  1. I also know of a bunch of short grunt noises I've heard in many crappy games, and most recently some American white trash daytime TV show. Man, someone with a bit more insight should make a "10 most overused samples in media" article.
  2. Hollywood sample library. Another overused sound also found in Starcraft: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf6_hok4-lo&
  3. Except it wasn't much like Doom 2 at all, you only fought a few monsters at a time (if even that), along with loads of redundant scripted scenes and logs forced on you for the sake of the plot, and that damn flashlight. Doom 2 is a much more arcade-like shooter and just feels more accessible to me.
  4. http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/38504/Doom-4-Announced Whether this will be another corridor flashlight-fest remains to be seen.
  5. If you don't find it interesting then I might suggest simply not posting instead of spouting remarks about his join date and post count.
  6. I'm surprised you haven't even looked
  7. Official info from the horse's mouth: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/mortalkombat/news.html?sid=6189513&mode=recent I am cautiously optimistic regarding this new approach to fighting mechanics. I think it could work well with capturing the hectic feel of comic book and movie fights instead of being rooted in the same old Street Fighter perspective.
  8. DiCola's legacy is severly understated. He has directly inspired many big VG composers like Chris Hülsbeck and Frank Klepacki, and probably a whole lot of Japanese ones too.
  9. Unless you're in desperate need of instant money, I would say it's a better idea to keep the account for when you feel like starting again. One part about MMORPG account-selling that bothers me is when they come into the hands of completely new players with a bottomless wallet. A few days ago I met a lvl70 paladin in WoW who asked me where to buy a mount. I feel sorry for whoever he'll end up instancing with.
  10. Can't wait for them to introduce the next batch of Sonic's shitty friends™
  11. Lack of creativity and good ideas is always going to be apparent, no matter what you use.
  12. The fundamental problem, as has been said before, is that games are still generally viewed as toys.
  13. To be fair, there's just as much "prefab" for orchestral music. Heart of Asia flute loops, anyone?
  14. My number one bad experience with this is Starcraft. The hardcore playerbase has, IMO, abused the hotkey/micro mechanics to such a level that it doesn't even feel like an RTS anymore.
  15. Video games made me a contributor to global warming. Also I converted to Islam.
  16. It's no mod, I built the interface myself. I never liked all those pre-made GUIs, they always clutter the screen with tons of shit. Then again, I don't raid.
