It is not an insult unless the person is trying to hurt your feelings.
Just because it's not an insult doesn't mean it's not offensive.
In this case Oriental might be appropriate because it just plays off of more stereotypes in CRPGs where the women are just sexual objects and all "orientals" know martial arts. I wonder if there is even going to be a dry cleaner and fruit stand in every town you visit too.
It's not just a matter of throwing more people at the problem.
You can throw 30 developers fresh out of college at the problem or you can have 15 developers with several AAA titles under their belt.
I think the 15 experienced developers would do a better job.
Unfortunately I think EA would tend to follow your direction in using more and more inexperienced developers in a team and hoping they come up with something good, just because it suits their bottom line.

Sounds like the tagline for some syndicated action flick.
We are not colonizing because colonizing would raise standard of living of countries that we are using for cheap human and natural resources. We don't need all the inhabitants of some banana republic immigrating to our shores when we can get all the benefits just by opening a military base and some factories over there.
The article seemed to be biased toward art with the hero/heros acting heroic with an optional female damsel in distress. The great covers are the one's that transcend the stereotypes and put the covers more into the art realm. I would agree with the choices of Pinball Construction Set, Zelda, and ICO covers on this merit.
If you're going to reliably answer a question about who happened to be president in a given year, then you pretty much have to know the entire chronology of the presidency
Just like if you had a towel then you pretty much have to be in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc.

What if your source of stress is your idiot boss? How does this book address that?
Then it's time to start looking for a new job.
Have you started that yet?
a giant mold line.
Since we're all wildly speculating anyway.
If you want to paint try Art Rage instead.
It's really fast and it's free.
The only thing is that's it's not open source.
I had mod points.
Commentators on pool games already do this, but between shots, not during.
If you want to get your site slashdotted, just make a machinima adaptation of the Doom movie using the Doom 3 engine.

I'd like to second the recommendation for Code Complete: Second Edition.
I'm not Mr. McConnell either.
Kingdom of Loathing
DeForest Kelly must be rolling in his grave...
Maybe we can use his body to power a generator then.
Your fancy engines don't mean crap to the masses who don't play FPS.
The masses play more of "The Sims" and "Starcraft" than all the games made with all of the aforementioned engines.
You can let the sales figures speak for themselves.
As far as independent games go, there are more people who know about Bejeweled than Far Cry.
I believe Alien Hominid has about a million dollar budget and is entered this year.
It did start as an "indie" game and I believe it still retains that feel even though it has managed to secure financial backing.
I'm not sure which internet you belong to
;)
I think it's the one where's he's a 40 year old overweight male pretending to be a teenage girl in a Yahoo chat room.
Already been done
They already got boingboing'ed and survived. I'm sure they'll do fine.
God made the universe in 6 days.
If he had waited 18 months, he could have made it 3.
Better yet, you can mount some ninjas in those turrets.
THAT would be cool.

I would agree with you, except shouldn't it be "Kerry" instead of "Kelly"?
Just think about a VR helmet that can actually do 1280x1024 by true color and combine that with 3 generations after the Doom3 or HL2 engine...
Six generations after the Doom2 or HL2 engine they'll be laughing at how primitive your statement sounds.
There is a reason you don't see "Teach yourself physics in 24 hours" books.
It's because you're blind.
