I just got out of jail, and after nightly beatings by the guards and an incident involving a few convicts in a mud pit, I’ve clearly learnt nothing. So quickly! Before I’m locked up again!

In Other News: That game that nobody remembers has been delayed, Blizzard is experimenting with matchmaking, Gears of War will still be Ultimate on PC and Nintendo had some crazy Christmas parties in the 1980s.

Here’s the news that we didn’t post today, because we were too busy tickling the president whenever he was in parliament.

    Honest question:

    I started up Binding of Isaac back in the day and was immediately uncomfortable and didn’t want to continue (I attribute this to being a parent).

    Does the game redeem itself later somehow or is it intended to make me uncomfortable throughout?

      I haven’t found a happy ending yet. I enjoy it though. Fun game but the setting is very dark.

          Ours is also Friday, but only top management (and their buddies) by us get invited to the year-end function. The rest get to hear how much of a good time they had.
          I really have to get a new job.

            Yeah you really need to get a new job then! All our departments always get together every year. Thou I never mingle with them. I stick to my people.

            November 23, 2015 at 17:02

            that does not sound like a year end function to me, then. Inclusive and commemorative of the whole year, looking at everyone’s contributions and recongnising that each and every person in the company is important and each has a place in that great cog that turns, in success and failure.

            Oh, sorry. the nice lady says I need to step away from keyboard and have my medicine now. Hmm. and supper served already.

          • Alien Emperor Trevor

            November 24, 2015 at 07:41

            Because they’re my favourites but they never want to give them to me. They don’t make me sleepy like the apple jelly ones do.

          • Captain JJ never changes

            November 24, 2015 at 07:02

            Haha. Yes, I know. Unfortunately they have a very “old school” way of working around here, as everyone who is not top management is pretty much just a number, except of course if you’re friends with them.
            So I don’t see it changing any time soon.

            November 24, 2015 at 07:37

            I agree. Completely. The sad thing is how people always find it difficult to believe when I tell them, because from outside the company everything looks so great, but inside it’s very different.
