It's not that bad.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!
- Thread starter strawman
- Start date
So my company, in fact my department, is in discussions to work on the next installment of a popular video game series. Like, multiple GOTY awards, that kind of popular. In the interests of complying with our NDA, I won't say what game or series it is, but trust me when I say there will be millions of people playing it.
Why am I whining? Because even if we take the case, there's no chance of me working on the game personally. The job involves knowing simplified Chinese, as well as colloquialisms and slang from Mainland China. I'm from Taiwan, so I can't do it. I could've had my name in the credits of a game played around the world. Millions of people could've read dialogue and narration written by me. And now it won't happen.

It's so nasty! I hope it's over soon. I want to show it off! I bought a cute shirt.
One word: bribery.
hmmm.
Fallout: Nanjing would be pretty awesome, but I doubt it.
Jade Empire II would be even more awesome, but seems even more unlikely.
Deus Ex is still in production, I doubt they'd suddenly start a new installment already.
Firefly: the MMO would no doubt use Mandarin, but the odds of that happening are low.
Metal Gears of Halo: China Edition?
You are on the way to destruction. You have no chance to survive make your time.
In my defense, when I wrote that I was drunk and it was mainly on a bet.
Wait hang on, lemme check my Zero Wing NDA, I'm pretty sure it's expired, but better be sure.... oh crap can you guys all sort of pretend to forget I ever said that?
Tonight's the first true night of Mountainfest, a weekend where 60-80K bikers descend on Morgantown. So naturally not having any rooms for 50 miles in any direction is MY fault when you show up at 2am with no notice.I gotta go back to work.
Our camping forecast is looking pretty cold and rainy

You know what Tumblr needs to stop doing? Stop ordering me around. Stop telling me what to do because what you assume 1) you're right, and 2) everyone else is wrong.
You know what, Tumblr? Just stop assuming. You're the reason people resort to notallwhatevers hashtags and the like.

Maybe you just need to stop listening to tumblr.

Every time @GasBandit updates his status, I'm more and more "his kind of people." 
*lifts up the hood and checks the engine*
Ah ha. I see what the problem is.
You went on Tumblr.
Isn't this dangerously close to being tagged with "old man yells at (the) cloud"?
Okay, cool. I am stalking you.
Actually, I saw there was an incident at U0F and wanted to make sure your were bueno.
