28, girlfriend of 3 years, full time job, apartment, bills, currently waiting to head to boot camp for combat engineer, i is gonna get my arse whipped ^^


23 yearold deliquent with 90% confidence online and 10% offline. Live in a 1 bedroom apartment, and I hate my neighbors in my building as much as they hate me. My job sucks. I sell shoes. My refigertor is broken and I love dragon age.

Did I mention my job sucks? I sell shoes.



There are worse things than selling shoes.  You could work for Bioware and be getting whipped with a cat of nine tails for not meeting content deadlines right now.  Also, chicks love shoes, so you already have somthing to talk about.  I call a confidence shift in your favor, guy.

Now notice he didn't say what type of shoes?

Oh and I'm 34, divorced, datieng a bartender that is 10 years my younger, I make over 100K a year, I travel for my job (just got back from Brazil and about to go to Singapore).   Yah no kids and still half one myself so I love games.....Oh and I love bars.  Since no knew content I think I'm going to go hang out with the girl tonight.  If I'm not on late tonight jokeing around again I didn't make it home.....be good kids....uh adults.Posted Image

While I will never discount the amount of rudeness i'm by now used to see every time there's a delay in the gaming market, If I may, I would say that, while no set in stone ETA is understandable, letting us know if the delay is a matter of hours, days, weeks or months would definitely help make many feel better.
I hope you understand that "there's a delay, there's no ETA, sorry" leaves people a tad wanting :D

Since the breaking of a promised date is what got people so up in arms in the first place, do you think that giving them a timeframe is really going to help?

And I'd like to address a comment to whoever said all the testing should hae been done by now, so how could it be a bug that's caused this? It's actually pretty easy for a bug to cause something like this. Even if testing for a game is "done," there is still a lot of time between "done" and when the game appears on store shelves. While waiting for things like certification, approval and manufacturing, testing can still continue. So, time-wise, testing can happen even when the game is "done." This is how you get things like zero-day patches.

Another concept that people have problems grasping is that software, complex as it is, can almost never be completely, 100% bug-free. That's just unreasonable if you have a product that needs to get released. During the later stages of a project, the managers "triage" the bugs. They make the hard decisions on what bugs can be fixed in the time and with the people available, and which bugs are minor enough to leave in. As the project deadline looms closer, these decisions get harder and harder to make and the bugs that are allowed through are, comparitively, bigger. Really serious stuff like crashes or causing your computer to explode in green Jell-O are given priority, but other things can get through. This is how you get things like software patches days, weeks, months, even years after release.

Finally, there's the "infinte monkeys" factor. Even working at full capacity 24 hours a day, there's only so many things that can be found by the dozen or so QA that projects get. They might have filed a million bugs each during the project, and all of them might have been approved by triage, and they might not have found anything else between "done" and store shelves, but statistically, you can throw a few more people at the game and they will see something that was missed. Add in a few hundred thousand folks with a few hundred thousands different Pc configurations or play styles, and you have that many more "testers." No one likes it, but that's how you get folks complaining about "paying to be a tester." No malice involved or intended, it's just the math.

Not saying a bug did cause any of this. I just thought I'd address that particular question since I knew the answer, and it's a little distraction for all y'all.


Thank you, Stan Woo! (hands you a pineapple)

As a former paid game tester/QA puke myself, these threads full of armchair developers really burn my britches.  It's really tough not to snark all over everyone (sometimes I give in) because I know more than they do about the process.  Hopefully people read your calm and reasoned post and take it down a notch. 


You sound like u didnt even know what a computer was Burn ure britches lol thats hilaroius from like 30 years ago


Amazingly enough, I also know how to properly spell and write grammatically correct sentences.  Something you seem to be incapable of doing, you young whippersnapper!

It's not polite to comment on a lady's age, by the way.  :whistle:

Hahahahahahaha if u ever need help walking across the street u let me know okay? and ik how to spell but typing a few extra letters is hard work

Yeah thats some hard work typing extra letters.

it really is lol same with even puting a period


No, it isn't.  It really isn't.  Shall I explain why? 

I don't know you in person.  The ONLY interaction I have with you is on a forum.  When I read your posts that are written in some strange amalgamation of text/leet/monkey speak with no punctuation or any sentence structure to speak of, I have to form my idea of your personality/character/intelligence level based solely on those posts.

So I look at your posts as opposed to, say, Jennamarae's, and I think, repsectively: dumb teenager who's a product of bad public schooling vs. literate and engaging adult.

That, my friend, is the difference.  In order to prove me wrong, It helps to be articulate.

Well since you think typing in that form is bad I shall explain to you why I do it so that even someone at your old as dust age can understand.For one I don't care how I type im simply on this at the moment to read and laugh at all the people and complain if I must. I don't need to prove myself articulate to you and where does intelligence level come in this what so ever. And I am not just some "dumb teenager" I can type well if I want to which half the time i do not want to.Posted Image

Why not?  No serously, why not?  It isn't a text message.  There are no word limits, nor are there time limits.  So why not type correctly if you can (though I'm still doubting).

Yes, I'm 30-something.  Guess that's pretty dusty when you're 15.

Yes that is very old to me, fifteen or so years thats so many I can hardly even count that high, and Im well aware that this is not a text message if it was to me then i would be abbreviating so much more, and what is the point to fully write out everything when you can abbreviate when you use the word USA are u going to abbreviate or say United stated of america every single time?

While I will never discount the amount of rudeness i'm by now used to see every time there's a delay in the gaming market, If I may, I would say that, while no set in stone ETA is understandable, letting us know if the delay is a matter of hours, days, weeks or months would definitely help make many feel better.
I hope you understand that "there's a delay, there's no ETA, sorry" leaves people a tad wanting :D

Since the breaking of a promised date is what got people so up in arms in the first place, do you think that giving them a timeframe is really going to help?

And I'd like to address a comment to whoever said all the testing should hae been done by now, so how could it be a bug that's caused this? It's actually pretty easy for a bug to cause something like this. Even if testing for a game is "done," there is still a lot of time between "done" and when the game appears on store shelves. While waiting for things like certification, approval and manufacturing, testing can still continue. So, time-wise, testing can happen even when the game is "done." This is how you get things like zero-day patches.

Another concept that people have problems grasping is that software, complex as it is, can almost never be completely, 100% bug-free. That's just unreasonable if you have a product that needs to get released. During the later stages of a project, the managers "triage" the bugs. They make the hard decisions on what bugs can be fixed in the time and with the people available, and which bugs are minor enough to leave in. As the project deadline looms closer, these decisions get harder and harder to make and the bugs that are allowed through are, comparitively, bigger. Really serious stuff like crashes or causing your computer to explode in green Jell-O are given priority, but other things can get through. This is how you get things like software patches days, weeks, months, even years after release.

Finally, there's the "infinte monkeys" factor. Even working at full capacity 24 hours a day, there's only so many things that can be found by the dozen or so QA that projects get. They might have filed a million bugs each during the project, and all of them might have been approved by triage, and they might not have found anything else between "done" and store shelves, but statistically, you can throw a few more people at the game and they will see something that was missed. Add in a few hundred thousand folks with a few hundred thousands different Pc configurations or play styles, and you have that many more "testers." No one likes it, but that's how you get folks complaining about "paying to be a tester." No malice involved or intended, it's just the math.

Not saying a bug did cause any of this. I just thought I'd address that particular question since I knew the answer, and it's a little distraction for all y'all.


Thank you, Stan Woo! (hands you a pineapple)

As a former paid game tester/QA puke myself, these threads full of armchair developers really burn my britches.  It's really tough not to snark all over everyone (sometimes I give in) because I know more than they do about the process.  Hopefully people read your calm and reasoned post and take it down a notch. 


You sound like u didnt even know what a computer was Burn ure britches lol thats hilaroius from like 30 years ago


Amazingly enough, I also know how to properly spell and write grammatically correct sentences.  Something you seem to be incapable of doing, you young whippersnapper!

It's not polite to comment on a lady's age, by the way.  :whistle:

Hahahahahahaha if u ever need help walking across the street u let me know okay? and ik how to spell but typing a few extra letters is hard work

Yeah thats some hard work typing extra letters.

it really is lol same with even puting a period


No, it isn't.  It really isn't.  Shall I explain why? 

I don't know you in person.  The ONLY interaction I have with you is on a forum.  When I read your posts that are written in some strange amalgamation of text/leet/monkey speak with no punctuation or any sentence structure to speak of, I have to form my idea of your personality/character/intelligence level based solely on those posts.

So I look at your posts as opposed to, say, Jennamarae's, and I think, repsectively: dumb teenager who's a product of bad public schooling vs. literate and engaging adult.

That, my friend, is the difference.  In order to prove me wrong, It helps to be articulate.


All teenagers are products of bad public schools. Just look at me. :(

But, really. A little grammar wouldn't kill you. tYpnG LiEk dis wOnt mak u cOol... EspEschuly WeN u sAy tiHngs liEk QUrlS anD qoD instAed 0f girls and god.

Wow. It took me longer to type that than my biology report.

PRO TIP: Grammar = :)
Broken l33t engrish = :(

OMG that had to be the best thing (and the funniest thing) I have ever heard in my life.  However true, being that i was a teenager at one point, grammar comes with practice.  And for some people, it takes a hell of a lot longer to grab a concept (such as grammar).  It's ok really.  I understand that some people just do not comprehend as well as others.Posted Image
