So I'm still pretty sad about the whole Iron Lore Entertainment shutting down.

Titan Quest was easily in one of the top 5 games I've played int the last few years. LOVED

it. Bought it twice. They took what Diablo did and refined it wonderfully. I was so

hopeful for a Titan Quest 2. DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT.

As for the the videogame news around these parts for today:

Lastly, still the funniest thing

ever on the internet.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.

    literally posted seconds after I posted a new thread. Nice! So, this is a very rough template, but what do you guys think of this for a portfolio website? (none of the links work yet): http://joshlyon.com/port/

      It's a little plain. Also, please tell me you aren't one of those guys that thinks they can do sound design because they do music.

        I've done a lot of looking around and I've noticed that a lot of portfolio websites are quite plain, but I see what you're sayin. Also, I've done about an equal amount of sound design and music production over the last few years.

          That's cool. I am just tired of every composer out there thinking that they can do sound design. It's like thinking you can paint because you can take pictures. There is overlap, but it doesn't mean it's an automatic thing.

            Also, you might want to segregate you different media into different sites. Right now, if I was looking for music I'd leave your site right away because it looks like you are trying to do everything and very few people do everything well. That's not to say you can't mention your other talents, but just not on the front page.

              I'm designing this as part of my senior project and my professor told me the same thing. I am pretty good at all of those things, but I need to refine what I want to demonstate. I'm not really sure which direction I want to go, or if maybe I want to find a way to present them all well. I'm not too far along on this to start from scratch.

      is there a reason theres 2 of each person instead of 1 of each? also lacking resume link

        the reason right now is because I'm still building my portfolio (if you haven't been paying attention to my photoshoot threads, that is my goal). And thanks, I'll add a resume link.

        also it bugs me how the pictures arent centered as it feels unbalanced with the white space to the right

          lastly it feels like too much scrolling(reduce image size a little and let the user click to go to a full sized?) but I dont know if thats acceptable for the industry youre going for

      pictures should be smaller to thumbnails, and use a nicer photo browser, and put the prettiest chick first.

      that's as far as i got.

        remember when the ketchup goes flying across the screen all over the table and the burgers? well, he's the guy who cleaned up after the shoot!

      What camera/lense did you use for these shots? Looks good.

        oh, thanks! Most are shot with my 60mm micro nikkor lense, but I also use a sigma 70-300 macro. That thing sucks, though...not that sharp. Oh, nikon d70 body. It's getting dated, too :/
