So, Gearbox is seeking a developer to collaborate with for a new Duke Nukem. Apparently some concept work has already been done. You can read it here. That's nice and all, but what I read is this:

"We want to be able to blame someone else if things don't turn out well. It's physically and mentally impossible for us to admit guilt and we'll lie our asses off if it means more sales, regardless in what state our product is".

No thank you Randy, why don't you ask your last partner TimeGate studios? Oh wait, you killed them....

This guy gave me a lot of trouble. But in Bloodborne, perseverance is key. After trying several tactics and dying like 10 times, I finally found a way to annihilate this ridiculously fast bastard without taking almost no damage. I feel all powerful now, until the next boss though!

Yes, I have it, but no one on my ridiculous small PSN (I'm not an MP gamer) friend list plays it

Bookmarked this thread for it's pure awesomeness!

Quote from Thrik

Searching is something that I'll work on improving. I had to lock it down quite tightly a couple of weeks ago because someone was hitting it with extremely intensive searches every second, which led to immense slowdown.

It took me some time to figure out this was what was happening, and during the process of elimination to find the cause I ended up wiping the search indexes and putting unforgiving search delays into place. I can now relax these and rebuild the indexes, which ironically enough will cause some slowdown but should improve things afterwards. I'll try to kick that off tonight when things are quieter.

I would have done this sooner but I've been abroad for the last 1.5 weeks.

Is that the reason why I can't find dick while searching even though I use the exact same words as the thread title?

Doesn't matter if you want to become a Level Designer, Environment Artist, Programmer or whatever. If this is you, please reply with the role you are aiming for. This will help me in developing something new for the Core. Sorry for being vague. But I can't really say much at this time without ruining the surprise. I'll update this thread as things progress. Also, please, no off topic replies. If you have any inquiries you can PM me directly.

Thank you!

EDIT: Now that the cat is out of the bag, check this post I've just made:

For those of you that are wondering what the purpose of this thread is, you can see the results here. The first was well liked so I'll continue this. Each time, I'll cover a different role. Based on the role I choose, I'll select anyone from this thread who has ambitions towards that role. After a group chat, I'll collect all your questions and get them answered. So please, feel free to keep this going guys.

@Pro people, hit me up if you are interested in doing one for the community.

I'll just leave this here:

Such a huge loss for the gaming industry. Not only was he involved with all major Nintendo titles in the 80's, he was also, partly, responsible for Nintendo's biggest successes. Namely the Wii, DS, Pokemon and Super Smash Brothers. What a shame to lose him to cancer on such an young age (55).

What a terrible insult to the James Cameron classics.

Finally, it's here. Ash is back to fight the Evil Dead. One season of 10 episodes (30 minutes each) is in development and will premiere this Halloween. Holy shit, I'm excited about this one.

I love dealing with customer service in a passive aggressive kinda way so I send them this. I wonder how they'll reply

Due to my recent move I've become victim of your Horizon digital cabal box. It's the only one you supply. In this house we refer to it as the poltergeist. This box, presumably originated from Dante's Inferno, is probably the most annoying piece of hardware I've ever had to deal with. In 50% of the cases, it won't even boot up. I have to physically remove the power cord at back of the device instead of the power outlet in order to get it to boot up. Even if it boots up, the whole process takes an average of 2 minutes. The menu is so slow and difficult to navigate that I find driving blindfolded in the city during rush hour easier to do. When I do finally manage to select a program to watch back, it actually never starts with the program I select. No, it start 3 minutes earlier so I'm forced to sit through even more commercials. Sure, fast forward you say. Well, I would, but the input is so slow that pressing play has an delay which forces me to rewind again. Sometimes though, I manage to actually watch something briefly before it gets interrupted, usually with the worst possible timing, with the notification that my viewing time has expired. I can't resume after that so I basically gave up on all these features and decided to watch regular TV instead. But even that seems impossible due to the amount of errors I'm getting.

Now, I've worked in this sector for 10 years. I know how to handle these things. But even with another Horizon box, I'm experiencing the same problems and I'm not the only one (I dare you to Google). I'm not even allowed to visit my in-laws anymore because I told them they should get one too (not knowing this of course). I'm stuck with you guys for a year so I can't flee. But please tell me I can send this demonic cable box back. I don't want anything in return. I just want it out of my house. I'll even pay for shipping. Now, this is not a threat, but I can guarantee you that one of these days I'll break and your Horizon box will plummet to it's death from my 10th floor balcony. Which leaves me with the bill. So where can I send it? I'd rather not watch TV at all then have that American engineering disaster in my house.

They've just released all of their source files. Go check it it out in there latest public beta

Darkest Dungeon

As if Lovecraft made a baby with Warhammer Quest. Brutal, unrelenting and extremely addictive. I can't stop playing this!

Yes, them not showing it clearly leaves room for speculation. However, Brienne is not the woman she once was. Plus, she was madly in love with Renly. I think her love and therefore grief will triumph over her sense of duty. Stannis is dead I reckon.

Quote from Skjalg

I think Lady Stonehart is cut for good, I wont be expecting to see her. Same with the Brotherhood Without Banners.

That being said, I thought it was very nice that Melisandre managed to get herself up in the same location as Jon right before he died ; - )

Agreed.

Quote

Although I was a bit surprised that they killed off Stannis. I didn't expect that. But it was a nice touch for Brienne's story arch. Which certainly is a lot better in the show than in the books. Now that Stannis is dead though, I wonder what will happen with the Iron Bank. In the books, if I remember correctly, it was agreed that they would finance Stannis. Now, you've got the Tyrells talking with them in Braavos. I wonder where they are going with that. Plus, Lord Friendzone returning to Dani's side. Some great twists here and there. Which leaves me wondering what's in store for the Dornish prince especially now that they killed the Queen's daughter.

You see @TheOnlyDoubleF, happiness comes when you least expect it. You searched so hard to find something else and failed but you are rewarded for staying put. It means it was the right decision. Have fun!

@leplubodeslapin, I imagine you going like this:

Sorry to hear that @blackdog. Depression can be dangerous but I'm sure you'll put in your best effort to cheer her up!

NO OAK TREES IN INS_BUHRIZ PLS DELETE MAP SO BAD

Jack, if you ain't got anything constructive to say, don't post. Any post that's not on point will be deleted from now on. As for the rest of you, @Vaya said it best. You can't help people who don't want to be helped.

I went to see this with little expectations and surprisingly thoroughly enjoyed myself. The nods to the original we're well done without going overboard. What I considered ludicrous (the newly created dino and the trained raptors) actually made sense in context with the rest of the movie. It felt, however improbable, plausible. I had fun, laughed and I was on the edge of my seat during the third act. The final battle was amazing. Great movie overall. Besides the original, it's by far the best in the series. Can't wait to see it again!
