    what a bunch of cocksmokers. I doubt zampella/west will win their legal battle against a giant pile of lawyer money, but I'm rooting for them.

    Their chances will improve substantially if they hire Cooper & Norman's services.

    Pretty cool article! Very relevant to level designers and level artists imo.

    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).

    Btw did you guys know that Jamie Lee Curtis is the daughter of Toni Curtis and Janet Leigh? (the actress who gets killed in the shower in Psycho)

    His name is not Curtis. His name is Curtis Jackson.

  • Mass Effect 2

    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...

    Quote

    I even sympathized with him in the end of ME1

    - I didn't like the ending.

    Quote

    It 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).

  • What should I model?

    • Minos
    • February 23, 2010 at 1:04 PM

    That's a pretty dumb question If you are level designer learning how to model then your first model should obviously be a crate...

    The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (and basically every other Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy book by DNA)

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Restaurant-Univ ... 707&sr=8-1

    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!

  • Make Something Unreal final round of winners

    • February 19, 2010 at 2:07 PM

    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:

    This picture....

    [Blocked Image: http://www.makesomethingunreal.com/App_Themes/MakeSomethingUnreal/images/Final/PlanetStormScr2.jpg]

    ...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:

    [Blocked Image: http://www.helderpinto.com/images/SFAM-Aliens/Final_Shots/Aliens_SFAM_screenshot_2.jpg]

    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 =(

    yeah i got it from there. and its running well on win7. did you activated that strange registry file which was included? at first i forgot that and the game won´t start but after that - it works.

    Yep I did. But it says a .dll is missing when I try to run the game.
