looks great, but as of now the walls are a bit empty and too straight on the top part for my taste.

Bit of background, I've been doing some level design work for a mod called Mechwarrior Living Legends for the better part of 1.5-2 years now

you're with sean tracy then? welcome to teh core

San Andreas again!

survey actually discouraged me to play the game... wtf i didn't know any of the stuff.

awesome encounter yesterday, when I went back to my old uni and some friends asked me if i knew about this game and they are like "this is the greatest thing ever!". we ended up buying a few of the four-packs

HP - do we have copies at work?

how about an iphone deploy from unity? would love to buy it

Well ok, honest advise: You don't seem to know much about the games industry yet or how games are made. It's cool to have an idea of what you want to do, but just try to really look into everything, cause it might just be that Level Design is not what you're looking for. There's tons of different jobs in the industry. Start out with doing Level Design but don't limit your self in any direction - try to pick up as much as possible on the way and see what fits you best.

Advice: Think less, jump head first into it. UDK and Maya have great amounts of Tutorials available, just do it. Don't go too much by the book and getting all the courses, just pick a project and work on it.

I gotta admit, I was trying not to get hyped for this, but this SP stuff look delicious as hell!!!

The only thing I'd have made clear first is that people don't mix it up with the Decal tool. I was kinda expecting a run down on how to use that tool.

didn't like the new episode of walking dead

Quote from D3ads

Finally watched the original Red Dawn, despite the praise I've heard about I'm afraid I thought it was shit.The storyline is stupid and if the USSR had successfully invaded (that's a big if of course, seeing as the US has never been occupied by a foreign entity) then that would have been the end of America as a capitalist country.. that's why it was a genuine threat during the cold war.

How 6 kids manage to repeatedly defeat highly trained soldiers over and over without taking barely any causalties is beyond me. If it was the other way around (Russians shooting at Americans in the USSR) I'd think it equally as absurd.

Acting..is terrible, it's just about non-existant.

I laughed so hard at the "hinds" at the end, but I guess they did a good job considering they couldn't get hold of the real things.

I'd like to see what becomes of the remake, although they've gone and changed it to North Korean soldiers (what? North Korea has no chance in Hell of invading the US lmao).

NK > USA Invasion is called "homefront". Go check it out.

Red Dawn is a piece of it's era and reflects the common fear of the US mainstream media back then. Defeating an entire army with a bunch of kids is a typical Hollywood thing and fits the time it was created in. Is that so hard to see?
