This is true for a lot of higher level corporate positions. That being said, not easy to get great i-banking jobs, less easy to land solid PE jobs after that. The MBA is a little easier if you score well on standardized tests and/or have the good i-bank/PE background on the resume beforehand.

Can't protect everyone. But there are various laws that could be pursued depending on the situation and country involved.

Yeah, seriously. Whats that saying about insanity, that its the definition of doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results?

Every time we accepted a job offer, we were offered promises of stability and plenty of funding. We were told about the "project after this one," and no offer was given as temporary, or "for this project only." Instead of companies asking us if we'd stay for the long haul, we began asking them instead.

Thanks. Now I know who not to give even a follow to for supporting the travesty that is Obamacare.

I'd be willing to bet a bowl of borscht that I'm more likely to be a Martian than this person is to be any kind of scholar or teacher in any subject, let alone this one.

Ah, you're a scholar on the subject. This admission actually explains a lot.

Thank God there are a few sensible people on this site. It's a shame that your words will fall on deaf ears. The average person commenting on gawker sites is more concerned with agendas than facts.

I think that this is a restrictive view on Reformation — Capitalism comes from Enlightenment idealism, which had roots in Reformed thinkers but ultimately generated a variety of ideals such as liberalism and individualism, which made way for laissez-faire economics. So, Locke and Montesquieu are more responsible for…

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME I HAVE TO SPEND THE NEXT TEN HOURS GRINDING FOR GOLD AND LEVELS.

The corporate overlords took a page from the communist playbook though, figuring out that fi you simply brainwash people into thinking the society works, they'll just keep working. Socialism really is the only solution. Sure it's not perfect but it beats the extremes of capitalism and communism.

I've always thought of video games as inherently capitalist in nature, especially RPGs. MMORPGs are essentially capitalism simulators, though depending on whether they're theme park or sandbox they have state sectors of varying sizes. I'm surprised there isn't a school of Marxist thought analysing video games as a…

And what success would that be? Apart from having a kill count most diseases would envy?

You are the political equivalent of a Christian saying that the bible is a message of piece and that everything done by the Catholic church has nothing to with the material it is based on.

It helped a bunch of Europeans keep their national flags, so there's that.

Exactly. I'm not willing to pay 100 dollars for a game if the developer think it's worth that much. Heck, I've stopped paying 60 dollars for games around 3 years ago (thanks to Steam sales and my huge backlog).

QUOTE | "We're trying, as an industry, we're trying so fucking hard to just be fine. We talk about our successes and our achievements, but we shun mentioning our failures." - Vlambeer's Rami Ismail, talking about what's right and wrong with the game industry in a recent blog post.

But like with many of the red-lined imgurs and conspiratorial posters that have fueled this controversial group for the past few months, all it takes is a little digging to uncover that this week's big GamerGate freakout is based on half-truths, flimsy evidence, and claims that are, at best, totally misleading.

You know I was seriously disappointed when this gen began that so much emphasis was being placed on sharing game moments and social media nonsense but I really do like the video sharing feature. The xbox especially, being abel to save footage of an ultra combo or a funny dragon age moment with a simple voice command…

Couldn't agree more with you. This game was such a disappointment. I don't know where Bioware went wrong, but they went from meaningful, interesting, often times amazing side quests, lore rich locales and loot, tactical, challenging set-piece combat to... Well, what feels like a single player MMO, complete with elf…
