mark cuban is incapable of understanding the difference because like many people with a ton of money he's come to think of paying someone else to do something as the same as himself doing it, in which the only way it ever turns out well is because they care about details and process he is unaware of

So in my book Violent Triangles I take game artists back to fundamentals of game art so you understand what is going on under the hood of your game engine and the tricks to exploit it, all presented in clear visual diagrams.
Stuff like rasterisation, anti-aliasing, overdraw, texture memory etc.

This has quickly become one of my regular podcasts to listen to. Really fun conversations and stories with a wide variety of folks.
Thanksgiving special podcast episode! This week, I responded to an email asking about my work on the Madagascar PS2 game in 2005, for which I made about 80% of the cutscenes!

It's been awhile since I last checked, but somebody has finally claimed my old twitter handle after I deleted my account.
At least it doesn't appear that they're trying to impersonate me, yet.

It is unfortunately fitting that this administration's response to "why does air travel suck so much" is "You deserved it because of what you were wearing."
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.
Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

I was initially talking about Anno, but CoD:Blops 7 coming in with a perfect example.
There's not a single game dev at Treyarch or Raven Software who had this as their creative vision.
This is all exec pushed slop.

When I read this garbage on a Steam page, I assume the "creative vision" is exec bonuses hatred towards the folks that actually build the game.

Your periodic reminder that I’m available for hire for camera operator, audio engineer, and gaffer work anywhere in the PNW
Working on my color grading knowledge/tricks with some footage I took at Saltwater State Park a couple weeks ago. Frame from the original footage in the replies for comparison but I'm pretty proud of how this turned out. Couple of minor nits to pick, but a hell of a long way from a year ago

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.
