I caught a free showing of V for Vendetta last night in Berkeley, and I do recommend the movie. I paid to see Ultraviolet two weeks ago, and I highly recommend _not_ seeing that. HEY everybody
I'm very much behind in answering PMs because there are quite a number of them, so please expect several days before a response. I also want to apologize for not being present enough in the Tech... Just a reminder
My job description does not require me to deal with tech support or customer service issues. That's just what I ended up doing as a secondary function because I enjoy helping people. I don't want... Geek Elite
(I'm back from Comic-Con! Forgive the messy writeup. This section will evolve throughout this week as I find the time to elaborate or elucidate.)... Ha.
I passed by a GameStop store by chance this past weekend, and I went in and asked where the game reviews were. They didn't have any idea what I was talking about. I laughed and ran away.... I was saying Boo-urns.
Very enjoyable (birthday) weekend. I ate three cakes and played Settlers and went to the park to nostalgically go through all the playground equipment: from the swings to the rickety bridge that... Dear God...
I don't ask for a whole lot, but please keep all the duct tape that's holding GameSpot together in piece throughout the whole of E3. Thank you. Rob VinceL!
If Tech Support isn't up to par the next couple days, I apologize. I was in an armed robbery one night ago and I had to take yesterday off, and I'm still really shaken up and very much in shock.... There really is no title suitable for a link like this

I think my job would be a lot easier if people read the FAQs, proper tech support threads, etc. before posting in Tech Support or PM'ing me. Granted, the help material is scattered all over the... Snapshot 4: what the heck? yet another look at coworkers

In the employee lounge, there's a snack vending machine that has a huge yellow label that says "Free vend to every 60th customer! It could be you!" But it's in sort of a cursive font, so it... Where's my Flying Car???
It's now 2005, which means we're very much in the future now. It's already way past 2001, with still no Space Odyssey, and even further past 1984, without all the dystopia (subject to debate). In... Dodgepotato
Doing QA work, I've found, is a lot like a combination between dodgeball and hot potato. I've got stuff coming in from all sides that you just kind of have to catch and then get rid of as quickly... It helps that the founder is also named Vince.
Today marks the 2nd month anniversary of my employment at GameSpot. I'm a Quality Assurance Technician, which means that I spend a lot of time mixed up with bug reports and test plans. I've had a...
