Finished binge-watching BoJack Horseman.
I just wanted to laugh today, but towards the end, i felt like crap.
Didn't expected a cartoon like this would make me feel this way, which is a good thing. Hits me so freaking hard.
Go watched it if you haven't. Pretty short and definitely worth of your time.
I'll second that. It starts off looking like a standard Adult Swim style animated comedy and then shifts into a bleak character study of a self-destructive narcissist with the occasional dick joke to lighten the mood.
Been sick for several days now, yuk... Guess I was overworking myself too much ( which is sadly a common thing in our industry ).
The positive about this though is that I will finally be able to venture further into the abyss of Bloodborne

Yes.
Started off laughing at all of the animal jokes, and then suddenly WHAM!! the more serious drama started and kick me right in the urethra.
I can relate because i've done lots of bad things in the past, whether to myself or to the people around me.
I just hope that it isn't too late for me too..
A chance to join Blizzard, specifically on Overwatch, slipped through my fingers as the Headhunters called me 2 weeks later to say Theyre moving with another candidate.
If I count correctly, it's been 12 years, since I was a 10 year old in South Korea playing Starcraft Brood War, that I wanted to join Blizzard.
I screwed up. I screwed up one of the clearest, near recent chances I had of possibly joining not just Blizzard, but Overwatch of all things. I'm running through my head what I could have done differently with the on-site interview because that's the only thing I can think of doing since my body is not letting me grieve.
All I know is that I am sad and deeply disappointed in myself, and I am angry because it feels like the good Lord decided to play a cruel joke. But I can't be angry at anyone but myself.
Literally let a childhood dream that I truly cared about just get stabbed at the last moment.

Man its Blizzard, they have probably been inundated with applicants so I can't imagine that would be an easy role to get, I doubt its anything you did wrong, this is just part and parcel of the industry and we have to roll with it.
Secondly, the fact that you had an interview with Blizzard is truly a great accomplishment in itself... and you should be really proud of that. Really, not a lot of people in this profession can even say they have had the opportunity to speak with them. I know its galling for this stuff to happen, but there will be other opportunities that turn up. Pick yourself up, dust off and keep going!
Yeah man, I know that feel. I had something very similar happen to me a few months ago. It sucks but you need to look at it that they contacted you. Work on that portfolio and just hammer away. I don't know how many people Blizzard contacts, but I imagine it is a somewhat short list. At least that is what I tell myself as I sob uncontrollably while eating ice cream.

I'm trying to remind myself of that. It was so serendipitous looking though before hand. Certain people being gracious enough to let me into the GDC Blizzard Mixer, and then finding the exact hiring manager for the position I was directly eyeing, and then being contacted for an interview. I thought it was going to . . . resolve for the better. It feels so weird when one of the HR people remarks "It's been, what, 5 years since you've been here last? Sounds like a sort of homecoming."
Perhaps it all just means, given how much experience I have, I'm in a decent place and I just need to keep on working and waiting till I can join a team on their endeavors. I want to thank everyone who did get me this far, though. I wonder where exactly I'm being led and walking towards.
PyrZern - I have had this loads of times. I think over the years, say from 1996 to present day have been contacted maybe a hundred times and only 1 postive outcome
maybe they just get paid for how many calls they make

Recruiters for the larger studios have quota's they need to meet in most cases, just like agencies. They will contact a lot of people knowing full well that they won't get the job with the aim of getting them to register interest or make an application, because if people are not applying, then it looks as if they are not doing there job... It's a shame really.
That's .... lame.
Companies don't want loads of newbies to spam-apply and get recruiters to handle the work. Recruiters spam them with applications they wouldn't want anyway.
Been made redundant on the 13th from assitant manager pos. Staff meeting today where HR & Area manager, my manager (<- all female that way, all male this way ->>) + all staff from 2 shops are coming in for a meeting.
My manager has already been removed from the system. HR told her to stop being sensitive when she couldn't log onto tills and do manager level access jobs. A As-manager left 2 months ago, her tags still work. Load of incompetency issues stemming from poor upper management and no reason for anyone to hold their tongues Dressed nicely in a suit, (casual smart normally), bringing some popcorn and watching the fireworks.
Whoops this is what made you feel crap today. Oh god why did i click the NSFW image... Hope you get well soon Joost
People are taking forever to reply , my applications get rejected and my parents always peck on me for "sitting in my room doign character after character"
None of the "interestees" ever get back to me after I give them my quote.
Also got rejected from an application , again.
Last month I was euphoric because things started to take form a little bit but now all that optimism is just gone.
It just kills me inside , but I gotta keep doing what I do I guess , has to pay off eventually.

Wait, so you`re 22, and had an interview at Blizzard? that is in no way something you should feel bad about... At i think 25 or 26, I got my fastest rejection letter ever from blizzard... You`re still really damn young in the grand scheme of things. I have no doubt in my mind you`ll be at Blizzard at some point in your career.

Thanks, Stefan. I'll try to keep that to heart :-] Means a lot to hear that from a veteran Polycounter.
Not a veteran polycounter but
Yeah panda don't give up ! You had an interview, you were THIS close to get it, you're 22. IT IS AMAZING.
They didn't take you, not because you weren't good enough ( you pass the 2 hard parts, portfolio and interview, that mean you were good enough for blizzard, CHEER UP YOU WERE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM, IT'S AMAZING They liked both your work and your personality. Some people doesn't even get a rejected notice for their portfolio) but because someone else was better, maybe he was that much more better, or maybe it was a small thing, but in any case you should be proud to have been so far. Just keep working like you do and next time you'll be the better guy !
I'm waiting for my work space get done, so in the mean time I'm not interested to do anything, and it makes me feel like I'm wasting my time, I'm getting nowhere, no move. Crap crap
Applied for a position as a 3D artist,They said I need to improve more.
That I don't mind I get that allot ,
So I replied if they have some advice or things what I can improve.
Only thing I got back maybe it is a better idea to learn/study something else.>_<
Spend an hour and a half on recovering my harddisk's bootmgr this morning when I started up my computer. On the good side, I managed to get it up and running, on the bad side I will be paranoid for the next couple of weeks, wondering if my harddisks are about to fail and how many backups I should make. :P
Miscommunication with a thread I started caused upset among posters. They see me as a cocky teenager probably now.
It is Friday and raining like hell outside.
I overslept and missed my morning exercise. Feeling slobby.
T- 14 Armata tank just stalls during a parade. Possibly worst case scenario for a new piece of military hardware that is entering service. I really liked that tank.

I hope it's just that she's overworked herself and is experiencing a bad migraine headache. We'll have to wait and see.

Keep going! The work on your portfolio is awesome you don't suck its just the prop that sucks for now.
You see, it's always meat games; when something goes wrong with the games industry/culture/media it always ties back to meat.
