Sure, but realtalk for a moment. I doubt all these community managers do is just community. Maybe I am wrong, but that certainly wasn't my experience. I also had to work on bizdev, marketing, PR, game story, script, dialog and franchise proper.

It wasn't code, it wasn't shaders, but it was hard work, a lot of hours and contributed to both the actual game and the bottom line. One of the things that can be poisonous within development houses is the ranking and hierarchy of disciplines. Breeds resentment and arrogance in equal measure. Healthy dev houses appreciate and nurture all the input - from all the disciplines. That should include everyone from the receptionist to the Studio Manager.

i have a suggestion, since stinkles is reading this thread

get ms to make a controller with a radioactive element you have to hook up to your balls, which you cannot play online without

if someone makes a racial slur or homophobic insult, it heats up and sterilizes them, preventing their seed from poisoning the planet via any potential offspring

it would totally finish the fight

i'd play a lot more halo 3

i have the boxcutter to my neck, tvc

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #83 on:** September 18, 2008, 06:50:46 PM »

chandler was 44 when his first short story, "blackmailers don't shoot" was published in the pulp magazine black mask

so i have five more years

once, i was fishing around behind a bath vanity to clear some trash out of the way, and stuck my fingers into the open end of an empty bottle to get a grip on it

when i pulled it towards me i saw that it was an empty rubbing alcohol bottle with an uncapped and used syringe inside, needle-side facing out, a little bit of cruddy liquid still inside the syringe

if i'd reached any further into the bottle i would have injected that mystery liquid into my finger

i thought to myself, "maybe this just isn't the job for me."

that was ten years ago

so all in all, i'd rather be a community manager

Hooray, Stinkles is here!

hey stinkles i have an idea for a game. it's called "halo revelations" and u play the son of master chief, his name is max (short for maxwell not maximum). master chief is kidnapped by the covenent so max chief must go save him. max chief has many powers because he has the new spartan-iiii armor which is specialy made for kids. gamepalay is like halo PLUS force unleashed. max can pick up objects in the environment and change their shape. like if u are being attacked by a brute you can pull a iron piece off the wall then turn it into a spike with your psychic beam and stab the brute. or if you need to cross some water u can take a rock and turn it into a boat. also there is a outer space battle with arbiter that has very revolutionrery gameplay but i wont post it here because nintendo might steal it for wii sports 2.

if you want 2 use my idea please give me a call but please call after school or on weekends.

Stinkles, I was one of the many distinguished mentally-challenged PC distinguished effete fellows that attacked HALO andn HALO 2 without playing them.

Now that I've beaten Halo 2 on WINDOWS XP I take my hat off to Bungie.

Tremendous work, tremendous series. Excellent gameplay, humour and mechanics.

I just wish Halo 3 got ported to the PC.

I hope you read this post and know that I MEAN IT.
