“Ordern” is actually a German verb: http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/ordern

The game actually borrrows heavily not just from LA Confidential, but all of James Ellroy’s LA Quartet novels. A lot of the missions (especially on the homicide desk) are also based on real cases from the 1940s.

I have had this issue since launch (I live in Germany, not West Africa). The game placed me in that exact same spot, and finding a match could take up to an hour, whereas friends living in the same town could find one in seconds. In the cases where I did find a match, it was usually against American players, resulting…

This blew my mind when I spent a year in the US as a German exchange student at age 16. I went from an environment where my parents (and most other parents I knew) were basically cool with having friends of the other sex sleep over starting at around age 14, to one where having someone over meant staying in the living…

Have Blizzard presented any information on how their league is going to be run? Since teams are tied to cities, and players are expected to live and train in their team’s city, how are they going to handle matches? Are they really going to fly players across North America and back every week just so they can play a…

Let me guess, you have no idea how many women actually play these games, do you? Luckily, someone actually went and colelcted some stats on that:

No. These are all rendered shots.

It’s actually Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz, but that’s just the longest word to have appeared in official texts. You could easily use that word as a starting point to come up with something that’s even longer, since German compound nouns can (in theory at least) be infinitely long.

You can’t season non-stick coated pans. Especially not the kind with rubber handles.

Does Blender even support integrated GPUs for GPU rendering in cycles? Last I heard they only supported nVidia cards via CUDA and AMD cards via OpenCL.

Dota 2 sets aren’t just reskins of existing models. They are designed, modeled, textured, and, in many cases, animated completely from scratch. Many of them even feature completely new particle effects.

This isn’t any different from freelancing, which a lot of 3D artists are doing anyway. It’s not like they’re wasting their time. They’re working in their chosen field, gaining experience and building their portfolio in the process. It’s not like they’d end up with zero marketable skills once their current source of…

You and that other guy who responded, apparently.

Believe it or not, the guild leader of Method is actually pretty buff.

They won’t be building their numbers, though. The NPD been on the decline for years, and, if anything, the recent popularity of nationalist movements in Europe has funneled people away from them to the more moderately nationalist AfD, which poses a much greater threat.

Judging from those prices, you’re essentially paying 1500 dollars for just the wooden box, which is absolutely ridiculous. Those markups make Alienware’s look reasonable.

It took me four tries to actually win a game in this new mode. Not because my team was doing particularly badly, but because people would get bored and leave the game after a lost round or two, causing the match to shut down due to a lack of players.

I’m pretty sure both the Playstation Experience and the Capcom Cup took place last week.
