JohnnyLA commented on Niko Bellic's Voice Voices Pay Concerns, at 12:58 PM on May 21 I really don't swear too much on the site but.. F*ck those guys. It's correct that if he's crying for residuals you better damn believe I'll be wanting my cut. 6 mo. more »

JohnnyLA commented on Breaking Into the Industry: One Tale of Difficulty, at 10:33 AM on May 19 "My own lack of a mind-blowing portfolio and lack of completed projects -- due to many factors both within and beyond my control..." I've been in the industry for almost 10 years and sorry, son, that sounds like bellyaching to me. Here's the tough love: 1) Passion isn't going to get you anything if it's unfocused and scatter shot. more »

JohnnyLA commented on Some Electronic Arts ESA Cheerleading, at 10:08 AM on May 19 The less bigs boys in the clubhouse the more powerful the last one in is, meaning EA's own agenda gets to be top priority for ESA. Like we need that to happen. more »

JohnnyLA commented on Fable 2 In Action, Dog Included, at 2:09 PM on May 13 Definitely a rental. I like how they added the sound effects of the guy dying on top of the video but it's nowhere else. more »

JohnnyLA commented on Pandemic Get Around To Announcing Their Lord Of The Rings Game [Update], at 10:24 AM on May 8 BattleFront is never going to happen, at least from Pandemic. LucasArts was getting the majority of the royalties even though they didn't create the game, and they were treating Pandemic like crap from what I hear, so no love loss there. As for the LOTR game..I'm looking forward to it. more »

JohnnyLA commented on Fallout 3 Lead: "We're Console Players Now", at 10:32 AM on May 7 Ehh..I'm older, and I can't play those 60+ hour games anymore either. If the Gen Y and Millennium kids want complexity for complexities sake just download and play an Ultima or old-school RPG.. with no gamefaq, or cheats, and having to put on graph paper all of the dungeons, etc. more »

JohnnyLA commented on Rockstar's Houser - Fuck Casual Gaming, at 12:15 PM on May 2 When people in the games industry have to attack another segment of the industry, ESPECIALLY since they are part of the "core" gaming status quo (can't get any more behemoth than Rockstar with 1000 devs), you know what it is.. their slightly scared at the coming changes and are verbally fighting back for their livelihood. I mean honestly, you actually think that the "core" gaming market is going to flourish as much as it is now, in this golden age, as in the future? IMO, I honestly don't know. more »

JohnnyLA commented on Capcom Fuck Clover's Sad Panda Corpse [Updated], at 11:27 AM on May 1 From what I heard RaD had nothing to do with this, they have the highest respect for Clover. It's was all in Capcom's camp with this situation. As for not getting credit, the general gaming populous doesn't realize this but: A publisher or even a head of the studio/producer can get your name stricken from a game's credit list for any reason at all and you just have to take it. I've known MANY people who worked on a game full time, crunched with everyone and did great work, the game gone gold, and within a couple of weeks wanted to go to another studio AND THEIR NAME WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE CREDITS on "accident" (I think just for spite). So, the situation above isn't that unusual, especially if another company ported the game and the original publisher pretty much dictated the credit list. more »
