Well, I got laid off from my job as Director of UI/UX at a high-end full-service agency last Friday. After helping build the company up from a staff of 3 to a full team of 40 within 7 years and generating a revenue for my clients to the tune of $5 million, I was simply too expensive (second only after the boss) to…

Ok =/

I’m with you on this, don’t worry.

I’m sorry you feel that way :(

Wait, Avery is a girl?

I see Milo Manara is also contributing a cover. Dude likes what he likes, and that is gorgeous women.

In the same boat. I live about an hour south of Cleveland in an area that is half-suburban/half-rural and features an amazing, top-rated school district. I love being able to wake up, let my dogs outside in my backyard, see nature do nature things, and be close enough to civilization to grab whatever I need.

The problem with that train of thought is it leads to a sense of elitism. Please don’t take this as a dig at you, since we all have a habit of doing so. I know I definitely throw the ‘I KNOW YOU LIKE THIS SONG BUT A SCHIZOPHRENIC OUTSIDER POP ARTIST WHO WRONG SONGS ON A BROKEN CASIO IN THE 80'S DID IT BETTER!’…

You know what? I was going to come up with a smart, witty reply to your comment. But then I thought: new year, new resolution to speak openly and honestly with others.

Yeah, sometimes a title that is crummy 10 years ago is still crummy now. I love a good success story or something that, upon reevaluation, paved the way for games proceeding it with unique concepts. Unfortunately, this is not one of those times.

Medium is the absolute worst. 

I’m old. I mean, this is interesting in a sort of chaotic way, but I’m officially old now.

It’s even funnier when these companies leak details without even knowing. At my old marketing firm, a paper supplier came to my office to show me some new products. One of said examples was the French copy of the Diablo 3 art book; a good 9 months before the game’s release. I didn’t say anything to the company rep,…

I guess it just comes down to: who cares? In the long run, who really cares who other people hang out with (that are not in a current, government-leading role)?

As an aside, (Sandy) Alex G’s new album is gorgeous and hopefully this will lead more people to checking his work out.

Williams’ work will be remembered in the art circles (not just animation) for decades to come.

I’m surprised (and thrilled!) to hear Belle & Sebastian were putting in that much of an awesome show on Saturday.

Nope, I 100% understand where you’re coming from and I frequently do the same things to the artists working under me.

No, you’re entirely correct. Just one of those silly things that rubs me the wrong way, but not enough to actually care in the long run.

Agreed on this. As much as I love Gabe’s art (and was taken from the original CCG), it doesn’t fit the general art direction now. It’s especially funny how Kill Command and Leeroy Jenkins both use the super old Gabe art and remain prominent deck tools for the past 5 years.
