I worked on EA’s Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf 2000, as well as the “Play Against the Pros” patch for Tiger ’99, so this particular game series will always have a place in my heart. Even that aside, this video had me absolutely in tears laughing as EA pwns a “glitch” in the game.

Eric Gooch of Insomniac has an excellent tutorial on Creating the Lighting for Resistance: Fall of Man.
