I hate Call of Duty and that trailer actually had my nipples hard.

Edit: Provided I can play it with mouse and keyboard. I love the giant laser sight like the AMCAR in Payday 1, ripping off the facemasks to depressurize enemies, and the dude flipping up his shield to spot live targets in zero g so he knew who to not waste bullets on.

The grappling hook and homing grenades were like "Well, it's the future, how would they make war way more awesome and faster?"

Seriously, I've never had any desire to play a CoD or Battlefield game before, but drat if that trailer hasn't made me consider giving this new one a try.

I love that it's COD that's doing this to them, Call of "motion captured dogs" Duty arises from the dead to slay the pretender to the pointless motion capture throne.

SP Weekly UE4 fidelity update! All about dem particle systems. It's all about fidelity you guys.

Another week in the books. The Unreal Engine 4 migration continues to go well. I've been diving deep into UE's particle systems, used to implement lots of different Immersive, Fidelitous sci-fi stuff like explosions of sparks, electrical short-circuits, thruster effects, smoke, smoke trails, bong smoke, force-fields, shield effects, laser beams, blizzards, bits of ice falling off thrusters like those kickass slo-mo Saturn V rocket launch vids, birds, procedural birds, beards, glowing swirly radar sweeps, energy doors made out of driftwood and a garage door spring I found in my dad's shed, procedural apples falling onto procedural Newton heads, tornadoes of fire fueled by millions of excess kickstarter dollar bills, rivers of slag formed by cashing out all those excess kickstarter bills in nickels and melting them down by connecting all the batteries from all your motion-capture cameras in parallel, torrential downpours made of whale tears, character byte arrays of moma-meltdown word-salad, stress-induced projectile diarrhea... You name it, UE4's particle system can do it!!

Hey guys rmember earlier today when we were watching five guys dicking aroung in the stairwell of a starfarer before they all started getting booted from the server and then their ship exploded and then they got a new ship and someone named XXXGRANDMA stole their new ship and everyone quit out of frustration? That was good times...




So how about that Infinite Warfare trailer? Pretty cool if you ask me.

Everything I always see brought up is about financials, ships, jpegs, etc.

Has anybody ever asked a cultist why there is only 1 character model in the entire game? Let alone how many you'd need to be able to do to have a "cast" for the game. Let alone there's still 0 females. When are they going to get around to.... you know, making other people? Was that stretch goal still not funded?

Sandi being HR Director is the funniest thing to me. Not content with the titles she's already appropriated, she feels like she needs to inflate her status with the incredibly glamorous title of Director of... HR. I imagine the people who actually do handle HR at CIG are pretty annoyed with that. HR isn't fun or glamorous work, but it is necessary important work that requires quite a bit of knowledge.

It's one thing to answer to a COO who oversees many aspects of the company, but it must be pretty terrible to report to a person that probably does absolutely nothing and yet takes credit for all the work in your department.

It's so slimy, but it also says something about her psyche.

Also, I really hope CIG has more HR than just her because it's real easy to get on the wrong side of stuff like taxes and labor laws if you don't. Lol, if they don't.

It also could be that she made herself the HR Director so she could put the kaibosh on complaints about management, but she still must think there's some status boost to be gained from it considering she lists it on her LinkedIn.

well, I'm saying they are but I think they're screwing up because all the rules for them interacting don't seem to be different between the two. There is basically ships inside ships or ships running into ships when a player tries to walk inside their ship.

Cymelion has a scintilla of self-awareness. An epiphany. A moment where, against all odds, his petulant, abusive id loses its vice-like grip on his psyche...





A few short hours later, though, the pressure of "reeling back a bit" builds to unbearable levels.

And normality reasserts itself...
