    What about using stuff like HTML (on WebKit), like the guys of Overgrowth did?

    Think that epic is using gtk for their solution? I know it's painful to maintain, but if you are getting license money you could afford to adopt the best solution on each os? (I mean then 2-3 different guy systems).

    Or could you have your own engine manage everything, have the tools run in it, have the GUI managed internally?

    Oh cool! I know about source, it was expected since they went on Linux and clearly when they lunched SteamOS; didn't know that UE4 was going to have Linux tools though!

    Is it not hooked up at anything really? I think Sony has a free(?) game engine since many years, I remember finding about an OpenGL engine from them when I was dwelling into their site…

    Quote from Marcem

    I find it odd how it's dependent upon C#/Windows though, with most engines/tools moving away from it.

    Uh? I know about native support for Linux (and Mac)… but development on the penguin, is it really happening?

    If something cool happens in a match Ill go to my Watch tab after, and download the match

    Oh wow, i'm so not updated that I didn't know every (competitive?) game is recorded.~

    I watched first two rounds of the final last week; I'm happy games are being recognised as sports… but I still find this absurd

    Good work! The one on the right is blatantly coppin a feel.


    Quote from SpronyvanJohnson

    What kind of bullshit is this? We're supposed to be nerds here. [...] hook me up with the one on the left.

    Haha, thanks guys! Geek is the new chic, right?

    Since I got here I've been so lucky, if I just had been less dumb... I am pretty much convinced I had a shot with each of these. The one on the right: she has a boyfriend, I have a girlfriend now... but I think I'd be pretty much ready to throw all away if she said the word. Who knows what the future holds.

    Sprony I'm ok with that (except for the fact that she seems to be avoiding me right now because of a joke we played on her friday night)... you just have to get past her personal trainer boyfriend.

    @Seldoon: funny, because the blonde next to me said herself that it looks like she hasn't the top... like in a picture when we went to the beach a month ago. Anyway, i wish all mingers looked this good... her house could also be featured on MTV cribs.

    Just watched 2 Guns. Pizza movie, 5/10.


    Quote from FMPONE

    Watched Zodiac last night, really highly recommended. I was skeptical because the material seemed dark and sort of gross, but it's a well-made film with much more emphasis on the thriller/mystery aspects than glorifying the violence

    I hated that movie, I found it incredibly boooring at the time, I really had to force myself to see the end.

    Quote from PaulH

    The final season already aired, I actually found it a little too sentimental

    Ouch! I was convinced they were going for 8 seasons, then it's the one I just watched on Prime in the past weeks. I can agree with you, I was expecting it to end this way, but in some other way, if that makes sense.

    DAFUQ?? They pulled the "Adventure of young Indiana Jones" already in the third chapter? Damn...

    looks great yes, but this section doesn't look ver representative of the best quality they can pull? I mean I would have chosen some scenario with large vista... but still, considering that Tomb Raider* is multi-platform, doesn't look much less to me.

    Aside: the kid animations are quite terrible as well, they look so fake and keyframed.

    *compare those titles just because they are similar, I mean: "corridor" type maps with large vistas in the background.

    You mean the first season? I think people got too used to the formula, and definitely the show hit a slump after the novelty... the daughter becomes so much of an annoying crybaby at some point you want her to die.

    Last season was very good imo, looking forward to them closing this modern love story in the next.

    Damn, I thought that Under The Dome was a one season deal, instead ends on a big cliffhanger and it's just by reading Wiki that I discovered a second season is already on-air. Apparently they want to run it for 5 seasons, but guess these things depend on the ratings

    Quote from Sentura

    Blackdog, I think you're missing an important point here: It's not the purpose of games to educate or discipline kids. Don't take the moral high ground expecting games to be anything but entertainment in their strictest form.


    The argument with "kids just consuming" is a strawman, and even if this is the case when it comes to some kids, then it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that their kids can handle this.

    Hey wait, as I thought I made clear replying to HP, I'm definitely not blaming games or developers, focus of my post wasn't direct addiction or promotion of education, and god forbid about moral enforcement.

    I'm just saying that as happy I would be to work in the industry and knowing that millions enjoy what I created... I'd feel a little bit guilty thinking how many kids would over-use and forget about other nice things there are outside the digital world.

    Of course responsability stands on the parents, i've said that myself... definitely not suggesting that you should put in a game a prompt suggesting the kid to turn off after two hours to go play football outside or make the homework

    Naughty Dog would be an extreme case of this because of the PS3's architecture. I'm pretty confident if it was a mutliplat game it wouldn't look as good.

    Does Uncharted look that good? In video that doesn't look much more than Tomb Raider. (I don't have a PS3 or the games to compare side by side).

    Starting yesterday's session I noticed I was just below 60% of Arkham Origins… can't believe how little impressive this story is: I got to 90% by the end of it.

    Also I think the sound mix is done poorly, dialogues aren't very clear, they seem to be on the same channel of other effects :/

    Very disappointed

    Yep watched the intro to the 1st map of the grand final during lunch, that page links to yt stuff.

    I'm still surprised by the esport being so big right now. But it's nice.

    Thanks for the links!
