You've still got 10 years to go

Congrats, +1 CryCore. Did you apply for UK as well or just feel like being touched by HP?

Good stuff, makes me want to break out XSI again.

I will add that almost every time I go out in Nottingham I stop by a place I'm sure D3ads is familiar with, the Pit and Pendulum, for a cocktail.

That place is D3ad's in pub form

I miss 1664 Blanc, that stuff was good.

Someone took a dump on the floor of the toilets a few years back at work. Maybe it's a serial shitter going round offices for interviews?

Top tips:

- Dev staff who don't play the game they are working on are the most vocal on how to fix the game.

- Leaving anytime before 4.59pm is considered a half day's work, expect grief from colleagues!

Updated original post with new job openings.

Well, they are going to announce something with a three in it. But then again it's just probably a part of Valve's epic troll-streak.

Even when we were working on the console version of Crysis, it was 1 designer and multiple artists per level. Usually one to do the lighting, one to do the vegetation and terrain and one to do all the props. I have no idea how it was done for the original PC version however.

"Do I look like I carry a pencil?"

Thought it would be terrible, found it midly amusing and interesting.

Anyone else come in here for news on They Hunger and were dissapointed?

I've not played the game, but they both look like Sim Tower clones so to me its a bit of a pot/kettle issue.

We do internships here (theres a couple of guys in at the moment) but not sure about intern/junior design vacancies in the immediate future.

It's a Warhammer 40k book during the Horus Heresy. Although it isn't very 40k as this is set before. So Warhammer 31k technically.

Excellent series of books (the first three at least, waiting for 4 to be delivered, have assorted others ready to read)

First Valve released game I have zero interest in

Deja-vu.

You can finally knock off the "Junior" part of my title now, just a regular Designer now

Quote from Rick_D

i get the constant feeling that for you everything must have some kind of deeper hidden meaning, or that everything must be designed in a certain way or it cannot possibly even be designed at all. great songs, great books, great games and mechanics have all been created out of pure luck, just doing what felt right, experimenting and creating and enjoying the process. this whole search for a deeper meaning will erode creativity rather than develop it.

I believe its 64 bit only, may not be true.

Edit: C2 SDK was 64 bit only, so CE3 SDK should be fine. Ignore me

What's your favorite not fun game? Mine's Pathologic.

If its not fun, its a chore not a game.
