    Am I completely INSANE? I tried watching the first episode of this and found it to be really horrible... like the worst


    should I keep going or is this just not for me?


    The first few episodes are a bit slow and convoluted but it gets a lot better. That's always the case with Game of Thrones, nothing really major happens in the first episodes of a new season but then it gets super epic towards the end. The good episodes make up for the shitty ones.


    I disagree about the acting though, this is one of those rare series that I actually care about the characters and it's mostly thanks to the actors and to the writing. No character is completely 1 sided, they all evolve and change throughout the seasons and that's what make them interesting imo

  • What have you watched recently?

    The first season is essentially like The X-Files' 'monster of the week' episodes, with very slight foreshadowing of later seasons. Once it was renewed they went pretty crazy and it kicks off into a four-season 'end of the world' arc revolving around cross-dimensional travel, enslavement of the human race, and the consequences of screwing with time. Think the X-Files if the stuff they endlessly hinted at (eg: aliens taking over) actually happened, turning each subsequent season on its head.


    It's not for everyone, you really do have to be into things such as The X-Files and science in general. But it is a shame that it takes so long to get going. After the first season it turns into a 'love or hate' kind of show (ie: you think it's the best shit ever or pretty meh), but the first season is definitely just 'OK'. Great for backstory but it really lacks the boundless imagination of the later seasons.


    That sounds interesting. Wonder if I can jusjt skip the first 3 seasons then and go straight to what matters

    Love it, finally a CS:GO map that doesn't look like CS I love the colors but you could try a neutral color pm the containers so they are not on your face so much. The water could also use some love!


    Keep up the good work

    Temperatures way too high, I got cheap crappy coolers and my mobo idles at 50~55 and peaks at 65-70.


    Make sure to have at least 3 case fans, two blowing fresh air into the CPU (one on top of the cpu and another on the front side) and a third one on the back blowing the hot air out (make sure they are spinning in the correct direction otherwise you will get the opposite effect ).

    good tips, but don't get mi started on light in UDK, that scene needs 15 min to bake light only to preview quality, don't want to try production i really hope they will step up with UE4, but Minos i have very similar resoult before but i figured out it was to dark but thx will tweak it a lil bit more


    BJA i was thinking about it as well but they used very simillar tiles in TLOUS


    Wait, that's completely out of control... do you have a crappy PC or are you using 2048 lightmaps? It takes me about 5 minutes to render a full level in high .


    You can also leave the PC on overnight if you are going to put this up on your portfolio.


    If all else fails, just fake those gradients with point lights

    Looks cool, lighting looks very flat though! Get some gradients in there, they are the reason the interiors look so good in Last of Us 10 seconds paintover:

    Worldcraft and hammer 3.4 demotivated you from the beginning because it was insanely complicated to set everything up, specially after steam came out and all the options names became meaningless. You also needed a modified FDG, the VHE update, Zones Tools, Nems Batch compiler, GCFScape, Wad files (from the wadfather) and Wad compiler, and even after getting all that you would compile the map and ge a file not found error because hammer didn't copied the bsp to the game maps folder and you had to create expert compile configurations or use nems batch compiler and learn what all those options meant. And finally after all that you could play your fully lit oversized box filled with leaks.


    And kids nowadays complain that it's "too hard" or "too complicated" to make stuff for current gen games lol

    Man I guess I'm slow, I'm 16 hours into the game and still 70% complete.


    Game is fucking awesome, it's been a long time since I enjoyed a SP game this much
