    what happened? I dont remember


    Quote

    Gus got blown up. I'm assuming he meant "Is it possible for someone to walk off like that with half their face missing?"


    I guess it could be possible? Like when you chop off a chickens head it will still run around for a while (is that true too? haha)


    My thinking was Gus always seemed impossible to kill or get to and in his final moments he still seemed that way until the camera panned around and we saw what was left of his head

    I just thought that although it was awesome it was also a bit OTT and unrealistic but now that you mention it, it seems like it could be possible... I will research it when I've finished the series to avoid any accidental spoilers....


    I'm now 4 episodes away from the end...

    I did not think the way the family would find about it all would go down like that, jesus... the atmosphere is frozen so hard you could smash it into pieces... Hank is out for blood and now.. so is Jesse! Literally have no idea what is going to happen next...

  • Crytek Uk Internship?

    Quote from e-freak

    What's your current job? What do you hope to learn in the internship? What kind of work would you like to see yourself being able to do in 5 years from now?


    Look at your strengths and try to figure out how you could fit into a gamestudio in the near future. If you want to go into design, it might be a good idea to either finish one of your old mods or to take a look at the freeSDK for CryEngine and just cook some small gameplay thing up (exploration and a puzzle maybe). QA is probably always a good starting point as well if you just want to experience the inside of a studio and orient yourself. Its also a viable career path in it self, but its certainly not an easy field either as you need to track bugs left and right, try and break the game constantly with the most obscure settings and instructions and communicate a lot with all departments on problems you discover.


    I'm searching for work currently... what do I hope to learn? I don't know.. I'm terrible at answering on-the-spot questions especially the last one... I have no idea what I should be doing in 5 years time...


    In terms of old mods... they're dead and wont be resurrected I'm afraid, however I have been working on something new, a mod which I hope will turn into an indie title at some point.. I'll keep hush about that for now.


    QA would seem like a waste of my talent imho, I don't think that's for me.


    Quote from Vilham

    What field are you looking at? I know they are hiring in Nottingham atm, not sure if that increases or decreases the chance of them taking on interns though.


    As I said, my main strength lies in 2D texture work.


    Quote from PaulH

    As far as I know we don't offer internships here, unless it's a new incentive I'm not aware of. There haven't been any design team interns in the couple of years I've been here at least. Like the others said though, you really need to figure out what you actually want to do. That, plus taking on an internship anywhere as a means to find out whether you even want to work in the industry or not isn't ideal, most companies will want to know you have a passion for that position if they are to take you on for any amount of time, internships are not offered as 'tasters'


    Do you have a portfolio?


    Well it's on the website listed under Nottingham and the other studios, so I'd assumed it was available at all studios...


    Portfolio is here, but it's mostly old stuff now;

  • Breaking Bad

    Bomp..


    Quick question... Now I've got the complete set, I notice some of the episodes are "uncensored" and I'm not sure what the differences are between the normal ones, a quick look on the interweb points to it being about swearing (which is odd because I'm sure I heard the f word plenty of times anyway) are there also more scenes of violence/drug abuse or what?

  • Crytek Uk Internship?

    So I was having a conversation with my best mate the other day about jobs and he was talking about internships at a game studio which he had been considering doing, because he's done a fair bit of 3D modelling. I said to him that Crytek UK was in Nottingham which he apparently had no idea about and it got me thinking that perhaps if I spend some time in a games developer studio and having that experience, it might help me decide whether or not a job in the industry is actually for me.


    So I looked at Crytek's internship page for Nottingham and it says that there is a typically a 1 month contract offered, however right now from what I can see there are no opportunities available.


    Sooo..should I just wait for something to come up or since I am one of the Mapcore elite (cough cough splutter.. hack etc..) and you know guys know I'm cool (more coughing, possibly leading to hospitalisation).. I can get a little foot in a back door maybe... perhaps... or not?


    The other thing is what I can actually do.. level design has moved on a lot (ever so slight exaggeration) and I am not really as into it as I once was... 2D art in the form of world textures and model skins, I can definately do BUT mainly as single maps only, though I can use Crazybump to some degree... badly and thus probably isn't good enough. Anyway, I've always enjoyed texture creation the most out of anything I've done modding wise.


    I live in Nottingham and the studio is only a short drive into town, so it seems crazy not to at least consider some work experience if nothing else...


    Advice gentleman?!!
