I like Valve as much as the next guy, but part of me really feels like they are a bunch of talented individuals running around with their heads cut off sometimes. And this blog almost confirms that to some degree. Now don't get me wrong, I think the creative freedom at Valve is amazing and that other companies should mimic…
I'm lucky enough be in Haz's character course, so here's mah thread! I've chosen to do a version of Dizzy from Guilty Gear X. Like some of the others I'm gonna try and catalog the process and TOP-SECRET Haz advice and so on :) [course threadz: Hazardous: Miku | almighty_gir: Rogue | MrSkullFace: Samus | YBourykina: Lady…
In a production environment running unique shaders on everything will grind your game to a halt, even if your shipping a game on UDK you will only have a limited amount of instanced shaders (Compare the performance of Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 2). So you never really have the freedom anyway. It can be frustrating that…
The laws of the United States make it possible for anyone to say anything they want to, even if it happens to offend someone else. This is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it insures open dialogue, and removes most of the consequences for speaking your mind. And this means people get to say what they feel, a lot more…
Nice detailing on the Heavy Arms Gundam.

Maybe this is the material you rendered out with, but if you look below at the model kit reference, you'll notice…

I'm not saying D2 was perfect. But it did give you the freedom to experiment, and if they'd have put a team on that system to revamp it and balance it out, making the different skills more useful, it would have worked way better. I remember way back, nobody would EVER dare to make a poison dagger necro - but I was…

You still have to wait out your lease or try and break it, which normally incurs some kind of stiff penalty fee. When renting you can't wake up one morning, walk out the door and never look back, you're still reasonable for upholding your end of the contract. The more equity you have in your house, the faster you can get…
I judged by how you presented yourself and how you are currently presenting yourself. You came across to me as lacking in confidence in your abilities and being sulky because you felt hurt by the big bad industry. Judge me by my avatar. Make assumptions. Call me a judgemental bitch. Call me a kid. I don't care. I've been…
