A SHORT LOVE STORY IN STOP MOTION from Carlos Lascano on Vimeo.

I loved this piece of art so much, that I decided to post it here!

It has nothing to do with games, game art, gamedev or anything, It’s just sheer beauty that deserves to be apretiated with love! :)

Thanks to Carlos Lascano for making it.

I created a Stage6 channel called “Unreal Engine 3 – Video Tutorials“, this are the videos included on the Collectors Edition of Unreal Tournament 3, they feature a step-by-step learning lessons on how to work with Unreal Engine 3.0 and It’s editor, UnrealEd.

I uploaded this videos for learning porpouses only, and I take no credit whatsoever for they’re content, I’m simply contributing to the Level Design and Moding scene. Knowledge is power, and belongs to the people.

Enjoy, and Happy Mapping! :)

EDIT (May 2009)
As you probably know, stage6 is down so all my uploads are dead, try searching on vimeo or youtube in HD for these same videos, or even better, buy UT3 Collectors Edition.

A group of Russian hackers discovered, 2 days after the release of manhunt 2 for PSP, a way of removing all the censure from the game.

Once again Rockstar is making a mockery of the ESRB rating. First time (HotCoffee), sure it’s an accident. Second? I would think it’s intended. Take Two is basically using the ESRB to generate mass marketing hype and controversies.
It’s way to easy how to remove the strategical placed blur and video effects placed by Rockstar to hide some of the gore, first you need an ISO copy of the game, (Remember, only download the game if you already own it on UMD, I do not support software piracy in ANY way), Open ISO in UMDGEN, Extract both files: PSP_GAME\USRDIR\GLOBAL\LVLSETUP.INI and PSP_GAME\USRDIR\LEVELS\A01_ES\GLVLSET.INI.
Than, erase the folowing code from these files:

—————————————————————————-
# [GK] execution colour ramp options: flash fadein (sec), flash duration (sec), flash fadeout time (sec)
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_TEXTURE  FE_execramps
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FLASH_TIMES 0.25, 0.6, 0.3
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FADE_TIME  5.0

Replace the modified .INI files onto the ISO, and enjoy the uncensored Manhunt2, I tryed this myself, and it works perfectly. :)

During QuakeCon 2007, id Software’s John Carmack announced that they have a second team working on a free web-based Quake 3 Arena adaptation, tentatively called Quake Zero. Watch the video below for an excerpt of John’s keynote, courtesy of GGL Wire.

I’ve thought of making a few changes on my blog.
So far, I only used this blog to post important personal stuff, well that mainly means that possibly it will pass weeks, even a couple of months before I post anything new…
But, that’s about to change. I’ve made the decision to make this blog a little bit more generic, but still specific to my professional area, that is 3D, Game Development, and Level Design for games.
I’ll be posting the most important news regarding mainly those three topics.

I hope you enjoy it, keep checking back!

Cheers
