  1. A very simple scene after my first few days with Source. Loads to comment on of course but I'm still learning. I applied several techniques in this such as decals, overlays, props, env_sun, etc. So far I'm loving Source :)

    Looking good man. I take it you're following tutorials? Which sites are you finding the most helpful? :)

  2. So I've just heard back from a studio in Newcastle that would like to interview me next week. The contract is a minimum of 6 months, so a bit longer than the previous one. I haven't had any info about salary yet, but I imagine it'd be in line with the other one. It's still a difficult position for me with my girlfriend and so on, but it's only 2 hours away as opposed to 4.

     

    Am I throwing away chances here? I know it's only QA, but if I can continue working on level/game design in my own time then surely this improves my chances of landing a job? Be it at that particular studio or elsewhere.

     

    I'm guessing the general consensus will still be to pass but I thought I'd ask again, you're a helpful bunch :)

  3. Yeah... Even getting one right now seems like a waste of money, but both?

     

    To be fair, there aren't many games out for them at the moment until around March and yeah, I could have probably waited... but the games I have will easily keep me busy until then. I haven't had any issues with mine (yet) and I love 'em both.

     

    I prefer the Xbox for multiplayer gaming, mainly because of the way I hold the controller, I can't play FPS for shit on a Dualshock.

  4. I never thought I'd say this, but I quite like the new Kinect. It seems to work much better than the old one. I use it a lot for navigating around the dash and apps, I rarely use the controller unless I'm actually in a game. The snap feature is pretty cool too.

     

    I still feel like a knob sat there talking to my Xbox though.
