I realize the lack of blog crap, looks, content, etc. Everyone can blame EA and the crazy hours they make us work. No, we can’t sue; we’re paid hourly so we do get paid for the hours we do work. I promise that SOOON I will be able to work on a few goodies for my little space. But until I do, suck it up and deal with it, LOL.

Rumor is that we will be switching to the 12 hour a day, 6 day, alternating weekend days. Actuall, for me, that means 15 hour days (2 hrs lunch/dinner + ~~1hr travel time) plus time allowed to wake up, and more time to wind down after. It ain’t gonna be pretty. On the UP side, I have MUCH to look forward to in the upcoming month (other than the obvious hopefull of the project ending and going gold.)… There’s Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith… HUGE E3 gamer nerd gathering in LA…EAsy Squad Las Vegas trip, pt.2… It’s gonna be a blast! Too bad we couldn’t time E3/vegas better so that we could finish the project, make it to E3, then stay in Vegas for however long we damn well please. Now we gotta rush back to work again like last time. Only this time we MUST be on time as our time then will be CRUNCH TIME! Oh well, there’s still much time to think about it. We still have to worry about where to stay or how we’re eve, gonna get there. I can’t wait!

You’re probably wondering where are my hockey posts… (or not)… you can now find them here: Misfits Hockey ver. 1.0 This is not meant to be posted anywhere else. I will move it if it becomes posted elsewhere.

And that ends another good season. Ending the season at 2nd place isn’t bad. Too bad Brian was ejected for a major penalty within the first 10 minutes of the game. Then we lost Rich, ’cause he had another game. We skated hard, 3-4 near the end of the third period, pulled Tyler for the extra skater, and allowed them to score the empty net. We did a great job of coming back, just didn’t have enough time to finish the job. Grats to Steve for getting credited with 3 assists today. heh. Well, good season, probably our best yet. No sense on thinking about the past. We have summer to worry about now. Let’s win the summer championships!

So, yeah, I went out to the bar on Friday with some co-workers. We met up with my carpool, Scott’s, friends there. So, anyway, at the end of the night, on of the girls goes to me and shakes my hand and says, ”Good luck to whatever you do.” then proceedes to give my other two coworkers hugs and says good bye. I looked at Gemini like, WTF just happened? Throughout the rest of the drunken night all I kept saying was, ”Good luck to whatever you do.” Funny thing is, I do the EXACT SAME THING the other guys do! Diss #1

So, I’m being driven home by Scott and his friend-girl from way back when, and we get to my house and she asks which is my car. I answer, the Mini. She reply’s with, ”What a cute car!” pWnage #2. Then again, she was talking sh*t to me the whole ride home anyway. (playfully of course) but then I’ve only known her for like 6 hours, tops.

I have come to the conclusion that girls just don’t like Adam…

Holy crap what a game. This is how we should play every game, hard hitting and to the point. We really showed them we want the W. I mean, come on. ALL THREE goals of ours were SHORTHANDED GOALS. What does that mean? Just that when the goal was scored, someone was in the penalty box making it 4 on 5 on the ice.

Grats to Byron (2g) and Russ (2a). Grats to JoeB for the winning goal, from Steve. Only one more game, the Championship Game!!! Let’s win it this season! Sunday 4/17 12:15PM Be there!!!

So they’ve gone and done it. :angry: They’re actually going to take away outside communication through email. Sometimes I wonder why they want to treat their temps like they’re not human beings. Sure it’s trust, but if you don’t trust us, don’t hire us. Testers must NOT be an important part of the video game business… I don’t see devs doing all the testing of their product…

They’ve basically taken away everything. No internet, no AIM, you can’t install progs without admin access (So, no games on the computer even at lunch and no PowerDVD… luckly I have to have admin access), no cell phones, no PDAs, no PSPs!!!, they’re thinkning of not letting you bring in your own systems too, NOW no outside email! (someone tell me if I missed anything…) Pretty soon they’ll be taking away all outgoing email including to internal, all you can get is incoming email from your leads or something. I heard a rumor they’ll be taking away the air on the test floor too. Yup, no air, you have to go to another floor, take a deep breath then go back to work.

I have taken steps to make people available on my AIM Mobile List on my primary ”payntball” AIM SN. If you don’t know what it is, or if can’t see me, tell me. You can also email me at phone@mydomain.com. I’ll shut it off or change it if I get too many idiots IMing me out of nowhere.

Bottom line, TESTERS ARE SCUM. :angry:

NOTE: Incase you THINK about flaming me, don’t bother, I’ve heard it all and will delete any flames I feel like. Don’t think for a minute that just because I TEST video games all day, that it’s all fun and games. Remember this is a business, a business to make money. It’s still a job and just think about putting one paper from one pile to another (almost too real of an analogy) for 10+ hours, every day, SIX days a week, you don’t eat, you don’t sleep (because as soon as you leave work it seems like you have to go back), have it ruin your relationship with everyone; then tell me, ”Oh, you play video games all day, stop bitching.” Sure, I finally have income, that I don’t take for granted. However, it’s still a job, a stressfull one at that. So don’t judge if you truly don’t know my situation. (A reoccuring flame in comments in my blog)

I was RIGHT!!! Or actually, Mr. Wong from Rojo’s was. The Wherehouse where I used to work at in Saratoga IS going to be a Krispe Kreme! Oh everyone welcome fatter days! j/k I don’t want to eat there if I can help it. I’ll stick with my Rojo’s wraps. Just hurry up and friggen finish the damn parking lot!!!

Incase you’re reading this and it looks REALLY stupid. It’s because you came here through a link and not from my splash page. Please update links or tell someone else to. If you’re wondering why the change. I was bored and decided to make a PSP semi-safe page ’cause PSP is so l33t! If you didn’t know, someone actually figured out a way to browse the web through a game. Pretty cool…

Yes, that IS Anakin Skywalker in the SW E3 Trailer on the PSP!

Adam’s new TOY!!! Wheeeeeeeee… It’s sooooo purdy!!! Can’t wait until more stuff is out.

I think it’s hella funny how much advertising is out there for the PSP considering how hard it is to find one. I know, they’re just creating hype; just like when the PS2 came out, as well as the PS2 network adapter. It’s still a neat little contraption… Too bad, now, I have to sell all my stuff to pay for it. 🙁 Now all I need is a 1 GB Memory Stick Duo and I’m all set. (You can watch full DVDs compressed on a memory stick!)

Proof you CAN use your PSP as a web broswer.

OK so here’s the puzzle…

I can only tell you these three things: the name of the game is Petals Around the Rose, every answer is zero or an even number, and after every roll the answer to each roll. But there’s a long story so go here:

Petals Around the Rose

Oh and DON’T friggen try to look up the answer online! You’ll kick yourself after you figure out what it is. Also, don’t f’n post the f’n answer or I will delete it.
