    How come it seems like people don't even Google their question, or make any effort whatsoever to solve their problem before just getting angry and posting "this is my problem, what are you going to do about it!?" I'm not complaining, I still need help now and then. Just, is it generational, was it always like this?

    RTFM has been an acronym for as long as I can remember, so it's certainly not a new thing. But it seems like as tools get easier, people come into it thinking that you can just jump in with no effort. Which leads to jokes like the one around here about the "make an MMORPG" button.

    Going to a Linux forum these days and seeing people ask, "How do I terminate a process" sometimes takes me back to the good old phpBB days when a group spanking of that poster would likely ensue. Despite all the criticism of Linus' repeated f-bombs, Linux people are much tamer these days.

    Great news!

    Some friends and I are going to grab a couple of bottles of rum, soda and some Dorito's this weekend and get together in my mom's basement to create an amazing game!

    It will have awesome graphics, music, story, fat stacks, housing, rockin economy, OP skills and mobs! You'll be able to jump and sit in chairs yo!

    Just have a couple of questions for you peeps...

    1) What's an integer?

    2) How much money should we let people give us to make our awesome game?

    3) Where's the "makeMyGameForMe.bat" file, we can't find it, is it in Unity's Standard assets?


    Thanks in advance!

    I would recommend buying Strikah's Spritez and EZGUI, also download some extensions, there's really useful code to copy & paste on Terry's Unity Web Page that will get you going.

    Me and my brother were once wer u are, like 2 months ago. Now we've released several games through our company IcyTornado (lol... I hope blizzard doesn't sew us).

    Btw here are the links to our games on Kongregate if u could plz rate and also we're looking for a prpgrammer and a 3d modeler for our next game, its going to be sick.but I don't want to talk.about it here because I'm afraid my idea will be stolen...

    But think of Assassin's creed but in Minecraft, vut with a twist you'll never believe

    Assassin's creed in Minecraft but with a Farmville flavor, now that I could go for!

    ...or maybe Candy Crush'ville with Scrolls art direction and a Wow style quest hub.

    Can't decide :p

    Absolutely!

    My skill set includes, but is not limited to:

    Expertise with Ramen Noodle Mallets

    "Anti-humor" meaning stuff I think is funny but no one else does

    Drrrinking cofffeeeee

    Pontificating on things of which I have limited knowledge

    Educating Unity Technologies on how they should run their business

    "Designing" award winning, million $/day monetized games

    Thinking about stuff

    Procrastinating



    I've been meaning to put all of this up on Linkedin, and I plan to start thinking about doing that as soon as my break is over.

    :p
