Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon Today's best bug: game assets because a turret is trying to take off its hat, and it can't because turrets don't HAVE hats. Silly turret.
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon Asserts, not assets. Curse you, @twitter, for not letting me correct my typos!
Blair Brown @thefiddzz either hats or turrets confirmed.
And now I want a hat-wearing turret. Or a turret-wearing hat. ... Okay, now I want both.
BioWare @bioware Is BioWare going to be at #PAXWest you ask? Why yes, we are! See what we're up to: bit.ly/2c6cscD
PAX West 2016
August 30, 2016 by Sean Trayner
We’re hitting the road for the last time this summer, bringing the BioWare Base to PAX West once again. We’ll be located in room 2AB, upstairs at the Washington State Convention Center.
This year, find out if you have what it takes to be an N7 operative at our Systems Alliance Recruitment Center. In a series of challenges, test your prowess in combat, biotics, and tech, racing against the clock to prove you’re worthy of wearing the red-and-white stripes.
Stop by the BioWare base to meet some of our developers, or catch up with them at the following events:
BioWare Dev Signings
Saturday, September 3, 1-2pm: Sanshee Booth #2613 Sunday, September 4, 1-2pm: Sanshee Booth #2613
Panels
Saturday: 2pm Making and Promoting Non-Traditional Characters in Games
Games are finally starting to reflect their diverse players with more types of characters, scenarios, and approaches to gameplay. Whether it’s writing a one-eyed pansexual bull and his trans lieutenant; featuring non-white main characters; showcasing the female option in marketing; creating an entire cast caught in a web of gender, sexuality, and ability; acquiring unusual indie titles; or keeping the conversation going; it’s crucial. Hear from those who did it and how they’ll do it again.
Featuring Patrick Weekes—Lead Writer, Dragon Age franchise
Saturday: 8pm Foreplay: Romance in Games
So, what’s it like to be in the business of making gamers fall in love with characters that aren’t real? With a growing diversity of games, we have a broader spectrum of romances than ever. But what makes you fall in love with your favorite in-game paramour? Hitting the right balance of writing, artwork, voice acting and music is complicated. How do the pros do it? And what could the future hold? Come cuddle up as we turn down the lights and turn down the bed on modern, digital romance.
Featuring Mike Laidlaw—Creative Director, Dragon Age franchise
Sunday: 2pm Team Up: Women in Games & Tech
Women are a driving force behind many creative disciplines in both the video game industry and tech. Join the discussion to learn about overcoming common obstacles, hear war stories, and get networking advice from professionals. We will cover topics from getting a job to growing your career and everything in between. Come prepared to ask questions, and get ready for an uplifting conversation on how to effect positive change in your career.
Soooo ... PAX West? signings, random talking, life stories and what have you, hmmm... Are they going to do or show anything useful? Let me answer my own question: probably not.
Well, once TTF2 and BF1 are finally out of the picture maybe they can start showing something about the game.
RIP old BioWare - 1995-2016. I used to be a fan, now I'm just toxic.

K, not gonna lie. Don't entirely understand the raptor attack at the end of the chain there...? Is that @sjosz saying they want to murder us for the hair thread? lol

Maybe not about ME. Looks like the DA team are the ones speaking in the game-related panels. Like characters in a game, etc. The other one sounds more like its games industry-focused.

okay guys, sorry if it's not ME related but 'im sure some of you may actually like this, being #spacelovers and considering you might have missed. Been looking for some pics of mars and found these 360 pics which you can view using google cardboad and really have a bit of feeling of actually stand on the red planet! enjoy:

User @patrickweekes At the Making and Promoting Non-Traditional Characters in Games panel,will demisexuals and asexuals be groups you talk about?
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes @user I haven't specifically aimed at a character like that in my writing, so not from me. Others on the panel might, though!
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes @user (Phrasing because some of my characters can be interpreted that way -- but I haven't done a deliberate conscious pass.)
User @patrickweekes Ah, okay. I would love if BW did so in the future, though am glad some can be seen that way.Thank you for answering.
sure, what kind of sexual oriented character does BW still have to include in their games? we have gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, male and female AI , wait, we still don't have gay robots!

Robot is a sexual orientation?
Not robots per se, but gay robots could be. But only the AI robots, not the pre programmed ones. If they're not sentient, then there's no option at all.

i really like pathfinder's setting but i REALLY don't like how focused on min/maxing the rules are. it's designed from the ground up by and for min/maxer's and autists. the rest of us normies have to play on crayon eater difficulty just to hit a target. j00t Fires Of Heaven www.firesofheaven.org/

I take off my proverbial hat in respect to anyone who has a clue what that means.

Still catching up. Lessee:
The Jurassic Park Raptor snip/gif is about what he said at the end before he got ate, "clever girl". I think,the hunter guy is whomever was trying to "wipe us out"--hunting us and all that; the Raptors, ofc, showed "surprising" intelligence and pretty much flanked him and well, ate him. Figuratively.
My thoughts, at any rate. It may be the Hair Thread. Idk.
The Inspector Gadget thing reminds me of DAI Inquisitor. You know, with the Go-Go Gadget hand and all that.
(back to catching up)
edit: oh, i guess it was abt the hair thread, or something similar.
*snort* forgive me for thinking it might be a compliment on the resiliency of this community. the sheer Pluck of the bsn.

When i first read your post I read the last words as gay hobbitts instead of robots for some reason.
Jeff Theriault fieldflux Waking up to hundreds of alert emails for Production is never a good thing. Ever.
Jeff Theriault fieldflux Turns out someone thought it would be fun to DDoS us. All they did was ruin things for other players and fill my inbox. So way to go?
Jeff Theriault fieldflux I don't think I'll ever understand the motivations behind script kiddies who think DDoSing is a cool thing to do.
Jeff Theriault fieldflux Just remember, if you're DDoSing as a protest about a product or service, all you're doing is making it more expensive to provide it.
I don't get what a DDoS attack on Bioware is supposed to accomplish. What's the maximum possible damage? Taking out their site and the mail server for a couple of hours?

Meh. I can see DDOS'ing Visa and MC after their repulsive decision not to allow any payments not to be sent to Julian Assange's accounts for his defense. I can't see this.
