I get the sense that some HR people (& immigration) look at 'not working inhouse' as being unemployed - mainly because its so hard to prove exactly how long you were *actually* working on freelance. If I was to look at it that way, then I've been unemployed for periods of up to 3 years. Tangent: I got over worrying about…
**The Fire Treatment** The night was colorfully black with a spat of fuzziness. It made the forest look delightfully spooky. Between the trees, in a little glade, three yordles sat by a campfire. One of them was quite elderly but vigorous, he set up his toys around the camp. One was smaller and positively restless,…
Old Wounds It had been weeks since the Basilich Uprising had been put down, and even far from the fortified walls of the capital the Empire's grip had been firmly reinforced. It was not like Ionia. Life here could go on as normal, save for the occasional news of a battle, or someone talking about those who were lost. Riven…
Finally finished this gosh darn thang. Still lots of room for improvement and things I want to add and tweak, but it's time to move on. The scene was designed with a point and click adventure in mind, so this is the angle it would appear in game. I laid it out in a way so that they player would always be visible. The…
My entry will be in pdf when I submit it to Riot; here's the pasted story in case anyone wants to read it. ***** I could feel the purple one's energy miles away, reaching out to me on humming violet tendrils. By the thorned gods, she was fantastic! I was drunk on her essence before she reached the birdhouse, clattering…
I've managed to edit it down to 998 words, JUST under the limit. May edit more, but here's my progress. Will convert to PDF soon. PROJECT: HUNT (Edited Down) “Shit.” Vi gazed at the mangled corpse at the end of the room. She wrinkled her nose when a sickly scent engulfed her. What disgusted her wasn’t the smell of the…
So it's a matter of definition then. Yes, I completely agree that there is a group of pirates who will not buy a legitimate copy no matter what. Be it sticking it to the man, supporting the "scene" or "punishing" companies, they will come up with some bullshit reason to support it. However, I do not believe that these…
IDK if this is the right section to post this, my bad if not, there's so many sections it was kinda confusing. XD; Hello very talented peoples! I am not a game-maker myself, I normally just write stories, but I've had an idea for a possible farm-type game that has been bugging me for a while. I figure there must be a…
Thats typical for me too, I normally work 8hr days 5 days a week with a little OT here and there. Going on 5 years of that and I love it. I'm home by 3:30-4pm which gives me 4-6 hours of family time before my daughter heads off to bed. I love the flexible hours and being able to work from home sporadically, is a great way…
Mot Only did I play Battlefield 2 at E#, I won a Prize at the Nvidia Booth doing it: Here's the post from my E3 Report: [ QUOTE ] We then left Console land, and headed to the main hall (West Hall). We heard yesterday that there would be a contest at the Nvidia booth, featuring EA's soon to be released, Battlefield 2. I had…
