Are you the Mabufo from Interlopers?

Was browsing Amazon for stuff and found this:

There is an interesting comment from the author:

If you're reading this, I assume you have some interest in level design. Having just got back from the 2006 Game Developers Conference (GDC) last month, I have good news for you guys. It's open season for level design positions. Seriously Tonnes of game studios are scrambling for design and level design talent as the new wave of next generation titles for the XBOX360, PS3 and Revolution ramp up. Most of my colleagues that I spoke to at GDC all had the same story - where are the level designers? Even my own company is looking for more LD talent. Bigger budgets and bigger titles mean bigger teams - and that's where you come in. I really think this is a golden opportunity for folks interested in level design to get their break in the industry. In my many years in this industry I've rarely seen such a widespread call for level design talent. So if you aren't making levels as you read this, I really urge you to get some samples together, get yourself a portfolio and send out your work! Level design is a fantastic career, and all it takes to get noticed is some practice and persistence. I hope to see some of you on my team in the future

Is this true?

I think it could use a bit of color like the last one, but otherwise they look good

I especially like the third last one.

If Valve fixed the damn hitboxes I would play again.

But until then...

There might be a bright side: more job security, if they are harder to learn there will be fewer people competing for similar jobs perhaps, and more demand for the ones who already know what they are doing.

I know what you mean st0lve.

But thats also the way I felt about HL2 before it came out. It looked intimidating but its really not.

Console games make me high, but afterwards I always know that I've wasted my time

Ok, I lie.

They dont give me a high.

And I know they're going to be a waste of time before hand.

I dont trust these screens!

Don't worry I'm sure they won't pull a Sony on us.

Sigh, another pathetic attempt by the hopeless Philipk

This thread? Or the snarkpit one?

Crytek seems to hate mods

A warehouse that looks good?

Some of those buildings are way too thin. By the looks of the windows it doesn't even seem that there is anything inside but one long room/hall on each floor.

OMFG!

Its the ORANGE BARON!!!

Hehe. Great work guys.

TF2?

OMFG the bastards!!!

ok, maybe not

Awesome stuff.

Weren't those soldiers you see near the end the guys that got killed off in the first Predator movie?

Canadian server?

Hehe, Im in. I always wanted to brutally murder you Hydeph, now I can do it over and over!

Microsoft is a publisher

But if you want to boss around poor defenseless game designers and producers I guess that's the job for you
