Saw the GTAVI artwork today. Looks great! The art style has come a long way since I painted VC cover.

Damn, I miss when these dudes made movies, series, and games that would come out every couple years... Those were good times. Awell, glad they're keeping on I guess. Bleak times...

@Wario64 In 2019, I paid extra for the steelbook when Control came out. The game looked and ran AWFUL! Then, they released it for PS5, the console it should've come out on. The free upgrade only applied to certain digital versions. I had to pay all over again. I'm going to wait this time.

Happy to announce I'm a developer on Toy Story 3 remaster team. Really proud of the work and collaboration that Digital Eclipse has done to make this happen alongside the collection. I can't wait for everyone to play this amazing game on October 15 on consoles and PC!

This is essentially how I left EA. When we finished development on the first Alice game, I went traveling. While on vacation in India I got the news that EA had laid off my creative partner, RJ Berg. And that they'd pulled the console development contract from Alice developer, Rogue Entertainment (which killed the studio). I was asked to come back so that I could begin my next phase of existence at EA - being put into some sort of VP training program. Onward and upward! It was "We're firing all your buddies and promoting you." So I quit. Left San Francisco entirely. Just said, "I'm done." Many (MANY) of my friends at EA at that time called me to tell me I was "insane" "crazy" and demand I explain wtf I was doing. For a lot of them, explaining that I felt moving up the ladder on the backs of my fired friends was unacceptable, just made no sense. "That's how the game works." "Stick around and you'll be rewarded." Well, the reward is that I am sitting here 25 years later not feeling like a jerk for taking the wrong path.

My personal experience with AI is that most of the gen AI companies have offered me buckets of money (house money!) to publicly endorse their tools and claim they are central to my creativity (have turned them all down). What's interesting is that there are SO many people who are hyped about these tools who should be getting the bag instead of me. So all I can gather is that these companies are throwing money around to control the story about who their tools are for. Seems like they'll pay anything to have non-AI folks endorse the AI tools.

I feel terrible for all the Blue Origin people (and relieved no one was hurt) but no lie, this is one of the greatest explosions I've ever seen. VFX departments are study and imitate it for years to come. Michael Bay is somewhere saying "Damn, not bad."

Good chance to reaffirm my belief that reducing a human being and their worth to the sum of their chemical and biological functionality is, and always has been, an evil worldview that rots everything it touches.

@StarfieldGame I didn't think Starfield could get any worse... Then you started to make these terrible short videos lol. They genuinely make me hate parts of the game I actually enjoy playing. Lame insulting herpyderpy waste. Worst part of this game & advertising imo.👎

Todd McFarlane’s Spawn is an animated series for 1990s television. Premiering in 1997 on HBO and based on the comic created by Todd McFarlane, the series brought the Spawn universe into a much darker, more violent, and psychological territory than any superhero adaptation of its time. With a gothic aesthetic, expressionist animation, and a mature narrative filled with urban horror, corruption, and supernatural conflicts, the series followed Al Simmons, a former government assassin who returns from hell transformed into Spawn. Unlike other animated productions of the era, HBO allowed the show to retain the brutal and disturbing tone of the original comic, including explicit violence, adult language, and existential themes. The series ran for three seasons between 1997 and 1999 and won two Emmy Awards. Decades later, Spawn is still regarded as one of the most influential and darkest animated adaptations ever made within the superhero genre.

interesting development where i am playing LA Noire not for the gameplay, but to walk around its slavishly recreated 1947 Los Angeles harvesting building references
