    Impressive art! It seems just a bit too dark/noisy for current CSGO standards... i would say it looks a bit too realistic, but it is beautiful. Maybe just a slightly different lighting can make a difference in readability.

    Barrels look a bit too clean to be in such a decrepit underground, tires as well.

    True, but there's people that manage to do different things. Of course you put aside onep activity for the other or split equally.

    What's a game director's day like?

    I keep asking myself why Sam Lake is not also writing novels. In the Alan Wake Collector's edition there's a short story that tells about previous events and is very well written!

    OT: I'm not sure they would ever find out, but I think it would be stupid to expel because of sharing. Don't see the point, this stuff is based on published papers anyway.

    It was confirmed that Genysis will be ignored.

    I don't understand the hate, personally Salvation and T3 are much worse shit in terms of plain story (and cast sucked ass), at least Genysis tried to do something different, they played with time travel and basically set up the scene for making new stories that reset all the time and always feed from the original movie. I saw it as Groundhog Day where happenings are different but epilogue always loops to the same epilogue (which is the future premise of the movie).

    Is on Netflix.

    This is a great year for Stephen, so much of his stuff coming to screen (there's another direct to TV movie coming on Netflix from him, plus IT already in cinemas and Dark Tower coming soon).

    But I wonder his involvement with this, his name is used a but cheekily. At first I was quite happy to see the story re-envisioned (the main characters storykine have been greatly alterated for what i can remember) and adapted to current day tropes... but now that I got almost through the first season, feels like they've done this just to fill in content and stretch the story.

    The movie was very truthful to the novel and I'm missing the tension here.

    What makes you think they'll remove maps in the first place?

    Yes maintaining maps that are not in official rotation is a pain, but seems like a lot of people general thought is that CSGO should have a "seasonal" rotation of competitive maps. The system seems to work how they did with "remastering" maps until now.

    I would more object that you should add a new map from time to time.

    @Thrik just to clarify, that happens on mobile only (now?), I just edited a post on the computer and didn't cause the issue.

    I'm liking this latest trailer more, I guess is the combat scenes they picked… I'm not convinced by this resistance story. Not sure what it is, if is because they are keeping it light and it results in forced humor that doesn't work for me. For that I like more stuff like the cartoon ad, I would like to see that kind of stuff show up in-game same way Max Payne used to do.

    18 hours ago, Radu said: @blackdog come on, man! when are we going to see a map from you? I'll draw you a layout just to get you going :P

    I brought the computer with me this week to Italy, thinking I would still have time to dabble on something for the CSGO contest, just for the sake of it, but between arriving at midnight monday, staying at my grandma one night, showing canada pics to my parents... I haven't used it at all until tonight :/

    I realized recently that having little time for a hobby like this, I put loads of pressure on myself, when I actually sit down with the editor I want quick results, and that's a course in itself because everything looks like shit and just gets discarded. I should probably give up on the idea but I don't want to.

    Sorry for gravedig but this topic came up on a search and I remember I wanted to quote you on this

    Although I agree with the rest of the post, I think that recent releases contradict this theory. Companies much less healthy (read: no passive income) are putting out single-player games, and not just that, they are doing big games, huge releases with a lot of praise.

    Fallout 4, Dishonored, Prey, Doom (the SP is really what people play) -- for most recent times; latest years we got stuff like: Bioshock Infinite, Wolfenstein, Batman, Evil Within, MGS5... and I'm surely missing/skipping other noteworthy titles.

    So today and yesterday Humble Bundle was putting out free games (you can currently get Outlast + DLC) and that helped me discover I have so many more keys still to redeem from my purchases!

    Because it's quite hard to keep track of what I redeemed for myself and what I'm giving away, I'll just list below what I can give away, you contact me (quote is as good as PM) and I'll do the rest. This way when I redeem a key I actually know it has been also added to a library.

    Intersting stuff @braindeer, not sure if I said it already but I was looking myself to come up with a layout for Prodigy that would refresh it but keep it faithful to the original/make it recognisable. From what I see you are managing in doing so, congrats!
