Giant Bomb Presents: The Man Who Stares at Plants

Beep beep, motherfuckers.

These plants aren't going to render themselves.

We need people like this.

Yeah, that's the thing with most video game plants. They look terrible up close. It's kind of appalling, given how good everything else tends to look in modern games.

It's why stuff like the 3D plants in AC IV get me excited. It's time that plants start looking good in games.

Overall a really interesting interview, there's so many shortcuts (I use the term with outmost respect for their work, it's not a "lazy" thing) developers employ to create illusions it's pretty interesting when you notice how they're doing it.

Although, I have to say, this seems like an interview in which Patrick's "keep the conversation going" skills seemed to bite him in the ass a couple of times. But hey, that's sort of the challenge with such conversational skills, sometimes you meet someone where they don't work as easily with, for whatever reason.

Also, someone needs to tell Swaim he has the laugh of an evil villain, I mean that as a compliment.

Jim didn't get a formal presentation because he doesn't need one, he's, for better or worst, very prominant in the games' media. Same for Jeff Kanada.

I think the way Patrick bullshits. and overcomplicates every single sentence, to ask a simple question really bit him in the ass this time. The kid was too straight talking for him.

Damn, missed commenting on this on 4/20 by one day.
