Bombard me with interesting articles!

I can generally suggest BBC articles, they stand for quality (imo).

But on a more game related look, have fun with this.

The magic constant 0x5f3759df in Quake III's src code:

reddit

stay out of the default subreddits, if you want more in-depth and quality

I've come across very few design articles that actually have any applicable wisdom to offer.

This is one of those rare articles which actually opened my eyes quite a bit and it helped me design a clever system in one of our latest PAYDAY 2 levels. The article is about interesting decisions.

Will make sure to check that out! Never heard of that magic constant, totally gonna read dat' stuff.

Hmm, is reddit really SFW enough? At home there's always some obnoxious stuff coming up, not often but often enough.

thats like asking if internet is SFW, if you search for porn you will find it, if you want to read about science you go to those subreddits

Mistakes in M:TG.

You can find a lot of good stuff on ted.com as well. Not necessarily games related, but interesting inspiration nonetheless

One essay of Bertrand Russell I really like, On Youthful Cynicism: http://vserver1.cscs.lsa.umich.edu/~crshalizi/Rus…l_cynicism.html

You may feel like it is outdated and that it will only serve to understand the in between WWs period, but it goes beyond that. If you're into power lectures this one is quite interesting nowadays and can open your eyes.

And here a video suited for everybody, funny and interesting about the relations of patronage when helping third world countries: http://www.ted.com/talks/ernesto_…t_up_and_listen Helping others is worth and admirable, but sometimes it is done plainly wrong, this video shows the receivers point of view in those cases.

Check out "Every Frame a Painting" :

pretty cool

HEYY !

Here's some stuff to occupy yer mind. Been reading a lot of stuff related to Bioshock for one of my projects and found this interesting piece of read. I knew they modified UE3 but... at this point. Makes me appreciate the work of graphics programmer:
