So I got off the phone after my unemployment interview. I was expecting it to be easy but the guy grilled me like no other. He stated that he was then going to talk to the company to get their side of the story and he would later call me back if they disagreed with anything. He called me back two minutes later after he had a brief discussion with the company. Long story short, it turns out that the reason I got fired wasn't because the kids escaped, it was because they suspected me of falsifying the bed check sheet to cover up for my coworker. I didn't talk about it in the writeup, but let's just say the person I was working with wasn't looked at the company through the best eyes. Due to the events happening that night and me working with him, the management was convinced that he wasn't doing his job at the time and that I had to be covering for him by lying in the bedcheck sheet that it was me who was in charge of the bedchecks during those hours and not him. Of course this was NEVER mentioned in the meeting where I got fired. I was simply told that I was fired because the kids broke out of their rooms and stole some stuff on campus. Anyway the guy asked if it was true that I was covering for my coworker and I gave him a firm "no".
So I doubt that I will be able to get unemployment now, you know one of the things that I have been paying taxes toward for years, that the company is in dispute of what I was fired over. I guess I can challenge it but that takes months.Worst part about this is that I won't know if I definitely won't get my unemployment for seven to ten days.
One of the site's forefathers.
Wow. That sucks.
Agreed....but so many things are these days. I used to collect all the time when I worked on the grounds crew at a golf course back in the day, & it was very easy. But I've heard its a pain in the ass these days.
Also, they didn't release all those colors....they showed them off before the console came out, then chose to only release black & purple and promote purple as the main color. Silver didn't come out until the console was dying.
Also, why did they remove the see through disc door on the final design? Fucking Nintendoh.
Well I most certainly did not expect Natsume to return to Wild Guns. I really enjoyed playing it on the SNES back in the day.
Who made Gunsmoke? I used to love that one.
I've been thinking of picking this up as well. Seen it on sale somewhere for a paltry €18, but resisted by lack of time to invest in it. The possibility of playing with another human being, which I still presume you to be, could well push me over the proverbial ledge to get it.
I really need to get back to this. I think I stopped playing right after unlocking the fastest difficulty. The update adds a mini-map, a much requested feature. Not sure what the use of it will be though, unless it shows the whole track. If not, there's no way the map will be able to keep up with the speed of the game.
New tracks would have been nice.
Didn't they spend upwards of 3 years creating these 16 tracks? It would have been nice, but I'm fine with the existing selection.
Interestng read, although it could have used some more fleshing out. The article mentions how little player agency there is in much of the games and how Uncharted 2's village was inspired by Tale of Tale's The Graveyard.
Awesome Babylon 5 article here
So I saw an anime the other day where a grandma gave a frozen orange to a kid on a hot day. And the kid was saying how it was nicer to eat it when it was still partially frozen. So I froze a clementine overnight and it's defrosting now. So far its too hard to peel and where the moisture is on the skin it has turned into a light frosting.
I will let you know how it works out.
This is the pitch for Fable 4 that Microsoft rejected [Eurogamer report]
"However, we were also under pressure to be enormously profitable. To be clear, Fable 1, 2 and 3 were highly profitable, despite the somewhat protracted developments of Fable 1 and 2, but not being as profitable as one or two of Microsoft's other properties created a certain amount of tension."
It was in this context that a pitch for a Fable 4 game was rejected. John McCormack was the chief architect of the pitch. He wanted to switch to Unreal Engine 4 and move the series into the technological, industrial age, with tram cars and flying machines. "We wanted to hit the late Victorian proper far out Jules Verne shit," McCormack says.
HOLY HELL ! ! !
How many times have the words "modern re-imagining of a timeless classic" been overused or used when it just wasn't true or appropriate?
I assure you, when it comes to describing Doom (2016), they have never rung more true!
It's got the look. It's got the speed. It's got the ultra-violence.
It's Doom through and through, just with added melee kills to make it that much more fun and gory!
Don't know why, it's not like you're tethering enemies from afar or kicking your enemies into spiked walls --BUT-- the melee attacks feel like Doom with a tiny smidgen of Bulletstorm on the side...
...and that's a very, VERY good thing!!
Really need to see Coopersville's reaction!!
Yeah, it wasn't nice.
All right. Since we never got to play three together let's try to pick this up the next time it goes on sale and we will give it a run through. Or we could just wait and see how Generations turns out.
Just heard about the trouble in the school in South Carolina, Travo!
Hope you and your friends, family and colleagues are no where near it!
