moving back. this forum is only for companies who are hiring employees.

Well, I don't really make much art anymore... what kind of tutorial are you interested in? Things have changed a bunch with all the normal mappin' and specular dance party action. I do well with "hey i posted an ugly photo." I just draw on top of it and take pictures.

Gears of War is an interesting middle ground for Microsoft. They have made it the "new" halo in some ways. They definitely have put all of their marketing muscle behind it. The difference is Epic can't be be bought and they aren't willing to bend over and make a bunch of changes. GoW is an M rated game with chainsaws ripping people in half and a bunch of football jock marines swearing their asses off. Microsoft hasn't ever really approved of this (see MTV special) and can't get 100% behind it. This makes Epic awesome. Damn the man, save the empire.

this thread is silly in all ways.

As his one and only office mate, I can unequivocally declare this message to be false. He runs like a man. A platonically attractive man run.

Well we go through a lot of level designers in the COGS program. It's helpful to know stuff about people coming in, which is why the core comes in handy. A lot of people stay after their COGship and some of them go elsewhere to a different company- either way it's a great way to get started in the industry. Also, vivi, drop the ice cream shit.

wow. that's a really big gearbox logo you got there. twice.

The rendering is up to question, but irrelevant as this is a video promoting next gen physics. Which are all canned animations and in no way actual, in game, physics. So, fake.

That rules over all things that have ever ruled.

totally agreed. such a great show. AND CONTINUITY! stuff actually happens that affects future stories! poor adult swim line up looks so dumb next to it (sept for boondocks, that show is the cats meow)

ahem.

the red turtle shell belongs at number one all you noob sauces.

something deletable.

as far as the sewer goes... couldn't you find a clever way to make the entraces and exits ramps instead of ladders? that way its the best of both worlds. also (and this is a weird suggestion that I"m surprised nobody ever did.) It would be cool to add sewer grates every 30 feet or so- so if the ct's were using the sewer the t's could see them and try to run after them. Just a neat little addition. Anyway, cool work so far, lighting needs love. ps. it IS blue outside at night depending on the time of year and how much light the moon is reflecting because whereas the suns light is not blue, a lot of stars are. This is also acceptable in more than just half life maps (most games, including bia although ours is a bit purple) such as most movies, tv, and such. It's helpful for portraying contrast where it's difficult to get it.

Gearbox got CS:CZ yanked from it in a bit of unfairness that resulted from Valve not paying attention to the development of the game. It went like this: "Awesome game, guys!" "Awesome game, guys!' "Awesome game, guys!" "Awesome game, guys!' "Awesome game, guys!" "Awesome game, guys!' "Awesome game, guys!" "Awesome game, guys!' "Oh wait this isn't what we wanted at all. Sorry, we're giving it to another company! Ciao!" Hahahahaha. yeah... fuck.

There's nothing wrong at all actually. We still talk to them a lot but really Gearbox isn't about making expansion packs anymore. We have a AAA franchise off and running with more on the way. we are all <3

Remember when you could believe what you wanted and it would offend people but that was okay? Like, when people understood that being offended was an unfightable part of life and it helped you grow as a person by learning to not sweat the small stuff... and you didn't expect money in reperation for when someone put a star of David on their lunchbox and you couldn't handle it. I should sue all people that get offended, because that offends me that they allowed themselves to be offended.

Great, now Jack Thompson is gonna crawl up my ass and shut down the site. wtg.

We played it today at gamtime with a good 4 on 4 and I must say the visuals in this map are at a good halfway point and agree those need work. what i wasn't prepared for is the gameplay... the area around the bomb site is really... man it's hard to describe. I got the same feeling i played maps like assault, militia, train, cobble for the first time. It just has really well designed and easy to get the hang of gameplay. It really was insanity anyway, i'm gushy.... i'll let the map speak for itself when he releases a beta so ya'll dont think i'm shooting the shit for no reason.

Lol. I think the applications be able to provide your own housing in the event we have trouble securing apartments. We have ALWAYS done housing as part of the program, the HR deptartment is reponsible for helping you secure it.

It's not a commute bic, it's a relocation. If you are selected we put you up in an apartment for the duration of your contract... and you can watch movies at my house or something.

you live in plano squirrely?

It's not intern or offsite. It's a paid, on site, contract position for a set number of months. At the end of the period if you're good enough (which is likely) we offer you a job.
