Nice

2019-03-25 14:02:45 UTC  

Ubisoft uses a 4-step hiring process:
路 Offer
路 Review
路 Interview
路 Final negotiation

2019-03-25 14:03:14 UTC  

I've completed 2, which are usually where 90% of possible employees are discarded.

2019-03-25 14:04:57 UTC  

I'm hyped because, even if I don't like the job and I only work for like 6-9 months, it'll still be really positive for me since it'll make me even more hireable for other studios.

What games does annecy make? @druiz

2019-03-25 14:08:25 UTC  

STEEP and, AFAIK, they're probably either making a sequel or another mountain sport-ish game.

2019-03-25 14:08:49 UTC  

It's Annecy, you got PLENTY of inspiration around it for mountain sports-based videogames.

2019-03-25 14:09:40 UTC  

35km south of Geneve in a straight line

2019-03-25 14:10:12 UTC  

Less than 25km in a straight from places like Le Grand Bornand and La Clusaz

2019-03-25 14:11:03 UTC  

The name of the region is HIGH Savoy for a reason, hehehe.

2019-03-25 14:13:44 UTC  

The peak of the Mont Blanc, highest mountain in not-Soviet Europe, is just 55km away in a straight line.

Weirdest job I ever did while working at BigMoon?
Translating a freaking press release because they trusted me more than the Portuguese guy that knew Spanish. 馃槀

2019-03-25 14:45:45 UTC  

I even had to translate the lame-ass self-promoting crap at the bottom of all/most press releases!

POLYPHONY HAS FUCKED IT UP
路 The list for the cars for the NEXT update has been released by accident. You can find the future cars using the search engine for photos and liveries included in the game.

THE CARS THEMSELVES:
路 Porsche 962C in its 1988 configuration
路 Red Bull X2014 "Competition" (the one the players of the finals have raced, national liveries included)
路 The roadlegal Hachiroku (AE86)
路 Renault R8 Gordini
路 2003 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro (the one from Gran Turismo 4)
路 2014 Honda FIT Hybrid

Okay, I actually laughed at **Fallout 2016 Election**. http://youtu.be/OpOkr0bTSwQ

2019-04-01 22:18:25 UTC  

**The Real Housewives of Orange County & KNUCKLES** 馃槀

2019-04-03 14:02:38 UTC  

2nd interview done - That was a long one!
I talked to the project leaders of 2 major games (the 3rd guy had "unexpected" shit to do). They asked me about my studies, my past jobs, my gaming life, how working at the other studio was, the methodology used at the other studio... I don't know French and they know about it, I guess that subtracts some points, but they looked interested and the interview went for longer than what they expected even without the 3rd guy.
I hope the other candidates suck. 馃槀

2019-04-03 14:03:10 UTC  

7 to 10 days for an answer, that's gonna feel like an eternity.

2019-04-03 14:04:32 UTC  

They've promised they'll tell me whether I've been chosen, I'm cool but not needed or I should improve a lot.

2019-04-03 14:20:45 UTC  

good luck man

2019-04-05 23:15:39 UTC  

Even if I'm just a mere Gold1 player in Rocket League, it's always fun to jump into an unranked match and just wow them all by a country mile. I just literally scored 4 goals and did 2 saves in a match. We won 4-1.

2019-04-05 23:16:01 UTC  

Gold1 is a fairly bad classification (only Silver1-2-3-4 and Bronze 1-2-3-4 are lower).

2019-04-06 19:43:59 UTC  

My son is currently 3. How long shoud I wait before introducing him to Dark Souls?

2019-04-06 19:44:48 UTC  

Download ePSXe and PCSX2 and introduce him to gaming through the great 3D platformers of those years.

2019-04-06 19:45:18 UTC  

The Spyro the Dragon trilogy teaches great lessons in gaming while being quite entertaining and somewhat challenging for kids.

2019-04-06 19:45:30 UTC  

My ps2 still works and I have my collection.

2019-04-06 19:45:50 UTC  

I don't generally trade games in, so I've got a collection that goes back to the NES

2019-04-06 19:46:26 UTC  

The Jak&Daxter quadrilogy (yes, the racing game is good and is part of the collection, the actual 4th main game fucking sucks) is also great and goes from just jumping around to deeper themes, gunplay and more.

Someone is making "Pokemon Iberia" with a couple of dozens of new creatures and famous historical figures as the Elite Four.

2019-04-11 01:03:49 UTC  

@druiz do you know where I can learn more about that

2019-04-11 05:29:33 UTC  

It's just an indie thing, not a real videogame.

2019-04-12 18:53:12 UTC  

Ubisoft did an oopsie.

2019-04-12 18:55:04 UTC  

time to figure out where this is

2019-04-12 18:57:50 UTC  

fuck it was removed yesterday

2019-04-12 18:57:53 UTC  

unepic

2019-04-12 18:58:02 UTC  

The FA66075

2019-04-12 18:58:22 UTC  

I wonder what it says now
