| 04:07.36 | Ivnedar | Reading an article of dirty coding tricks used in games to get them out the door from 2009, most amusing |

| 04:08.55 | Ivnedar | Got there from a 2013 article about the path finding hack in starcraft |
| 04:08.59 | Ivnedar | http://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/the-starcraft-path-finding-hack |
| 04:13.02 | Ivnedar | and I got there from an article about breaking steam client's crypto :P |
| 04:13.15 | Imhothar_ | the wikipedia effect? |
| 04:13.20 | Ivnedar | pretty much :) |
| 04:13.50 | Ivnedar | I love that the pathfinding hack resulted in a player technique |
| 04:14.05 | Ivnedar | And was carried over to starcraft 2 because people were so used to it |

| 04:31.50 | Imhothar | "We scaled down images, decimated models, and compressed textures. Sometimes we did this with the support of the artists, and sometimes over their dead bodies." |
| 04:31.57 | Imhothar | My favorite by far |
| 04:32.07 | Imhothar | screw those fancy pants artists |
| 04:32.42 | Ivnedar | :D |
| 04:33.06 | Ivnedar | I liked the face photo displayed in the bottom corner of the client, linked to the current frame rate |
| 04:33.25 | Imhothar | aye |
| 04:33.30 | Ivnedar | so when artists loaded something in that caused the frame rate to plummet, they got an instant "Oh no, he'll be angry with me" thing |
