We missed Matt Pettineo, who goes by MJP on GameDev.

GameDev.net at 4:58pm July 2

Thanks Promit. I've added him to the MVP group, although his GDNet+ tag seems to supersede the MVP tag. Man can't wait for V5...

GameDev.net is reminding everyone that there's only two days left to enter in the Intel schwag bag give-away! Details can be found here - http://tr.im/oBCl

GameDev.net doesn't have a lot to update on this past week, but superpig talks about V5 tagging (cool!), one week left for the Intel Swagbag contest, and a new resource posted this week - http://tr.im/gy3o

Franco Renato Nieto Happy birthday Gamedev. I am a member of the community since March 23, 2005. I remember when I studied in college was working in 256 colors mode VGA320x200 with complicated asm. When I joined the community learned to work with DirectX 5.0 and OpenGL Nehe. Since then I have recommended this site to all beginners and advanced programmers and often Video Games to check the tutorials on programming, mathematics, physics and optimization of source code. You are the best page in the globe.

Just another minor road bump on the way to the new site. Was caused from some tech upgrades, ironically enough :P

Anything cool happening for the anniversary?

GameDev.net at 11:59pm June 3

you obviously didn't follow the link to read the sitrep! or you did, and just didn't understand the Superpig reference. Either way you'll just have to wait till next week!

Michael at 5:47am June 4

Ok, I admit I'm slightly retarded and didn't actually click the link (I thought it would just be about E3 stuff). But WOOHOO for GDv5! I was hoping it would come out before I leave for Africa in July; looks like I may have just gotten my wish!
