peter gabriel posted:I've long been on the inside for games journalism, I don't mention it because honestly it's not that interesting, but to give you all an idea of how it works from the inside all these things are normal and I have seen them multiple times: I wonder if this is most 'journalism' these days.

Mendrian posted:I think what makes me really question Chris is that he never seems to understand what is actually happening with the game engine. He only ever talks about high-level conceptual stuff - what the end result is going to look and feel like, as opposed to what is actually happening. Now a lot of that is modern game development (hurr hurr) that relies on middleware and other peoples' engines, but still; I never hear, "Well this is what's happening with the code here, this is why you see this"; it's always, "this will be better" or "you'll be able to do X". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWq8ynUq7wM

Evil_Greven posted:Depressing. I wasn't in Games journalism, but it's not too different in other branches. Once you realize that a) no one gives a gently caress and b) you don't get paid extra for serious research, apathy and a fondness for the free buffet sets in.

You're also more likely to get in poo poo for doing real work. Raiding the craft services is the safest job move for a games journalist.

Best case scenario is that it's being used as a direction, which would make the sentence mean “towards the big [goes] the bad wolf”. Most of all it's an error nobody with any knowledge of Latin would ever make. He probably got confused by magnum opus. To sum it up: A 40ish guy wearing a fedora, naming himself Wulf Knight (this isn't his birth name, I presume?), sends unsolicited dick pics as a service to the ladyfolk. He uses butchered Latin to sound cool and a signature that he probably scribbled with his tongue sticking out. This is so retarded, i.e. something an 13-year-old would do. How did he make money? Can only be IT ... Edit: In the verse I'd be Hot Doge,Duke of Marma. Einbauschrank fucked around with this message at 10:42 on Aug 24, 2016 |
