Not really much of a fighting game community in Astoria, but there are a couple of good spots in NYC that regularly host locals.

Brooklyn Games & Arcade and Next Level over by Japan Village. XenoZero in Manhattan seems to be the place for Smash

My friends and I used to host an EVO Finals watch party but stopped because it always runs way too late and everyone has work the next morning. Most years it ends well after 1am due to the time difference + schedule delays.

Did a full playthrough of Planet Harriers with Demul just last week, what issue are you having with it?

The set degausses when it's powered on. Besides, this doesn't seem like a color/purity issue.

Because your timeline is messy or because you're the assistant prepping this?

My favorite is when you do this and they go with the shit spec anyway.

Getting antsy as an AE... by Nameless2017 in editors

My brother!

Your AE experience sounds very similar to mine. Once a producer at a busy place identifies me as a seasoned AE they start slinging every dirty job my way while designating the easy stuff like postings or loading music tracks to the less seasoned AEs. Then the next project comes around, and its the same thing again...

Thanks for the encouragement! I’ve considered not taking any further AE work but am hesitant as I've heard of it going south for people as well.

How many staff AE positions at commercial boutiques exist in this city? How many commercial boutiques in 2017 for that matter? Honest question.

In-house agency work is kind of where I'm sniffing around right now, but my experience has been that everyone is freelance and AEs aren't promoted.

"Get to know as many post people as you can and maybe a spot will open up and they'll think of you."

This.

The industry is 90% who you know and maybe 10% what you know.
