Only the last 2; although RPG3DM2 might possibly be worth checking out.

pjw: That's ok; I don't remember them either.

Phait Didn't Tell Us About That !

... I was talking about the result of the contest ;P

Hrm

Well, one of the commentors had a very good point - there was too much going on. I hadn't even realised it I was too absorbed ind doing something COOOOL. There were some stronger concepts out there, but I totally disagree with the (lack of) concept with the winning entry and some other top finishers.

At least you are in the "top ten", which is not bad at all, IMHO...

I Disagree

the winning contributor produced the only entry in the top 10 which was handpainted (digitally) pretty well unlike many others, which used Photoshop effects on existing concept art and preview screenshots. He clearly put a bit of time in.

The prizes weren't very high quality though! 1st prize wasn't bad i guess, but who wants a bloody Quake 4 t-shirt (2nd prize), or worse, 3 months subscription to something no one really wants (3rd prize), Gamespy Founders Club. It seems to give you Fileplanet, Gamepsy Arcade and some crappy Insider exclusive content bollocks.

That 3rd prize seems more like an insult.

GG Phait.

Well done for placing in the top ten. I do agree that there's too much going on, but equally I think the screenshots on the monitors look really cool - those with a simpler overall image could have done very well IMHO.

Google AdSense

#8798 posted by Jago on 2005/09/12 16:10:54

Is anyone here experienced with Google AdSense? I am having problems making it display ads that are actually relevant to my site. I have a blog at http://dnaumov.blogspot.com/ and have had AdSense code in my pages for over a month now, so I'm guessing that it has been recrawled by the bots at least once or twice now. Yet, the only ads I see being displayed are related to blogging. Not a single ad related to games, marketing, level design or whatever at all. What am I doing wrong?

REAL Quake 4 t-shirt!

as opposed to a fake one? o.0

#8800 posted by - on 2005/09/12 18:57:31

necros: yes, which can easily be made.

I'm proud to have a REAL Quake 4 t-shirt myself :) also glad I can wear it to work without looking like a dweeb :)

likely it's due to being hosted on blogspace, and that's taking precedence in the googlebot's mind.

Well I just took a look at some other blogs hosted on the same site and their Google ads are working fine. For example http://dsweeper.blogspot.com/ shows bible and religion-related ads.

Wow, awesome blog, beats the hell out of Jago's "Let's all be salesmen" stuff. (Sorry Jago.) Interesting subject matter I must say, but only because I'm addicted to being a physicist-wannabe.

You make me cry inside.

Physicist-wannabe?

#8806 posted by inertia on 2005/09/13 13:21:43

more like aeronautical engineer wannabee

or just a layman interested in spaceflight!

The iPod looks clean because its design references bathroom appliances? heh.

Fair play to them though; The black iPod NANO is possibly the sexiest gadget I've ever seen... goddamn beautiful.

Bah!

You're a bastard. :(

Isn't It Considered Dweeb-y...

#8810 posted by generic on 2005/09/14 07:12:18

to wear the t-shirt of the rock band you are going to see in concert?

Wouldn't the same thing apply to wearing the t-shirt of the game your company is currently working on to work?

Well...

#8811 posted by pjw on 2005/09/14 09:15:27

there's a whole shitload o' dweebs wandering around here then.

It's Probably

#8812 posted by . on 2005/09/14 10:38:39

dweebier to wear the band t-shirt of the band you're in, esp. while performing.

I Wear

#8813 posted by Zwiffle on 2005/09/14 14:08:06

a "#TF" shirt whenever i connect to #tf. It goes nicely with my "OMG BANNED" hat and my "OMG MR HANDS" tattoo.

#8814 posted by voodoochopstiks on 2005/09/14 14:26:27

I'm seriously considering tatooing "mrhands.mpg" to my right bicep.
