    Fail. No Xbone for me and my PC will be too outdated to run it.

    Eurogamer gave it a 10? I thought they only gave those to European developers and Nintendo.

    Yeah. If I had to pay I wouldn't go. It's fun but definitely not worth a $1000 admission price.

    I dont even know how it works, do you just get a ticket like anywhere else?

    Nah, it's free admission to anyone in the games industry. You just have to register on their site and provide two of the listed forms of proof you work in the industry.

    We get Wednesday and Thursday as our E3 days. Not sure which day I'll go yet, but I doubt there will be enough to see/do to warrant a second day.

    Yeah that didn't show much, however their Destiny presentation at GDC was pretty interesting. Still not sold on it yet but I'll be watching. Real question is if the next-gen versions will be more than up-res'd versions of their current-gen counterparts. Methinks no...

    holy crap you guys seems to be hiring quite a bit

    It's so nice to be part of a studio that's hiring instead of firing. I'm lucky.

    Know owners of both places' date=' great guys.[/quote']They're great people. Feargus and co. at Obsidian are the most amazing guys ever.

    You mean the building? Yeah it's pretty nice, but we've outgrown it and are moving down the street to, what I've been told, is a new space being decked out with all sorts of cool things. Can't wait to see it!

    Yes your CV is still important. For me especially, since I'm a programmer, we don't do portfolios so it's the most critical piece of the application. But it's still important for those with portfolios to submit a CV as it can contain information your portfolio may not. While the portfolio is a good way to show off your own personal work, your CV can explain what your role within the team was and exactly what you were responsible for and required to do. You can also use it to explain any scenarios where you went above and beyond what was expected of you. Your LinkedIn profile is also a good idea as I myself have been contacted about job opportunities through it simply because recruiters run searches or look at who their contacts know to find new talent.

    Can modding experience == industry experience?

    As for modding experience, I wouldn't say it's equivalent to industry experience (industry is much better), but it's the next best thing to it. If you don't have industry experience or very little of it, throwing in modding experience can bolster your profile. Especially if your industry experience was something like QA and in a mod you were lead artist that will show your passion and skillset better than your industry experience will. Just make sure you put your completed mods front and center. Tons of people start a mod and fail to finish it -- having a completed game for employers to look at shows them you are committed and capable of finishing what your started.

    Serious Sam 3's best thing out of this sale so far, feel bad I didn't get it before.

    As someone who enjoyed the first and second encounter, is me getting it a no-brainer? I heard that the level design isn't as creative as previous installments.

    Anyone have thoughts on Terraria? It looks like fun but I wanted some opinions first.
