Within the first week or so of the initial lockdown New York Times had an article titled along the lines of “It’s ok to play video-games right now.”
Which I took both as a hilarious headline for NYT and also very condescending.

I remember watching TV with my parents as a kid, and my Dad who is absolutely abysmal with…

Pretty sure Plaidcar was the Porsche 911 RSR for the Canadian Motul team at Rolex at the head of 2020.

I definitely get this, especially when I am very inactive ie working from home in a desk for prolonged hours and drinking coffee. I had not used specifically “feeling trapped” but recently described it as “plain faced, but on the inside a terror one would have as their car suddenly flies off a cliff or realizing your…

He might have just boiled water and steeped them in it after like he was actually making tea, part of me feels like he was a lot more casual about this and it was not some big production aside from the filtering. Likely quite a bit of it was able to withstand the sub-boiling hot water, and perhaps his mistake (aside…

Before about a year ago I never thought I would be into racing sims, despite the fact I love cars and played a ton of Gran Turismo 3 way back. My brother gave me his G27 collecting dust in his closet while I was helping him move and I haven’t stopped racing since. Dropped the cash on a Fanatec setup along with the…

I have another comment in here somewhere about how it never should have been considered for the PS4. It was never going to work and I consider it one of the most arrogant decisions in game development history.

Just came back to this article because I had a flashback later today of my younger brothers and I who had basically memorized the loading command via a stupid little song
L Shift O Shift TWO!
Star Shift TWO!
comma eight. comma one.
Return!

(I forgot that many people used “LOAD”, but L and holding Shift-O produced an upside…

I miss it so much.
Gunship was a fantastic Apache helicopter sim I had a joystick for. Wireframe graphics and an open map that thinking back to it now, was really incredible for it’s time.
Another fantastic game was Demon Stalkers, which had a level editor that at the age of 6 would have been my first taste of diving…

Put an Art Director, a Level Designer, and an Architect in the same room to collaborate on a building design and see which one leaves the room without a Centique stylus stab wound.
There is no way it was going to work out.

edit:
Better yet, get an intermediate environment modeler and have the Art Director, Architect, and…

I had a stop and realize moment when I finally noticed how well the lip-sync was animated with virtually all dialogue. This is certainly not just sci-fi skyrim with 4 voice actors spewing out one-liners through generic mouth movements and dead body-language. And the reason it took so long to catch on to this was…

Yeah.. As an artist in the animation industry I feel bad for these guys. For a lot of them, this was the ‘project of their career’. To send something off that you put so much effort into basically become an unavoidable media topic of disdain every time you open a browser window or look at your phone, this starts to…

Isn’t the Electro-Harmonix logo a human-like sheep? A Sheeple.. if you will..

You know it’s CRAZY when they put capital LETTERS to annunciate certain words IN a manner that is AKIN to a really bad 80's porn FILM.
Try it out, read any of those wacked out posts in porn voice, especially when they annunciate the least important words; it will lighten up your day.

Coming up this week: “EVE Online Christmas Parade actually just Goon Death Train, $1B in real-world ship value destroyed.”

I beat the shit out of Fingers, and then to really send the message I raided his bathroom for all his dildos. Melted them all to upgrade my pants, except a few pricier ones which went for sale at a drop-box.

I’m pretty surprised how good my PC which was a 2016 mid-high build with a hand-me-down 1070 transplanted into it turned out. I did at first glance, sort of hate it. The prologue was a mess and I was really starting to think that I was not going to like it at all. As soon as I got out of the prologue, the whole game…

Oh wow. I actually relaxed on not worrying too much about how permanent my character design choices are under the assumption that I could change it later on anyways... Damn. This feels like an easy update though, they will totally throw in a shop where you can get a haircut or body modification. I’d put a bet on that…

While I am opposed to killing DoF for a game that is cinematically driven, it is annoying in games because you arent really choosing where you are genuinely looking. So yeah.. I killed it.
Motion Blur was blasting when I started the game and I felt that moment of realization that my PC might not be able to run this…

On top of all your fantastic points, we also got our first conceptual teaser for this game in about 2013~2014, kickstarter had just begun taking the early strides in how games are funded, and we all sort of felt like we would see the same timelines whenever a concept trailer is released; or at least we had not learned…

I’m in Canada and was looking into learning to be an ATC, I was surprised to see that NavCanada actually tests and in parenthesis states “..(including cannabis)“ not only occasionally while active in the workforce but pre-emptively to recruitment into training. Honestly it’s not a big deal to me as I have gone years…
