Quote from HourencesI would liked a new theme though. Away from the white-brown-black portal style.
Yea I don't mean to belittle your efforts, it is probably tons of work to create as it is, but a visually different setting would have been awesome...
Yeh the 2nd stage is cool, but then they take it to this pseudo RTS stage which isn't fun to me at all 
Good interview worth reading:
Just popping in to say that the abbreviation "CS" is already taken by Counter-Strike! Stop confusing people dammit! 
Isn't this similar to what happened in Germany a few years back? I learnt pronouncing certain words, use punctuation one way and then the government introduced a new orthography which is supposed to make it easier for kids to learn it. For example the borrowed word "portemonnaie" (french word for wallet) that is common use in German has been changed to "portmonee". Or the infamous constellations of 3 letters ("Schifffahrt") that were impossible before. Harmless? Maybe for kids who learnt it from the get go, but it sucks when you are told in 10th class that this is not the way you are supposed to write anymore. The original way is inccorect, thankfully there was a gliding time where both orthographies were legit during exams AS LONG AS you stuck to one throughout. Honestly I've never bothered to wrap my head around the new way of spelling until today. There was also a huge controversy in the press, certain papers refused to adapt to the new style and there was a time when it almost looked like everyone would dismiss the idea and just fall back to the old system, but I guess it prevailed. I still think it was a waste of time and work, when this country had a lot more important things to deal with.
I'm also in the 2nd stage at the moment, it's kinda fun developing the creature, but I feel forced to be overly aggressive. I'm a herbivore and decided before playing not to be a destructive asshole this time around, yet the most rewarding way to collect DNA points seems to be to kill other creatures. I had a powerful but mostly defensive creature in mind, something like a flying rhino (lol I know) but it is turning more into raptor-bird kind of thing. Anyway I present to you Urg from planet Lorg:

What do your creatures look like?
That looks mighty cool, I dig the organic style!
Crytek once again proves that its one of the premiere shooter developers in the industry, even if it does get an unfair rep as being “just” a technology company. Comments like that make it seem as if the Crytek had a chip on its shoulder, because it addressed almost every complaint about Crysis and then some. I found Warhead to be challenging, exciting, wild, and, yes, very much full of swagger and fury.
I'm pleased that the game is doing very well in reviews and I'm looking forward to play the new missions!
Quote from IzunoYay! Truth is, no one really knows what's going to happen to WoW subscriptions fo' sure...I have to find a real topic and work mapcore into it...http://dailygame.net/news/archives/008255.php
After reading that column it looks like at least one of us already did some research on the subject 
Seriously cool, thanks for the link!
Thanks guys, oh and I finally got all right to use this smiley as often as possible: 
I hate to rain on your parade but the past tells me that it won't be long until Paramount shuts it down :-|
I've also got some news regarding an internship - part of my studies is a mandatory 6 months internship which I will do at Nintendo Europe, European Marketing. I will start in October and be back in Frankfurt, I'm currently looking for accomodation, met a lot of old friends from Crytek and look forward to rescue some princesses with my new boss Mr. Mario 
Thanks to everyone from the Core who I contacted and who gave me advice during my search, love you guys!
Uwe Boll is a walking PR disaster, well, that's interesting news...
Good recap on the other subjects though. Man some of those PR stunts by Acclaim were wrong in so many ways..
Quote from zaphod
Man I remember when I saw this room the first time in cs_estate, I was wondering what acid trip the creator must have been on while making that....today, it all makes perfect sense.
Woah, didn't expect it to painlessly bring me straight to the app. Open, edit, save...from everywhere, brilliant! 
Exams phase oooverrrr :arrow: PARRRTY OOOON!!!! 
:ssj:
I guess the BiA:Hell's Highway team needs to work on something as soon as that game is out the door! But for the 'next xbox'? Isn't that a little too far ahead? 
That one guy has a t-shirt of a skull embedded into a heart. Pretty badass
