| I think both MS and Sony have each got to be well aware that they got absolutely hammered by Nintendo , despite the latter having a markedly inferior console, minimal online focus and much shittier games. This by itself would dictate a cautious, well-thought-out marketing strategy Microsoft and Son... |

If he signed up in December then I'm impressed that you've got the email now. But then Darric's tricky like that, he died once you know. |

| So you bear all the risk of the money going down the tubes on a failure, but if it's a huge success you get nothing more than a preorder. It's a much smaller amount of money, though. And generally most projects at least try to offer something with more perceived value than just a pre-order. On the ... |

| In Reply To #16 Well for the first semester they taught Java using this awful 'IDE' called BluJ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlueJ) which just confused most people because it tries to abstract really important stuff away, so the switch to proper IDEs (Netbeans was the recommended one, and was fairl... |

| In Reply To #14 We don't have a HR department (fairly small company), but yeah, we totally shouldn't have hired him. He did awfully in his programming test, but they were fairly desperate to hire new staff at the time. Again, I realise it's not really a failing of UDK that he doesn't know stuff, but... |

| Most Computer Science degree programs don't even touch C++ anymore, favoring Java which abstracts the computer out of the whole equation. It's no longer Computer Science anymore, more like Software Development as there's no real science going on anymore in a lot of these programs. As for people not... |

| In Reply To #6 I'd agree that Epic's work on the UDK has been great for the industry, UDK (and similar things, like Unity) might be great in some ways, but they've become far too popular for their own (and anyone else's) good. The problem is a lot of universities now consider it perfectly acceptabl... |

| Hostile working environments are always shit; several people I work with are looking for new jobs because of my boss's attitude. He's the sort of guy that would be OK as a friend, but as a boss comes across as arrogant and a bit aggressive. The problem we have is that it's a small company, and the p... |

The first one I got was Mega Stapler Summit. At university, as a group project, I made a game called Staplerman. And now I have the name for the sequel!
After that, I guess I'll make Geriatric Bazooka Heroes. |
