Quote from duxI earn 850€ per month, atm.
Definitely not bad for first job if you ask me
What do you pay for rent in portugal? In Stockholm i will have to pay 600-700 Euro rent for a one room appartment alone.
600 - 700?! 
I pay around 700 euro rent as well. A rent of 6-700 euro is normal if you don't want to live in the woods.
Curved computer monitors?
Also, I think its too busy without any focal points which draws the player eyes anywhere. Of course, its hard to tell without lighting.
Congrats steppenwolf, looking forward to meeting you!
I think youre all forgetting the most important thing...theres a opening at Crytek! Everybody get their portfolios out!
No but really, that is a big decision to make Frie and I wish you the best of luck! With Crysis in your portfolio you will certainly have a strong card if you ever decide to try to get back into games dev again.
Aaah its getting harder to dodge spoilers!
I met my first "Houdini Splicer" last night, and had turn the game off soon afterwards
Picked it up for the Xbox last night and played for around 5 hours. Superb game so far, reminds me of SS2 in all the good ways. I love watching the Big Daddies/Little sisters wander around. Right now I'm only on the second level/enviroment, would probably have gotten further if I had played it on the PC since I'm absolutely shit at aiming with the xbox controller 
True enough, people have ran through System Shock 2 in ~1 hour but I know I spent atleast 100 hours on that game. I'll go pick it up today, this can't wait until I get back 
How long is the entire game? I'll be going to Spain on wednesday, but if it's not too long then maybe I can play through it by then.
I just went and bought a pair of Beyerdynamic dt 990 because of this thread. Also I was tired of my boring Koss portapro (which I can now use on my ipod instead 
)

ah yes, shameful wednesday.
I checked out the website of the first video posted. They had a section for "success stories", and the only one from the Game Design course was a QA guy at THQ.

Well he certainly can't go any further down
Had a look at someone else playing the demo at work. I'll definitely be picking this up for the Xbox. Reminds me very much of SS2 with the audio logs and environment, although it had a lot more combat.
What texture are you using for the bottom of the 3d skybox? Could be that the brushes are picking up light-information from the texture during rad. I had a similar problem in dod_salerno, but it went away when I used toolsblack for the floor. Also, are the brushes floating in the skybox, or are they placed directly on the floor? If they're on the floor, give them some room underneath.
KFS: Reminds me of the "Command center" of the guy in Die Hard 4, but in a good way! 
Quote from JamesLErr aren't we all kinda in the geek bracket already? I mean posting regularly on a specialist video games development board n all that. Geek chic
Sssh, some are still in denial.
What the fuck are you on about.
Wow, that looks like a lot of fun! I love their Antitank missile.
The technology part seems like a bit of an afterthought, since it's just Warbys models scattered around the map. Also, in the greenhouse the texture scaling on the windows is a bit wacky, you could use a plain glass texture and then do the frames with brushes.
Also, I don't like the large shrubbery in the middle of the gameplay area, since bastard players are likely to hide in there and nail you with a crossbow when you walk past
