Metal-la-la-la

How can you do such pictures?! I mean...the truck one for example...if i had to take this picture with my camera (Canon EOS 400D + Zoom 28 / 105 mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM) it would be blury (not only the wheel and the road, but also the other things) due to the relative movement between my car and the truck, and eventually the road "bumps" which would make me move

And i'm pretty sure i would get some noise too on the dark zones...

I'm still a big newbie with my camera and i have some difficulties to find the good settings, so, until i find the good ones, i make some slightly blury pictures

rule N°1: if you want to play e-guitar, buy an e-guitar... and a guitar that you like (shape, colour, sound, etc...) because if you don't buy something that you like, you'll soon get bored and won't buy it...

When you buy your guitar, pay attention to the woods used to build it. It's VERY important as the wood is what will "taint" your sound. Search on google to see what are the various sounds of the various woods.

I would also recommend you buy an e-guitar with a whammy bar, you'll have much more fun with it, but it will be longer/harder to tune, but if you have (and you must have) and tool to tune it (sorry, i don't rknow the english name of this tool). It's cheap (aprrox. 15€) and will saves a lot of your time.

rule N°2: when you'll buy it, ask to test. Of course, as you don't know how to play guitar, you won't play on it, but just slide your fingers on the neck to see if there's nothing which could hurt your hand / fingers, like for example, some frets (the little metal bar on the neck) that would be a bit too long (that's what happened to me)

In my opinion, you should forget the Les Paul shape: not well balanced, very heavy, crap shape to play while sitting (everybody will tell you these shapes hurts when you try to play while sitting) and anyway, i don't look "punk rock"

For your amp, i have a 30W spider-II from line6 and it's absolutely perfect to practice at home. you won't do any concert, so 30W is way enough. These amps have all the effects you need to play punk rock and they aren't very expensive, and line 6 is anyway a (very) good brand

For the pick, it's a matter of taste.... i personally use a medium one and another one made of wood

If you need any other information, don't hesitate to ask

Everquest 2?

I played it and it was pretty cool. Of course, i recommend you to find a good guild, but the game is cool

You have the same sound kit than me

Z-5500 rulZ!

Honestly if i was a recruiter, i woulmdn't really mind about clothes. In fact, i prefer to see someone with his real everyday clothe -even if it is gothic, gangsta or raggae style- than someone coming with a blazer or so

We're working in video game industry, not in a bank

Need a second bass guitar in your flat? hire me at starbreeze and i'll come ;p

I'm dreaming about going there a day...and it still won't be this year...

and

Marilyn Manson is a pop-rock singer

And what?

NOOOOO!!! A TOPIC ABOUT WACKEN!!!

I'm dreaming about going there a day...and it still won't be this year...

EA will assist Mr. Moore with relocation-related expenses, which are currently estimated to be approximately $330,000.

330,000$ for moving?! They build him a palace or what?!

I'll try to go there but as i'm no more professional, i'll have to go there with all the gamers kids who stick to the gamepads like pitbulls on grannies

Yeah but we still cannot read anything

I've just spotted "ici" at the end of the first picture and "fuck" on the second picture

Same as Mazy...

Try "Super" to encode your videos. you can encode in any file type

Also, this problem may come from your video player. Maybe it plays the divx files darker than the others

Wow, thanks for this map, it's very useful

About the freelance / remote off site work, i pretty agree with warby. It's really anti-social and depressing.

Plus, i don't like this mix of work and home at the same place. I had the feeling to never stop to work. Also, it's pretty hard for me to work when i have MSN, ICQ, the TV and some games icons which tease me on my desktop.

Really, this working method is really special. Try it if you want but i really hated it. I definitely prefer to work in a studio, with people around me, a real team spirit and some exchange of ideas, point of view and such.

i finished it, it was pretty cool

Thanks for posting

it remind me a bridge game

Anyway, it may be a good thing, but right now their truck look like jelly trucks...I guess it still need more tuning and debug

As i'm born in burgundy, i had to vote for this map called "dijon"

Absolutely awesome, i want it!

And for those who indirectly called me "retarded" or any equivalent, just be aware that i play real bass and real guitar too

Most people who think it's retarded are people who haven't tried it. I know it, because the first time i saw this game i though the same. Then i tried it and now i'm addicted

Croatia is definitely the place to be nowadays. Hot women, lot of parties, nice sea, nice beaches, sun...

And to be honest, i didn't know that Sofia was so beautiful....

Thanks for sharing (ans yes, you can share more if you want )

Some how i had a feeling some one would ask that. She is 17.

Could i call you "father-in-law" next year?

Very nice, but why did you put a giant crate in the middle of a street?

...How old is your daughter?

Sorry Taylor, but even with bloom, it still don't look next gen for me:

It's still blocky, lacking of grass, with a bland lighting

My guess at the owners of those cars :

BMW Z4 : Boss

Lotus Elise : Producer

Black sports car to the left : Boss and producers weekend ride

Minivan : shared by modelers, graphical artists, level designers, sound engineers, programmers, QA, office cleaner, tech guy, concept artists etc.

:wink:

Haha yeah, in fact it was my guess too

...or they are owned by people working for another company around

I wanna work at Splash Damage, they all have sport cars!

Ok, in fact it was just to say there's a preview of Quake Wars on Voodoo Extreme website with pciture at of their office.

I don't know you, but me i love to see pictures of the office of the game companies
