    Also, It's my third month of backpacking around Southeast Asia....Found my way to a remote island in the Philippines. The road ahead is full of curves and uncertainties...got no clue where I'll be sleeping the next night.

    Remote islands full of animal predators, hostile indigenous tribes and low internet bandwidth are the worst.

    Half a billion is a lot of cheese tho

    7 golden globes awards this year;

    From Damien Chazelle, If you lovd Whiplash, this one should please you too. It's really, really great, bot visually and musically.

    I've also watched Hacksaw Ridge, from Mel Gibson, which is a pretty good movie too.

    I went to see La La Land like a favour to this girl that I'm dating and I quite enjoyed the movie. I expected a corny musical and it turned out to be much better than that. Plus I got laid so all in all: 8/10 - would watch again.

  • Game Art to Level design (Career Path Suggestion Required)

    For simplicity's sake, think of the creation of a level to be 50% design and 50% environment art. It's two different disciplines working together. But they are not the same, because the people working in them have different goals and priorities. So you already got the 2nd half covered, which means that you can take a whitebox to a finished state by yourself - which is great as you won't need to rely on someone else to polish the visuals. But you cannot expect people to believe you that you got the first half of the process covered, because, well, it is a different thing. So it is time to start designing some levels, release them for people to play and be ready to explain why you made certain decisions when you encountered certain problems. The presentation of a portfolio is a topic by itself, but if you dig around you will find that we have resources on this as well. Good luck! :)

Working a different and completely unrelated job for these last years has given me a new appreciation for how nice it is to work in games, surrounded by talented people passionate about the same thing.

    So yay! I am back :D and hopefully this means I will be back on Mapcore more often too. :) Also, the amount of Hurgs in future videogames should therefore increase drastically.


    I have missed you all!

    I hear ya! Welcome back! :)

  • Battlefield 1

    I have spent 45 hours playing Battlefield 1 thus far and it is only getting more fun. :) One question about something that still puzzles me: tiny atmospheric flames on the ground that set me aflame within split-seconds when walking across them. So annoying. Why is that still a thing?

  • Im so lost right now. Need advice!

    Tisky, how about finding a different girl and actually having a good time instead of posting snaps trying to get her attention? That shit is weak. She is still having control over you.

    How likely is it really that she is going to leave you for her rich partner? I believe you when you say that you are more fun than him but financial stability has a strong pull on women especially when they reach a certain age. From my experience, when a girl tells you to "see other girls", she is not testing you to find out if you really want her more than other girls but instead she literally means: "This was a fling. It is over. I am not who/what you are looking for".

    What is not weak IMO is saying hi to her when you bump into her on the street. I wouldn't recommend to you to stay friends with her, because I can never do that when a girl breaks up with me myself. But keep some composure. I know you have heard this a thousand times probably but you need to meet other girls and you will soon find that this won't only take your mind off her but that you can have a great connection to other nice(er) ladies as well. Also, keep your chin up, mate! :)

  • Spider-Man: Homecoming

    No, I haven't. The last Marvel adaption I saw was Avengers 2 - scratch that, it was "Deadpool". But only because that one seemed to stick out from the superhero movie avalanche that only seems to be getting bigger over the past 2 years. If you're still getting excited over seeing Iron Man on the screen for the 12th time, that's cool. I've just grown tired of it comparetively quickly...
