Guys. I needed money - got a job writing about games. (NCSoft/Midway news too)

[Morfiend]

At least now he's a cock who can afford to pay for a blow job.  I mean, if he wanted one, that is.  Which I'm sure he doesn't because he's a good boy.

I am pretty sure that even good boys want blow jobs.

[Hutch]

Whoaz. You just moved to Austin, and now you've got a new job? That was lucky. And your new job is in the periphery of the video game industry! In Austin! Lucky lucky lucky.

[schild]

I work in Austin. Website is based out of New York.

[Count Nerfedalot]

At this point it could be anyone. The comments on that post really show Vigil at their finest. Honestly, I thought Vajuras was the only bad egg. Like, there can't be a studio FULL of people like this, can there? Apparently, yes, maybe there can. Note: 2 of those people commented AFTER we pulled the Vigil reference.

Maybe you should scrub the Vigil tag as well then?

And I know you have no control over the ad stuff, but what the hell is that gargoyle licking on the front page background image?

[schild]

It's a game called Legendary.

I don't know how to scrub a tag. Might as well be left though since 3 of the commenters are Vigil employees and I'm just a douchebag.

[Lt.Dan]

I was going to suggest e-stalking you at your new job, but damn you're on the real internet now.  Not this charming corner, that whole other intardnet.  No amount of stalking we could do could come close.

[Merusk]

I'd point and laugh, but it'd be redundant. 

Also; vigil, lol.  Of course it's a studio filled with idiots like Vij-vag--.. what's his cunt.   He was one of the people 'in power' right? So he'd be hiring people just like him.. or the fact that he actually still has a job there indicates that's what they'd consider a 'quality' employee.   It's the games industry, after all.   

[Trippy]

Now you have to follow tradition and give the website to Trippy who will abscond with the server fund.  It's the rules.

[Grand Design]

I'm being OCD, but this link is driving me nuts:



Its morality tale.  I got over the fact that I couldn't correct it and clicked the link anyway.  Baby steps.


Edit: and wtf is hallucinogentic?

[Soln]

Congrats.

You're still Ok in my book.  Go with Dog.

[LC]

Look on the bright side. The Austin U-Haul will be making record profits.

[UnSub]

It's interesting (if the news is true) that NCsoft Austin is going to be dumping a heap of people while NCsoft NorthCal is looking to fill a heap of positions. You'd think more internal transfers would be on offer.

[schild]

What you're saying is that those folks Want the people from Tabula Rasa?

Or do you think people who live in Austin are willing to leave?

[Musashi]

...to go to Northern California?  Unless they were fired for being crazy people, they should be.

Shut Up.  I've never been to Austin.  But everyone knows the west is the best.  xD

[K9]

Congratulations, this should be fun.

[schild]

It's more fun simply due to google alerts.

[Yegolev]

That web site made my eyes retract into my skull.  Add some <blink> and you'll have me twitching on the floor.

[schild]

Heh. It might be worth following simply because some people don't want to let a redacted statement die. Let's dig it up and make a PR nightmare! That's good strategy!

[LC]

Looks like one of your "fans" decided to link this thread in the comments of your news post.

[schild]

Yea, I saw.

[NiX]

You know, Nix, I'm (still) not changing your grief title.

Either way, you're a cock. I could care less about the title.

Ya big cock.

BUT IT'S THE RULES!!11!one

I didn't run off with the money though. I bet Garriott would've. Probably have bought space ice cream.

From this fine vendor no doubt http://spacedotsindia.com/index.php

[Reg]

Genx Ice Cream. My worst nightmares have come true.

[Nonentity]

Hey! This is awesome, grats man!

I'm sure you'll fit right in.

[Brogarn]

Money is definitely necessary. Hope you make what you need and then some.

[Reg]

Hey Schild, are you going to give us links to your articles at that site from here? I'd like to read your stuff but I don't want to actually have to see any of the rest of that place.

[Hutch]

It's more fun simply due to google alerts.

I was just about to say, "at least now you have an RSS feed." Good upgrade.

[sam, an eggplant]

Giantrealm also hosts rockpapershotgun, one of the most entertaining and well written gaming sites anywhere. You have some stiff competition!

Edit: Actually I got that totally wrong, Giantrealm is an ad agency, RPS is one of their clients, and Schild is writing for their in-house content. It's like UGO, they did ads everywhere but also had ugo.com.

[Murgos]

Genx Ice Cream. My worst nightmares have come true.

Dippin dots?  They've been around ~20 years.

[stu]

Oh, fuck yeah. You reposted the AICN Clone Wars review. I was hitting F5 like a madman to see if it would come back up the other day. Not that I care much for his meandering reviews, but seeing that it was pulled makes me curious.

Grats, btw. Do the ladies follow you around when they find out you're a games journalist?:

[schild]

I wear my sunglasses at night.

[Krakrok]

My sunglasses wear me at night.

[schild]

Are your sunglasses augmented?

[WindupAtheist]

I fully expect this Clone Wars shit to suck.  But if anything, Knowles hating it is a point in it's favor.

[schild]

Honestly, I'd never read a Knowles review before. He is the worst writer in the history of writing.
