Will be surprised if this doesn't suck. DC should just license all their comics to Marvel Movie Studios.

Haha yeah. I had a User ID or like #140 on the official Vanguard SOH forums. There's was tons of neckbeard discussion back in the day. I was really excited to make it into beta. Then I logged in for about 2 hours, and uninstalled. Regardless of it was a good game or not (it wasn't) the...

There are obviously many jobs where the question "what side projects have you done" doesn't apply. But for jobs like programmer or technical artist, anyone who is doing passion projects on the side is vastly more likely to do better work on the clock. Both fields have near bottomless depths of...

I've heard one of the best programmer interview questions is: "what side projects have you done"? If they've never done any don't hire them. Anyway, I highly recommend the military, simulation, and training sector. Basically it is game development but (1) better hours, (2) better pay, (3)...

Good programming music IMHO is anything dark and ambient. Listen to a lot of these at work: Solar Fields Carbon Based Lifeforms Stellardrone Eve Online Soundtrack

There is a database on fatal dog maulings on Wikipedia. About 75% of the recent ones seem to be pitbulls and the vitims are mostly kids or old ladies. There are links to the news report source so I suppose nobody can really call BS on these stats. Fatal dog attacks in the United States -...

This is the main reason I won't own a dog over 25 pounds. Too much liability. When's the last time you heard of a fatal YorkiePoo mauling? Also, their poops are much, much smaller...

Yeah, cool. More deck links like this please.

^ this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've read: - publishers must decide if users can sell mods and they decide the cut modders get - Bethesda decided modders only get 25% of Skyrim mods, not Valve - Valve only gets its standard cut just like every other transaction Bethesda is...

Does any non-keyboard turner ever use camera auto-follow? I disabled it even in WoW, which probably has the best 3rd person controls of any MMOG. Besides, how can you jump through someone, instant snap 180, and backstab someone with camera auto-follow on? How can you side strafe, snare, and...

Last two projects I worked on we did extensive stored procedures for common transactions. However, all DBs were created and populated via plain text .SQL scripts (exported from MySQL Workbench), so very easy for version control. However, neither project was big data on 24/7 live DBs, which is...

Oops yeah, should have worded it HTML >> JSON. Probably sending JSON strings over HTTP, rather than transforming some arbitrary string sent via HTTP into a JSON string. But yeah, the converting JSON into XML to talk to a database is the big WTF. I'd like to see a diagram of this system.

This sounds non-sensical. Convert HTTP to JSON, to XML, to SQL. Then the entire chain would go back the other way for responses? I don't get it...

What constitutes "all natural"? Anything but steroids? Just saying, you could approach the fitness of most of those dude in those LDN ads with just: - protein - creatine I don't have good genetics to be huge - 6'1 and about 180' if I don't work out at all. Clearly ectomorph. When I was in...

If true, I'm out already. Unless drop-through macros work.

Kickstarted this but waiting until a few patches. Did the same With Shadowrun and Wasteland 2. Both awesome games but glad I waited for the initial bugs to be patched out.

^ Personally, the only reason this game even has my interest is the campaigns. It solves the biggest problem in persistent PVP games: one faction / guild / whatever gain permanent dominance over a server and the other side just gives up and quits. Saw it happen in many games. The only way to...

More votes for: - EQ: Enchanter - EQ: Bard - DAOC: Animist - DAOC: Healer - WAR: Disciple of Khaine / Warrior Priest

Lol, but yeah. That pic is awful.

That isn't so ground-breaking because isn't that the case for Second Life? Now if there was a real game there it might be cool. I have zero interest in 2nd Life though, aside from the technical:

Also, unlike older versions U4 has no limit on number of players. Here's a reply from Tim Sweeney himself: More than 32 players supported in UE4? Max AI supported? Your main bottlenecks will be server bandwidth and then rendering player models if many are in the same area. Since you get a...

Yeah geekpin, nerdpin, or pin.games. Other stuff: - needs way more categories (obviously) - can we not need to fill out captcha after registering Awesome idea though. Would be cool if it catches on.

Off that page there's a link to Storybricks shutting down as well. In theirfarewell letterthey say they were going to buy SOE and the assets from 38 Studios. Wait so .... a company of 10 guys who has been working on "Emergent AI" for 5 years with absolutely nothing to show for it, has suckers...

Yeah, Unreal 4 is free now and superior to Unity in pretty much every way. I guess that includes price now ...

EQ3 should have been: - EQ1 but with better graphics, moddable UI, WoW Armory / Magelo integrated into client, etc. - competitive PVE by integratingWoW Progressinto the client and web site. - raid progression stats get updated until new raid content gets released, old stats get saved for...

Yeah, off to a good start.

Extended dream sequences: writers love them, whereas audience generally hate them? I cannot remember anyone ever saying "man that was an awesome dream sequence." The only thing worse is musical episodes of a show that isn't a musical. Anyway, this dream sequence was somewhat bearable since...

Yay for Florida no state tax. Hiyoooooooooo.

- trailer looks badass? Check. - gameplay looks badass? Check. - name of game ... Grey Goo? WTF they couldn't have come up anything better?

If it was about any other subject besides a musician, this should have been the theme song:

Didn't see it mentioned above, but their new Finance Minister worked for Valve on Steam Market analysis. Valve's Economist Yanis Varoufakis Appointed Greece's Finance Minister - Slashdot Hmm, trading cards did wonders for Steam's economy.

Ehh so Kickstarter loves some Shadowrun. 21 days to go, all main goals completed (definitely looking forward to beefed up decking Matrix). Last one is additional super-high level campaign after the main one. Shadowrun: Hong Kong by Harebrained Schemes LLC Kickstarter

There's another balance / bug fix patch coming. Consensus on the balance threads in the official forums is that nearly all guns, aside from ARs, need buffs and the glaring issue where wearing no armor vs. energy weapons is actually preferable. Assuming they will address those plus a bunch of...

Yeah TBH, every COD game since MW1 the MP maps have consistently gone downhill in terms of everything, including fun factor. This is the first COD (aside from the WW2 one) which I didn't get max level in MP. Just traded it in due to boredom. Although, unlike most of the CODs this SP campaign was...

Totally forgot I got the collector's edition from Kickstarter. Came in the mail a couple weeks ago. It comes in an ammo crate so I threw some ammo in it. Cloth maps ftw.

GameDev.net Game Developer Forums They are usually good at answering questions ASAP. They have subforums for the most common subjects and and APIs, like DX, OpenGL, math, physics, AI, general game programming, networking, etc.

The best Kickstarter vid I've seen. Website is lol:STRAFE Kickstarter:STRAFE? by Pixel Titans | Kickstarter Looks pretty badass:

Lol true. I thought his tweet was kinda funny. Pretty easy to see how watching a movie about a sniper, especially while high, could remind you of another fake movie about a sniper. But holy shit, the Breitbartians are full on rustled though. They are carrying out an inquisition in the...

Sorry, no dice. I sat on my ass and drank coffee in an air-conditioned radio room on a ship for 4 years. On the night shift we played Daggerfall and Diablo on laptops or non-secure PCs.

I'm in for $15. Shadow Run : Dragonfall was great. Wish they would do a director's cut of the first one.
