this while I was at work today (bug fixing day so lots of opputunity to think) wall of text: Name: Princess Hadrienne. Age: 21 Bio: born the daughter of a subjugated king, Hadrienne grew up feeling that she was denied the life that she deserved as part of her birthright, she is bright…
Not derail the thread, but this is something which I kinda saw happen as a debacle not tooooo long ago. A few sites (one of them is called GoMakeSammich I think? Been a while) argued that the King of Fighters female characters were 'OK' because that is what represented in their culture, especially for the J-Pop costumes.…
Majority of problems were related to bios rom chips, remember the Asus A8N Deluxe? That was a terrible AMD board. Overclocking is a joke anyway, why on Earth someone would want to push hardware past safe working limits is totally beyond me. About psu's: todays top quality motherboards have voltage detection and will not…
I was wondering if anyone has actual numbers. For either studios they work at, or know the numbers of. (I had an interesting discussion with some friends, and we feel that number is REALLY low worldwide). Not including outsourcing houses. If you know the actual numbers for any studios, let me know. I am NOT trying to push…
Better than the first, feels a bit more thought out than before. It could do with a bit more detail, though, and you might want to look at creating a bit more transfer between your sentences; they feel more like independent statements than parts of a paragraph. If you can tie those sentences into a more cohesive structure…
