Re: Stereotypes in video games?
@Zwebbie I'm not planning to write about "stereotypes are bad blah blah", the aim of the paper is to show examples of stereotypes and the get the perspective views of gamers and designers and whether there is a reasoning behind the inclusion of these stereotypes and whether they effect the gamers outlook of the game. I… -
Re: What Countries do you all live in, and how do you like them?
The Netherlands - it's too small to have anything spectacular, but too modern to have anything picturesque. The highest mountain is a mere 300m above sea level. All forests are planted. The wildlife consists only of bog standard birds. This is a mountain in our eyes. This is a national park. The country's population… -
Re: Crap artist can't get job, whines about it
I think I'm outnumbered on Polycount by a lot, as I'm a very big proponent of college education, but I think the issue is about what someone expects to get from college. Most would-be game artists aren't really looking for a typical fine arts education; they want a technical education to teach them the ins-and-outs of… -
Re: LA or Montreal?
Hi Froggie!!! :D I live in Montreal, and I moved here from LA. I would say for the most part, LA is a lot better than MTL unless you're completely fluent in french (like Froggie), or young and single. Rent is a bit higher in LA, but the taxes in Montreal are the highest in North America. To give you an idea, if I made my… -
Re: Am I stupid? (Serious qeustion) School stuff
I wasted a lot of money on my degree. It didn't help me get my job - I have a business and new media design degree. I'm entirely self-taught and employed. I work with a number of folks who don't have a degree. At some point in your life you may wind up with not having a degree holding you back...but I doubt it. This is… -

Hi, thanks for the reply aesir. Here's what it is...for those of you who don't know Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a WWII game, comprising of two teams....Allies and Axis. The story I already have captured is Allied forces closing in on an allied base, killing many of the axis leaving two remaining, who run farther back… -
Re: Are character artists higher skilled than Environment artists?
Ouch, having a bad day? I don't believe anything I said was naive, disrespectful, elitist or bullshit. Could you point out what gave you that impression? edit: Is it because I didn't specifically say environment "assets" when I mentioned that, " most character artists could create better environments?" I assumed that that… -
Re: What about Animation Studios?
Cameron used Lightwave and Motionbuilder and an Innersense suite for previz on Avatar. Game engines at that point (bear in mind previz started in 2007) didn't have quite the same breadth of tools for that kind of work. Arguably we're only just reaching that point now. And you'd certainly need at least 6 hours of serious… -
Re: Legalization by 2010?
The guy that co-organized the initiative is sponsoring legislation to limit the number of clinics in LA. It hasn't turned out like he had hoped... "Now Imler shakes his head with dismay over what his law has wrought." http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-03-07-pot-clinics_N.htm "So many pot clinics have opened in L.A.,…
