- United Offensive for CoD if you don't have it already

I highly, highly recommend the multiplayer in this game

Quote from ReNo

I disagree - I think it had mostly great level design (as in the vast majority of combat areas worked extremely nicely), but over reliance on the same asset set.

Quoted for truth, and so on

kevin spacey as lex, i dunno...

If you want to be an LD, do singleplayer mod work. Show people that you can script and come up with interesting setups. Even if you really want to do multiplayer professionally, there is much more commercial demand for singleplayer designers. If a hiring manager wants to check out your work he's not going to get the entire team to play a few rounds on your map. He just might give your level a quick run-through though.

I'm so totally on board with episodic content. Full length games are getting shorter but they're still way too damn long. I want to be able to knock this out in one or two evenings, I don't want to be saddled with a game for a week until I finish it, or worse yet leave it off halfway because they were trying to squeeze enough gametime in. Keep it shorter and sweeter, that's what I want.

come on he's having fun and the shots are nice. I quite like the repetition and direction of the second one.

I didn't really like it until i heard the controller called the "Wiimote".. I chuckled.

you gotta photochop that earplug out of your ear dude

jimson weed, the shit fucks up your eyes in a bad way. Just glad I didn't take enough to go blind for three days.

Reno you're hired, option one~

Myself, I'm working at Factor 5 and while it's not all tea and biscuits I'm having a great time there. Speaking for a couple of friends, CompoSITe is working at Infinity Ward and ILLA is with a company in his home country of Croatia whose name escapes me at the moment..

So with a couple guys getting hired recently I'm wondering how the numbers break down to these days, and I know other people are curious too. So how about you?

Also feel free to speak up for guys who've gone on or don't post anymore.

Quote from Zacker

Don't say that, him and 3d-mike were so proud of their new leafs! It doesn't matter that the colours don't fit in at all and that it looks quite unrealistic as it is teh new index blended alpha sprites(or whatever it was they called it)!

No dude that tree really was god awful

i'm going no questions asked, gimme a call dude

also i grew up in LA I know where the burritos and cervezas can be had

Quote from ReNo

Oh man, an American remake? Why do they have to try and put their stamp on good foreign films?

Because original ideas are risky and it costs a lot of money to make a movie

my buddy at work was just telling me to watch that as well, seems it's time~

punch him in the throat and call him a pussy

Quote from Tequila

Bingo. Working with Tim Schafer would be wall-to-wall mad fun, even with the birthing pains and chaos of a new company's first title.

You sure about that? getting fired because the boss doesn't have time to tell you what he wants, that sounds like fun?

you know plenty of people are just as annoyed by kids "skating the mall"~

how the hell can i forget this

you guys must not have read that psychonauts postmortem? Made it sound like a train wreck

I'd love to work at Valve or Monolith even though I hate the rain. Infinity Ward? Neversoft? I don't wanna live in the Valley, not yet anyway. Blizzard? Irvine. D:

I hear Montreal is a pretty awesome town but it snows there.

I'm pretty happy where I am.

much grats man!
