They had me at "devil himself."

Are cineva idee cat a durat dezvoltarea, in realitate? Documentu' scrie 1994 in subsol iar Diablo a fost scos pe 31 dec 1996 (america, 2 noiembrie 1997 europa). Multiplicarea si distributia nu cred ca a durat mai mult de 3 luni, cat as presupune ca au durat si negocierile initiale si prototiparea - poate mai mult, considerand ca in late spring 1995 inca se mai certau pe detalii. Conform planului dezvoltarea (inclusiv testarea) s-ar fi facut din toamna 1995 pana-n toamna 1996 - sau, mai probabil - din vara 1995 pana-n vara 1996.

Ce m-ar mai interesa e nr de angajati Blizzard North in acea perioada (probabil intre 7o si 3oo, n-am gasit mentiuni pe net... decat ca au avut 1o key people)

Meh, intre 13o si 16o (unele nume se mai repeta, n-o sa numar din nou) fara cei de la Thanks To

Surprinzator de putini programatorii si artistii (16+26=42, 16+21=37 pt Diablo II), surprinzatori de multi cei care au facut fmvurile (15, cam 5o pentru Diablo II). Cam 5 la audio (8 la Diablo II) cu 11 actori (Glenn Stafford merita premiu special, cred... in orice caz, 40 pt Diablo II), 9 au facut manualul, cam 2o testeri (3o pt Diablo II). N-am mai stat sa numar, dar ochiometric Diablo II cumula intre 18o si 25o suflete.

As fi facut cu drag un scraper sa vedem statistici pt multe jocuri (inclusiv x ani x bugete x succes x scor metacritic) dar cum domeniile de activitate nu sunt standardizate (vezi de ex Diablo I nu avea nici scriptwriterii nici level designerii trecuti ca atare, presupun ca astea intrau la "design")... ori cineva ar trebui sa stea cu fisieru de extrase si sa-mi echivaleze categoriile (sau sa precizeze supercategorii gen "testeri+QA") ori nu stiu.

Lol la faza cu bata aruncata in arc. Faza cu jump/stabby-stab il face un fel de Dishonored paleolitic. Bufnita aia e imensa, nu zic ca nu existau specimene de genul asta la timpul respectiv dar cand am vazut ca da peste cineva cu ea m-a amuzat in ce hal de mare e, parea aproape ca un bug sau cheat in care te pomenesti cu un model supradimensionat.

Chiar azi ma gandeam la un retro-review pentru Quake. Din fericire, nu mai e nevoie.

Nu te opreste nimeni sa-ti oferi propria perspectiva. Ahoy are material foarte fain, dar nici tu nu esti de lepadat. Ce ar spune Carmack despre tine daca ai renunta atat de usor? Da-i bice!

A Naïf In Neverwinter Nights: Exploring Roleplay In An Erotic Fantasy Server

Joren Arrenen: Hello, excuse me, I’m very sorry to interrupt but I…err…seem to be a bit lost.
Darius: *He looks to Joren.* Hey there. What are you looking for?
Nashe: whatcha lookin for hun?
Joren Arrenen: That’s the thing, I’m not very sure. I seem to have wound up in this place…Sinthara is it?

Staring at that sentence I just wrote makes me want to commit harakiri. I imagine my father walking in the room and seeing this. A single tear breaks down his cheek as he presses the pillow harder into my face.

I have no idea how I’m supposed to talk or act. Do I just speak normally? Do I have to invent some mannerisms for Joren to use? I’m an alien in a sitcom about infiltrating human society for which I have no understanding, only no one is laughing.

Sinthara might not exist, but the feeling I have wandering its empty streets is no less poignant than the nights when those streets were real. It’s a kind of restless, selfish hope that maybe if I walk long enough, I’ll stumble into someone who will be glad to see me.

Oh man, si eu m-as comporta fix la fel

Manchester United enter bidding war with Fnatic as they look to sign their first eSports team

Manchester United Football Club are in talks with a competitive gaming team as they look to enter the eSports industry.

The historic English Premier League football club are in talks with a professional European Overwatch team who are currently signed to another organisation, eSports News UK can exclusively reveal.

On top of that, established eSports brand Fnatic are also interested in signing the same team, putting a British sports club head-to-head with a competitive gaming organisation in this manner for the first time.

While no deal has yet been made, Fnatic have already made an offer to the team, prompting Manchester United to renegotiate with a counter-offer.

Now this is something I did not expect to see.

GDC - Josh Sawyer - Pillars of Eternity and Proper Attribute Tuning

Foarte interesant. Mai ales pentru că trece în revistă evoluția rulesetului D&D și răspunde principalelor critici aduse rulesetului PoE. Pe mine unul m-a convins, deși parcă și acum mă gâdilă dejtele să mai încerc ceva build godlike în BG2.

And now, for your daily dose of rage and faceplam, PC gaming is still way too hard.

E incredibil cum un site care pretinde ca scrie despre hardware, care apartine unui brand care pretinde ca face jurnalism poate sa scoata asa ceva.
