Yes! Let's grab our pitchforks and protest against these infernal cardboard cards! >:D Anyway, I like that one of the cards in the picture is fan-made.

So you're just lucky...now the question becomes; how do you do it? 'cause I wouldn't mind a little bit of luck like that.

Well, I like to be remembered for my life, not my death, so I'd like it to be a happy burial. Maybe throw a big barbecue, 'cause I like that. Just be careful you're keeping the meat on the right fire (or else you'd really carry a little bit of me within you).

It took you 3414 posts to create your first own topic? Well, it looks like you waited for something interesting, so I'll gladly help you out. 1. Age: 24 2. Gender: M 3. Do you like cooking? Why (not)? Oh yes, I blame my asian roots for this :) 4. You prefer to cook: b...

I have a moleskine sketchbook and a mechanical pencil with me at almost any time, and I have practiced drawing flattering portraits in less than five minutes. It's a great way to impress someone when travelling. (It's also quite perplexing that people don't notice someone essentially staring...

Urban Fantasy, I think they call it. Anyway, Harper Collins put it up on their website here [http://www.harpercollins.com/browseinside/index.aspx?isbn13=9780060558123&WT.mc_id=author_AmerGods_FullAccess_022208], so give it a small read, then decide on buying the real thing :)

Sounds like Miyamoto alright. He's a product designer, and as such, he makes games that are to be played by people, and he wants to give them as good an experience as he can. and he's not in it to make something to say something about society, about innovation, or about artistic statements...

Exactly...like is this a(n incredibly hard to pull off convincingly, for me at least) Genuine George Clooney Smile(tm), or a(n unsettlingly easy to pull off) pedosmile? It might make a difference.

Well, you can't know everything from the start, and to me, it feels the same as discovering something on the radio, or through a friend. So thumbs up if you knew the Rolling stones before you had a radio (or friends)! In an interesting turn of things, it was only when I listened to the...

As we talk, the pear is judging us in silence... Are you finding some answers and arguments you like in this thread?

Haha, yes, if only good poop would make you money... but you get the point do you? Spending more time on something does not mean you have more technical ability. The intent itself is not a technical thing, it's an artistic thing. But being able to convey it is. A very simple example: you want...

Do you know how many times students ask that question (or rather; accuse you of grading one painting higher than another -theirs, usually- just because you 'like it more')? There's another good way of judging fairly objectively, and that is by judging it from it's creator's intention. What did...

I would've said The Lord of the Rings: the Two Hours on the Gamecube, but the prize goes to 1080 Avalanche, which took only half that time, and I'm not counting Dead or Alive 2's Story Mode.

Thank you for saving me the time to type that. As far as I'm concerned, a character, or anything in a videogame is done right if it gives the player the experience the designers want it to. Alyx from Half-Life was meant to be a strong female companion, and she was. The females from pornographic...

Well, there are games which only let you install them on x machines, right? And there's the condition of the disc (or even more fun, the cartridge). So I wouldn't say it's completely mint in each case. The reverse is true for furniture, usually they're still in pretty good shape, or they...
