I've been in this guys shoes before. This is the industry. Not everyone makes it. It's the sad, sad truth. I'm a freelancer now and I know, I've been promised gigs and full-time positions and etc etc. But it's a business. People get hired and fired all the time. In the creative industry it's extremely rough to be able…

Yeah, I don't like JRPGs. It's usually when I'm grinding when I realize "Holy shit I have no life" and I stop playing. I feel that in western RPGs there's almost always a sense of progression, maybe they're a bit "easier" but I can't spend the hours hacking away as much as I love spending hours in any one game.

Looks like it might be cool! I'm just not interested in playing "Walking: The Game" - Don't get me wrong, I like to be immersed, but I'd like to think I kind of have a life.

I jumped in on Neverwinter and was pleasantly suprised. I don't usually like MMOs for the most part but I think I may spend some time in the game. The Secret World was also really cool. I just wish I had more friends that played. F2P model is usually terrible, but at the same time, I'd never pay monthly to play a…

Damn, you beat me to it. The immature teenager in me wanted to yell like I have tourette's syndrome "Pointy boob!" "Pixelated tits!"

This looks really cool, but I have a gut feeling this is going to be a renter or buy on Steam/GMG for 50% off weekend. I just hope there's more to the story and it's not just an open world game with only 5 variable missions. (Fetch and retrieve this, find this person, save this person, recover this object, escape…

That's usually my deal. "This game sucks. Oh my god this AI is ret... Oooh a pretty lens flare!"

Well, I work freelance in the video game industry but I still felt unemployed from time to time. I now have a part-time job to pay the bills but honestly, I don't have any other habits. I love eating out, but I do cook at home. I don't do anything like smoke or drink or spend ridiculous money on my car or anything…

Very quickly! I also learned not to accept deferred payments. A lot of people promise payment when the game is "released." Sometimes I forget games can be delayed for YEARS. Hah! :)

I was actually very close to being hired as composer on this project and also experienced some strange back and forth with David. While I am not here to put him down, as I'm sure he is a person with good intentions, his inexperience and lack of professionalism doesn't bode well in the video game industry. I asked for…

I keep my onions in the fridge mostly because we've had gnat problems with leaving certain fruits and veggies out. And once you get them, they're extremely difficult to get rid of. When they're not in the fridge I find that it's a full on cry fest and I'll have to hand the rest over to someone else to finish chopping…

I know, man. It's insane. I'll be 25 this year and I was geeking out with my friends and coworkers about the new systems and just new technology in general. We always wonder what the HELL to expect when we're 90 and have had a dozen carpal tunnel surgeries.

It's okay, they'll just end up making 7 of these movies like Resident Evil. It'll all work out... Right guys? RIGHT?! *cries uncontrollably*

I was at E3 2012 and saw Jessica Nigri (Chainsaw Lollipop) and she was on somewhat of a pedestal posing. Everyone was stopping to take pictures, even I did. It was obvious she was welcoming the photography, the promotion for the game, and etc. But how do people draw the line? I guess all conferences are different. In…

The first Army of Two was fun co-op. Decent game worth playing. But seriously, the second one was so unfun. The camera was extremely awkward and the combat was not engaging (And more frustrating than anything). I played it for maybe 2 hours and gave up, it was not worth my time and I am NOT interested in any more Army…

I don't hate EA. I really don't. I have a few friends that work for EA owned studios and I don't think they're the worst company in the world. I think gamers expect so much from them because, well, gaming is an expensive habit and when they see EA with some decent amount of money rolling in they're pissed because…

Great article. I'm a bit sad that I wasn't able to attend this year and meet with my fellow industry mates. But your description of this years sounds spot on. For someone like me who is shy and quite honestly hates meeting new people, I do get social anxiety and I think I buried myself deep in video games at an early…

Color me impressed. The lips obviously need more work, that was a bit awkward. But the eyes give away a lot of expression, the wrinkling is crazy. I hope in next-gen games, we'll be able to perform and predict actions of characters (like in real life) by their facial expressions.

I really wish they would just start separating SP and MP campaigns already. I know that Uncharted recently did that with their multiplayer, which I think is fantastic. But I remember playing COD:MW3 campaign and I laughed the whole time thinking it was a parody of itself. (I borrowed it, thankfully). But I'd pay $40…

Sucks that you and other people have had issues but I've ordered at least 6 games from GMG (I'm in the US) and never had issues with keys (Or my bank) and in fact many games activated fine on Steam. They probably got super overloaded with pre-orders, they get their keys from the publishers sometimes and I know that…
