Finally I got around to upload the pics from my visit to California a few weeks ago. This visit obviously included a visit to Blizzard (thanks for the tour Wacko!) which meant I got to say hellow to some fellow Mapcorians.
<--- and Wacko

Was great to meet you guys!
Ohh man that sucks!
Quote from SereniusBioshock back in the hands of Irrational Games. Fuck yeah! Maybe they'll finally come back around to System Shock after this one.
It's not about the IP being "back", they have had it all the time and worked on it since the first one.
Edit: And yeah another studio did BS2.
That trailer was frikkin awesome! New IP or not, screw that, this looks fantastic! A 5 year production time for a project based on existing tech (I believe) seems quite excessive though.
Yeah I was not too fond of this last one either. It was good alright, but I just totally loved the previous trailers so probably expected more here.
Damn you guys, I was secrectly planning to do exactly that!
Quote from Buddywho the fuck is jennifer?
Interesting question, as this is the Internet, good looking women are not supposed to be here. So first thought was a bot, but a quick check reveals that she most certainly is a real gamer and probably also developer.
Much fun was had indeed back in the mid-nineties with sheeps and holy hand grenades 
Tried some of the later versions some years ago though and the fun did not hold up, so I highly doubt I will get this one.
Having played the game I can tell that it is pretty damn good (or at least it was 2 years ago) - but those trailers are just totally godlike! If there is one thing IO always get 100% right for me, then it's the trailers. Now I just don't hope that they manage to overhype this sequel in the same way as they did with the first one, even though this one is of another standard.
Ohh joy, just realized that we have a bot there arguing about grid sizes. Gotta love them these days.
I could not agree with myself on if this appears to be a stylized Snyder movie with a deep ironic touch, or if it's just completely retarded.
Quote from Warbyi dont understand it yet but i love it already
I'm with stupid here. I don't quite get it, but nonetheless it looks very likeable
Arthurt, you can truely look forward to working with Unity, it's a joy of an engine! And congrats on the position also
Haha way cool Wacko! And big congrats on shipping the game!
":1d9n9y5h]This is a really nice project, and I really respect indies that manage to take projects like these from start to finish.But I have to say, double the price for the special edition for only one black skin when the game ships, rly?
Well, 90% buy that version, so I guess it is a completely reasonable price for most people?
Quote from JetsetlemmingMy graphics card hasn't arrived yet- a friend is upgrading to a 5770 and sending me his old 8800GT.
Ahh, it all makes sense then. Sorry for jumping at ya a little to quickly.
At IO we did all geometry and art related matters in 3dsx max and worked quite well. We had our own instancing system in place which allowed for the usual workflow with premade props and env art. So a bunch of a c++ for the instancing and export and then about 30-40 maxscripts to help with general level design tasks. I have since IO tried to do level design in 3ds max but it is an absolutely horrible program for that without those precious plugins and scripts.
That looks pretty awesome.
Hey Mapcore people! On behalf of Warby, Skjalg, Frie and the rest of Exit Strategy Entertainment, I would like to introduce our first game: Pirates of New Horizons
We are thrilled to announce our first indie game: "Pirates of New Horizons" ! What better way to celebrate this occasion than by uploading a batch of screenshots from the (hopefully) soon to be released prototype!
