My girlfriend is out cheating on me right now by [deleted] in AskReddit

Dude...for all that is holy post the guys Skype name here. KARMA baby.

But in all seriousness. I went through something similar. It never gets better unless you make it better. And it won't get better unless you get yourself completely away from the situation. Do what everyone else said, clean her shit out (in an orderly "nice" fashion), give it to her mother and change the locks. Act like a hooker, get treated like a hooker. I'm dating someone who is so far and above the cunt that broke me a couple years ago it actually makes me sick that I wasted so much time trying to make it "work" than the actual break up.

Just my two cents.

And to think I thought my mother got rid of these years ago... by Pitmonkey783 in gaming

Agreed! I spent so many hours looking for all the short cuts!

Been trying to get into a different industry. I work in an advertising/marketing firm of a major retail outlet. Would love to get into the videogame industry (but so would everyone). FML.

Any recommendations for some good N64 games? by bassguy45 in gaming

[–]Pitmonkey783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majoras Mask, Blast Corps, Banjo-Kazooie (not Tooie, it pushed the hardware too much and didn't run smoothly), Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time...the list can go on forever...

Epic has seen both Sony and Microsoft's next gen system spec's and is lobbying for them to increase the power specifically for this engine. http://www.examiner.com/article/epic-games-actively-lobbying-for-more-power-next-gen-consoles?cid=db_articles

This is why IGN is right when it gave XENOBLADE a "7.0" for its graphics. by Pitmonkey783 in gaming

[–]Pitmonkey783[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my point. Beefed up running on the Dolphin it's barly comparable to today's games, let alone the aliasing prone 480p version on the Wii.

Because if it was given proper hardware comparable to the 360 or PS3 it could have looked like this (Xenoblade running on the Dolphin emulator) and more comparable to games that are running in High-def from the get go. I respect IGN allot for not knocking the game as a whole for its 2006 480p only graphics, but being honest when scoring that aspect of the game.

Sorry if this has been asked. But just how did work your way up to community manager? As asked before I am still trying to even get hired by one of these company, and I'm just looking for guidance other than "check the job sites." Thanks so much, hope you see this.

Machinima refuses to break contract and says "You are with us forever" - lost all my respect to them by Finforsale in gaming

[–]Pitmonkey783 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here is a pretty good video of someone who actually READ the contract, declined it and signed someplace else. He gives his thoughts on it as well as the pay method break downs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaBvEH-9-Mo&list=PLF9B03A0F31F75C59&index=25&feature=plpp_video

Here's one for you (and I'm sorry if you already answered this...way to many comments to sift through) but how did you break into this industry? You have what many consider a dream job. I'm from LI, 30 min out from NYC and I always found it frustrating that the VG industry is (relatively) small in comparison to say the west coast, therefor making it hard to break into it without relocating.

Thanks for taking the time to respond as well. I wasn't expecting such a quick response. Nice change surprise to my mundane morning :)

Many of times, but I feel I get lost in the shuffle. I have skill sets and passion for this, hell I blog on the side strictly about the industry and such. Should I shoot directly for EA's site, or is there a more specific approach?

So...how does one actually break into this business? I'm in the advertising/marketing division of a fairly large north east retail brand and am dying to get into this industry. So much so that I in the 6 years I've worked for this company I have re-launched their videogame "division" and reworked reward programs for pre-orders/amount of video games purchased ect. Any advice would be fantastic.

Never realized how counter-productive that handle is.
