Your company is going down the shitter, and you're on maternity leave.
The 21st century CEO, ladies and gentlemen! Stand in awe!

Yeah, hold the baby in, you bitch. What's wrong with you?
Seriously, Creston. What do you think she can do, just decide when she has the baby? |

How invasive is the required internet connection for SP?
I'm on a handcranked internet connection in the centre of the jungle. Is it just a once off login or something more..diabolical?
Diabolical. It's not just a check at the beginning, every moment needs to be authenticated with the server, and if there's too much lag you can experience rubber-banding in single-player. Think of it like an MMO instance with a population of you.
Ah. Glad I didn't buy it then. I just checked and the closest server to my location is on the otherside of the planet. Minimum 250 ping. Why the hell would they do that to the sp?
How would you even buy it if you're in the center of the jungle? Do you get Monkey Express delivery? |

You can start!? I can't even login... 
I got about an hour or so in before my router tweeked and knocked me out of the game. I fixed the wireless just in time for the servers to come down. Awesome.
Luckily, I own a game store. Prototype 2 until the servers come back.  |

People can bash them all they want, but Blizzard did not have to do anything to help those people. The fact that they did means there is still some good in them, I feel it.
Wait, did I just channel Luke Skywalker?  |

Woot - mine should be here this afternoon...
Mine too, and then I'll have to go to work. I'm seriously considering getting sick....
I would love to be sick today...but then the store would be closed and I wouldn't be able to sell Diablo 3 to other people who want it, and would most likely be lynched by the villagers here. Guess I will have to settle for playing between customers.  |

Arg! I am looking forward to this. The interviews make it seem like they want to make her more like Nathan Drake, fallible and therefore more human. Plus, the game looks great.
Ah well, plenty to do until then. |

| That's what happens when you try to get a developer that has never published a goddamn thing to make a AAA MMO with millions of dollars. Whoops, lesson learned? Probably not. |

I try not to get into anything that hasn't already had two seasons anymore. I've gotten burned on a bunch of great shows that never had any sort of closure to ever invest any time into anything that won't be coming back. (Unless it was only written as a one off season.)
Firefly, John Doe, the list goes on. (At least Firefly got a movie, but still...)

Relaxing Saturday. Don't think I've had one of those in...uh...years. First it was homework, now I am open and Saturday is one of my busiest days.
Even before that, I like to go hiking or whatever. That's mentally relaxing, but not so much physically.
Good luck on deciding about your move and such. |

What the fuck? Is it just me or are these numbers that these big corporations throw around waaay out of proportion.
How the fuck can anyone lose 2.8 Billion dollars and not go bankrupt RIGHT IN THAT FUCKING SECOND???
Price cuts? Really? Price cuts are to blame? So why did they fucking CUT THE PRICE then?
Remember, this is a business. Businesses do not account for money in the same way real people do. Some businesses post loses every year, and yet they are still around after decades. It's because a loss isn't really what it sounds like. Accounting magic.
Sales - Cost of goods sold = Gross profit
Gross profit - expenses = net profit
Always remember that ANY money the company spends is an expense. Hence, if you sell $1 million in product and it cost you $500k to produce, you have a net profit of $500,000. Your rent, utilities, etc all come to $250K, so you have $250k left, right? Now, pay employees, bonuses, and expense anything that doesn't really have to do with making the product but you can get away with it because the tax system is wacked. Now that remaining $250k is gone, plus another $30k in write offs.
Now you post a $30k loss and avoid paying any taxes because - after all - you didn't make any profit, right?
Don't forget Sony is a huge company that owns many divisions. If they come close to posting a profit they pay another division an obscene amount of money to expense it, and then post a loss to avoid taxes. |

Honestly, getting tired of hearing this "Bethesda" name in relation to some epic titles from id Software.
Not to mention, it's a poor name. You can't even pronounce it.
Really? How hard have you tried?

If not having coffee for a few hours gives you a huge headache, you have some serious, serious caffeine-addiction issues, Blue. I know, because I was in the exact same position.
I would recommend just cutting that final cup of coffee out, suffer through the misery for a week, and be free of that shit. You'll feel a ton better if you do.

You ex-coffee people, you're all so preachy.
I quit smoking, but there's 0 chance of me quitting coffee unless it's going to cause my immediate demise. (Besides, how would I get my daily dose of whiskey without my coffee?  ) |
