game-related lolz of some fashion

TBH people who complain about that stuff and work in the game industry are like, the same people who wanted to be "idea guys" to begin with

word, but there are plenty of really talented grunts out there with no grand designs getting worked to death. stressful field.

I feel extremely nerdy right now for recognizing that Doom level

http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/25191-japanese-se-shareholder-sells-25000000-in-stocks/

On October 7th, SquareEnix's stock price on the Tokyo Stock Exchange underwent a precipitous drop in price. It is rumored this was due to a private stockholder selling all of his investment in SquareEnix -- approximately 1% of the entire company -- after citing profound disappointment over the failed release of FFXIV.

Interestingly, on the night of October 2nd, a private investor owning more than 1% of SquareEnix company stock made an odd post on the internet. The post read:

"First thing in the morning tomorrow, I intend to instruct those who manage my precious SquareEnix stock (however little it may be) to arrange to sell all of it. To Square, thank you for the enjoyment of your products up until now, with the exception of this last one. Goodbye."

Serious wide eyed lulz

OMG the comments are amazing

"I should also add that he kept pushing and pushing and pushing for stuff in our game that would get us an Adults only rating, even when it was obvious that there's no way in hell we could afford to sell a game like that. Stuff like a giant spider raping a female npc, or having sex with a female nazi officer right in the intro. I wish i was joking."

I'll hold my hand up as someone else who recognised the doom level str8away. it's a good one!

Whoa those Ignition comments! What a meltdown.

"The Wednesday prior to the Monday corporate visit, Paul, probably seeing that shit was going bad for him, got ridiculous drunk late the night on the office premises, wandered around, urinated on things, and threw up on one of the building entrances before passing out. Then reflexively sucker punched someone who tried to help him up. This was caught on security cam. He never showed up to work the next day, by that afternoon though almost everyone heard what had happened. Friday, our internet goes down for an hour and a very anxious looking paul steed immediately afterwards calls a meeting and makes a grand show about how he believes our internet was "SABOTAGED" and that he would personally look into the security camera footage to find the culprit. Of course most people saw through his plan to get his hands on the security camera footage, too bad for him it had been seen by HR the previous day"

wow

holy shit this dude went from normal every day villainy to cartoonish super villainy

The man would walk into the studio completely shit faced and make creative suggestions that he would completely not remember the next day and would ask you why you made those changes. He asked me once "Please make this cave entrance look like a nice juicy wet pussy" he was completely serious with this request by the way.

I don't know if these are actually "lol" but I felt they should be shared somewhere.

wow.

gonna add my own Oscars-ready slow mounting applause clap for that Doom gif

The only other thing that breaks the monotony are the events that occur between levels, in which other Marvel characters show up to move the plot along, like the Kingpin... who rates your brothel and upgrades your clientele based on how well you decorate. Again, that's a pretty good fit for the character. After all, I'm almost positive I saw him rating interior design at least once during the Ann Nocenti run on Daredevil.

wtf is this

The reviews on the manufacturer's site are not so much o_O as yawn predictable.

The Ball was *Disconnected from Xbox LIVE*

Chris Hardwick of Nerdist.com/blogcast/websoup fame posits that 70s/80s filmic depictions of "nerds" had far more to do with the designee suffering from as-of-yet-popularly-undiagnosed Aspergers rather than just your standard nerdy predilections.

That ignition story is amazing. I wonder how commonplace such behaviour is in "the industry"? I do get the impression that it could teach the music business a thing or two when it comes to shafting creative talent.

The clips from the game on youtube do look impressive, I must admit.
