Honestly, i don't believe the recession was ever that bad. I think it was alot of media hype and generally, Some people would rather Suck the unemployment devision dry. There are jobs, Some are required with a college degree. But there are also alot of classifieds in the Local News Papers. You see, back in 2008. i tried all year to get a job, But called up a place i used to work for and they hired me back on the spot.
I actually filled a position that wasn't taken. You'd think people would try a little harder at filling all of the spots in All jobs if a recession was that bad. However, some of the people that are in this mess are the ones who also contributed to it.
I don't feel sorry for the people who maxed out credit cards and decided to try and live a lifestyle that can't be achieved with a paycheck to paycheck job. I'm debt free my self. I'm paying on a car right now and i'm not getting many hours at my job, mainly because of the manager that works there Favors certain employees over others.
But I'm not paying for my car with the banks money or a financial institution. I just worked a deal out with a local dealership. Honestly, I'm a spender at best, but i will never spend money i don't have.
EDIT: Oh and it didn't stop movie sales and game sales from sky rocketing. and People from buying booze every weekend.
" Comcast + GE + NBC Universal The BIGGEST media company ever. Thoughts on this? And how would this affect NBC? "
Well its a good thing i don't watch television anymore. To be honest, Comcast's G4TV was the only thing i watched before they decided to ruin it and Get rid of virtually every program consisting of gaming on there. Just gives me another reason to stay away from TV knowing that NBC belongs to comcast.
As you all may know or not know, Today was the official release date for the Sony Playstation in Japan. Yup, December 3rd 1994.
While it wasn't my First game console. It was certainly starting to become my favorite when i was a lot younger. I owned a Nintendo 64 at the time and i was amazed at the library of video games that the Playstation has. Sure, the nintendo 64 was a powerful Gaming console at the time. But the Cartridges Had limited memory and The expansion pack wasn't used for a lot of games. But lets talk about the SonyPlaystation some more, its was a great game console. I have fond memories of playing Games like Metal Gear Solid, Ehrgeiz, Gundam Battle Assault, The Final Fantasy Series, The Twisted Metal Series, Spyro the dragon and crash Bandicoot, Soul Reaver, Syphon Filter, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and so on.The music feature was pretty cool at the time, It was fun to watch the psychedelic Screen while listening to a CD. Wow, I've got memories with friends on that one.
And wow, i was surprised by how fun and useful the Dual Shock was when i was younger.
However, The death of my brothers playstation soon came when he ordered a Import video game. DragonBall Z Legends. He had bought a device called a game buster that allowed him to play imported video games. The spindle ended up falling apart and the motor underneath it couldn't take another beating. Eventually, he tried to repair the thing but No signs of life and it was time to let go. Eventually, I got to purchase my Brothers Playstation2 which introduced me to many new games.
Honestly, i enjoy all video game consoles now. But the playstation2 was fantastic back in the day, it had a line up of so many anticipated sequels and just great games. But it is a shame to see Sony lose personality, I'm talking about mascots. I think game consoles Need to have mascots or some kind of character. Its like rooting for your high school football time in a way, But it seems the newer generation of game consoles Aren't the same. You really can't bring up a specific character when you are describing the playstation3 to someone. Maybe kratos Maybe Ratchet and Clank, Maybe Jak and Daxter. Don't even get me started on Laura croft. She has to be the worst example of what happens when you Go too far with a character.
Honestly, i love video games and all consoles. But I'm not getting the same kind of fond memories as i did with the last two generations. All i see is corporate greed and micro transactions. The last great video game i played as of recently was dead space. But i guess the point of this topic, Dispute the fact that it was rushed. Is that we don't see colorful characters anymore, Most of these companys Went down hill. i think its all focused on the Hardcore gamer. Really i have no clue, But this generation of gaming just feels lost to me, What are your thoughts?
" People are free to do what they want. If someone considers it a bad choice, maybe eventually they will learn from their mistakes. Its nothing for others to really be concerned with, and it definitely isnt some overall legitimate criticism of all american women. "
Maybe too many parents act like children them selves, and maybe they are letting their kids do what they want so they will stay out of their hair. Most teenagers are emotionally confused and they go to extremes just to feel Some kind of emotion. Not to sound emo, I hate that word. But where i live, women will do anything it seems like. Just so they can cuddle and depend on a individual. A lot of them are also followers, and it doesn't help to be spoiled. They act like they are allowed to run ramped because of little to no responsibility. Parents need to Man up like seriously. I'm just ranting here.
@GunnBjorn: I don't really know, i'm interested in knowing this myself. And apparently, she is a Cancer Survivor. @Vito_Raliffe: I nearly lost it when you mentioned my spelling mistake. Oh my god, i feel horrible. i said half. LOL
" I half to give her credit tho, she seems like a optimist. That's actually kind of cool. "
Is that some kind of joke, you inconsiderate bastard! "
Huh, no. i am saying she has the guts to do these types of things. seeing that baseball bat seems creative for some reason. She is making something Good out of it rather then being depressed. She seems like she has that "Don't care what you think" attitude.
