Pretty cool article! Very relevant to level designers and level artists imo.
... and a bonus article on how hitchcock added humor to his movies: http://www.borgus.com/think/hitch-humor.htm

Rumors and all, I know, but to be honest then it wouldn't surprise me that Activision would pursue this kind of action.
That guy is gonna become a legend in the industry if that's true (hope it is).

Finished the game. I have mixed feelings about it. Thoughts:
Pros:
- Combat has improved a lot
- The characters' background stories are much better than the ones in ME1
- Credits and resources make a lot more sense now
- The normandy is much improved
- More environment variety. Omega and illium are beyond awesome.
Cons:
- I hate the exaggerated bloom and post effect filters with passion
- Tiny font size, I can barely read the codex or other important information (my CRT TV doesn't help either)
- The sidequests are waaay too short. I remember one which all you had to do was to switch 4 buttons on
- I actually miss the mako. I miss the feeling of exploring isolated planets
- Some characters aren't very useful. I formed a perfect team with Miranda and Mordin, no need to use the other team members.
- The game lacks a strong and recognizable enemy. Saren was such an interesting character...
QuoteI even sympathized with him in the end of ME1
- I didn't like the ending.
QuoteIt was too short and didn't develop much on the collectors' story. The illusive man objectives were very predictable. I was hoping for something more twisted. Human reaper? That was kind of lame imo.
But yeah it still is a good game. Metacritic score is a bit exaggerated though. I give it a 90.

I've been wanting one of those since forever. But I can't be arsed to go hunt for the right ants (you need to find a queen or something otherwise the colony dies in a few days).

That's a pretty dumb question
If you are level designer learning how to model then your first model should obviously be a crate...[Blocked Image: http://lostinthoughts.web-log.nl/second_life/images/crate.jpg]

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (and basically every other Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy book by DNA)
Im trying to read hitchhikers guide to the galaxy at the moment but I'm having a hard time. The author tries so hard to be funny 98% of the time ... It annoys me very much. I wish I could read the same story without all the unfunny jokes.
-
I believe I'm 75% through it at the moment. Already got the loyalty of all members but the asari justicar and doing all the side quests now.
I love this game so much that I already want to replay through it, and I haven't even finished yet
Maybe I'll try insanity mode achievement next! -
Awesome stuff yeah.Congrats to the winners, this is truly an epic effort

I dislike how everything looks so noisy and have odd color combinations all around though. Stuff like that makes some of the entries look very 2006'ish. Don't mean to offend anyone here but I can barely make out what's happening in this screenshot:

...could look a lot better if it wasnt for the excessive blurriness and lack of contrast (stronger light spots I mean). They should have used HP's/buddy's SFAM entry as reference for good lighting:

Another prime example of this is Mass Effect 2. I love the art assets but the post-effect filters and odd red'ish lighting make the game look VERY bad in some places.

Jesus christ that looks ugly as hell... look at those tree sprites, they look like they were taken straight from google images. I also think the color choices look pretty bad. Civ4 looked a lot better than those screenshots =(
