Couldn't help myself. I hope you do make it. Looked up the conversion and that is a LOT of weight for a bench press!

lmao xD

MapCore's SpronyvanJohnson speaks with Mateusz 'seir' Piaskiewicz, Senior Level Artist for Techland who's worked on franchises such as Call of Juarez and Dead Island. Born and raised in Poland, seir was officially schooled to be a Landscape Architect but his passion for modding and games led to him switching careers. Enjoy an insight into how a seasoned game developer gets things done with this in-depth interview.

That looks sweet! Those colours are to die for.

Seems like they're handling things incredibly badly right now. All I've really heard about since launch is problems and lawsuits.

Continuing to play around and I've left a UK-based server running on 178.79.176.222.

If anyone wants to join it and mess around feel free, although I can't guarantee it won't vanish/crash because it looks like dedicated servers currently have memory leaks and shit. I'm mainly leaving it up to monitor what happens.

If anyone does join it, let me know if you have performance issues or shitty ping (not that I can even figure out how to view pings and such in-game).

It's actually hilarious how quickly I got completely overwhelmed to the point of running out of the game screaming last night. I was on my little ship thinking that this all seems quite straightforward, but the moment I beamed down onto a planet I was immediately ravaged by a mob of horrifying creatures. I ran like shit, only to end up stumbling into like three different types of flying/jumping fucks, so I legged it in the opposite direction with all of the aforementioned chasing me. I jumped into some cavern opening, but I was in too much of a panic to figure out how to use the light source that I so obviously needed and just went increasingly deep into a dark abyss until eventually I ended up in water and drowned.

This game definitely needs more work, but it's an interesting thing. I kind of think they should have gotten it more complete and refined before putting this out into the wild though, a lot of people are going to play this and get put off by its issues.

I'll wait and see about the music, but to be honest I don't think the first The Hobbit film really bowled me over musically as much as Lord of the Rings. It was good, though.

I think in some ways the LOTR soundtrack is Howard Shore's ultimate contribution to the world of classical music — his creative peak that'll be remembered for generations to come. So many incredible themes and styles in that soundtrack, all unique and highly memorable. When you listen to the extended edition soundtracks it's just mindblowing stuff that you can truly lose yourself in.

In comparison, all The Hobbit can really do is pay tribute to it by trying to match it with a few new themes while revisiting old ones.

Going to watch this today but can't decide if I should go with 2D like I did last time or bite the bullet and try IMAX HFR whatever-the-fuck.

Merry Christmas everyone, may everyone survive their inevitable drunken stupors and marathon gaming sessions!

I really like the look of this. I think it can be summed up as the 'end of the world' version of Groundhog Day, but I loved that film so what the hell. Same guy who directed The Bourne Identity so it at least stands a chance of not fitting into the 'epic sci-fi idea but shitty execution' genre, although you might have to just pretend Jumper doesn't exist...

That soundtrack really reminds me of the Berbils in ThunderCats, though:

Shit man, I really need to fix the search feature — it didn't come up with anything!

OK, closing this.

Saw this trailer while looking at some other stuff on YouTube, I really like the look of this.

This should be interesting. Having made myself an expert with Wikipedia, looks like this is directed by the guy who did the cinematography for basically every Christopher Nolan (who is producing) film. But can his clear expertise in his former role translate to putting together an incredible film? Shall soon find out!

The overall concept looks great, and I'm genuinely delighted to see Johnny Depp doing a more serious role as he has done in the past. It's easy to forget how good he can be in menacing/serious roles after years of seeing him in comic roles.

lmao. I bet there's at least one person in the world who has been furiously checking every PS4-selling site every minute they're awake since the launch.

I wonder if they'll start adding locations and unique stories to the MP that never make it to the SP. That'll sure make it interesting.

Nice one. I'm sure you can abuse your affiliation with legendary former employee Mazy to get 'special treatment'.

Got this shit arriving tomorrow. See you next year guys.

Haha, that one is really cool. I love the range of movement tricks, not to mention the vibe of the art — reminds me of Dizzy for some reason.

Are those enemies meant to be evil mugs?
