The Orange Box

So I just got the Orange Box for the 360 and will be playing Team Fortress 2 for anyone who wants to log in and play. Gamer tag is KrookedNelson. This post was really about the game portal that comes with the Orange Box as well. Great puzzle game, and has a very "Independent Film" feel in a video game. Here is a lowbudget flash version if you want a small taste. The actualy game is in 3D and much more fun.

Flash version of Portal (not by valve)

New thunderdome drawing here. I cheated a bit on the last one. You are only suppose to get 30mins to draw it. On the robot I took something closer to 2 hours. So here is a 30min digital painting. This weeks topic "Favorite movie characters".

"Video game developers tell teenagers that math is cool"

It wasn't I who said that :P

So recently Vicarious did a little community educational course for some local school kids. I was asked to talk on behalf of the animation department and tell the attendies a little bit about our jobs. Here is the locate news paper artical on the event. -Krooked

Animation Short.

Here is an animation test done for the animation forum here at work.
The rules were that by the end of the animation the can of corn had to have gone through the hoop atleast one time.

At work we have this weekly thing called "Thunderdome" where all the artist do a drawing based on some pre-set idea. This weeks was from the "Robot with a specific job" series. Mine is a plumber. Robot Plumber. -Krooked
