TIL that Rooster Teeth was owned by fucking Warner Bros?!

I had absolutely no idea Red vs Blue was still around.  Thought for sure that ended some time not longer after Halo 3 came out.  

David Zaslav is a cancer that will destroy anything remotely creative if it doesn't give his precious shareholders a chubby in terms of profit

This whole deal, is, by far, the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever seen in my 34 years of existence. What in the actual fuck is this, and what kind of absolute fucking imbecile would pay for any of this? What is this for? What is the purpose? What are you even “playing”?

Which seems really dumb as crunch time remotely is much more productive than in-house. At least remote works can nap at their leisure then hop back into work. Droning on for 10+ hours in a office will be less productive and more mistakes will occur.

Working “on task regularly and continuously” is not the same as doing valuable work that contributes to a company’s goals or (more importantly in my opinion) fulfills the goals and skillset of the employees themselves. I’m primarily in project based work so some days I have 10 hours of stuff to do, some days I have 2…

People only now are concerned about the work/life balance for Rockstar? It’s a long running joke in the industry that if you have friends that work there, you will not see them again for years until the game ships. 

There are ‘tangible benefits’ to me working from home. If I get a bad headache, I can rest it off then return to work, rather than taking a sick day. If I need to stay late to work on a feature, I can devote even more hours to it before I get tired, and/or return after a rest. I don’t have to cut off my work day at…

They expect me connect to their server EACH TIME I launch Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC, yet they won’t allow their employees to work using a remote access... (Yes, I’m being salty about Rockstar Games’ DRM.)

“The company’s head of publishing said there are ‘tangible benefits’ for in-person work”

Yeah I’m sure the corporate real estate company who owns your buildings are seeing plenty of “tangible benefits” from you forcing people back in. And your middle managers whose only previous contributions were watching people actually work and whose value is being questioned, they get a lot of “tangible benefits” from…

yes, correct

no, she’s trying to keep it from a group of terrorists who she believes murdered her father and have been hounding her across the world. she acts with incomplete information, but with the right intention.

Nah, that’s not about gamers.  It’s just the general trend.  The worst part about any fandom is the fans.  An alternative example of ‘sports’ comes to mind.

Nintendo is a Japanese company, Japan has different laws regarding copyright, Valve does business in Japan, has Japanese customers, and works with Japanese companies.

The midnight release of Halo 3 and og MW2. and even then, I only actually waited like 15 minutes to receive my preorder lol

Consumerism is absolutely out of control.

Congrats is survived a car fire, pretty much any insulated “Yeti” clone tumbler would have also survived lol.  

My interest in Stanley remains flat.

What the fuck are you talking about
