Worst Boss Ever

booty — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:38:59 -0500

I've never been shy about my dislike for my boss (Curt, as I like to call him). In fact, shortly after I started with my position, a coworker and I invented a game called Keep Away From Curt. The goal of the game was to avoid contact with Curt for as long as possible. The person able to hold out the longest wins.

Before now, the longest streak on record was 2 days, 3 hours with no calls or e-mails or awkward cubicle visits.

As of now, the new record is:

21 days without a single spoken word to me
36 days without a single e-mail to me

The Golden Age of FMV Games (part 1)

densy — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 17:46:53 -0600

The 1980's is widely considered the golden age of arcade games in the US. The newest games, the best graphics – it could only be found in the arcade. Classics like Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Tempest and Galaga were born in that era. It was also the era that gave us the usage of real video in videogames. Dragon's Lair is the prime example of this development in technology. They are/were often criticized for their lack of interactivity. Why use a linear technology for something that is more or less defined by interactivity?

The Last 6 Months in 10 Minutes...

booty — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 18:06:34 -0600

I keep meaning to write a real blog but life here has just been so crazy! I'm sorry for being a sucky token female blogger -- by now, GNN should be flooded with emo, self-hating posts about shitty bands, declarations of love for Johnny Depp, and recipes for cupcakes nobody will ever make.

In any event, I've been busy. Here's what I've been up to:

1) Travel: Georgia, Pittsburgh, the UK, Berlin, Denmark, Paris, Belgium, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri, some places more than once...

2) Work: Still sucks...
