    alif49 got a reaction from Pulsus in Choosing a Career   
    As evidence to back up my recommendation: I got into the banking business through a referral from a friend. It was that referral that gave me the "in" for an opportunity to show what I have to offer in an interview i.e. my moment to shine. Without the referral I probably would not have been considered for an interview, based on my schooling and work experience. I am very fortunate and lucky to be doing really well for myself and it was the best career choice I have made thus far. Again though, none of it would have happened if I didn't know the right person to give me the "in" that I needed. Getting that "in" is not easy with every one around you having the same or better credentials. People before Paper. That's the best advice I can give you.

    I was interested in computers and game design all my life (especially in High School). Ended up studying Human Biology and Evolutionary Biology in University. After years of work in the medical field I am now a banker..... Motto of my story? Your career path will change in high school, and then two more times in University and then once more after the work force. Different stages of life require demand different necessities (money, work environment, prospects for promotion, social status, work benefits, pension etc). One thing that has always remained the same is my passion for tech and music. Regardless of what my career was and now has become, I have managed to keep my passions alive. That is what is important and that is what you should strive for. Also it is never about grades, certificates, degrees. What matters is who you know, the social connections you have made and your drive to achieve what you desire.  My 2 cents. Best of luck on your endeavors!

    alif49 got a reaction from MyLaptopSucks in Thoughts on the new intro   
    I like this intro much more than the one where you pop out of the box. The visuals are excellent in this one. The only thing I would change is the section of the "Funky Sundays" song that is put in the intro. If it has to be that song then try a different part of the song, perhaps a less over-the-top segment. If it can be a different song then get the boys to make some and have a community vote.

    For my old laptop, I had to keep it in the freezer in between gaming sessions because it used to overheat to the point where it shut off and wouldnt turn on until the temp came down which took hours if it wasn't in the freezer. How ridiculous is that? Mutha F'in Toshiba in the Mutha F'in freezer! In the summer, the laptop would go over the AC vents and I would basically have my back crunched over gaming on the floor!

    alif49 got a reaction from brownninja97 in If Gaming went Netflix   
    I was about to mention OnLive as well. There was so much hype about an OnLive Console and how it is taking over the mainstream video game setting from the PC desk to the couch but what happened in the end? It tanked. Sure there were multiple issues like lag, connection problems and maybe it was ahead of its time but I am pretty sure that there were other non-conscious factors involved in OnLive going south. For example, what makes it differ from Netflix is there was not a constant stream of appealing content that kept the members interested. For example, being an FPS fan, I never even demo'd any MMO or platformer titles. Conversely, I love action/thriller movies but when I am done watching all that Netflix has to offer I may watch a horror or drama just to keep myself occupied. Games require large investments in time which is the reason why venturing into different genres is quite rare among gamers but it is quite common for movies and TV shows. This really limits the content that players are appealed by and hence, a subscription service will not work in the gaming world.

    Ask Onlive how they are doing, a company will not get profit from this.
