How are they intentially *under*staffing by adding new workers? In certain seasons, they have more orders, so they hire more people... If you mean they are understaffing because they need them to work so many hours, it really depends on how many people are willing to do the job and how much it costs to train a second…

Because you said “Amazon was willingly paying you 20 hours of work at time and a half every week. This means I’m instantly tossing your story on the disreputable pile.” As if it is unbelievable that a company is willing to pay that much overtime. Well, it is a reality in a lot of fields, so why do you think it is…

In that very video it shows people working alongside the bots... Plus there are huge sections of the warehouse that don’t use the robots at all. They actually have markings on the floor for zones that people should not stray into because a robot will come run into them.

lol they are nowhere near fully automated, I hope you’re kidding.

Why is that unbelievable? Field technicians (Dish Network/Charter/DirectTV, ect) all work very long hours (usually 10-15 hours a day). If they’re not paid by the job (usually contractors are paid per job and in-house is hourly), they are getting 10-20 hours overtime every week. When I worked there, a huge part of my…

Around 30$ looking at ebay now. Being never opened from the box raises the price exponentially. The interesting thing about that is you know someone paying for that would likely never open it, so really there could just be rocks in there and carefully retaped and they would likely never know...

A bit off subject, but isn’t Kojima no longer involved with the game? I thought Konami even removed his name from it?

Does it really matter? The US and Russia wouldn’t go to convential war because it is a lose/lose scenario. Either you lose outright, or you win and your opponent sends off nukes as a last ditch effort (if they weren’t already using them).

Neither of our comments were at all funny. Got it.

I read the entire article and I would like you to point out the part that says he was not fired for speaking on the podcast, because that is exactly why he was fired.

The title is accurate and not exaggerated for clicks and the article is not inflammatory. You’re asking them to censor the article so that people won’t think ill of a corporation that you like?

Did you think I wasn’t being sarcastic?

You can make a joke and still be making a statement. But no, I definitely thought your post was super duper serious. Thanks for clarifying, what would I have done without?

Sort of. Have you seen The Flinstones?

The “Original Sin” is a reference to part of the story, revolving around a “sin” very similar to the Adam and Eve story. You can have multiple games revolving around that same story.

Traditional pre-orders offer no benefit or a crappy tacked on DLC. Kickstarter is an earlier “pre-order” that gives you the game for 20$ instead of 50$ at launch. There are shady Kickstaters out there, but if you do a modicum of research and back proven companies (most of which would give a refund if things fell…

It is actually a great deal for the backers as long as they back games from studios that are nearly guaranteed to deliver (and even then many will give refunds if it fails). If you back a game like this, you’re getting the final game at a fraction of the price, so by “pre-ordering” extremely early, you get the game…

SC2 was designed from the beginning to be an esport. There were a lot of factors that were considered for viewers and what would be too confusing or not easily distinguishable for a spectator. Balance is first and foremost for the players, but viewers are probably considered with just about every major decision.

If you’re that concerned, then time it. Most people don’t a pop up constantly happening in the first 2 hours of their games that most people won’t be refunding (nor want to know how much time is left to refund it). Perhaps as an optional feature, but again, you can just use the stop watch function on every smart phone…

I can’t imagine trolling takes much effort. There are some hotbutton responses that are just garunteed to get someone’s jimmies rustled.
