E3.....

.....was fantastic. Still recouping from a week long delve into Cali and video games even though it's well over a week later.

Highlights:

Mass Effect 2
Brutal Legend
Ghostbusters
Rock Band: Beatles
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Modern Warfare 2
Batman Arkham Asylum
Need For Speed: Shift

Interesting/Medium point:
Bayonetta
Mini-Ninjas

Low points:
Dante's Inferno (It looks and plays too much like God of War)
Blur

Trying to think of more. It's been two weeks and my mind is still overloaded.

E3 possibly.

Got the confirmation. Got the time off of work. Oh crap oh crap oh crap.... I can't wait!


It's more of a possibility than anything for right now. Between moving and life stuff it's like an "Outlook good" thing going on.

Yearly update.

Since February huh? I have been busy since then. So let's go over the highlights and low points of '08.

Good times (Otherwise known as a room full of people throwing around high fives and Prince comes in wailing on guitar. Purple rain mother fucker.)

- Found gainful employment at a video game company. Turbine. Started March 16, 2008.
- Two days before I left my other job was told that they were to be shut down within a couple of months. I miss Ibis.
- Moved in with Jess in Pawtucket.
- Almost paid off all my debts (Besides car payment)
- Bought a HD TV.
- Started budgeting and controlling my spending habits.
- Actually had money in the bank.
- Found that assisting gamers with their technical gaming issues can be rewarding.
- Worked two jobs at one time several times and found it to be joyous.
- Went back to Ibis and realized how much I missed it.
- Met so many new friends but I keep realizing how much of a shut in I enjoy being.

Well... there are the pros. Here is the fuckery.

- Was let go from Turbine ten days before X-mas.
- Got to see Ibis get shuttered down. That was extremely sad.
- Had to expand my job search to other states and moved back home. I miss Jess.
- Found that assisting gamers with their technical gaming issues is too stressful. Being let go was kind of a relief.
- Didn't get to do as much as I wanted to but that is alright I guess.
- Another 360 broke again.

2009 has been interesting

- Started working for a law firm
- Trying to find a new place in CT
- Going to have to move from one state to another. Ugh.
- Met more awesome friends
- Got asked to be a best man at a wedding. I'll let you know how that goes.

Anywho, back to work. I'll try to update this more often.

Turning point alpha

So far

I can stay at my current job and possibly get shuffled out at some point due to the place closing down or....

Had an interview on Thursday at Turbine. Was a really fun interview and seems like a company that I could work for and advance in. Paycut though...

Pros cons GO!!!!

Pros:
Gaming company
Field to move up and advance in

Cons:
Paycut
Taxes
Moving
I don't want to fail....

I guess that is what I am afraid of the most, falling on my face and asking for help. Maybe growing up too.

Update - Par for course

So I am currently working two jobs.

Yeah, rah, awesome.

I fucking hate it. My second job causes so much stress it isn't even funny. Psoraisis is a miserable disease, the minimum wage to work this job is not even worth it.

Why do I stay?

The people there are really nice and awesome. A wish upon the stars is sent so I might become rich, so I could provide jobs for them.

A wish.

The world dictates being a slave to yourself though. Fuck all if else fails.

I hate douchebags who call and prank call me at the second job. Hopefully it makes their tiny pricks fill with glee and in the future they will get raped by a pack of roving rabid wolverines. I am not even angry about the battletoad pranks, that at least is original. I just enjoy people calling up and coming up with something that would make me go "That would be cool. Why isn't that out." That is fine.

Apparently people just enjoy calling up to insult the staff. Like I said. Rape.

wakka wakka douchebags

Wakka wakka douchebags is mine and I made it up. I am awesome.

Just burst into a room and go "Wakka wakka douchebags!"

The generic one works too, it's simple:

"Wakka wakka (Insert random insult here)!"

Works however and whenever you want.
