| GDNet at the Movies: District 9 is NOT an Apartheid Allegory. It is much less. | In the days leading up to the release of Neill Blomkamp's directorial debut, I became aware of a recurring piece of lazy analysis. Blomkamp, you see, is South African, and District 9 is set in Johannesburg and features an alien race segregated from t... |

| GDNet at the Movies: Transformers: Meh | Summer of 2008, it ain't. The summer of 2008 was spectacular, as far as its blockbusters were concerned. Starting with Iron Man, it was a continuous string of thoroughly enjoyable films all the way up to Tropic Thunder. (Well, except for Wanted. W... |

| BODIES | My employer, Firstborn, organized a company trip to the BODIES exhibition at the South Street Seaport in NYC. I'd been before, about two years ago, so I knew what to expect and came with sketchbook and drawing materials in hand. Or, well, I *thoug... |

| GDNet at the Movies: Live Long and Prosper! | When I first heard that a new Star Trek movie was being made, I really had no opinion. I never was a big fan of Star Trek: I thought The Next Generation was the best overall iteration, but I never got into it. Recent movies (Nemesis) had bombed a... |

| GDNet at the Movies: So, just how bad was Watchmen? | I have no problem with spoilers. Some people really get agitated about spoilers, throwing little hissy fits and saying ridiculous things like, "Gee, asshole, thanks for ruining it for me!" I can really only name two films that would be lesse... |

| GDNet at the Movies: Taken | I'll come right out and say it: I loved Taken. I was in a mood for a compact, violent film, and it delivered in spades. The pacing was perfect - and it wasn't a headlong rush into action, either. Characters and relationships are well established... |

| GDNet at the Movies: Sita Sings the Blues | Sita Sings the Blues is an impressive independent, animated feature that draws inspiration from the Ramayana as well as the life of its creator, Nina Paley. Ms. Paley, now an instructor at the School of Visual Arts in New York, was living in an a... |

| Console Hardware Tiers? | A couple of my co-workers are avid gamers, both on PC and on consoles. Yesterday they were having an interesting discussion and came up with a suggestion that I instinctively disagreed with, but decided to put to the larger game development... |

| My sketchbook is a conversation... | In my journey and struggle to become a better artist - illustrator and animator, and perhaps some day painter - I have transitioned from drawing "comic book" hyperboles to drawing the everyday. The comic book characters are easy, in a sense; they're... |

| Mac OS X Leopard: Python Launcher problems | I've installed both the ActiveState and Python.org distributions since purchasing my Mac, but only the Python.org distribution was set up so as it work with PyGame, for instance. (I haven't gotten to the bottom of why.) Much more troubling is th... |

| Contacting the Gamedev staff | Well, who did you try to contact? Did you reach out to anyone on the Operations Team on this page, aside from Superpig? |

| Would you release bad code? | Release it. You're reluctant to release it because you feel you'll be embarrassed by how "bad" the code is - because, you know, less-than-genius code is not becoming of someone of your stature. Just last week someone in #gamedev pointed us to thi... |

| Windows vs. Ubuntu | Quote:Original post by swiftcoder I find Visual Studio's attempts to pack everything into the same window appalling: I have a 1920x1080 monitor, for Pete's sake - why would I want to squeeze the debugger into a tab? It's not a tab. It's a docked wi... |

| Windows vs. Ubuntu | Quote:Original post by swiftcoder With the Mac, I pretty much get the best of both worlds: a very pleasant user experience and IDE... I like the Mac user experience, but Xcode is an awful IDE in many, many measurable ways. Its debugger is mediocre;... |

| Is there such a job...? | Yes, there is such a job, but it requires one thing you don't have: Money. The only way you get to be the person who just puts ideas on a whiteboard is if you're paying everyone else's salaries. Otherwise, no. Everyone has ideas,... |

| Just curious, were does the D programming language stand right now? | It hasn't caught on because it doesn't solve enough problems and has poor tool support. D addresses the implementation flaws of the last generation of programming languages - it's basically a better C++. While it claims the programmer productivi... |

| I just got lasik eye surgery | Quote:Original post by bzroom I still have some haze and blurryness but i have a protective contact in and all kinds of drops every 30 minutes. But from what i can tell i'm good to go. Is that permanent? If so, it's totally not worth it. |
