Great article. I enjoyed reading every bit of it. [ QUOTE ] The real innovations and possibilities BEGIN when we hit that brick wall of "ok, well we can simulate a perfect reality, now what?" [/ QUOTE ] Make it fun. Realism looks nice, but it isn't fun. That's why it's a novelty that dies quickly once you've seen it.…
kodde, we generally go through the moderation process at least once a day, and considering a lot of the admins/mods are in different time zones, we can catch these fairly early and sort them out without it being an issue. And considering there are a few of us, this process can occur multiple times a day. There are times…
if you're in QA, make sure the people who come before you in the pipeline, like content creators, work with you to build QA steps within the pipeline itself. That's why everyone should be familiar with the bug reporting tools. And just as sprunghunt said, try to use simple english or make sure everyone uses the same…
Well I do have an opinion about HRO(Hogeschool Rotterdam). It was pretty much the same as what these guys are talking about. I quit after 1 year, and figured I'd just get a part-time job and in my spare time, I'll just practice my art at home. With traditional art, everyone knows HOW to do it, you pick up a pencil/brush…
I think it would be more accurate to call it "humor" rather than "petty malice". Jokes have to be made at someone's expense. Why not John Romero's? Seriously though, who else is he going to attract other than egomaniacs when he starts asking for "supercore" talent? I think it would be great for Romero to develope a really…
Im gonna be a bum-bum and say, why did they pick dirt 2 to demo these features..... Who cares what fancy techniques are being used on the flag waving in the corner that i see for .5 second as I whizz past driving my car, seriously I wouldnt even notice the crowd if they had 20,000 poly each and every single one of them was…
it seems to me that when I (a canadian) wants to sell something over turbo squid, TS takes 50% of the money right off the top, and then sends me the rest. when it crosses the boarder, the US government takes 35% of my share as some.. kind of.... non-us citizen witholding tax? or some kind of crazy thing. i can't remember…
I liked it. I'm glad they took Bond in this direction. It was good to see Bond get his hands dirty but still be Bond. I blame the popularity of televised poker for the painfully long poker scene. Hopefully on the "directors cut" DVD they will "cut" the poker scene down. Why does televised poker captivate so many people?…
I'm sort of with East... recommend to the boss the fear of termination. Let them know that you're aware of bit torrent usage and if caught, you'll be terminated. The thing is, do you know for sure they are doing illegal downloads? Remind your boss of that. How do you know that they are playing the games? Even further, why…
lawlz @ per ;) The reasons why i use the mouse have been pretty much said mainly by mop "I like being able to click on an object and move it by exactly one pixel, sort of thing - no real reason for it, I guess I'm just a little obsessive." and sage: "I found the pen stressed my wrist when modeling in a 3d app. Working on…
