A lovely thought, but I'm pretty sure there are enough young programmers in northern California that they won't feel the need to read resumes from the other side of the country.
You never know. When I applied at SoE to work on the original EverQuest team, I was a junior programmer with no experience in the field, and they still flew me from Texas to San Diego to interview. I didn't get the job, but they still took interest.
Dude, they will at the very least read your resume. The fact that you've been playing the game for X of years may at least get you an interview. It doesn't hurt to try. Of course if there is no way you'd move for the job I guess don't bother.
Is it sad that one (okay two counting MUO) games make me wish I'd gone into programming insted of politics? That and Illinois politics are so damn dirty it makes me ill.
Cyber: If you're actually interested in the job, send a resume. Especially at the junior developer level enthusiasm, intelligence/speed to spin up and fit with the team count for a lot. With the basic tools and a good impression, you could get your break.
If you've never been involved in the hiring process, you might be surprised at how hard it is to find quality people.
Also, I could be interested in LRSF on Friday.
It's not too late! Shit, it's not like politics pays well.
(Senior Poli Sci major here trying desperately to get a job anywhere else but politics.)
Well, don't go tightly wrapping your resume into a gun or launcher of some kind and you're good.
But how else am I going to get it to the west coast?
Politics would be paying me extremely well if I wasn't moral.
But, yeah, I guess I could take classes for programming...or maybe take drawing up again, become a concept artist. I do like the problem solving aspect of programming I just don't think I'd enjoy doing it day in and day out. I'd love building new zones or, even better, balancing and creating powers. The only thing is I'd want to work for Cryptic or...nobody else, except maybe NC NC. I don't have any interest in banging out game after game, I'd much rather work on MMOs.
Saturday November 10th
Sara Moore TF <--Link
Where: The Shadow Shard with occasional missions back in Paragon City somewhere
When: Starting at 7est, 6cst, 5mst, 4pst and going until it is finished..it requires 8 to start but we may be fewer..if so we will borrow PAers or PuGers to start..hell the PuGers can come if they want I don't care. If you could park yourself in Cascade Archipelago near some Nemesis that would be great as the first mission is a Nemesis hunt there. We may start a few minutes later then those times due to trying to get 8 or what have you..be prepared for that.
What: 15 missions. 7 defeat all. 6 objective(could be hidden defeat all). 2 hunts. AV at the end. Mostly Nemesis/Rularuu with a smattering of CoT. This may be a bit off obviously. I have no idea how long this is but keep in mind we did a shard TF Ghost had said was 8 hours long in 3 1/2. So Ghost..let us know how long Sara Moore took you.
It is for levels 40-50 though we will need to work out the sk/mentor thing as there will be 50s.
Why: Because I am total badge whore..and I only have one left to do.
Who: Me...and you...
How: By the collective power of our massive dongs. If you don't have one..then you can count your bewbs.
I am giving a fair bit of advanced notice so you can plan a bit for it. It's 1 hour after scheme night so you can have a bit of a break before we start if you participate in that. Signups are below..do the whole quote thing..just quote the part below this not the entire post.

Alternately, get Sanguine to 45 by friday.
D:
Build a little birdhouse in your soul to house a pigeon to fly the thing.
Also with the merger, wonder what will happen to all the posters promoting cryptic around paragon city and the isles.
Yeah, I've seen this exact situation in a couple games before, and it's a bit annoying. But there was no other compensation in those cases, either, and it wasn't like there was a player revolt or anything. The people who were upset got over it.
I mean, just think of EQ and EQ2 -- you have the option of buying each new expansion at full price, or waiting a while (even less than a year at times) and buying bundles. And there are a LOT of expansions. For CoH/V, it's even harder to make a case to be annoyed... I mean, they long ago released the GVE pack, and were people upset at the newcomers who got CoV for "free" then?
But anyway, Glal's idea of a "I really bought CoV" badge couldn't hurt. (But it's not straightforward... do you give it just for boxed single copies of CoV or for GVE too?)
> turn on light
Good start to the day. Pity it's going to be the worst one of your life. The light is now on.
I'd think NCSoft would keep the Cryptic name around, at least as a brand identifier, like how Vivendi keeps trotting out Sierra's corpse - Weekend at Bernie's-style - every so often.
The only people I feel kind of sorry for are us poor saps who bought CoV for $50 at retail, when it was like $30 only a month or less later.

Also, saying "Positron is AWESOME" in outdoor broadcast will triple xp for the next 10 minutes.
Dear god, how the hell did I go 10+ levels without this?
Time to bump the slider.

Post your blaster's actual name and I'll fix it.
Also that reminds me..does anyone on this list have recall friend?

Oops, I'm sorry, I suck. Alex Vaughny 41 blasterer. With recall friend!
deke55555 what is your global name anyway? Are you in the Penny Arcade channel?
It largely depends on how long it takes me to get settled in on Saturday, it's still uncertain as to whether I can make the start time or not.

3 weeks after i11 drops we can start salivating over bases and pvp and such
The talk that is, Gear's mom isn't that hot.
Even if all the pipe dreams do come true, it's a fact that getting the talent hired & spun up is going to take some time. Maybe they'll pick up the dude that did Battlecruiser 3000AD? That'd be hawt.
