Let me get that deck by end of business, I’d like to see a 50,000 foot view to outline the strategic priorities. Don’t try to boil the ocean here, some back of the envelope math should work just fine but we will need to do a deep dive later. I have a hard stop at 6 so I would like to review it by then, in fact, maybe…

I have a hard stop at three, so we’ll need to put a pin in that and come back to it.

As someone that has worked in IT for a long time, there is one use of jargon that bothers me to no end.

Especially working with people that networking is a huge part of, if not the entire focus of, their career.

This reply synergizes well with the article. I really like how you drilled-down into the list.

Both are real-time reflex and skill based competitions in which strategy, teamwork and individual skill all meet to see which team can accomplish an arbitrary goal within an arbitary set of rules more completely within an arbitrary time limit.

The premise of these kind of articles always involves some level of obtuseness from the writer, as if they are incapable of understanding why people might root or cheer for something, anything really. It’s a pretty basic emotion and feeling, and one has to go out of there way to claim they don’t understand this basic…

This article comes across as unbelievably patronizing and you successfully push people who like sports into a box with every possible bad stereotype connected to “jocks”.

Hasn’t this type of article become cliche yet? I don’t understand why people get emotionally invested in X. Then oh wait I’ve found X to get emotionally invested it and now I understand that people are irrational and searching for any type of connection.

Nah, it’s pretty much right on time. Did some research a while ago and the average time to death for studios that EA acquires is around a decade, most falling within 8 to 12 years. Bioware is at 11 now, so they’re right on time

I’ll be that guy.

This is some crazy shit. I wonder how someone with that kind of ego and sense of self worth will respond to being told that they are objectively less famous and in demand than Chris Rock.

Also, negotiating fees is literally the job of your agent. If you’re pissed about what you got paid, you might want to start…

Our local cops and firefighters cash out unused sick days when they retire - usually in their mid-40s. They usually get six-figure payouts and call the funds “boat money” because lots of them use the dollars to buy a boat. I guess that’s my my property tax bill was $12,000 last year :-(

That petition will get filed just above ‘Airlines: Please add more room’

well adjusted people don't give dirty stares to children for the sake of being a dick

I hate kids. I've hated kids since I was a kid. As I've grown up (I'm 26 now), they can be barely ok in small doses once they're old enough to talk, but as a rule I still hate them.
