Well, the date is set, upcoming Wednesday, 12:30 will be the verdict.
Bring out the Koreans!
Nice movie.
Quote from FMPONEId will probably close like Irrational if they can't make shit happen with Doom4. Zenimax don't play that!
Not for the people that work there, because I wish them all the best, but I think the above is something we could all agree upon as being long overdue.
Is there still room for tonight?
Quote from moyystThanks!
I already run the game in windowed but compiling and letting hammer start the game, resets all my graphics options. Guess I could lunch the game manual.
Would you know how to start the map through console without bots? Because "map mapname" starts a lan server with casual play mode and ten bots.
If you're changing it in game, that doesn't work. You have to set "-sw" as a launch option for the game in Steam.
No, that I wouldn't know.

Quote from moyystEdit: anyone happen to know why my hammer view screens goes black after compiling and lunching the game?
Welcome! Regarding the Hammer screen. Set the game to windowed mode. The problem should be gone then. Worked for me.
Quote from blackdogpreorder Wolfenstein, get D4 beta
HP and I had that discussion on Facebook already. I don't understand it either but someone responded with something plausible:"DOOM marketing needs to ride shotgun on the Wolfenstein marketing train. Two franchises most gamers forgot about, or have no idea even exist.".
Don't want to hatorade but I have faith in Wolf however I don't trust anything that comes out of Id Software anymore. I feel it would be better to have other studios work on former Id IP's. I'm not talking about how they did it before. What I mean is, Zenimax should allow studios to approach them with their vision of certain Id IP's and take it from there. So without the supervision of Id themselves. Just really a fresh take.
Looking at Doom 4's rocky development cycle, the last Id title, Willits directing, etc and I'm just not feeling anything good can come out of that. This is coming from a guy who has been very loyal to Id up until Rage, who owns every title they've made multiple times, who had run several successful Id modding websites and who had nothing but love for them. That relationship turned abusive due to all the disappointments, forgetting their fans, their roots, modding, multi player, the lies, the false advertisement, the PC version of Rage, Rage, etc.
I find it hard to believe that the EU would allow them in. The country faces it's third financial crisis since 2008 and is highly depended on Russia's money and gas. The EU is already crippled by Greece, Spain and Italy. There's no sane reasoning in taking on another money pit.
These are just facts, not hating on the people or anything like that.
You're getting there dude. Just a matter of time.
That sucks man, but always try and see stuff with the bright side, no matter how hard it is, like maybe it's your chance to do something you always wanted to but never really had the drive to or the time?
You can always use this week to think in advance and do some soul searching, you don't like that job anyway. And fuck man, I know there's responsibilities in life too, there's a baby incoming, etc but life's so short if we don't strive for happiness what is the fucking point.
PS. Also, once again, grats on the baby! It must feel great to pass on the torch!
You're right! Thanks man, don't know about the torch part though. Really depends on how she turns out I suppose. But I feel blessed either way.
Quote from MinosWhatever happens, anything can have positive consequences in the long run if you keep a positive mindset and learn from life. I've been through a lay off before, was angry and that forced me to work hard on my shit which eventually lead me to get a job at Blizzard. I would probably be somewhere else now if that hadn't happened.
If you lose your job now, you will have plenty of time to focus on your baby during the first critical months. Which parents have that opportunity nowadays? Even if you go through some financial hardship in the coming months, I'm sure your baby will appreciate the time you spent with him/her forever should that happen.
Sometimes when we look back there are "coincidences" which have very positive impact in our lives in the long run, and maybe this is one of those cases. Don't freak out and stay aware at all times
This is profound and just fucking beautiful man. Never looked at it that way. You guys are amazing. Such support, such insight. My wife called you all men of the world instead of boys pretending.Thanks guys!
Now this is a trailer!
You have no idea how skeptical and biased I was against this movie. A talking Racoon with a Tree, come on. Then I saw the after credit scene from Thor 2 and I liked that a lot. Really kitsch, kinda like Flash Gordon in the 80's. Then came the first shots, teaser and now this. The more I see it, the more I'm starting to like it. I think this has real potential but it will be a hate it or love it kinda thing I suppose.
Quote from FMPONEWell if what you know is that everybody can get fired, imagine how you'll feel when you realize everyone can die
You've complained about your job here before, it might be a blessing in disguise. Next time you worry ask yourself the opposite as well, maybe it's a good thing, maybe it will cause personal growth, maybe some nutjob would come in and blast this place the next week you're working there. Getting fired =/= end of your life, and even if it did, you have to think about Valhalla and how sweet that would be, fighting other sweaty, axe-wielding Norsemen in heaven
I can die? Wtf? What are you doing to me man?
But props to you for making me laugh especially regarding my religious heritage 
I try to look upon it as a blessing in disguise but nowadays I'm far less concerned about my personal ambitions, having fun at a job, etc and I'm more occupied with having financial security for my daughter. It really changes how you think and look at things. At least for me it does. However that does not take away the value of your suggestions. Suggestions I'll do my best to keep in mind.

Quote from FMPONEIt's good to be prepared, bad to be worried or stressed. Worry about what you 100% know, this is still speculation.
Fear of speculation is no different than fear of the boogeyman, it's all in your imagination
Yeah, It's what I know that stresses me out.
Quote from FuryoWe were three, all laid off in the first round of economic layoffs that happened in September last year. Patrick_H is no longer on Mapcore I think, vivi, and myself. All level designers.
As for talking about what happened, we can't so don't ask
Any particular country in mind? I'll start looking for you guys.
Perhaps some of the people from the Core that worked there (Vivi that I known of) could post what kind of job they're looking for? We can then all keep an eye out for them. Heck, we could even help with looking.
Thanks for all the support guys!
Quote from knjHoly shiet, that's the worsk that can happend
I'm sure your employer have some brains and will take that in to account (the newborn). I hope all will turn ok for you and for your wife, finger crossed !
I'm pretty sure they don't give a flying fuck about personal situations. Besides, my colleagues have houses and families too.
Quote from KoKo5oVaRSorry to hear that dude, that's sucks
. Life is a bitch sometimes, i guess only the luckiest ones here can say the contrary. I'd say be sure to team up with your wife and make the best out of this together, that's what a couple is for; don't let the situation getting between you two cause that's probably the worse and the most treacherous thing that can happen. Be comprehensive to each other and avoid yourselves all sources of unnecessary stress, that's not what you need atm
And won't you get a jobless pension in holland after being fired ? Could you not find a less paid non stressful job like mailman, delivery guy or security agent in the meantime ? You'll make it, there is always a way to make it, whatever it is.
Yeah man, well, I'll tell you what I believe, shit happens. The only problem now is that I'm burning through savings to buy all the baby stuff Luckily we're getting a lot of stuff from people as well so that's a relieve.
Great tips regarding the relationship. We've already had a good talk and luckily for me, I've got a really awesome wife so for now we're cool.
Yes, but it depends on the numbers of years you've worked non stop. So for me, I've been working non stop since 2005 (had a year sabbatical before that) which gives me the right to have 9 months of social security. After that, it's welfare. So we should have a pretty good safety net. Plus, hopefully, if I don't make the cut, I'll be able to get another position within the company. Since I have a permanent contract (not sure if it's the correct phrase) I'm entitled to employer help in finding something new. Maybe they put me back in the call center. At least that's what I keep telling myself to keep the spirit up
