lol, win!

Yep, no one clicks thumbnails anymore. When I see a gallery with like 10 thumbnails on it, i end up clicking on 2 or 3 and skip the others. Whereas with all the content on one page, i only need to scroll down and i actually end up seeing everything.

Welcome!

3rd one is a bit cluttered, it would work if it wasnt as busy.

I'd go for Layout 02

I haven't played TF2 for like 2 years now, but someone told me that the game is now about hats, i loled.

Good luck dude, not that you need it!

Single monitor?

I'm having such a fucking blast with this.

And you know, the fact that the game just spawns you in a world and tell you "fuck off, now just survive" and you need to figure out things on your own makes it even more awesome, it's like it's part of the game to go online and see how you do various crafting recipes, what the different blocks mean, etc.

Should go without saying, but the wiki is awesome with all the info you need:

Fantastic, one of the best portfolios I've ever had the pleasure of browsing.

I would just change one little thing but it may make all the difference. At the moment when you open a project page you get a bit of text then a few thumbnails for the screenshots. To ensure everyone will see your images, just put all your images in there in a rather high res, that way the viewer will only have to scroll down, instead of having to click once to see each image. (Like this) It's my opinion of course, but the more content you show at once the better.

But this is a really fantastic portfolio, very well organized and thought out.

I downloaded it when their servers were down to try it out. Walked around the map for 10 minutes, pick up some flowers and twigs, couldn't figure out what to do, delete.

lol, and you didn't had the slight curiosity to check out on the internet what the game was really about before giving up?

I don't know a lot either, apart from the basic.

Go for good brands, afaik Samsung is the leading in the best cost/quality relation atm,

Get a monitor with 50000:1 contrast ratio. (or at the very least 20000:1)

Also get a 2ms refresh rate monitor, especially if your going to play fast games on it, you get almost no ghosting at all. (or at the very least 5ms)

Get a 22" or 24", and I also recommend getting a 16:9 Aspect ratio monitor. (Better for movies) But 16:10 will do just fine and I believe it's still the standard when it comes to computer monitors, but eventually 16:9 will become standard.

If your gonna play PS3 on it, make sure it supports HDCP.

On a side note, I totally recommend using dual monitor to work. It really boosts your productivity, worth the investment if you can afford it. They don't need to be identical, atm at home I have a 24" next to a 22".

man.. i'm addicted to this shit..

I knew it, why don't i listen to my own instincts?

Good point, and yep, cinema industry did grow a lot since it's teenage years too, but it has definitely came to the point where their going back.

One of the reasons why their going back is to apeal to the nostalgia of the people, who doesnt know Capt America, Hulk, or Spider Man.

But you see a lot more inovation in the movies industry than you see in the games industry, for now at least. Hopefully this will change, and we're the ones who are responsible to change it, it is in our hands.

If you think for a second, most of the inovative games are indy games. Because it's the only card they have to play. Since they don't have the budget to do a AAA game with SPLOSIONZ they need to be original! That's why indy is becoming the newest awesome trend, i mean look at minecraft, limbo, etc.

That is a lovely hole you got there buddy

Well, if it's not broken... Don't try to fix it.

Bioshock has a unique formula, I totally understand if they would try to milk it a bit more, I would do the same. The thing is, Bioshock gameplay is not exactly unique since it's a total rip of SS2. But yeap, i totally agree that no one takes risks no more, and I don't see this changing anytime soon.

We as an industry got so much to grow still...

That's some fucked up story.

If it was me I would just put it in my portfolio.
