is the exact same as in Quake 1

I think it was more about it not being an established character/franchise in the genre, not the genre itself. I don’t think there is much exposure risk being in a Star Wars movie (unless you’re female, apparently.)

They aren’t Coke, for whom the majority of their revenue is people buying an odd can of soda here or there throughout the year.

(I apologize, I responded to Megaface’s quote in the article, rather than to his comment directly.)

I worked on that as an audio programmer. Glad you’re enjoying it!

Some may think of it as minor Keaton. I care not! Multiplicity is very funny.

The traffic-chasing internet is broken. Whether the legal system is broken is another question, but as a piece of supporting evidence, I would wait until this has actually *happened* instead of “could pay”. GEICO could also get into the tomato farming business tomorrow. I mean, it’s pretty unlikely, but they could.

“Rridiculous” things do happen, but our default reaction should always be to assume we don’t have the full set of information until we are sure we do. And even then, it takes time after the ridiculous sounding thing has actually happened for all the information, context, and details to come to light to make any…

There is a certain set of the population that lack the self-esteem necessary to comfortably criticize decision making in bodies of work. I’m not denigrating these people - many external factors are major contributors to whether people have developed healthy self-esteem or self-actualization - but it seems to manifest…

Well, Modern Warfare’s MP was chef’s-kiss perfect. I have not one single problem paying $70 for this, in advance.

I would just like to say I was both thoroughly informed and entertained by this review Todd. Top work.

now I’m really just curious what you have against the letter y

in graffiti, being legible is not a primary purpose. looking good is. “looking good” is subjective, hence not all people like graffiti style - particularly if one is predisposed to the opinion that graffiti is more vandalism than cultural beautifier (to be clear, this is not my opinion)

Way to compare a *smaller section of a full real-time framebuffer render of an unfinished game* with a *full framebuffer of a pre-rendered cutscene from a finished game* - which still looks worse unless you’re trying to be obstinate. Ugh, as surely as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, there’s always a…

Please stop trying to bring back the “stop trying to bring back the” crutch.

Blah. Talking is a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” thing and you just can’t win. Some people will fill in the details if you don’t talk, and some people will say that denying something is strong evidence to the contrary.

In any social relationship in which there is a power dynamic - eg boss/employee, particularly in high stakes/visible situations - it’s wrong (ethically speaking) to use that imbalance to your advantage or even to put yourself in a situation in which that imbalance can be used. This is why many workplaces require…
