    I actually landed a decent job right as I was graduating, but the company turned out to not actually care about its employees like I thought it did. Now I can’t find a job because nobody is hiring people without the little amount of experience I have.

    I’m $150k in debt right now because of one of these excellent institutions. That’s not even including my wife’s student debt. Unless I win the lottery, I’ll be paying them off for the rest of my life. Good times. Oh, and nobody will hire me. <3

    Not sure which one you were watching, but the championship match was ZvP and it went to game 7.

    Did they fix the bug that prevents us from setting a schedule for when “Quiet Times” is enabled for the Action Center?

    Back in the day (1997 ish) I learned how to drive on a stick shift. On one hand it’s great because you can control when you want to change gears, but on the other hand being in stop-and-go traffic is a nightmare. I’ve been at the point where my left leg felt like it was going to explode from keeping on the clutch for…

    To anyone who doesn’t believe that a) restaurant customers actually go as batshit as frequently appears in BCO, and b) that they never face some small measure of justice for it, I give you this video.

    I think it would be a better idea to make it an optional thing. So for example people who like those mechanics and who can “juggle all those plates” as you put it, can keep it the way it is, or for newer people who don’t want to mess with it they can turn the option on. I don’t know how hard it would be to implement…

    Does it bother anybody else that in the censored versions her top doesn’t match her panties? If a girl goes to that much trouble to look that good, she’s going to have a matching top.

    So far I’ve had terrible choices for my location and it has led to terrible games. I tried my area, but all the roads are curved and it made for a very confusing game. You never knew where you’d end up when you warped off screen. I tried one in New York with the same results. The middle section in this map is the…

    At first I thought he just went a random way when he hit the wall, but the more obvious answer would be that you can control where he goes, just like in pacman.

    It's been fun so far. It's a bit buggy, but nothing game breaking. My only gripe is that there is no windowed full screen mode. I really wish this was an industry standard by now.

    When I cancelled my subscription and never looked back.

    I did a similar test a long time ago, but without the Saran wrap. "Hey guys, do you want to shoot me in the chest with your Airsoft gun from the other side of the pool table?" It probably wasn't the smartest choice I've ever made. It hurt like a bitch and bled a little. Good times.

    Serious question though, what is he using to play that game? Looks like an original NES cartridge in some sort of adapter that is connected to some sort of controller.

    I'm a programmer by trade, or at least I'm trying to be. I've had 1.5 years experience professionally, but am currently in between jobs. Really hard to find programming jobs when you lack the experience. So if you need a programmer......

    Now if I could just find a bored graphic artist to do the game assets, maybe I could get out a couple of decent games. Being able to program but lacking any artistic talent makes it hard to really do anything constructive.

    While the Drag & Drop system in GameMaker is geared towards beginners, it can be used by people of any skill. Once you know what you're doing you don't have to use the Drag & Drop at all, and can just use scripts and code for everything. There isn't much you can't do in GameMaker if you know what you're doing. The…
