Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.

God of War III’s main protagonists are all animated by hand, simply because it was found that the animators themselves produced more effective work than basic motion capture from the actors offered. However, for secondary characters, Image Metrics’ performance capture system recorded the voice actors’ facial movements and mapped them on a per-pixel basis to the 3D models, with touch-up work carried out by the Sony Santa Monica team.

Interesting.
So, I dunno. I’m torn. The vile stuff is … vile. It should not see the light of day. When a newspaper allows it up there, it is passively condoning it.

Between callous laughter on the one hand and a purposeful dilution of the word on the other, it’s clear that we fear failure — all the more because we’re so profoundly unfamiliar with it. And why shouldn’t we fear it? There’s nothing romantic about failure. It’s degrading, it’s stressful, it involves fear and shame and all kinds of unpleasant emotions with which we as a generation have had so little prior experience. It’s certainly possible to live a life without running the risk of failure, medicated by drugs, alcohol, cable TV, or any number of meaningless pursuits designed to blot out thought and emotion.

VERY FUNNY guys.
This is the great mystery of Weinberg’s career, and it’s hard to escape the conclusion that Carnegie was on to something: there are times when being an outsider is precisely what makes you a good insider.
