Epic. Some of these shots remind me of Soviet era fantasy.

Yeah never has such a thing intended as whimsical fun made me so depressed

I thought the stylized aesthetic of the world building perfectly meshed with the parkour mechanics. In 2009, that stylization was starting to vanish from AAA.

The sequel? I think I have a hard copy somewhere but I havenโ€™t played it.

In spirit, Mirrors Edge is a contender. Even though there is *a gun* itโ€™s the most irrelevant part of the game.

Good on the Verge writer by immediately going full subversive- addressing MS propaganda by starting with the phrase โ€œSo letโ€™s focus on the gameโ€.

Creating a Level Blockout for Game Development - Epic Games Dev Community
YouTube video by Level Design Learning with Patrick Haslow Creating a Level Blockout for Game Development - Epic Games Dev Community

It's #Blocktober again, so its time for a reminder about my video for #EpicGames on creating #leveldesign blockouts in #UnrealEngine.

It's part of a series I created as a Level Design Learning Path:

Ha. My guess is that lines like that read like technobabble nonsense to most actors so at times it might seem like they have a choice to either recite in monotone or add an inflection.

Yeah I ascribe strongly to the belief in broken systems. We didn't ask for it, but here we are.

The only game I think worth it (and a miracle it got made) is Alan Wake 2. Or maybe a few Sony first party titles. From what I actually played on it, its the only clear justification for me going from PS4 to 5.

At best it leaves you with a mercenary mentality. Which as a willing or unwilling member of capitalism might be a best case situation.

After 2 years at my first job at Threewave Software was layed off due to the credit crunch of 2007 (greed). Next 2 jobs at Kaos Studios and Irrational Games same end. Left me with low expectations forevermore. If financial mismanagement is ill treatment, then yes I realized it long ago.

Wiggum frequently talked as if he was in a 1930s crime movie, and the ref was obvious to me. The mayor talked like JFK.

20-30 year old songs were licensed, the MJ episode ended like (spoiler) One Flew Over the Cuckooโ€™s Nest from 1975, etc.

Yeah exactly that. Historians 100 years from now will need to use a new marker that's tremendously more important than BC/AD.

Its all anecdotal, but internet posting does allows you to witness far more anecdotes than pre-internet.

The phenomenon I have noticed is the exponential increase year after year since 2010 (?) of people aware of very little of existence prior to their experience. I suspect it's a cultural trend. The first 30 years of my life I didn't encounter the phrase "before my time", now I do frequently.

But also, they gotta make their nut somehow.

Pretty sure his marketing professor schtick is good cover for any sociopath.

So this asshole draws up an equally batshit scenario to sympathize with an equally batshit response. Logic at its best.

David Cross Slams Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle and Others Performing at Saudi Comedy Festival: โ€œDisgustedโ€ In a scathing open letter, Cross is the latest to criticize his fellow comedians for participating in the Riyadh Comedy Festival: "I am deeply disappointed in this whole gross thing. How can any of us...

โ€œThat people I admire, with unarguable talent, would condone this totalitarian fiefdom for โ€ฆ what, a fourth house? A boat? More sneakers?โ€

Thank you David Cross for calling out the disgraceful behavior on display.

Microsoft is hiking GamePass prices by exploiting the subjective myth of inflation perpetuated by the wealthy class.

Everyone can determine the amount of OUR demand vs. the supply provided by Microsoft.

Let corporate overlords know they have overestimated demand by cancelling your subscription.

Started playing Fashion Police. Really digging the retro aesthetic with modern sensibilities and the subversion of violent FPS.

It feels like a really polished mod, and I mean that in the best way possible.

Same in the USA. Corporate bought politicians use the same bullshit talking points to frame the service that way.
