welcome. everything I write here is something I felt to be important to some degree; game reviews, life updates/vents, and philosophical musings. I do my best to make my statements truthful. everyone is welcome to post comments, provided they are relevant.

i just got this, or something just like it. be on your guard, the junk e-mail's afoot.

ah, shit.

so my computer suffered a severe brain hemmorage. a large number of files became damaged, including system backup files and the registry file. after running scandisk to repair the damage, windows boots up with a grey screen and an arrow, like a stroke victim that can only move his eyes. the only solution was a complete frontal lobotomy - format C:, re-install WinME. I'd have done it myself sooner or later, but I would have liked to back-up some files.

luckily, my long-term storage is on the D: drive, which only reported incorrect free space count. However, the kicker is that my in-box and address book is now empty. there were a lot of e-mails I would never have deleted of my own volition, namely from those involved on the Dr. Muto project, and players contributing questions and answers for my walkthrough.

*sigh*

i didn't make the cut. but I wasn't outright refused. I just need more real game design background.

and on top of that, one of my friends actually suggested I quit my job because HE didn't like it. and he isn't even in the same job. he says the tech support place (read: idiot help line) he works for is still hiring, because of an increase of call volume. I would ask what they would do with a decrease of call volume. That said, i would ask if he thinks he'd still have a job then. Furthermore, I don't see much room for advancement, or flexibility of working environment.

why aren't I saying this to his face? because I just thought of it. And, he'll probably spout some more shit to try to get me to change jobs. I LIKE MY JOB. that said, Shut The Fuck Up.
