I was turned off pretty hard by the tone of the technical interviewer. He didn't ask too many hard questions... most were about Unix Administration shit I was extremely familiar with, then some other Java questions. He just had this, soul-crushed tone the entire time. As well as the only...

You offered him a job just because his dad works in the same industry as you do?

This season will hopefully humble Pizzolatto. Since he got the George Lucas treatment due tot he runaway success of season one, without taking into account the marvelous actors and likely much other input he was getting through the entire process, he was unable to replicate it. Even with...

This makes me damn glad I didn't take the Amazon offer when I was job hunting. Left the Army to avoid such... hostile work environments. They contacted me again here in Austin a few months ago to see if I wanted to interview again for their new web team here.

Going to Spain and Morocco this December with the new lady. Will be in Barcelona/surrounding area and then to Fez and Marakesh. Will be about 6 days in each. Anyone done a trip like this before? I have it mostly figured out. Ryanair is super cheap to get to Fez from Barcelona and I already...

The indoctrination theory made sense because of all the blatant hallucinations, weird dream sequences, and Shepherd muttering to himself on the ship about hearing buzzing and whatever else. Mass Effect 3 was like 75-80% excellent to me. Kai Leng and the ending just keep a sour taste in your...

I still haven't come up with a reason as to why Tyrell would be working with Elliot (if Mr. Robot is a hallucination). What does he gain from this relationship? Tyrell was telling ranting to his wife about Elliot right when he came home and realized the cops were onto him. Tyrell is batshit...

Witcher 3 raised the bar super high IMO. DA: I, which I liked, is outright unplayable to me now. Its true that New Vegas storywise was far and above compared to Fallout 3... But that doesn't mean Fallout 4 will be unplayable by any means. I'll play the shit out of that game.

Big Data analytics wouldn't make it hard to tell IMO. If not a generally shady way to go about it.

I still wonder about that. You had BRILLIANT plotlines with Mordin, the Krogan, the Geth and then... that shitpile. To this day I still believe that the story designers were intending the Indoctrination Plot to be a thing. So much of the framework for it is there. The good story designers...

All of which are limited to geographic area. Austin, tons of people have Tinder and OKC, but since Tinder is both easier to use and can be used on the go very efficiently. It ends up being that more people have it and use it actively. Or so I think. Convenience and all of that.

User base size is what I was most looking at here. Swipe feature is more successful when the pool is larger. Also the idea of managing accounts on like five different dating sites makes me want to puke in my mouth.

The brawls have largely been complete RNG AIDS to me. So much that I despise doing them. Having everything being a completely random effect just makes shit so annoying to me. I don't mind some RNG, like most don't. But when the vast majority of games are won or lost because of shit you had no...

Rent in North Austin for 1BR is just under $700. Without rent control living downtown is $1800 - $2100. Austin is relatively cheap, but I feel that wont last long with the growth rate. As long as it holds anyway. If winters in Boise are not too bad, I might look into living there if tech work is...

Yes, the $30 you save on your energy bill (I pay like $70 in Texas Summer) while paying that $3k rent. ROFL dude. But I am fond of this weather. Oregon Coast!

I'm seriously considering moving back to Oregon (doesn't have to be Portland proper) for the first time since 2005. Been out in the Wilderness too long now. I was in Portland last weekend for a wedding and realized I missed the place. Luckily jobs in my field are also plentiful there!

Move the fuck over Pizzolatto. Also @Xevy. I would agree with you, but the show has showed continuity to the infinite characters theme many times. Like Morty telling Summer that he had buried himself in the back yard and looks at his own grave everyday, the evil Morty/Rick, etc. This makes it...

I stuck to Tinder and Hinge for this kind of thing. Simply too easy to keep ahead of the Queue and wait. But six months after my bizarre breakup I went through one Hinge "rebound" girl (that was insanely kinky and awesome) and now have an actual GF again. It ended up being someone I had met a...

^ It almost defeats the purpose of the show to think that any given episode is a different version of Rick and Morty. The show centers around C137 Rick and Morty and that's that until we see otherwise. Although I will admit it is possible that Morty is a different Morty or some shit, that seems...

Speaking of that, so despite Rick and Morty being from C137, they are currently living in some other parallel that isn't C137 right? Since they Cronnenberged the original one?

Can you get Emmy's for a News show. Or is this not technically a news show?

Eichorst's tears over not being chosen as the vessel for the Master was kind of funny. So I am thinking that the other enforcer the Ancients called in is their "black ops" kind of guy. He walked out in broad daylight too so I am not sure what's up with him. Is Stone-whatever Eldrith Palmer's...

Always use sesame oil with rice! Nobody has ever mentioned anything to me about kimchi at work. But I am certain they are completely ignorant as to what it might be anyway. As everyone near me our office is mostly the We Will Never Ever Leave Texas kind of people... or Indians and a few...

Yep! Better picture.

Some of you might be aware of my Ukraine trip. But while there I went to a cool microbrewery in Lviv called "Pravda." Which apparently means Truth. I bought their lineup and it is pretty good stuff. The Putin beer is called "Dickhead Putin." They like Obama obviously and dislike Merkel for...

I generally put it in Stir Fry with some meat, sometimes not. In this case it is for lazy work lunches of rice/vegetables/tofu/kimchi. Lanx's other Asian Grocery hacks I was well aware of as I go to one regularly. Asian food in all of its varieties is certainly my favorite though. So I am...

So I bought this awhile ago. But it really has been an improvement to my old full-face helmet without the motorcycle style visor. That I originally got to avoid getting kicked in the face. This one also has better mount options available. Hopefully this time it will allow me to not lose my gopro...

Keep the wok, sprinkle tofu with cornstarch, enjoy delicious crispy tofu. Bonus round to add salt/other seasoning into corn starch. Enjoy life.

Whoever the Asian dude in here was who mentioned their Asian way of cooking tofu as opposed to my disgusting white man way. Thank you very much Sir! Vast improvement to my tofu consumption.

Got Ghaz Rilla in a pack the other day. So I've been playing a kind of control hunter with it. Been on quite the streak with it. Nobody seems to know what to do with it or what to expect. I'm only rank 9-10 though. But it is fun to play.

Either an oversight, or intentional so TV fans don't get caught up in one devil being different from the other. The distinction was to differentiate fans who actively read both comics as they were being written at the same time. As the characters are not the same in any way in terms of...

No fucking way. This show just went up about two levels of god damn awesome.

In Constantine, "Satan" is actually a guy called The First the Fallen. Thematically he was The Creator's first creation, but was then discarded for being fucked up and evil. It was written this way to avoid continuity issues with Lucifer/Hellblazer.

Yes, they need to squash the fucking Harvard shtick. It has been five years. Kill it. The mental gymnastics Harvey, Mike and Donna go through is so fucking annoying. Harvey fucks Luis' sister, like a prick, against his explicit wishes so Luis' calls him some names and gets beat up for it...

I hate brawls that take fucking forever to complete. So many Freeze Mages. Fuck that shit, ignore until next week.

Yeah, well I grew up on the coast like that. Maybe I'm just overly fond of it.

Dude, you totally need to read Sandman and the Lucifer series then. Gaiman is well known for using vast amounts of actual mythology within their actual contexts. Never really just using the "theme" of mythology to suit his needs. Although he didn't create the Lucifer series, this is still very...

This is the entire premise of the Lucifer series. During Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. Lucifer questions whether or not he was the one who actually chose to revolt and whether or not he really has free will. Or he was just part of The Creator's plan the entire time. So he absconds from hell and...

Oh they absolutely MUST have a troll dungeon adventure. It wouldn't be Warcraft anything without a Troll Raid!
