I always thought GameStop was one of those mirror-test employers.  That's pretty indepth for sitting around talking about vidjya games all day.

As for your experience, I'd put it down.  Sure.  Anything helps.
Well, I've never worked in an office, and the only other place I've worked was a packaging plant, which I guess is useful for a distrobution center, but I was looking at a retail position.

And for software, I've never used MS Office, except for today when I printed the application out, but I can tell it's pretty much the stunted rape-baby of most every piece of standard Windows softare that Windows comes with. And I can learn new software pretty quickly.

They don't?

I mean, show me a single game with a multi-tile choppable trees. They are not silly. Look, most trees are almost as wide as humans. And don't forget that they grow UP, and we look on the ground level. If you mean multi-tile in z levels, it could be fun.
RPGWorld(old thing) has multi-tile choppable trees, although the base of the tree is the only part interactible with(IE, collisions, the part the axe goes). You can still hide "behind" them.

D.

Also, yay I'm a kickass old guy.
Better than a 16-year old girl who stalks a Davion mercenary halfway across the galaxy.

Life Advice / Help on a job application
« on: May 26, 2010, 01:16:05 pm »
So, I'm filling out an application for GameStop, and so far I've got everthing... except the part labeled "Office/Distribution Center Skills / Software Knowledge". (and References, but I can take care of that)
It's got three lines: General Office/Dist. Center Skills, Office Machine/Dist. Ctr. Equipment Knowledge, and PC Software Knowledge.

What exactly is it asking me? My "Software Knowledge" is pretty extensive, but I think it's bad taste to put douchebaggy laughter followed by "Are you sh!tting me?!" down on a job application. And since it's a retail position I'm applying for, I don't know how or why distribution center skills are going to help. And would it help that I'm certified in the state of Florida(I live on Long Island, by the way) as a Data Entry Specialist with an input rate of >240kpm(it's gonna take some practice getting that up) and accuracy >90-95%? Or at least I was, last time I checked.

If you ask me, the ayleid ruins have the most interesting and varied level design in Oblivion, at least the ones I visited. The Planes of Oblivion on the other hand, now those are boring, repetitive and pointless. I soured on the whole game after closing 5-6 gates.
Yeah, the Oblivion Gates quickly became a nuisance when

What'll be really cool is when we have a PC emulating a console emulating a console.
If you get a SNES ROM of Super Mario All Stars NOT THAT I ENDORSE THIS ACTION you might actually have that. Or N64's Pokemon Colliseum, which most certainly had a GB Color emulator.

I also love being able to beat Zelda: Majora's Mask in the first three days (not counting the ones to get your ocarina) using sequence skips and stuff... or at least get the hookshot before the forest temple.
Err, isn't Ocarina of Time, not Majora's Mask?

I found a ship's distress signal on a planet. I went in to check it out, thinking they might be in serious trouble, or at least, already dead with plenty of stuff to loot. Turns out, they converted their ship into a casino. After a game of Roulette, they kept badgering me to play another game. I finally got out, but when I went back in, they told me I was banned.

This game needs orbital bombardment. >:(

Kingdom Hearts, play through only using the Kingdom Key. I'm doing it in KH2, except for Synch Blade. So far, I'm only being stopped by Xaldin, but he's always hard.
Haven't tried it for the first one, but I'd guess it'd be harder, partly because most of Sora's MP comes from his equipped Keyblade. I've noticed from my current run that damage isn't much less than when I equip a stronger one.

That's... a nice tree, actually. Better than mine(see below).

Here's some stuff I've done:

Surely it is possible to import icons from outside of Dream Maker?
It is. 32x32 BMP and I think PNGs only.

I've got a few leftover icons I made. I'm actually pretty decent with small object graphics, and modifying existing graphics, but I suck at pretty much everything else.

It said a convoy was destroyed or something.
Initially, there's some evac of the building that blows up. I think you're supposed to protect the firetrucks or the building behind the blown-up one until the helicopter come in, and then protect the helicopters. I think I use a Medium for that mission.

I think I accidentally blew up the news crew one time. Whoops.

Didn't see this thread before, but...
Spoiler: Yes, I copy/pasted from the thread I put up before knowing this was here (click to show/hide)

All of them use stock sections(resized often, of course) and weapons. The only things modified were ship hitpoints and speeds(and weapon attack zones).
As far as balance goes, there isn't much. I tried to accurately reflect the abilities of their GF namesakes. Left out Leviathan(it's taken by the game) and Doomtrain(didn't feel like it). Of course, there's also no Odin, Gilgamesh, Angelo, Chicobo, Phoenix, or Griever, either.

@piecewise, 12 days ago: Well that's gonna impact fps.
