Howdy. I've spent the last 3 months working my ass off for peanuts, not having any time to visit you guys, no time for my home, my girlfriend or her son, or even myself. But I quit and I'll be dropping by semi-regularly once I've secured regular, gainful employment. Having given up the trade...

Copyright isn't a padlock. I'm glad someone wants to make it less easy to silence and otherwise deprive people with dmca tadedowns and copyright strikes. As for critics being criticized for criticism, they're critics, what the **** did you expect? People can disagree with critics, and people do...

Buddy looks like a ****ing champ man. Good story. Tabby's death hurt me in a way that made me angry, because I wasn't there to stop it or say goodbye or anything. I just had to watch it from my window. Siam's death hurt me in a way that made me depressed as **** because he died in my hands and...

Again with the good questions! Fable uses inverted normal maps and they call them bump maps, but they're normal maps. Similar in concept but different in method. Fable also uses other types of maps. Using clever combinations of those with the various mesh and texture options allows for some...

Looks like we lost a little bit. I'll say it again. HobbeBrain, I deeply appreciate your words, and those of Drakan and Gikoku's (whose post, incidentally, was also lost). Interestingly I may soon find myself financially motivated for my works. A prospective employer wants to pick my brain...

To you photoshop pros, and even you photoshop non-pros, gimme your thoughts on this. Working on a new texture. This still needs a lot of work, I'm not pleased with the colors. The blue circles are placeholders until I get real portraits in there. Because I don't think TLC has 17 important...

Mmm, I hate to give praise to someone I just finished bashing as it comes off as kinda flipfloppy and I'm not running for president. However. You're not wrong. I only have HP and Acer support to compare it to, but Dell's support is the strongest of the three and HP is, in my own personal...

Whenever I learn something new I'll put it here. First, an aside. While I should follow this advice I never do, but I wholly recommend working on one aspect of a project at a time. Doing everything at once will burn you out quick. Now, tip #1 - Bump maps Requirements: Photoshop, nVidia texture...

Man, I'm with you. My biggest problem, regarding any facet of this topic, is the exploitation of people who don't know better. I can't even go into detail because blood may begin to spurt out of my eyeballs. Because I've fallen victim of it before, I'll say that PCs that use an apu instead of a...

I was right, you and me are going to get along fine. And you're right, sadly the series has been used to show off xbox and xbox accessories since Microsoft acquired the brand. As such, xbox is prioritized and in all but the two cases get exclusives. Of the two that I can play, I think the first...

A very good question. Fable, Fable: TLC, Fable 2, and Fable 3 are all pretty similar in what kind of game it is. A lot of mechanics change over the series, the engine, the graphics, all that gets some work done. We have a rail shooter too, called Journey, although Lionhead swears it isn't on...
