    Would that new alien upgrade structure be the "infestation chamber" mentioned in the design log? Kharaa do have less building options truth be told :P

    Yea probably 'Spur' would suggest it speeds up something. I thought it might be a movement chamber but there will be The Shift for that purpose.

    Onos has really cool glowing eyes. Wish it had more tentacles or armour on its torso.

    Thank you Hugh and UWE so much for these vids! Love seeing what goes on behind the scenes and having faces/personalities to put to the developers.

    I envy Brians task: "I'm fixing a bug, a very specific bug". I'm fixing one hundred bugs, one hundred unspecific bugs - of course with "highest priority" and certainly I'm fixing most of it in this year (nooot). Let's change positions, please :)

    I love how Charlie goes "WHOSE FAULT IS THAT?" at the end.

    Great video.

    You guys have a very good team atmosphere.
    It is good to see that you all take ownership of the product.

    keep up the good work
    keep cranking.

    Ultimately it's a matter of how you think about it. I'm sure Brian has much more bugs and features in the pipeline but at this moment he's thinking about this one and fixing this specific bug. I also know that i have a bugs to fix and features to implement for the rest of the year and probably many more but I couldn't get them ever done I was thinking about all reported bugs simultaneously. A project management system like pivotal tracker helps a lot in this. Pivotal Tracker takes care of remembering all the bugs and you can just focus on the one at hand.

    What a difference a year makes! You can definitely tell the quality difference from when NS2HD last went to their office. The old office videos were good, but these new ones are much more tightly edited and professionally put together. Hope we can get a new onos\mineshaft preview video at the end of the week :D

    Whoa, the NS1 source has gone missing? Can we get some more background on that situation? Has that ever been discussed in the past?

    Also, it sounds like its Cory's turn to pick out the lunch spot next time.

    Ultimately it's a matter of how the superiors think about and a matter of the pipeleline, what's more like a huge, wild river, without any idea about pipelines ;) I don't work in a software company like Brian, what's a big difference. And yes, I know about project management processes and software ;)

    I still envy Brian for living in a city with pipelines ;)

    I want a video release of Onos Soccer!

    Seriously guys, would be really cool to video some of the funnier bugs you find in your playtests, and maybe, after release, you can upload a video of the funniest bugs you created while programming the game :)
