Ok, this whole blog thing is getting too inbred. Arrive at blog A. Follow link to B. Follow link to C. Then follow a link and find yourself back at A. Too many closed circles. I’m as guilty as anyone of perpetuating this.
So: Link to three people you’ve never linked to before.
I’ll start…
- Gnome’s Lair has an interesting bit about a few Oblivion Mods, and also a post about some of the more large-scale Morrowwind mods.
- My wife has a blog where she posts her various art projects, which includes stuff like photography, metalworking, and painting.
- BasuGasuBakuhatsu has a cool post on favorite %anime music artists, with lots of pretty pictures.
Megatextures
A video discussing Megatexture technology. Why we needed it, what it was supposed to do, and why it maybe didn't totally work.
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 has basically the same plot as Half-Life 2. So why is one a classic and the other simply obnoxious and tiresome?
What is Vulkan?
What is this Vulkan stuff? A graphics engine? A game engine? A new flavor of breakfast cereal? And how is it supposed to make PC games better?
The Opportunity Crunch
No, brutal, soul-sucking, marriage-destroying crunch mode in game development isn't a privilege or an opportunity. It's idiocy.
Trusting the System
How do you know the rules of the game are what the game claims? More importantly, how do the DEVELOPERS know?
Inbreeding, groupthink, colonial living syndrome are ever-present hazards in all sorts of social networks, and blogs are especially vulnerable because the technology allows like to find like as never before. So this is a good meme. I won’t be taking baton only because I try to live by this principle continuously.
Heya Shamus!
