    Well wait, to be perfectly fair what she told me was that she wasn't ready to get involved with anyone right now, which I took as her letting me down easy.

    Ends up last night she was ready.

    That's such a common white lie that it's refreshing when it turns out to be the truth. like someone saying their grandma died and then it turned out their grandma really did die.

    Oh, ok. Not an instance of "no" means "yes", but rather "now" means "at this particular second, but who knows what the next second may bring".

    That Molyneux interview was brutal. Wouldn't it be nice to have interviewers like that in politics?

    The Paxman Howard interview should be the norm for journalistic determinism.

    I think you might really benefit socially from not talking about women and sex.

    I was pleasantly surprised this was Vlog Bros and not History Channel.

Do you know how tumultuous the development of Half-Life 2 was, or the Bioshock games? It's an incredibly common thing in video games, and they are a fundamentally different animal than other software projects.

    They are a multi-team creative work, not a rote commercial application.

    That said, we know exactly what day Thor 3 is coming out on in theaters in 2017, so its not like massive creative projects with lots of moving parts can't adhere to a schedule.

    That mark actually belongs in the 'accurate information honestly given' column.

    Probably get rid of the 'no means yes' column entirely.

    You say this as if it didn't happen on any project at any scale

    Of course you don't go into a project with perfect knowledge, part of project management is dealing with this kind of event and having contingencies when it happens

    With the molyneux projects, the things that they fail on tend not to be this kind of problem, just run of the mill failure to properly scope the project in the first place
