The wingless

shit soup! I was WAITING for my EDITORS to FIX my fucking TYPOS and now I gotta deal with this shit! MY PLANS! well I guess... standby later for a much typo-freer version and an official announcment in this thread or... something. Fuck!

Oh my god, I love you. My mom is a huge Zork fan, from the text adventures through Nemesis and Inquisitor. At a certain point, she and I would run around the house pointing at each other going, "Who is the boss of you? ME! I AM THE BOSS OF YOU!!" speaking of Nemesis- "Speak up Sartorius... I. Can't. Hear. You."

"!! Metal Gear" -Solid Snake, any metal gear "I tell you what Snake, when you get back, you can strip search me" -Naomi, Metal Gear Solid "Kept you waiting, huh?" -Solid Snake, MGS2 . . . I just got the Essential Collection today. Now all I need is a ps1 memory card

"So I locked on a heat seeker on him and BOOM! Turned him into kitty litter!" -Maniac, Wing Commander III "I knew as I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned..." -Atrus, Myst "Gimmie dem duckets!!" -CJ, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas "MORGAN KATARN!!!" -Jerec, Jedi Knight "Serve the Emperor above all others" -Secret order of the Emperor, Tie Fighter "I know not what fires burn in his mind, but they smoke of madness to me" ????, Betrayal at Krondor

Damn you Pretzel. DAMN YOU TO AN IRISH HELL! I want the WORLD to know how much money I spent Overclocked Remix! My self-worth is only as good as my dollar value!!!!

Yes... I guess all those UI artists I hear about in the game industry are just old-wives tales meant to frighten children away from Flash. To Radical Dreamer: You'd be surprised. There's always a need for excellent writers in the industry, since it's come to a point now where, in order to stay competitive, you need a narrative beyond "Space marines get pissed". The goal, however, is to write gamey, and not like any other medium. Writing for games is as genre-specific as writing for stage or radio. To Seph: Mod making is a very good way to break in, but there's a huge catch: your mod has be conceptually brilliant to the point where Industry paragons turn their heads (Portal's precursor, Team Fortress, Line Rider, Tower Defense), or it has to have quality that is on-par with the Industry (Red Orchestra). Here's the skinny, boys and girls. The Industry, much like the movies, has a dizzying array of disciplines at work at any given time. Some of these jobs rather self-explanatory about how to break into the industry. Want to program? Learn programming. Want to animate? Start rigging. Want to do concept art? Learn how to paint. Etc. etc. But it seems most people are only concerned with one thing: being the guy at the tippy-top who makes the command decisions. And here's where things break down, because there is *no* Industry standard way to wear the mantle of Game Designer... hell, if you brought 10 designers in and asked them how they got to where they are, you'd get 10 radically different stories. Which, believe it or not, is your godsend. Your first major obstacle is to get your foot in the door. After that, it's purely a matter of making sure the people at the top A.) know you're interested B.) know you're talented C.) know you won't make a shit game and D.) know you. D is probably the most important. This Industry is roughly akin to the Mafia or Hollywood. Favors for favors. You screw up, you'll never work in this town again, and you will wear cement shoes, cat-fish? But, first things first, get inside the building with a title other than Game Designer, and you'll have a much better shot of ascending the throne like King Conan of old ...Ah... but that is another story!

I'm reminded of the scene from Aliens where Ripley tells the CO she feels like a third wheel and asks if there's anything she can do to help. The CO replies, "I don't know, what can you do?" So... what can you do?

I need to update my bio :/ Games I've worked on! Ballers Phenom Stranglehold Unreal Tournament III Blacksite: Area 51 TNA Wrestling Ballers: Chosen One This is Vegas Saboteur

Hey, I worked on Vegas too. Oh, what a misogynistic world we live in

Midway Games 2005-2007 Pandemic Studios 2007-present

Put him in a paper-bag Johnny! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah!

In an effort to keep the inexplicable drama going Zircon, when you hosted VGDJ, I could hear your fucking Sasquatchian arms rubbing together and it sounded like velcro, you goddamn Yeti! You Harry and the Hendersons! SHAVE YO' GODDAMN ARMS!

But don't let Larry Oji touch it! That man is radio bukakke!

barring the rather ludicrous idea that somebody has ownership *rights* to VGDJ, are you aware of the rather alarming amount of work that goes into making a single episode? Sometimes me and pixie stayed up until bullshit o'clock to make a single episode, and that was with the wherewithall of *two* people. Just... think carefully about the scope of what you're asking. It might need to be retooled for a single-man outing.

Wow, and here I thought Blackperson was as good as it could get. nicely done

Got my CD in the mail, with either the most hastily written personal message or the most anxiety-stricken. To the point where it needed TWO DRAFTS Oh pixie, how can an interracial love so wrong make me feel SO RIGHT?

Pretzel fucking calling me out on the internet! Just for that, it's a piano Schala's theme with voice samples from "Pootie Tang" ...Sa da tay!

...Man, sure had alot of freetime and lust for tiny white women back in the day. :/ Anyways, the second to the last one was for you to write whatever you want, and the last is for sigs! HUZZAH! PHOTOSHOP!

MEME-TASTIC!! (4 image limit!)

Finally, somebody who knows how to talk to The Talent!

I'm still waiting to be put on the Gold Patron list on the side of the OCremix building.

soon as I get home, I'll stuff your face with more pixie polaroids than you can shake

But I made like 6!!! THAT"S A ONE-MAN MEME!

Here's what I don't get 1.) Why you converted my lovely png to a shit jpg 2.)...Why you would hold on to that meme like centuries after it's run its course. Seriously, that shit is like circa 2006. :/

Uh oh! HOUSE MEETIN' Y'ALL!
