grats on dinging that job d00d.

Fuck you forever, (name of project)!

My project is FINALLY FUCKING FINISHED.

Jesus. The last two months of my life have been crazy. Filled with more OT, more corporate bullshit, and more stress than any other. But it's finished! God Damn!

I cannot even begin to express to you guys how relieved I am to have this thing done with.

I'm at home and the sun is still out! Holy fuck!

This is my first significant project where I was in a management position. Normally in QA, you get tired from the long hours at the end, you're sick of the product. But at the end of the day, you find a crash bug the day you're supposed to ship, it's no big deal. But this was different. It was my project. Every bug had me wondering how we could have possibly missed this stuff before. Sick days, nah. Optional overtime, no. I mean I could skip out. But it was my show and my ass on the line. At the end, I still liked the product, but I was actively sick of it. Today when we were trying to find final stop ship bugs... I may have ignored a couple of things that I saw. Whereas normally I am the most obsessive compulse bug writer of all time.

At this point I'm so happy to be done. The only thing that would ever induce me to go back in tomorrow and work on it more is if I heard about a bug that would blind any kid under eight or something. Even then... I might not go in.

I got the afternoon and tomorrow off, so I'm gonna hang out, drink beer, play video games, and possibly check myself into a mental asylum.

Monday I start working on the patch.

D'oh.

Genius!

I don't read the blog for 2 weeks and rudy becomes the comic genie. Genius!

Yeah, you can count me in Lil' Skittle. That's a new nickname I just invented. Don't know who to use it on, so for now Eric is known as Lil' Skittle. Cuz u got all them fruit flavors! Don't read into it guys, inside joke... literally INSIDE (like in the bum.) Yeah, obviously I'm working very hard at work right now.

I'm off tomorrow so if we can get some daytime gaming in, give me a ring. After dark put a fork in me, cuz I'm done! Meaning, I'll be playing WoW or working out at the gym wishing I was playing WoW. Meaning meaning, I'll be PLAYING WoW, wishing I was at the gym, while lifting jelly donuts to my face in a curling motion simulating working out, dually satisfying my workout craving and jelly donut bukkake fetish. Wearing a diaper. Strung Out will be playing in the background the entire time.

*taps mic* IS THIS THING ON!?

CC:E Design Kit!

So I registered with GMT and the creator of CC:E as a potential scenario designer! I have a few pages of documents that add points values and whatnot to the units and equipment and some design hints, as well as what they are looking for as far as "Battle Pack" themes, which right now is Paratroop stuff, but for Battle Pack II they want Russian v German in and around Stalingrad. Awesome!

Rudy! We gotta get some scenarios played and made d00d!

Warhammer Quest

I recently "found" a CD with .pdf's of EVERYTHING ever made for WHQ!!! The Orc expansion, the undead expansion, every character pack, all the White Dwarf articles, all 3 treasure packs (though I own those already), as well as hi-rez scans of all the bonus tiles and cards included in the expansions, and WD articles. Not to mention pdf's of the original rulebook and adventure book. So cool. I'm thinking of making a Mega-Tome of everything and getting it spiral bound at Kinko's along with totally printing and mounting all the bonus tiles, and printing the cards out, then mounting them and sticking them, and all the other dungeon and encounter cards in sleeves to make them all look and feel uniform!

Hooray! Now, if I could just get a game in sometime...
