I do not know if I should fear this comming to the big screen. Acording to GamePron, Mass effect movie rights have been acquired by Legendary Pictures who are best known for their co-productions of The Dark Knight, Clash of the Titans, 300, Watchmen and, um, The Hangover, as part of their co-financing agreement with Warner Bros.
Now mass effect has a very good story line, but I wonder how will they succeed putting this into a movie with so many small details. Hope they succeed better than Crash of the Titans !
Not that I want to do Ubisoft a favor by doing some publicity here, but since one of my friend worked on implementing the acrobatics on the xbox 360 version, I just want to congratulate Guillaume Blanchette-Doutre for his contribution to the prince of persia legacy. Guillaume is the one who actually inspired me to return to school to get an engineering degree at École de technologie supérieure 10 years after my computer science degree.
So congratulation for a 79.85% score on gamerankings for your first AAA Guillaume !
John Carmack, through Armadillo Aerospace, will be battling Burt Rutan and Richard Branson to make space travel affordable. From the article: ‘Space Adventures is going to use an Armadillo Technologies rocket to launch amateur astronauts 62 miles into the sky. Nothing new, except that they will do it at half the price of Virgin Galactic’s ticket, and in a real rocket!’ Perhaps I’ll visit space, after all.
I took the time tonight to assemble all the Unity3d tutorials I made so far in one clear section on the top of the site. Let it be known that it is not because I help people out with Unity3d that I ditch my UDK fans, “au contraire”, I still fully support all the tutorial I made so far. There are still known bugs about the state handling in the AI UDK tutorial that I did still did not find why it randomly crashes. Anyhow that tutorial was meant as an educational starting point, not production code.
So hope you like the new section, I will try to add new CSharp snippets here and there. Because my school is taking me some time again, I will maybe post some nice tricks I discovered about general programming and Java.
Over at the reason.com blog, they got a video showing a police SWAT raid that storm what would seem like a totally normal home, shoot the dog. They found a “small amount” of marijuana, enough for a misdemeanor charge. The parents were then charged with child endangerment. Now explain to me how the kid will grow up, when at probably 5-6, the government authority stepped into your house and killed your pet friend for no reasons. The dog could not even had chewed theses guys armor.
blah
This could simply not happen here in Canada, first because even if you got a warrant, it does not give you the right to kill anybodies dog in front of children, at least the police here uses their gun as last resort. United state is a police state !
