Like a 1990 cyberpunk fever dream just jizzed all over your face, and then drove away in a van with a wizard fighting a dragon painted on the side.

We need to kick this "neogaf spin-off" label and become "that forum with the guys who all got tattoos of that frog from a graphics card box"

Do you all think it's like one freelance graphic artist who does all the boxarts for every company's 3d card?

I picture him as this Greatful Dead looking 60 year old whose high all the time and is still playing Starcraft 1 and complaining about how modern RTS games all suck.

I wonder if any of these are like, legitimately passionate artists who are starting out/etc and just want to make cool art. Then their marketing director swoops in and says, "That's really beautiful, but can you chop all the polygons out and up the contrast?

And make the eyes glow a cool color?

  So glad to be out of the stone ages of PC gaming.

it takes a certain dude to build a 100 screen concave fortress of pixels then orient his living room facing away from it.

[nudemacusers]

maybe we aren't seeing that the whole room is nothing but screens

...which explains why he's so upset. no doors
