So are these women engineers? I honestly never even though about NASA having much of a presence outside of the Cape, Huntsville, and Houston. If you are all on the same pay grade system, I can understand why you are not wealthy. Cost of living there would be WAY different from those 3 places.

 
So much gaming talk in here today!

Yo bums, I added some more Sublime to my collection with the live at the palace album I found at my used media store. Also got some ziggy, and Kendrick lamar.

Gator, my local bar has no zombie dust anymore :( Drank Kentucky bourbon ale and 312 wheat ale last night. A girl I know from high school just got promoted to a brew master at capital brewing as well!

No I don't pay attention to that usually. Did something blow up?

It's also not surprising to hear that female rocket scientists are well-rounded people that are able to rise above the petty and catty shit that a lot of women let themselves get completely tied up in.

Like clockwork, Ship shitting on PS4 again. Saying the 2.0 update was "bad" even though everything about it is awesome except for one small and non-significant issue with Rest mode, PS4 have CoD install issues even though Xbone is having them too, PSN "constant" problems, (must have missed this one), Evolve Alpha delay (which lasted what, a day?), etc.

After listening to this stuff and buying a game instead of a $15 phone for the GCU it's obvious he's an xbox fanboy and an asshat. Even Cheapy loves to say he isn't a fanboy but is very obviously pro-xbox. I don't really care but why try to hide that you prefer one over the other?

Yupp, I interviewed for a position in my companies HR department, out of 15 employees, 14 are women... I honestly had no chance at it, I asked what they were looking for in the position, and they said usual stuff... just work hard do the job, that was it. I knew I was doomed.

They said I didn't get the job because they were looking for someone who wanted to be in an entry level position and not worried about moving up... in other words, they wanted someone they could hang out with... it is why another girl was hired.

HR is a farce.

Wow, that is a huge step down in quality to those two. Neither are bad beers, but they aren't that great either. I can even get both of those in Georgia.

Tell her to make a recipe for an all Galaxy Pale Ale and see if it is as good as Zombie Dust :)

Yea, my boss asked if I wanted to shadow and do training to try again and get a job in their department and I said no. the fact that it is all women and I was treated unfairly in an interview when HR above all departments should be careful with those things I passed... training in marketing now since that was my degree field.

Yes, we are (mostly) engineers, but the software engineer type. Not the hardware type.

 
Oh and guys I went at lunch and got myself some Gamer's Club Unlocked at lunch. Just when I thought I was done with physical games you fuck ers pull me right back in. A good deal is a good deal though. I also have a super awesome TracPhone if anyone wants one for $49.99...and yes I paid $14.99.

it's super easy, buy a new game play for three weeks, trade back in, repeat... backlog won't grow, and you pay very little.

Yup, that's my issue with them too. I'm pretty clearly a Sony Pony at this point, but I'll admit it. None of those three will admit they are Xboner lovers despite the fact that all three of them clearly are. If they just admitted their love for MS it probably wouldn't bug me as much.

But when they tweet things like Shipwreck just did, totally fishing for controversy and more "I don't get why everyone says I hate Sony" feedback, they just look like fucking douche nozzles.

Yeah I think this will be the route I'll go, and I can still buy the cheap as shit on PSN. Might work well keeping me up to date on new stuff as I dwindle down the PS3 stuff.

same thing with Timbo in all the console threads... always says something that has some anti-Sony undertones, and when you call him out he says, I own both so i'm not biased.... haha

Regardless of SW or HW, they are all people who understand logical thinking. That automatically makes them different from the average female in the work place.

I mean they had the brain power and whit to make it through school to get engineering degrees... the girls you and everyone else are talking about barely made it through state school going to frat parties every night... not really rocket science material.

Yup those were my best options that werent ipas, since all I usually drink are ipas and wanted to switch it up. The barender worked hard to get that keg if zombie dust there and is going to try to get more.

That is a bit of a leap I am not willing to take though. Extremely intelligent women can still be catty when in a group. The same goes for men as well. The way a person thinks has more bearing on that I think. If you are trained to use logic and reason, like engineering and other science based disciplines do, you are less likely to hate your coworker because of some stupid misunderstanding.

 
in the last hour, the plays for COD have gone from 3 to 4... trophy percentages are slowly going up, safe to assume it may not be too difficult... even grindy for day one plats people are getting.

 
I told Shipwreck that he should post all the PS4 and Xbox One issues he hasn't yet talked about on twitter and he responded that it wasn't the right forum for it. I guess it is right for PS4 issues alone, though. That part he has covered well on twitter.

 
For a group of people that claim they do not care what those guys say on twitter, you sure seem to care a lot about what those guys say on twitter.

I don't recall ever saying that I don't care what they post on Twitter, though maybe I did.

But I do care, it's enjoyable to call them out on their stupidity and fanboy leanings and hypocrisies.

 
I wanted to try out the Evolve alpha, I started downloading it last night while playing ACIV but it was kind of on the slow side. Not sure I'll get a chance to play it at this point since it ends tomorrow.

Maybe he doesn't hate Sony, but when he licks the proverbial anus of Microsoft every chance he gets...it just makes him look silly and desperate for responses. He will always use 1 line of snark and never engage in an actual discussion about it. But then he will use the cagcast to mock those that disagree with him and call THEM fanboys.

Ugh, CAGcast. I would probably blow my brains out trying to listening to one of those.

Which reminds me, PSNOTcast #1 should be coming any day now.

 
I guess there is an option developers can add to block scenes during shareplay, as to avoid spoilers or something (doesn't really make sense to me but whatever) but I guess for COD they made everything fall under that "block scene" option.

I'm guessing this won't last though.  Seems like something that Sony wouldn't tolerate from developers.  If it does last more than a few days hopefully there will be a decent uproar from fans. Like I said, I think it might be lifted after tomorrow.  Alphas and Betas are also blocked in this way, which makes sense.

All sounds logical to me.

Pretty sure the only one I listened to was the one where Cheapy told his poop story where he passed out while taking a shit. That was worth the price of admission.
