Here is the kicker, you could easily get into the game biz with a CS degree. It is better to have that degree vs. a game design degree, which has only been a thing for a few years. Don't do it though. Don't get into the game biz. You will just end up leaving dried up and frustrated. Then you'll get a job again as a…

Get out of that degree, immediately. Get a Computer Science or similar degree. A game studio will snatch up a CS degree over a game design degree, mostly because the game design degree is made up and has only been around a few year. Once you know how computers and programming works from bottom to top through getting a…

Jebus... can we not sensationally cast faux outrage at everything? As if the people who make the show owe society something or that they have some grand responsibility. They don't. If you don't like a piece of entertainment, don't watch it. There is no blame to cast because there is no infracation. HBO owes no one an…

This. The game favors preparedness. Most people never understood that.

After working several years in the game industry I can say that, without a hint of remorse or a twinge of regret, the industry can go fuck itself. Studios that open and shutter faster than bowel movements, sub-par pay (if you aren't and executive anyways... go figure), INSANE hours, a constant denigration if you…

That is fucking amaze-balls!

So, in your opinion, I should be able to be fired for participating in and equal rights movement or an "Occupy" - type movement because my boss doesn't like it? You sir (or lady), are a fascist.

I happen to agree that Donald Sterling is both a bigoted asshole and he was unjustly prosecuted. His beliefs are his beliefs.…

This is an extremely common technique in video games to keep from having to render real reflections in realtime, thereby saving system resources, and is especially common for console games, as they have set low end hardware to deal with. I hate it because once you see it, you can't un-see it. This technique is used…

You know why this is a failed idea. It is not the tech, which is awesome. It is not the fact that almost 100% of car crashes are caused by human error and this may reduce deaths by car crashes significantly. It is not even the thought that this tech could basically end drunk driving incidents permanently. What is…

Hyperbole much?

"You look like a white Steve Harvey."

This is a common theme in the video game industry. While I didn't last 16 years (an IMPRESSIVE feat!) I can tell from experience all the horror stories you hear about it are all true. If you cannot devote 220% of your life to it, it will chew you up and spit you out all the while demanding 60-70 hours per week…

Fucking vomit. Can we get something, ANYTHING without some self righteous douche claiming it is "Culturally Insensitive™"? Can we just let people create stuff without the apparently ever present worry that it may offend someone, somewhere? "Boo hoo! That game doesn't represent ME in way I like, so I am going to slam…

Agreed. Most people do not know this, but MS and Sony have what are known as TCR or TRC's respectively. (Technical Requirement Checks. Basically a list of things your game must or must not do to be released on their system) These must be adhered to strictly, as your game must be submitted to MS or Sony CQA for testing…

The other percentages come from IV drug users and sex workers, who are also barred from donating.

It is simple. Cost efficiency. It isn't homophobia. If you can cheaply reduce the chances of receiving possibly disease tainted blood to zero through a questionnaire rather than testing (which requires trained people to do. You say it is a simple test, I say those tests cost millions of dollars when done on the large…

It is unfortunate, but the problems with Nintendo are systemic problems regarding Japanese culture and their ability to change with the times. Everybody thinks they are higher tech then they are. Offices still use fax machines instead of email, memos are still printed and passed around. While working for a game…

That is probably a Ralph Lauren design...

I wish one of the updates would be to decrease environmental voxel size by 75%. I think that would be amazing. Add more voxel per meter density.
