Re: Bill Maher: Stand up for the 70% of Americans who aren't crazy
I recall a study that looked at public interest into sporting evens when the cultural and political aspects in society started to decay. It pretty much stated that it went up because people liked the structural rules that go mostly unbroken and were help responsible when they do. So anyway, with that in mind it worries me… -
Re: Sci-Fi Sniper Rifle
What does it mean to "earn the right" to make a goofy weapon? I've said it before and I'll say it again; this thought process is nothing but LAZY. There is no "right" involved, anyone can make anything they want, you dont have to "earn" anything; but that doesn't magically make it cool. I dont think Carol Shelby said "man… -
Re: Development Cycle Watermark

Re: Sony: Nobody will ever tap full potential of PS3
[ QUOTE ] I agree with Vig. I think the novelty of the wii-mote will wear off with time and they'll be left with their games to support them [/ QUOTE ] I'm sure there will be always very fun games for that console. Will the Wii-mote's novelty run out ? Sure, all novelty wears off, but i think it will take a long time. All… -
Re: Jack Thompson is blasted by pro-family group
Yeah, I doubt that Gabe and Tycho are doing anything but chuckling to themselves over Thompson's police fax. Where in the heck is the criminal harrassment? Or does Thompson think that by speaking those 'magic lawyer words', cops will spring into action? I'd think that your average local police give a little bit of… -

Okkun: We are working with MAX ( as we have our own inhouse normal map processing tools ) to produce very high poly models and then normal map them down to low poly before creating a Diffuse, Specular map by hand , based on the Normal map. Something like a standard L shaped support beam in the Liandri setting, I would… -
Re: Game Art Cliches
While I love the art direction in Uedas games (it's hardly a typical fantasy, but one heavily influenced by South American, Asian and European aesthetics) their brilliant design is where it's at. I'm not sure whether you have played ICO or SoTC, but those game are something different than what we have gotten used to;… -

Re: The future of storytelling in video games.
All of this is very re-assuring. What has everyone's experiences been like while trying to actually werk the problem? ( even failed ideas are extremely valuable ) Magic Sugar: restricting interactivity doesn't have to be noticeable. At times it can be built into navigation and position. As in film, you can tell much of the… -
Re: Anybody watch UFC 100?
lesnar could use some better actual fighting skills, but it's not uncommon for a guy that can just brawl to dominate, given his size, lesnar currently is unstoppable. He does have skill as a greco wrestler, and he's very decorated at it, so I think he can be a legit fighter if he just drops the wwe bullshit and actually…
