IAMfourzerotwo EP 3 - the one about MANapalooza
Just a quick video update, with a few more to follow. I recently picked up a Flip Mino which is going to help get more, quick, videos up on the site for you guys. Which is the typical vlog stuff at the moment but it’s going to come in EXTREMELY handy further in development when can actually talk about all the cool shit happening around here.
I’ll be getting some use in the meantime for upcoming events, such as Maddenpalooza at the Pasadena Rose Bowl this MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY, and not to mention PAX at the end of the month.
Speaking of which, ANYONE GOING TO PAX, send me an email. Let’s get a crew going for dinner, drinks and the like.
Update: For those asking about the wall in the background, you can grab the pack to do it yourself here: http://www.whatisblik.com/

IAMfourzerotwo EP2 (Video Blog)

See IAMfourzerotwo EP2 and more gamer videos on PWNorDIE.com

I finally got around to recording another video blog. This episode covers what I’m currently playing as well as asks what you’re currently into. I answer some questions received since the first video blog, including a look into just how much detail is modeled into the characters of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and just how valuable normal maps are.

Most important, this is your chance to grab some free Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare T-shirts to kick off the opening of the new Infinity Ward online store over at www.infinityward.com. So if you want a chance for a free shirt, be sure to head over to www.pwnordie.com/fourzerotwo and subscribe to the new blog and / or leave a comment here telling me you want one and giving a suggestion for future episodes.

Other than that, it’s general gaming rambling and walking through a typical day at the Infinity Ward studios. Next episode will cover “How to get into the game indsutry” from my experience of doing it, and talking with peers who have done it. Hopefully you guys like it, and if you have any suggestions for future episodes, let me know. Meanwhile, I’ll continue answering questions received from the first episode as well as any new ones sent in!

Fyi - the background is my new living room design, check out full pics of it here:

Since this is the first, I feel it deserves a bit of an introduction. I’ve decided to kick off a video blog on the site, with the first episode lovely titled “The One About Nothing” being posted above. The concept behind the new video blog is to allow you guys a more visual look into game development or anything else you want.

As I said in the video, let me know what you guys want to see. I know there has been a lot of request to see some footage inside Infinity Ward as well as other things and I’m hoping this little video blog will allow us to do that. Ever wonder what a development kit looks like? how it works? Or what the game looks like in the eye of a designer? Ever want to see inside the studio or check out the offices?

Also feel free to ask questions about anything from the game, to how to get into the industry, to what a daily life in development is like. I think it’d be a cool way to get you guys more connected with the development of our games and the industry in general for any fans or potential future game developers. So let me know what you think and how we can make this work as I’d love to start doing them on a regular basis.
