Interviews

July 31st, 2008

My department is interviewing for a position that’s been open for a while.  I’m not sure how I feel about it — but I don’t feel like disclosing why. 

It’s a Network Admin position and whoever gets it will be sitting next to me.  It was the weirdest thing when I met the guy they brought in today.  I can’t really explain it, but I just suddenly felt different.  It’s just really strange.

Anyway, I mentioned “making” a friend in an earlier post.  You know — Dunder.  I think the cleaning crew’s been messing with the shit on my desk because Dunder wasn’t where he usually is this morning.  Either that, or one of the dweebs I work with is messing with me…

A new friend

July 7th, 2008

One of my co-workers implied I didn’t have enough friends.  She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.  However, her claim gave me an idea.  I got out the paper, scissors, and other office supplies and “made” myself a new friend.

 

Take a gander:

Dunder!

Diablo 3

July 3rd, 2008

Blizzard announced Diablo 3 last weekend and it’s totally been rockin’ my balls.  So far, only two of the five intended classes have been revealed:  Barbarian and Witch Doctor.  I’m assuming, just as with Diablo 2, they’ll introduce classes beyond the announced 5 through expansions.  I’ve watched the gameplay video and the look is just amazing.

One of the things I’ve always liked about the Diablo games is you could pretty much start ‘er up and go.  I’ve never played WoW,but from what I understand, it’s pretty much a time commitment each and every time you want to play. 

Another thing I liked is they work relatively well as single-player games.  Now, I enjoy good multi-player games as well.  But let’s face it:  most of the unwashed masses out there are either morons or fucking assholes.  To me, the better games will include the option of multi-player play, but will also allow me to have my fun in peace and solitude.

I point you to John Gabriel’s Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.  Simply stated:  An otherwise normal person, granted anonymity and presented with an audience, will behave like a total fuckwad.   Let me tell you, there is a shitload of fuckwads out there in the gaming community.  there are some folks whose sole purpose is to prevent enjoyment of the game by others.  Those people can kiss my ass.

Based on my previous entry, you might submit me as proof of the theory.  You would be wrong.  My previous entry is actually indicative of how I normally conduct myself.  I’ll make no bones about it if you want to call me an asshole, but I’m not proof of the Fuckwad Theory (though, I might just naturally be a fuckwad by some estimations).

Anyway… rathole!

The point here is Diablo 3 looks awesome and I can’t wait for it to drop.

OK. I have something to say.

Chad Youngblut is an ass-hat.  That’s right:  I’m calling you out!

The jerk took the domain I wanted.  Oh, well — I guess this one works just as well.  The place will stay bare-bones for now.  I’ll personalize it some when I feel like it.  I’m not sure how often I’ll deign to share my wisdom with the masses.  I wouldn’t want to waste my valuable time on nothing.

Getting things started…

What the hell?  To be continued…
