you are right that there is not that much going on here. In fact, there is little bafoonery here, so it's an easy place to mod. The admins can moderate here, too.
If you feel strongly, ask Mojo, Zilla or Mojo about it.

education never hurts. it shows can learn and that you are probably more "rounded" out than people who don't have a degree. however, that is all on paper. once you meet someone for an interview, your education or lack there of is just resume fodder.
if you do go to college, for god sakes join a mod team and build your own portfolio. play games, learn the market and have a website or dvd that you can point people to with your stuff.
ultimately for an artist or design position, experience >> education

technologically very nice.
only wish they actually had good writing and directing...cause it's utter garbage in this one.
still, this video proves you can do good stuff in the engine.

omg yes i love this idea

Simply put, for those of you that did buy Half Life 2, how did you buy it? There has been talk of this informally, and Ol did have a poll on how people intended to buy it, but now that the game has been out a couple weeks it would be nice to see how people actually bought it.
There are some people I work with (some senior people, in fact) that cannot believe that anyone would buy games from something like Steam. So I just sigh and post a Mapcore poll.
Thanks for your input.

I miss snow. We got great snow in mountains, but nothing like that here...just "cool" weather and some gray skies.

MSN
really. it's just a decent general news site with top headlines in easy to get to place. there are far far better sites, but i'm lazy.

Fakedawg,good to see you here sir
I second that.
To expand on FakeDawg's point about examing the engine, I suggest playing HL2 from start to finish at least a couple times to examine the architecture, level of detail, entities in action etc. Also play CS:S to examine how they ported the CS maps into the new engine. Once original Source MP maps come out for CS and eventually DoD:S and other mods, examine them too. The more you study other peoples works, the more you understand what it takes to be original. We love original ideas around here.
Good luck and have fun.

indeed your first map will suck..and second, third etc. but you will get better if you keep at it.
more than anything, as you learn to map, getting feedback from people does help. learn to take criticism as feedback.
most of all, have a good attidute a don't be affraid to experiment. you will learn more by reading tutiroals and doing trial&error than by doing anything else.

we have a few at the office. it sure is big. i like my GBA SP cause it's sleek. if they keep making great GBA games, I'll keep playing the GBA and prob won't ever get a DS unless i manage a DS game at some point.

i doubt i'll get to it. i mostly manager shooter/action stuff...not stealth...and i barely have enough time.
i would very much like to know what people around here think of it.
right now i got HL2, Halo2 in the hopper...with GTA:SA and a few others waiting...LotR:BfME...um...BiA later...too many games...stop....coming at me....

funny, people compain that WW2 has been done to death in games.
but the reality is we haven't even come close to the potential of WW2 drama in video games yet. i'm not saying you have to like BiA or anthying, your opinion is just as valid. but give Gearbox some credit for trying to do something new in WW2 gaming, even it is still fundamentally a shooter. personally i'm very glad they are trying to evolve the shooter (ww2 shooter esp) genre this way.
yes cinematic dialog in the trailer...i'm sure the writer is a tool.
-
Well it is very clear what Gearbox is going for, and how Ubi is trying to position it. I think it cleary stands apart from MoH, CoD, and BF 1942.
Can't wait to play it.

i'd have a massive mapcore party...start off at Tahoe for snowboarding and partying with skibunnies...then head down to vegas..
maybe New Zealand....though I still need to make the pilgrimage to Normandy.

highly doubt this happening....so what if someone connects from a college network? they're going to block the entire campus from playing hl2...doubtfuli doubt this is even going to happen anyway.....it takes more then one person to look up the ip's and then have them banned off valve....and i highly doubt any game publisher, designer or anything having to do with the game will invest resources into something they know they could never control.
well....actually, it is possible.

the thing about Dog is that it feels like an actual character...as does Alyx of course. When we first meet Dog you really see how attached Alex is to him (er...it). It's refreshing to know that video games are evolving where we're the characters are more and more life like.
Also...It's great how there is an obvious back story, but they don't dwell too much on explaining it and let you experience it as you go through, revealing what they need to bit by bit.

A guy at work had that too Izuno. Now my steam is updating hl2 so I guess they already popped out an update/bug fix or something, it says that it will take 2 hours before its done though D:
Let's hope i get an update when i get home from work tonight.
As for my office machine (ATI) it seems to be running fine...except i have to get back to work. So far though I think the game is really good.

technial issues galore...
first teh specs here at home:
Athon 64 3400+
nvidia 6800ultra
1 gig ram
WinXP SP1
updated drivers
The game plays...then it freezes, the audio skips...and then it unfreezes...then freezes again...then unfreezes...i got as far as where Barney reveals himself like 2 minutes into the game...but it's unplayable
Anyone else having this issues? I'll try it at my office machine tomorrow and report back in.
thanks
