You see what's the problem with memes in general? They start funny, most are not really so funny but they are KIND OF funny, then people start repeating them ad nauseam until they repulse me.

yeah, I know, I was just screwing around :sorcerer: I agree with you, the cube and the "cake is a lie" grew way out of proportion, I knew about it long before I played Portal for the first time

Leave the Companion Cube out of this, it's not a meme and never has been.

And no one cared about the trailer.

 

Wtf... It was so pretty...

I don't really like the look of the characters, but I'm sure it'll be fun(and exponentially more disorienting).

 

The fat one looks kind of like a Modron...

Gyah, that close up on his face is disconcerting.

Why does a meme have to be funny to be relevant? It's culture. Do Christmas trees have to make you laugh? What about presents being wrapped with ribbons? Is the only valid culture the culture you grew up with?

 

While "the cake is a lie" is a phrase that struggles to find relevance, objects such as the companion cube can be simple icons.

Valve's not gonna sell their Source Engine as long as they don't update their ****ty Hammer Editor for 21th century standards.

Rain makes everything better.

A whole bunch of developers are still using command line-based editors AFAIK.

 

They are probably in-house engines, though.

Who are these people?

Work with the UnrealEd and then try Hammer - there are world inbetween.

 

Not saying that Hammer is bad per se, but Unreal is more flexible and has the better art pipeline. With Source, you still have to create script files to use basic shader information. With UnrealEd, you can create materials/Shaders on-the-fly with a great UI.

 

But hey, the end result really matters.

Talking about licensed engines I have yet to see a game done with CryEngine with the exceptions of Crysis and Aion. A pity (well, at least from my point of view, I don't know whether it's a pain to work with or not) since actually it seems pretty damn scalable.

Good question. CryEngine should be more used outside of Crytek. Maybe devs are just afraid of ze Germans.

Rain makes everything better.

I think the devs should have demonstrated its ability to do more than just palm trees and water. Then it might have caught someone's attention.

 

Man, I'm feeling obnoxious today. Ignore me.

Well, Telltale for one.

That sneaky Telltale Tool, eh? I always knew there was something up with that.

 

Ever since that Telltale employee made me this avatar. I could just smell the command lines on it.
