Couldn't see an obvious thread for this.

So, as many here know I've recently decided to make life as complicated as possible by simultaneously moving home, getting a new job, and breaking up with my 3.5-year girlfriend.

Right now things are going pretty well, all moved into my new flat. No internet access until next week, so basically my only source of entertainment has been my PS3's wonderful world of Blu-ray, DVD, and games. Even my 3G mobile internet ran out so I'm currently in Subway writing this.

Except now my PS3 has just died as I'm about four missions away from completing GTA5 — looks permanent. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!

Just still in R&D knj. D:

Thanks Latteh, thought that was the case. Unstickied it to free up some room.

lol. The breakdown of how all the different industry roles see things is great.

“So what does a game designer do? Are you an artist? Do you design characters and write the story? Or no, wait, you’re a programmer?”

Game design is one of those nebulous terms to people outside the game industry that’s about as clear as the “astrophysicist” job title is to me. It’s also my job, so I find myself explaining what game design means to a lot of people from different backgrounds, some of whom don’t know anything about games.

Jesus what an unholy collection! Don't forget the sexy modelling shot with you wearing them all at once, we can have them all in our official fashion brochure.

It's back, but you knew that.

Seems to be some downtime on the chat server (it's separate). I've filed a support ticket so hopefully back soon!

Fruit Ninja and Cut the Rope are still pretty much the only mobile games I can actually recommend.

I have a pretty vast collection of electronica that I listen to while working, much of which lacks vocals but even the ones with vocals are pretty fine for working IMO.

I've posted a lot of it in the random music thread over the years, but here are some from today's playlist (go ahead and explore the artists further if you like):

Quote from Beck

I'm having some beers tonight. This makes me go:

I normally like stuff like Coors Light, Peroni, Amstel. We also have a Brew Dog in Birmingham which sells some damn tasty beers which get you off your face since they're so strong xD

A BrewDog opened here recently too, I was quite impressed by the place. Nice atmosphere, unique flavours, and having PS1/N64 consoles around to play on is a sweet touch.

Quote from D3ads

I'd come but... London.

Are you kidding? It's like a two-hour train from here.

It's just hilarious that those types want Snoop Dogg's voice narrating their shooting games.

OK, I took some nice ones too:

My own GTA5 photos are less beautiful, sadly.

lol it's so pathetic.

Can someone give a nice overview of the whole CGHub drama? Seems like a lot of different people making comments that are a bit biased/unclear.

I guess he's given up on the whole Snoop Lion thing now, then.

So much shit on Spotify.

So. Much. Shit.

Might be better to just meet the day before or something, then those up for the Eurogamer stuff can do that too.

It does get pretty queue-heavy, at least it did when I last went four years ago.
