Too many to recall them specifically in the years of mp gaming but I remember some epic times in Battlefield 1943, Vanilla Natural Selection, Red Faction, and CS. But one memorable time in art college a bunch of my classmates fired up UT 2004 and did a Last Man Standing mode between like 25 of us in the same room.…
I don’t like how its almost 2018 and the CG animated sequences are so glaringly CG. Can we actually go the hell back to practical affects already?
I feel like the reason people give up so easily is that it can take a long time to see a difference. Like when you see someone noticeably out of shape jog in place for literally five (5 seconds) followed by some half assed stretching and you can see in their eyes that they think they’ve accomplished something when…
Many of these, especially the smoking ones, capture my slow nights working at the hotel. Only trash/delivery trucks/street sweepers from time to time. And rain.
Playing through M2:Durandal right now. All three games in the series can be played on modern machines through Aleph One Open source! Here’s the link. https://alephone.lhowon.org/
And we were told videogames only promoted kids to go on shooting rampages...seriously though what an inspirational story, thanks for sharing!.
Forgot to mention that very periodically games would pause themselves due to a the wires being jank and its very sensitive to get cartridges to play
There was an argument I had with my father when I was like six or seven (1991-92) or something and I flipped him the bird. My parents had been fighting over something previously, most likely me playing the NES too much and not listening to them about chores or something...Any who, me giving him the bird ignited…
Stop giving garbage a name and devaluing effort
I’ve probably had well over 1000 of them in Vanilla Natural Selection days...Being gorge healed at the last imminent second, a swarm of fellow skulks coming in to save my arse...Natural Selection is just a prime example
Insightful video, thanks for sharing!
Ok, real talk for a moment. About 10 months ago I was doing something around 260 - 300 feet elevated pushups (25 per set). The first 100 - 125 were done with one of those tactical vests you buy from military surplus stores and had about 30 lbs of workout weights (the ones you strap on your ankles or wrists) attached…
The very first time you get pulled up into the mouth of the cieling barnicle creature thing in the original Half-Life is just about the scariest moment ever experienced in any video game...admit it. The only way you learn about them is after you die from one.
Loved Marathon, Despise Halo.
these limitations are intentional for game performance reasons. Highlight reel, spectator modes and such reveal some of the bugs that weren’t caught in the bug testing stages of development and its interesting to see players try to break games as it shows the amount of work and optimization that goes on behind the…
Half-Life: Uplink
Having had experience as a game developer I can say that there is a high probability that the whole of the dam is likely one singular mesh or asset and not set up to be destructible so its pretty pointless in trying to blow it up. Perhaps at one point in production having the damn blow up was considered but due to…
New development pipelines for videogame materials in the past couple of years have essentially turned the way we used to create materials on its head for more realistic ones based on their real physical world properties and so we’ve come a far away with everything looking like wet plastic. Look up PBR or “Physically…
