Two things related to games.

First, what the fuck, Konami. I was looking forward to MGS Rising, since it would've provided backstory for the gray area between MGS2 and MGS4, and the gameplay looked neat, but then this happened.

It's now a "spin-off" (non-canonical) that takes place chronologically after MGS4. It also looks like shit. On a brighter note, Kojima did confirm that there will be an MGS5. Yay.

Second, this looks awesome.

I need that game.

The Last of Us looks interesting.

I look forward to seeing Naughty Dog flexing their developing muscles with something a bit meatier than Uncharted.

Another good game that looks kinda like that is "I Am Alive". Definitely having a look at that one.

EDIT: Just noticed that private messages are back! When the hell did that happen?

Within the last couple days I think. I missed that function; it was useful.

Agreed. Uncharted was great but I'm glad that Naughty Dog knew to end it with Uncharted 3 and move on. It's great to see developers actually working on original stuff instead of abusing cash cows.

I'm definitely not looking at Treyarch/Infinity Ward right now, no sir.

I'm thinking more 343 studios, what with the "The Reclaimer Trilogy".

(Edited to put in a better link.)

...wow.

Anyways, wiped my hard drive and did a clean reinstall last night, love how everything's so fast again. I might make this a Christmas/New Year's tradition just to keep my computer streamlined and efficient

I had to leave it on overnight to re-download my entire Steam library, though.

Double-post because I actually did good in Counterstrike (on my second day playing)

IT'S A HOLIDAY MIRACLE

Depends on if it pays. That market seems pretty saturated. :/

A ... mechanical ... engineering job?

To be honest, I don't know. I set out in life to build shit. I've been wanting to become an engineer since the 3rd grade and had my hands into everything. All this time however I never put much thought into what I want to build. This is probably the first time for a very long time in which I don't have a specific long term goal I'm looking towards.

That being said, I've been applying for everything I'm even remotely qualified for, which turns out to be a pretty broad range. from companies that design and manufacture interceptor missiles to companies that produce lawn mowers.

Also, I've exercised more these past few weeks than I have in the past four years simply because I feel stressed out about not being stressed out and I have to exert some energy towards something other than randomly applying for jobs.

Even if I did know what I wanted to do, with the job market as it is, I honestly doubt I would get my dream job anyway.

So right now, it's pretty much apply for a ton of jobs, exercise, play skyrim, repeat.

On the bright side, I got a new suit for interviews! yay!

Fancy, that.

Sounds like fun. Hope someone hires you. I've heard of folks getting their degree in law or business and such only to end up on the streets with a cardboard sign saying "Degree in Business and Economics. Work needed." I bet that'd be frustrating. I know I'd be pissed.

Hey well if I ever come into a shit ton of money like through the mysterious deaths of most of my relatives than I'll totally bankroll you to design some contraptions for me.

Assaultman67 · Post by **Assaultman67** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 1:38 am

I am so close to doing that myself and I've only been out of school for a week and a half.

Not having anything long term goal is ... fucking stressful.

The closest I've come to landing a job was with some guy in NYC ... however I met him through Reddit and may have made a joking comment about being one step away from sucking cock for cash

Infact, I've been getting a lot of offers through Reddit after saying that

tl;dr in five years im gonna be in an alleyway of NYC sucking cock

Definitely not something to put on your CV there Assaultman "In five years time, I see myself in a New York backalley..."
