I'm with you. I don't understand the need to shit on either state. I grew up in Orange County, spent a few years in McKinney, TX, am back in Orange County now, and looks like we might be back in McKinney again with this news. I'm not thrilled about this, but if we DO choose to go, we know it's a great place to live,…

The rumor started spreading late last week, but no one has been told officially. As to whether we'll go or not, I can't say.

Man, that's nuts. Glad that aspect of things was handled sanely. Has anything come of the identity thief/sex offender? I'd hate to think someone was out there continuing to use pieces of your identity.

That may be so. But that's no reason to drag the guy's reputation through the shit. Take the extra hour to talk to him and confirm the identities of his children. Then go back to the office and thank god you didn't charge an innocent man of something which, considering the high profile of college football coaching,…

visions of TV cameras and political ambitions in his (or her) head.

In a rational world, about an hour. 5 minutes to sit down and ask "who are these kids in these pictures?" and another 45 minutes for someone (a cop or detective or whatever) to go to the guy's home and radio back "Youbetcha, those are his kids alright".

With his knife and go-bag, he's a force of nature.

Picked this up at the end of last week and really enjoyed it. Although I wouldn't compare the two, I felt this had a real "Journey" sort of feel to it.

It would be nice, but as an animator, I can tell you that the revisions would require a lot more than just re-rendering. Those new versions change the shape and fleshiness of the mouth, nose and cheek area entirely. Those models couldn't be subbed in without having the animators go back in and re-do significant…

Simultaneously, somewhere, Sergey Brin shed a solitary tear. For what he knew not, but there it was, rolling down his cheek; a silent salute to technology lost.

These felt funny the first few times I saw them, when they were limited in time and usually pointed out actual, real errors. Now they just seem like over-long excuses for the guy to point out things he doesn't like. They're no longer "Everything wrong with" and more "everything I don't like". And TWELVE minutes? …

Ditto. I love watching the new series with my kids. Fun stuff!

Doubtful. The US and Israel (as well as other countries) are probably more interested in seeing what the Iranians actually DO to that thing, rather than preemptively destroying it.

Budget. Cinematics cost money - quite a bit, in fact. Depending on the route taken, you're hiring out a mocap stage and the people to work it, the actors and actresses who will be performing, a team of solvers, a team to mo-edit, a team of animators to clean (and change, per the director's instructions) the mocap…

Even more interesting is when players have the nerve to try to negotiate a better deal and public sentiment almost immediately turns against them because "Players bad, Owners good!" logic seems to take over.

Feels too highly produced to be legit. The camera cuts, angles, the bad acting...we're supposed to believe the score got to 9-0 before Timo "figured out" the robot's weakness and then ran the score to 9-11?

Ehhhhh...Serious, or not? Because whatever you may think, that's not a mocap suit.

I don't know...and to be honest, if that's the case, then I have sympathy for him. It's freaking HARD to get into this industry. As big as it may seem at times, with all the studios and vfx houses making films, plus the game studios churning out titles, the fact is there are FAR more people, really talented people,…

And yet, here you are, on a gaming blog dedicated to the fruits of their efforts, criticizing them for bringing you the entertainment you presumably care enough about that you're here in the first place.
