Amazing. And yet I am not surprised: (well , okay a fair bit).

Developer explains what went wrong with Assassin's Creed 3A lot, actually

A fair bit? Sounds right from what he says. ACIII was terrific in small spurts, but I never finished it and looking back one big thing in this rant is true: I almost have to go for 100% in all AC games, but it was just so flipping daunting from all the excess junk that I put the game back on my shelf. I really had better things to do.

GG, I cannot help but think that you discovered these gummy bear stories because you were doing research on your own medical problems.

they are still hilarious.

They're probably funnier to me because of that, but they just appeared at random on Windows 8 news service app. My diarrhea has cleared up a lot from mid December to now. It used to be awful, now it's like once a week, maybe. Or twice.

Really, small spurts.

Like a midget ejaculating.

I was bored, so was reading the Iwata statement on revised sales estimates. It's not all about sales, for instance because of foreign exchange rates, manurfacting costs actually rose, so in combination with making a price cut it actually cost them more to produce the same products, which they were then selling for less. But even then they were expecting ordinary income.

This part was interesting:

Iwata said:

We expect that we will post ordinary income despite the operating loss situation. This is because we now assume that the yen will be weaker than our original assumptions at the beginning of the fiscal year, and re-evaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies owned by Nintendo Co., Ltd. at the end of the fiscal year as well as foreign exchange gains at the time of cash receipts and conversions of foreign funds into yen, among other factors, are expected to exceed the projected operating loss.

On the other hand, we expect to post a net loss despite expecting ordinary income mainly because we need to reverse deferred tax assets in relation to the losses carried over from the previous fiscal years mainly in the United States, as we can no longer expect our financial performance to recover in the current fiscal year.

So it seems they expect ordinary income for the year and that their foreign exchange gains actually outweigh the projected operating losses. But they expect a net loss because they have to reverse deferred tax asset losses from previous fiscal years in the U.S.A.

Driveclub looks amazing!

That does look pretty badass....too bad it wasn't a launch game like they said.

BTW, I'm also having them make a new Viva fucking Pinata, just for Steelattack.

I would buy any system such a game is released on.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.  My store is closed because there is no business license.  My buddy and I suspect that the store has been sold as well, so I figure no more job for me.  I still have $3000 left on that debt.   I'm hoping we can hold on till income tax returns come in and pay it off completely.  I have so many expenses, doctor's bills, things breaking at the moment.  It's going to be super tight...sigh

Ouch. Any chance anyone else could come along and open it up in the near future? Stores closing like that usually get opened up fairly quickly assuming there was steady traffic/customers. At any rate that sucks much. Hopefully the IRS won't delay income tax returns this year like last.

Not sure, we may still get a license, but I seriously doubt. I've probably got to find something for a few months, at least.  I can't believe I'm still stuck paying this bullshit, while my mother makes off like a bandit.  

Is anyone else having problems with the site today?

Have been on and off for the last few days.

Edit: Oh, and damn it that sucks Travo. Hope you can find new work quickly.
