As does “no preservatives”

I must admit that my heart and soul skipped a bit when I was watching the conference and I thought “maybe they found the mars archives”. Well, for all of two seconds before that joy was shut down by the logical parts of the brain.

Well, I for one am still anticipating the finding of the prothean mars archives. I want my darn mass effect drives.

Is it? I haven’t read the book. Sounds more like King, if nothing else.

Batman vs superman: Department of Justice

I really think that Under the Dome could have been a terrific series, if it had been, essentially, a study in human character as they are trapped under a dome. It would also need to be limited to one season, and everyone dies in the end, perhaps with some glimmer of hope (akin to the ending of Snowpiercer).

That’d be…

I really miss the first bits of season 2. I really liked when they had close to nothing in terms of resources, but countered that with skill and ruthlessness. Daisy shot people with insanely powerful sniper rifles, and Hunter just iced people left and right like some sort of SAS bad ass. I miss that, along with the…

But “the other guys”’s struggle isn’t what’s on the table. “The other guys” are not affected by this, at all, and if they are, it’s positive. The best possible outcome is that everyone else sees this as a viable option for demanding more benefits, more money and better contracts.

It’s not a competition between…

What you’re missing is that no one *gets* anything. Publishers, or management in general regardless of business, rarely or never hand these things out because they feel kind and gentle. It is a struggle, and these things are the results of internal politics, of shifting opinions in the business, and of unions and…

This trend of making action scenes fast, with poor lighting, quick cuts and zero-to-none spatial awareness as a viewer is awful. Most of the time I just ... don’t care. I can’t follow the action, so I just wait for it to end so I can examine the results, see who one, who lost, who died etc.

That’s a strawman if I ever saw one. No one claims that your vocal chords will go bust because of one high yell, but try to spend hour after hour, day after day doing vocally intensive work and tell me that it doesn’t affect your vocal chords.

Or, for that matter, just watch the behind-the-scenes footaget from Les…

Why? Why do you make this a conflict between two parts of the workforce, instead of putting your blame on the publishers with the money?

Unionization and a slow but steady shift in corporate culture.

Why do you make this a feud between voice actors and developers? They aren’t the cause of each others poor contracts. Put your blame where it’s due.

The only thing you’re accomplishing otherwise is running errands for the publishers.

What is the deal with everyone making this into a feud between developers and voice actors? It’s a goddamned feud between those who publish games and everyone else involved in making them.

Me neither. Considering that there is no war where the seeds are going. As stated in the article.

You’re the prometheus of ice cream.

Today I’m putting the finishing touches to my SO:s new business website to get it up and running. It’s a neat single-page thingamabob with much colours very javascript. In the coming days I’m going to revisit another JS library I’ve made for handling lists and collections.

More fun than that, though, is the revamp I…

Isn’t he? What I gathered from the books, Harry is mostly a victim of circumstance who sort-of rises to the occasion because he’s forced to.

A lack of marketing budget is the biggest threat a covert organization can face. Not superheroes or agencies.

You can’t remain a respectable, top-secret organization without branding everything.
