Or maybe it's just textures with a lot of baked-in shading that look a bit weird as they're tilted. I've never seen any software that can take an environment and make it appear to be a painting (though I've seen quite a few that look somewhat *like* a painting, of course, but the gap between the two things is huge!).

And what a lovely thing that was, too.

Being that angry about a digital dog. What a fucking victim.

But the cover had nothing about a dog. It's an honest cover :)

You mean like dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you? I'm in.

I don't know, I haven't played it. But it was only meant to be a temporary weapon in a certain mission according to the preview footage I saw, much like the personal drone in Splinter Cell, and never was it stated that "in this game you will be a dog" or anything of that nature.

As if any company enjoys supplying a scaled-down game. I think you're rather overestimating the amount of sales generated by concept footage shown months/years ahead of release on niche sites, anyway.

I've not heard a single person saying anything remotely negative about Titanfall. Is there an epidemic of which I am unaware?

I feel strange about defending CoD, but what? What's an appropriate amount of time to play as a dog? Two hours? This is a disappointment, how?

This one lends itself quite well to a tattoo (one of the pieces I was particularly thinking of, with the popping eyes/tongues):

It's a swipe of the style of Robert Williams, who had enjoyed a pop culture resurgence in the 90s (cover artwork for Boogie Down Productions, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns 'n' Roses etc), and eventually fed through to mainstream product ads like this one. Robert Williams himself owed quite a debt to the sweaty…

You should play Dead Space while it still retains its power to be scary! It's actually quite a cathartic game. Some of my friends tried it and refused to play after a point because they weren't enjoying the constant tension, but as you progress you do become more dangerous. Eventually your upgrades and improving…

Hopefully more churches will move towards the Quakers and Unitarians. I don't believe in anything supernatural, but I know a lot of people who do so I've spent time in a lot of those organisations. I've noticed a lot of common approaches between those two Christian camps (not just those two, I'm sure!) and Buddhist…

In any future drug votes, I demand documented proof that every person voting has actually had a decent dose of those drugs. Also instant bans for posting any cutesypoo fuckery about "caffeine getting you to work to earn the money to buy drugs!", when clearly the closest you get to enjoying drugs is watching other…

He's not saying the Oculus Rift purchase is a mirror image of YouTube's, obviously.

Wow, okay. You're a piece of work.

And how does this scam work? You go to a job interview, you park your car up, and I guess you have to set up a friend to call the cops for you since you'd have had to go to a job interview for no reason, and then you have your kids taken away... because you plan to get an internet sympathy squad to help you out later,…

It's a shame the water hole glitch is ruining Foxman's scene, but then again the water glitch is one of the greatest, most deliberate-looking glitches in recent memory. It'll be a sad day if it's ever fully patched out.

And that's bad? I'm really confused by your whole thing here. When I was a teenager, I used to hang out with a wide range of people you might think were dodgy, all of them quite a lot older than me. My mum was okay with it because she trusted me to deal with that. If anybody called her parenting into question on…

I'm not seeing any sign that she approved of it, or that she approved after the murders. If she was okay with her daughter hanging out with some hippies who had never committed any murders up to that day, then I think that's a point in her favour.
