Minos my man! I checked out the portfolio and here is my crits for you:

- the Level Design part tho right in the face is hard to find! the map pic looks like part of a header rather then part of the galerie. Make a thumbnail the size of the other stuff instead.

- all pictures open in a different kinda way. its strange and seems buggy

- Links to friends. I know a lot of people have them in their portfolios but i would remove them. The portfolio is a website about you and is supposed to give you a job. You don't want possible employers to compare you with others peoples skills or to even leave your portfolio to check other portfolios out!

The Bild is like the german version of The Sun btw.

BBC shouldn't even care.

Ab sofort schreibe ich nur noch auf deutsch in Mapcore. Ihr Briten könnt mich mal an meinen haarigen Eiern lecken!

I worked on one of the maps in the new multiplayer trailer (the one that looks like a fucked up highway intersection):

Definately sounds promising with you guys behind it. You should give away a few more informations tho what this mod is about.

Beer Bong for Wii

that would be funny

Thing is: if he's so passionate as he says why does his portfolio suck so much? I think he is just a lazy little cry baby who blames others for his lack of everything. Even with no talent at all it should be possible to do better stuff after so many months or even years. The internet is full of helpfull ressources and tutorials. You can buy very good tutorial DVD's etc. It's not a big mystery or secret how to improve skills. It's only about you getting your shit together and moving your ass.

What an idiot. :roll:

I'm glad i didn't bought Bioshock. I expected something like System Shock but when i played the demo i didn't feel the magic. Also the "Uncanny Valley" experience bothered me pretty much in the game. Gfx so detailed that every small thing that was not perfect instantly popped in my view and annoyed the shit out of me.

Nearly every game that has EA on its package. They fooled me way too often into buying their shit when i was young.

Some swedish indie pop bands that i can highly recommend:

Afaik the new batman movies are based on the Batman comics by Frank Miller.

Quote

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is a Batman comic book miniseries written and drawn by Frank Miller and published by DC Comics from February to June 1986. It reintroduced Batman to the general public as the psychologically dark character of his original 1930s conception

My ears got a bit damaged when i was in the army because it was so fucking loud in the tanks even with ear protection. I don't hear as good on my left ear since then and sometimes have a pressure on it.

Working at my company is pretty relaxed most of the time. I have a normal 8 hours work day. Didn't had to work a single crunch time yet (mostly because im still rather new in the company and not so deep involved in the projects as some others. But the other level designers don't have to do too many over hours either as far as i can tell). We can take creative breaks whenever we need, even have a room for relaxation with a massage chair. I don't feel any pressure to work like a machine. Also the company pays some extra money for gym or massages. And we get free fresh fruits for our vitamine needs. After all the horror storys that i read about work conditions in the video game industry i'm happy to work at a company that treats its employees well.

Personaly i wouldn't sacrifice my health for a job anymore. I have a friend who always worked too hard and too long. Had his second burnout-syndrome already not long ago and is pretty fucked up now physically and mentaly. He is in my age.

I recently started to play Thief - Deadly Shadows (aka thief 3) again because i never finished it. I installed a HD texture pack and use a tweak to play in 1680x1050. With that it looks still pretty decent for a old game.

Hessi: ask them to send you a DVD with the show. They will do it for free (did it for Insurgency). Then rip it and put it on youtube.

This is a pretty old technique. nvidia has a anaglyphe 3D driver on his website for ages. Works with every game or 3D application. Personaly i dont like it because you cant see colors with green/red glasses and eyes start to hurt after a while.

I play it a lot but tbh i dont enjoy it as much as i did with the first one. The stock tracks arn't as much fun and most custom tracks that i played so far are completely ridiculous. I especialy miss some fun short tracks. It's hard to find the gems under the huge pile of crap. I'm gonna start doing some own tracks if i find the time.
