Re: Post one nice photo you've taken recently
First off let say this, I've been using film and digital SLRs for about the same time(which is not long, and i am no expert) however, I feel this gives me a pretty balanced perspective on the pros/cons.

Re: indie game competition
There's a big difference between coming up with the aesthetic ideas of a game, the universe, the characters, the story etc. and coming up with the actual dynamics of the game that will make it a blockbuster. The casual observer will often mistake these aesthetics for what makes these games massive hits, when in fact the…
