First Sudeki Reviews

The first few Sudeki reviews are thru, and they are good.

I'm not sure who reviewed it, or I would post more info. All I have to say is I'm proud to have worked on the game, and to all of you still on it, great work!

*edit* removed the link to the person that told me about this, because he doesn't want his blog assosiated with his real life, and it's not my job to name him. Apologies.

Euro 2005

Well, the European Football (Thats the football in which the foot is used to control the ball, not the American one) tournament is on the way, and the guy that does the Weeble cartoons has made this to cheer on England.

Engerland, Engerland!

Lies.

In the background at work I had gvtechtv in the background.

They were interviewing someone that worked on the Riddick game, and he was talking about how they are the first game to use normal maps. He then said that everything has normal maps on it, and showed it off (and it looked pretty good).

(Note all quotes are paraphrased, because I might not remember the exact quotes)

But this is where it got really bad. The interviewer said "Normal maps? Are they like bump maps?" And the the guy from Riddick said "Normal maps take bump maps to the next level, where old bump maps used lots of polygons and made your CPU chuck, normal maps streamlines it"

That is bullshit, normal maps are bump maps are the same thing. It really annolys me when people go on telelvision and talk out of their backside.
