I voice 14 different characters in THE ELEPHANT on HBO Max, this was one of the most unique, fascinating projects i've ever worked on, three different teams led by Pendleton Ward, Rebecca Sugar + Ian Jones-Quartey, and Patrick McHale all contributed segments without ever seeing the others (1/2)

Adult Swim's The Elephant is fantastic and life affirming. Absolutely check it out, also makes a surprisingly great Christmas watch

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.
I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

Ok being real there better be some free new characters coming at some point. I'll be pretty annoyed if they want to charge for them

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

People are being really weird about this (straight up lying to say there's a way to get it in game) but also everyone screaming about "$30 DLC" is being a bit ridiculous as well.
To me it's pretty clear the artistic intent (which you can debate the success of) was to have no music in the desert

There's a wild amount of people parroting the claim that unlocking the motorcycle radio player in Metroid Prime 4 can only be through an amiibo is "misinformation", yet they can only point to "well someone else said it" instead of actual evidence.
I've 100%d the game pre-release: It doesn't unlock.

No matter how bad things are just remember: it can and will get even worse
Netflix confirms it will acquire Warner Bros., including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO, for about $82.7 billion, after separation of Discovery Global (which is expected to be completed in Q3 2026).

I don't mind Myles much so far. I think if you cut out that "so... Win?" Line he wouldn't make such an awful first impression lol
From a visual and audio presentation perspective this is easily the most impressive Nintendo game in a while. It's not just fidelity, it's actual art direction

I've never understood this "if we surround the main character with obnoxious fans who freak out about how cool they are the audience will also think the character is cool" thing. Half Life 2 does this too where every character can't ever shut up about how epically super awesome gordon is
