Although I guess I am slowly getting to striking distance of the resogun vita and geometry wars plats. So vacation is still awesome even if I'm not spending moneyb on shit I don't need. level 5 on veteran, 1cc and human saving in 3 levels all seems doable. geometry wars I'm not so confident.

Resogun I just have 1CC left on. I'll get that tonight and it'll be my first PS4 plat and only completed game for that system for 2014.

Might grab a few more of the DLC trophies. There were some that were simply for creating a ship with 0 of a particular attribute and then beating a map with that ship.

I'm not mad since I've come to accept that stoch will be stoch (although I wish you'd tone it down at times). It's why I like you. I just wish others wouldn't butt in with their faux indignation. You've been jabbing me about that k/d for a while now and I took it in stride lol. Your 57 flawless attempts to my 57 kills, amirite? But as soon as i say something back Killik accuses me being of a "douche". It's the same with the bait nonsense. Shit is exhausting. At least be fair about it.
Enough with that, though. Again congrats on the run. Few people can say they've done it and that's what matters. Hell, even Luke Smith hasn't and he designed the shit. I definitely sent him a message gloating afterwards.

I hear you bro. Took us a ton of attempts because we didn't have anyone to carry us through. Good thing Cro showed up!
 
So last night playing UMvC3 in Arcade mode on Very Easy difficulty, I couldn't beat the last end boss dude.  Multiple times.  I'm using my tiredness as an excuse.  Hope that doesn't make the plat out of reach.

I kicked his ass in like a minute after I switched to Touch controls, though, so there is hope.

Bingo! The sad part is they still make a shit ton of money.

and a sadder fact is, if they paid a little more money they probably wouldn't send so much due to turnover. One of my family members works for a bank and it seems like every month or so a teller is leaving (they find a job with better pay and/or more consistent schedule) and they have to work shorted while they wait for a replacement to be trained.

 
Beat shock and Awe extreme this morning... wasn't that bad.  There is an easy strategy online, just do well in the first two rounds, and then use the explosive gel in the last two and you can get it pretty easily, had 10 seconds left in the last two rounds using that method.  One more Combat challenge and then half of the stealth challenges and the plat will be pretty be much mine.  Happy to get Batman for number 20 since it was the first PS3 game I got with my original system.

Yea entry level IT jobs at my credit union can go to anyone... no experience needed. Then again all that job does is set up computers, printers, and fax machines... a monkey could do that.

Our high level IT guys are a lot better but we have no interaction with them since they work on software and development of new programs for us.

that's not the whole story... the real reason people leave teller positions is the sales! depending on the bank they have very stringent sales goals that make the job very stressful for what it is. Not to mention the fact that you can work weird schedules. I was lucky, worked as a teller for 6 months at Wells Fargo (Worse 6 months of my life) and was able to get a job with the auto division that 80 other tellers applied for (Was a non sales job, Monday through Friday, set schedule). Since then I have moved on to a Credit Union doing the same job but getting paid double what Wells was paying. Teller jobs may have the highest turnover simply because the job and stress aren't worth the pay. But they will never change that because honestly $11-$15 an hour is a heck of a lot better than a lot of entry level positions.

Guys, no offense but I am not talking about tellers or someone that moves computers around. I work with developers.

I think they realize that, but it holds for almost all parts of the banking industry except for the investment banker type positions. I think that is what they are pointing out.

Exactly, and guardian mentioned how Tellers have a high turn around, simply relating banking type stuff... I got what he was saying.

didn't realize there were that many people who plat'd it. i would've waited to try and be #1000. couldn't find a match last night, but this morning i got in a full quick match(8) immediately.

 
So the Target 50% thread has officially turned into a back of hurt for me. I've been to 3 and come up empty handy except for a Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus for Vita for $9.99 which I don't really need because I have it with PLUS but I might just hold on to it as it's a favorite of mine. I think this is why I've fallen out of love with retail stores and the endless hunt. Can't help but think the deals used to be better and more plentiful. I realize early bird gets the worm and all I was just hoping to get some Vita games like Jak Collection, NG Sigma 2, or Rayman Legends for 9.99. I'm sure we'll get those price points digitally eventually anyway. Can't help but be a little envious of this haul though:

What kind of sales goals does a teller have? That seems odd to me...

That's what people don't realize... things like opening accounts, credit cards, savings accounts, loans... pretty much any bank product they have to sell to you to get. The worst part is Wells makes it so difficult to do. Like each person can only get a max of 3 sales per customer. So if you opened a checking, savings, credit card, personal loan, line of credit... that would only count as 3... you had to get around 10 a day, but it's a lot harder then it sounds.

Right, I'm a douche. How do you just skip over everything that precipitated my response? Could you be any more obvious?

And I don't think what I said was wrong. Everyone plays differently - what matters is that you're having fun. That everyone feels part of the team. That's what's so freaking brilliant about Destiny. That people of varying skill, strengths and time commitment can come together and accomplish something cool. Not a k/d ratio (that can be easily inflated, mind you). I really think that's why my team got it on the first try. Sorry if you see it differently but there's no need to insult me for it. Especially when I wasn't talking to you. Hell, Im nothing but polite to you. But whatever. Again, congrats, fellas!

Yeah, all the time we've been talking about it, we were just preparing. When we got it last night, that was really our first try.

Must be a Wells thing. I've never been to a bank where tellers do anything other than handle deposits/withdrawals...usually loan officers handle what you're talking about at my banks

You're just jealous Russell Hustle & Bustle Man Muscle Wilson doesn't have something to tug on the sideline for secret healing football powers.

Nope, he never baits...

Translation in case he REALLY doesnt get why thats baiting.
