The  job title, "Game Designer" is a very relative term, as I have seen from looking across the internets. Here is my circumstance..... I am in Accelerated Programs at my highschool(College courses in highschool, AP testing and the rest) and I am an A student(my gpa is 4.3). I am looking for a school to master in game design and I need help looking for the best school in the Dallas/Fortworth Metroplex region for that purpose. I dont even know everything that game design entails. Im not the ...

Most of you probably heard of google bombing, which e.g. led to the search query "dismal failure" listing the profile page of George W. Bush as top result. You probably also know the "Related Videos" feature of YouTube, which usually shows a selection of videos to watch which have something in common to the video you're currently watching. Well, while watching an old SNL clip featuring a parody on Palin/Clinton, i noticed this:   Seems a bit .... unrelated to me (unless you...

What is the best way to have a civil online community? There are lots of opinions on this.  My position has always been to eliminate toxic users as quickly as possible. Ban them. Debating a topic: Good. Personalizing the debate: Getting onto thin ice.  Attacking people in the debate: Over the line. Over on Neowin.net, we’ve been trying to find ways to clean up the forums. News comments and forum posts there are pretty rough and much of that is, I bel...

So this network still pronounces its name sci-fi even though they felt a need to change the spelling to gibberish that reads "siffy." ECW remains on their lineup, along with a stupid 'reality' series that seems to be spawning spinoffs, so maybe they really shouldn't call themselves SciFi any more, but still... How can folks who've milked the Stargate franchise to the max and gleefully ridden the success wave of Moore and Eick's Battlestar Galactica not consider it their fiduciary and aestheti...

NO ONE out-trolls me! One of the things that I really enjoy doing is posting Stardock’s dirty laundry. This is the kind of thing that only a private company can really do. I don’t really look at it as “bashing” Stardock when I post critics and admissions to the imperfections of our products. Rather, I look at it as a type of transparency. It lets people know that we see a problem and are aware of it. Of course, the downside is that you occasionally get haters who see our admission...

since the other thread is breaking a lot time to start a new thread to keep going.     i will start by banning everyone who bans here lol

At last, a television show that gets me excited.  Check out this vid for Slingers: Slingers It hasn't been picked up yet but I bet it will soon! It has a great "Cowboy Bebop" style to it and is refreshingly original (well...except for the CB vibe, but hey, if TV wants to rip that show off, more power to 'em!). Here's hoping that the series is as good as this demo reel suggests!

Me, myself and I - 3 egos (at least 2) has to come together as one, at least in public enviroments.   the result, the devil within , sad but true they say that the road to Hell is bordered with good intentions but I do appreciate that there are good/nice people on this planet ! I will come up with something good soon, I know, I just have to. a positive attitude should help...but we'll see...I've been wrong before, at least 2 or 3 time...

(Before discussing anything, please keep your post within forum guidelines so this thread doesn't get locked) In my opinion, American culture and society involving technology, games, and the other media is seriously screwed up. Look at all the stuff about it. These days, its perfectly acceptable to show someone getting mutilated and a building being destroyed with untold numbers of innocent people dying, but when a boob is shown, or a sex scene, people heads freaking explode. I mean, why? ...

Okay, my first game (You're Banned!) caused an explosion of games, but here's my second one. You have to say Don't you hate it when... and complete the sentence (EX: Don't you hate when teachers give a lot of homework?). It can be serious or funny Now, here's the fun part. Before you create your own Don't you hate it question, you have to answer yes or no to the person above you's question, and give a funny, stupid, or crazy answer. Here's mine: Don't you hate when when you...

If you are from the DG community and picked up or are planning on picking up borderlands on PC AND would like to play some co-op, send me a PM or add yourself to this thread.  I picked the game up today.  So far, me and trouser will be playing but adding a couple more people sounds great.  I'm planning on starting to play tonight (10/27).  I'll still be playing DG, but think this game will be some fun.

I recently got World In Conflict Soviet Assault, which is supposed to include the full World in Conflict game. However, it doesn't have an option let me play the American campaign, which is supposed to be much better than the Soviet one. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated. Also, can you play single player skirmishes? The game doesn't even have an option for that either.

Hi all, I've been having problem with heat issues with my computer when I run graphics intensive games such as Crysis. I clean the sysem interior of dust regularly, but it doesn't seem to help. I've noticed that the component that heats up the most is the graphics card, so I think that is the culprit (Maybe dust has collected on the inside fan areas of the card. What appears to be the problem is that the graphics card is heating itself up so much that the computer shuts itself off to preve...

Developers, I'd appreciate it if Impulse saved my birthday so that I didn't have to enter it every time I want to drool over Dragon Age: Origins.
