I see, going back to where it all started (to end it all i guess). Wonder if they'll find Dennis and the rest of Mr Arnold?
-
Got myself an interview tomorrow, could be a possible way out (hopefully). only applied for the job a few hours ago, had a call back inviting me to attend tomorrow.
-
That's the plan, i'm not leaving without a fallback. According to company policy, i can go on sick leave for 6 months for full pay. So in theory, i could sit the rest of my contract out away from the place never stepping foot here again (only to hand over my pass). I'm strongly considering that part.

I was similar to others, back and forth between different consoles for different games. I'd play a bit on the 360, then maybe jump onto a Nintendo game then some PC. I'd hardly get a game done as it were and built a huge back catalogue. If a game was a blockbuster, i'd focus on that game before heading back to the others once it was done. And in the last year, my gaming has faded. But recently i've got back into it, better than i used to. These days, i focus on one game and i seem to be clearing the back catalogue quicker. In the past month, i've finished Tomb Raider, Dishonored and Twilight Princess. More of an achievement than i'm used to.

I'm hoping too, but i don't see it happening. Looking forward to potentially using the Gamepad as a Pictobox to take the random pictures for the Nintendo Gallery, will be interesting.

In seriousness, they haven't hired anyone new in the department i'm in since December and that was because they were low in numbers (still low in numbers now, hence all the crap that's happened worse now). People leave, no-one hired to replace.
-
Well, they gotta pay them gangsta's innit!!!! (yeah, i'll leave now). They've used actual gangsters to voice some characters in-game and pay various music licenses as well most likely.
-
The final straw is done, i'm leaving my job asap. To be honest, i feel like just walking out the door now and not coming back. We were told that there would be some better work (i say better, it's not on the phones to begin with) but the rest of the job is pretty mediocre. But at least it wasn't on the phone, which is the part of the work i dislike. I also dislike management and many other factors, but hey. They picked out people to do the non-phone work, and i fell into the category to continue doing the phones. I'm not very happy, other people who asked not to do the non-phone work are doing it which i think isn't fair. I know it was random, but i feel like i'm being put into a pile of crap.

Mine is in my sig below, but for those who can't see it for reasons then it is @Jimbobthon. I mainly drivel on about random stuff, this morning it was about "On time Trains". And i tend to retweet ISS snaps, they are so damn beautiful.

Miiverse (A Link Between Worlds art event edition)
Jimbob replied to -Dem0-'s topic in Nintendo Gaming
Don't get me wrong, the Miiverse community is good and it had/has potential. But i dislike the lack of decent comments, it's all "images, drawn words etc" and many people simply saying "Yeah" to whatever decent comments are made. I'm the same, i just check to see what my friends are doing/have done online and i might leave a comment in one of the communities (maybe) -
I do hate Internet Explorer 6, doesn't display images so can't view the glory above. Until however, i check my phone. C'maaan October, come along quicker please. And i got the day off on release (October 4th), by co-incidence honestly. It's a late in work, and i dislike lates.

Miiverse (A Link Between Worlds art event edition)
Jimbob replied to -Dem0-'s topic in Nintendo Gaming
Miiverse is still going, sorry i stopped going on it. It's full of drivel. -
Yeah, that's a little iffy. Gotta be staged i think. Anyway, back on topic.

Five music acts you think everyone should know about
Jimbob replied to The Peeps's topic in General Chit Chat
I don't know any obscure ones myself, but some songs i know are -
It was a decent race, ignoring Vettel. Felt a tad sorry for Raikkonen at the start, but he bought it back by the end. Anyone else getting sick of seeing Vettel always winning, or is it just me. Something i noticed with the Sky commentators today, they focussed on everyone but Vettel. And when they did go to Vettel, a cheeky comment made "Oh, i forgot he was still racing"
-
I can't remember if i was apart of the forums back then, tried a few old usernames i could have used to no avail. But from looking at the site, i can tell we've "matured" since then.
-
Everytime i've had dealings with Shopto, the game has arrived a day before release. Last game i bought was Pikmin, that arrived on the Thursday. So at the least, i'm expecting GTA to arrive on the Monday.
-
I was asked if i wanted to pre-order the top edition when i put an order down, i decided against it at the time. Now i see the model, and i'm glad i didn't put an order down. Getting ready for the game however, i dug out the soundtrack and i also found an original mini-guide i got with the game for free 10 years ago from GAME.
-
Yeah, i got the email as well. Ordered 2 copies, one for me (through Shopto) and one for a friend (through GAME). Had emails from both stating cards being charged early, hopefully means we get the game earlier as well.

The trailer looks a little meh. There are a few issues with the remake i have, aside from remaking the movie. And they've already been mentioned earlier, which are Why does his wife know Alex is Robocop, it would seem she decides to create him this time around. No shotgun scene or acid meltings, shame. Not being dead to begin with, so he has all his memories and his family recognise him (but to be fair, he had them all in the original but was "blocked" from accessing them). He's not a robot/cyborg, more like a chap in a suit (he's too fleashy, Darth Vader'y as i can describe it) What i liked with the original, Alex Murphy was a cop who was killed by a drug gang. He was dead when he became Robocop, and had a total body prosthesis. It had it's own feel to it, and it looks a lot better. Yes i know, we said the same with the remake of Total Recall and look how that turned out. Here's hoping (and i'm being over optimistic here), that this doesn't suck.

This. Sounds the most logical solution to the problem that could arise.

Gamers - What Are You Playing At The Moment?
Jimbob replied to Fierce_LiNk's topic in General Gaming Discussion
Still polishing off Dishonored's main story, then i intend to get the DLC done this weekend as well. Then maybe, back onto Assassins Creed III to finish the DLC before GTA V arrives the week after. -
Beat Comerade 3-1 today, 4 chances to his/her 7. I went out with such a weak/youth midfield/offensive line-up as well, a good result all the same

The smart move would be that the Xbox One detects from your old gamercard/account on the 360 that you already own the games and allows you free access to play them again. But as you mentioned above, this is Microsoft we are talking about.
