Sunday reading #2

Okay, it's Monday. I've had all these in tabs since yesterday though, so I'm saying it counts.

• Absolutely fascinated by Avatar anyway, but the new HD teaser on the Apple site has now really got me hooked.
• Alex has an excellent summary of the GDC '09 conference sessions. Interesing food for thought on rubber banding in racing games (I thought Pure was a little bit too "fair").
• Great summary/look at the WOW:Cataclysm demo and starting areas offered at Blizzcon '09 on Project Lore's site. Interested in tech behind flying mounts across Azeroth.
• A useful look at the rendering pipeline beyond OpenGL - "In depth analysis of iPhone 2G/3G rendering pipeline - not at the level of OpenGL ES, but looking deeper. Understanding what driver actually does, how communication between CPU and GPU is implemented and what data is sent."
