April 11, 200421 yr Beh. I seriously doubt Elders were any more respected way back in the early 1800s when Eldar was young. Maybe feared; but respected... nah. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
April 11, 200421 yr Dammit, even Vol's scoring points off me. Maybe I am getting old.

April 12, 200421 yr ^-- Oh, yeah? I think they're just out to get me. But then, I think that about everyone. 'Cause it's true, it is. C'mon, guys, two willing UCR students! Eldar even has work experience of some sort in some field or the other, 'cause he's all old and stuff. if they were out to get you, wouldn't you have a job?? The other thing I would say is if you are serious, then keep checking the jobs board, because I'm sure they will post there.
April 12, 200421 yr Author Dammit, even Vol's scoring points off me. Maybe I am getting old. Aww. I'd give :hugs: but this is barren, :hug:less wasteland. Mags - in all seriousness, I don't really expect them to be hiring any time soon, but it would be nice to know if they had a rough estimate about when, or if they'll be hiring at all, etc. Off to the exciting world of food service for me!

April 12, 200421 yr I'm QA for another company. Currently inactive as I'm stuck in a gap between projects.
April 12, 200421 yr Dammit, even Vol's scoring points off me. Maybe I am getting old. ...hehehe...sneaks up on us, eh, lad...dunna let these diaper-wearin' snot-noses git ya down...a bigger number jus' means we be battle-hardened... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way

Maybe I am getting old. ...hehehe...sneaks up on us, eh, lad...dunna let these diaper-wearin' snot-noses git ya down...a bigger number jus' means we be battle-hardened... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... I knew that it must mean something... thanks for letting us know what. :D I like doing the QA part, though sometimes it gets rather boring... but it is still a good way to get your foot in the door, especially if you have skills which can transfer elsewhere.
April 17, 200421 yr I wouldn't mind doing the QA thing. I would love to play games and tear them apart for bugs, plot inconsistancies, and make suggestions how to fix them.
April 17, 200421 yr but are you willing to move just for a job? (or are you close enough that you wouldn't need to?)
April 17, 200421 yr Am I willing to move? HELL FREAKING YES! I have no reason to stay where I am at and I am planning on moving out of Iowa once my lease ends on July 31 regardless I get a job somewhere else or not. I have lived in this state 8 years and its time to do something else.
April 17, 200421 yr Of course I'm willing to me as well, but preferably for a programming job, as thats what the degree will say on it. But really there's nothing to stop me from moving. If I can get a good paying job that I like, I'm more than willing to go there to do it. It's a hell of a lot better than doing a job I hate and staying in an area that really has no impact on me either way.
April 17, 200421 yr I wouldn't mind doing the QA thing. I would love to play games and tear them apart for bugs, plot inconsistancies, and make suggestions how to fix them. I recently talked to a guy who QA:s for Starbreeze Studios (they made Enclave) and DAMN, that guy is something special! He was playtesting Starbreeze's new Xbox game and he could complete the damn thing in around 20 minutes (rough estimation)! If you've ever seen that insane movie floating around on the internet of that guy who plays through Quake 2 in 12 minutes, THAT's how it looked. Unbelievable. Not only that, he had all these journals (well organized too) filled with notes and bugs and fixes and suggestions and what not. If there's an error in a game, he will find it. I've done som QA myself, but it was on a voluntary basis (Endless Ages/There/some others). I don't think I've got what it takes to be a QA professional after watching that guy at work though. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

April 25, 200421 yr Oh, well, I couldn't get through anything in 20 minutes. Guess I'm screwed. You could if it was your job to play through the game all day

April 30, 200421 yr but are you willing to move just for a job? (or are you close enough that you wouldn't need to?) I moved for my current job. After close to two month of unemployment, I was ready to take a job weilding a staple gun at a mobile home plant.
July 6, 200421 yr Author I hope you're all happy that I'm doomed and summer-job-less and surely going to fail at life BECAUSE OF YOU. Thanks, that's all. I am following my fish. A temporary home for stranded ML'ers
