A different blog, but also by BeckoningChasm is this oil painting project. My wife does oil painting whenever she can (which is about once a year since we had kids) and I enjoy seeing a piece of work come together. I hope he sees it though, it looks like a real challenge. Actually, I’m a sucker for any sort of blog that shows a work in progress. I love to see someone apply their skill and make something.
Okay, I’ve linked to Pete before so this isn’t “someone new”, but this is too good to pass up. Made me laugh, it really did.
The Best of 2017
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2017.
Rage 2
The game was a dud, and I'm convinced a big part of that is due to the way the game leaned into its story. Its terrible, cringe-inducing story.
The Dumbest Cutscene
This is it. This is the dumbest cutscene ever created for a AAA game. It's so bad it's simultaneously hilarious and painful. This is "The Room" of video game cutscenes.
Megatextures
A video discussing Megatexture technology. Why we needed it, what it was supposed to do, and why it maybe didn't totally work.
What Does a Robot Want?
No, self-aware robots aren't going to turn on us, Skynet-style. Not unless we designed them to.
Many thanks for the kind words. As for Telephone Girl, I now know why NOT red. It takes forever to dry.
Today, Blogger seems to be in a hatin’ mood, based on how much it’s hatin’ on me.
Time to look elsewhere, methinks.
