Re: THQ files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Well insider stories are the whole upper management is plain incompetent and the CEO in particular.

[Finished] Dark Souls III | Dancer of the Boreal Valley
Quite happy to present you with the project I spent quite a lot of my spare time on.

Re: Is it cheating?
Many of the Italian Renaissance masters had apprentices who mixed their paint and contributed to more trivial parts of their paintings. Similarly, our 3D art hinges on the work of many others, and as technology ascends into higher domains of complexity, there become yet more and more levels of abstraction between the… -
