Perhaps he should file another grievance against the horrendous use of commas in the email from HR.

Well it certainly wasnt that triple AAA Homefront game, and its certainly not their fault because market research indicated strong demand for it on PS3 and Xbox360. http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/08/business-requirements-are-bullshit.html Yegge has a good explanation as to how...

I notice some commonalities: Some complain that its not nice to pick on Russians. Its a fictional story, get over it. If you want a game where the Russians are the best, go play World of Tanks. Others state that the Russians really are the enemy, or soulless killing machines that eat...

I received a suspension in high school (for "skipping class") because I went to the school library and read a book during lunch.
