Jᴀᴄᴜʀᴜᴛᴜ - Tʜᴇ Cᴀsᴛ Oᴜᴛ

a quick note to say hell to my fellow Cast Outs, I'm now working for that video game company in london, I found a decent and cheap room 10 min. by train to Liverpool St so a total commuting of 1/2h from my bed to my chair

Now I'm back in London I can start hunting for those SF second hand bookshops and rebuild a small collection...

My computer broke down so i connect at work!

anyway the job is cool and thing are a bit on the upside, which is a change and a good one at that!

Cheers!

Good to have you back! Glad things turn out so well for you.

Best of luck to you and make sure good games are made. There's enough crap smothering the market

Yea! When can we expect a new demotivator?!

Congrats, wish I was off this continent myself...

(Tried Vancouver Island? )

Counts as this continent.


And yes I have, my parents live there. Very nice place. Over the bay they live in you can watch it rain on Washington.

Cool.

'Cause whenever it rains on Washington, BH has a BAD hair day!

That's great lotek, sounds like you've landed on your feet old bean. The best of British!

For some it is a punishment when they don't grow bald.

Some just cut it regularly, run a comb through it even.

How utterly decadent!

well that superduper writers convention course the hack and his spouse have come up with(now don't you start thinking brainstorming here, even the internets has limits to decency)offers some material

Here's for a bad hair day:


Anyway thanks for your support, I know the pay is not great but who gets paid to go through an online game in days when the average player would need years?
I don't mind getting up in the morning for work and to me it's more important

nb: any news from sandrider anyone? Did he rob a bank and run away in the desert or did he stop paying his isp bills?

People with 50 billion dollars cant seem to get a good haircut, so had no
expectation that Brian would be able to manage the mop he has.

please don't mention pinky or/and the brain on my topic about what's great in my life at the moment, it kinda spoils the fun

arf "old bean" i'd never heard that one before

but yeah I did land on my feet this time, an easy job, a loving girlfriend(still in France though), a nice house with cats(that crap in my room, maybe a feline welcome tradition?) and a broadband connection at home too!

Things could be worse(hell they have been worse!!)

That's a "house-warming present".

well they must like me a lot becaue I got two one for each night i forgot to close the door

Perhaps you would prefer a sqirrell with its head eaten off?

lawl i forgot about those weird satanist rites the cats seem to find necessary before bringing the prey back to their proud slave/owners

Which online game are you working on? If you can say, lol.

Is it FFXIV?

nope
and I did ask I am allowed to say the name: it was not far off the mark as it is FF XI

(but I'm not sure what more I can say about it, confidentiality agreement and all that...)

Ah, cool. I played that for about two years before I finally quit...I think it would be safe to say that I was full-on addicted to it.

I haven't kept up with all the changes they've (you've...?) made since then, but it was a good MMO and I'm sure it continues to be.

Keep it up, Lotek- I think it's cool to have someone here that works for my favorite video game company! Can't wait until FFXIII comes out this summer!

Is it age of conan? I loved that game cause I'm a pretty big Conan Fan.

nope it s FF XI
i've heard that AOC was a pretty good game but it was released a bit too early and did not pick up the following it deserved, shame...

right new news, the company has decided to move our offices in EC2 to...


... Wimbledon of all places...

It should happem only in may/june next year(but then again it was not supposed to happen at all so what can you do?)

Shame since I was quite liking to live close to the town center in a friendly house share, but forest gate will be definitely too far to commute so I'll consider moving (again) to an area closer to work...

Bollocks!
