PSA: Second Halo Legends episode free, available today only

Nov 22nd 2009 3:32AM (Joystiq)
Warner Bros. animation studio isn't Japanese.

However the one thing that did nag me about this short was the fact that they had Appleseed quality 3D animation behind a huge watercolour filter. Appleseed is very old nowadays, and the animation, without nostalgia-goggles, isn't very high quality. Thus when it is used in a new short, it feels really dated. There were plenty of scenes where the characters don't move at all (excluding the ones where it was done for effect) and others that just looked strange.
Plus, they apparently even made two different facial models for the elites, one accurate and one innaccurate, just because the innaccurate one was easier to animate, apparently.

However, I did enjoy the short. It just could have been a lot better.

Wales produces exceptionally graphic, educational film about the dangers of texting while driving

I thought this was going to be an ad, and was suprised that, since I live in Wales, that I hadn't seen it.

I think I can see why it's not on daytime TV now.

Welsh speakers wanted for game translation project

I feel somewhat special from being able to understand that.

Well for starters, I live in Wales, and I can easily tell you...



...that yes, next to no-one speaks Welsh. Albeit in the north it is a lot more prominent, but again, those areas are typically quite rural.
It's very rare that I ever hear someone talking welsh. And I do in fact have a whopping C-grade GCSE in it. I can confirm that it's a gobbledegook language, but I'm english, of course I'd say that.

Basically, don't give that guy a hard time. It does NOT make sense to make the game in welsh, since the potential users of it are vastly lower than the cost of the game.
Think about if Modern Warfare 2 was only available in Chinese. Similar concept.

Deep Silver planning a Prison Break

To be honest, I can't even tell if it's been modified to look like that.
Made me laugh though.

Meet the L33t parents and bow before them

Aug 12th 2009 11:12AM (Joystiq)
I was walking down the street yesterday to see a rough-as-nails, skinhead with a tank top on screaming "EL OH EL" into his phone repeatedly.

I honestly don't know what to think of it.

DarkWayne, I upvoted you sheerly for the reason I'm impressed at your knowledge. Sheesh!

Left 4 Dead 'Crash Course' campaign DLC free on PC, $7 on 360 - this September

And I ask, how exactly would you use Hammer on a xbox 360?

And the pricing is pretty much determined by Microsoft, don't blame Valve.

Halo Legends preview on GTTV tonight

...it's a reactionimage. There isn't much TO get with it. It's just what the OP is feeling as he read the post.
