The Strange Evolution of OpenGL
Sometimes software is engineered. Sometimes it grows organically. And sometimes it's thrown together seemingly at random over two decades.
Spider-Man
A game I love. It has a solid main story and a couple of really obnoxious, cringy, incoherent side-plots in it. What happened here?
Video Compression Gone Wrong
How does image compression work, and why does it create those ugly spots all over some videos and not others?
Pixel City Dev Blog
An attempt to make a good looking cityscape with nothing but simple tricks and a few rectangles of light.
The Gradient of Plot Holes
Most stories have plot holes. The failure isn't that they exist, it's when you notice them while immersed in the story.

It’s ALL good, Shamus!
Next, Mario will no doubt become a regular on The Love Boat. Can’t wait for the lolz when the love quadrangle forms between Mario, Julie, Doc, and Charo.
I didn’t think you’d actually do it. I’m glad that you did.
Was this a Mario model someone made for Gary’s Mod?
Groboclown: I think this is a model a fan pulled out of another game (Sunshine, probably) and dropped into GMod.
Poor Mario, no one knows the real him. :)
Wow…it’s incredibly apparent how off Mario’s body ratio is when you put him next to an accurately modeled human figure.
Definitely on mushrooms I think.
Comedy gold! Thanks :D
(Edit) Or should I say Golden Mushroom?
…
Aah, I got nothing.
I choked on my cereal when I got to the cheering Metro. Thanks for the lulz :D I loved it.

So, I pre-ordered Mario Galaxy from Gamestop back when it was coming out. If you’ve never pre-ordered from them before, you’ll get a call a day or so in advance of the release to tell you when you can come pick up your game.
Except for this game, I got the announcement in Mario’s voice. “It’s a-me, Mario!” I thought it was cute for the first minute or two. But this thing went on and ON for almost five minutes. It was insufferable. I don’t know if I’ve heard so much dialogue from Mario since his abominable cartoons from my childhood.

Cartoon
Ever.
And I’m including in that “ever” the cartoon that brought down the NAZIs…
read it and laughed. thanks because moviebob screwed the pooch today.
Aw, this comic makes me feel incredibly sad for Mario. A tortured soul, forced to live his own character’s life 24 hours a day. And if he ever tries to hold an intelligent conversation with anybody, it always degenerates into “Do the Mario thing!” What a sad, lonely existence.
It was still funny to think of Mario as a thespian, though.
Wow, that was a fun one.
