Though it's a different industry, I've also worked in a place where not coming in at a sunday was fucking frowned upon ( in my case it was a post production studio ). An average work week was 80+, and more often closer to 7/24 since the management took every single fucking job and scheduled them right after another without consulting any of the operators or artists. I had to literally beg to the owner to turn in my graduation assignment in time. Veterans who were around 30-ish years old looked closer to 50, with a majority of them in broken marriages or relationships. Thank fuck I bailed out when I did, and thank fuck it turned out for the better for me, my SO and my finances in the long run.
So yeah, fuck St John and his ilk. Just a rotten human with zero capacity to benefit anyone in his life.
Well I think if a future Playdate has the same conditions ( 2 seeing the game for the first time, 1 already finished ), it may be better to have the "spoiled" person attend to the chat. It wasn't really fair to Austin, though I think he managed alright for the most part.
Anyway kudos to Alex for knowing his contemporary horror!
Oh man I remember Jeff's TP review, gfaqs boards were on full out pitchfork mode. Probably the first time I've learned of Jeff as well, since I wasn't really familiar with GS or any other review outlet at that time.
It's my personal favourite to be honest. Very excited for what ZeldaU will turn out to be, and I appreciate what SS tried, but among the classic 3D entries, I'd take TP over everything easily. Too bad what we saw from the HD port so far doesn't seem to be doing as effective of a job as WW HD did. Would love to at least have a new lighting system.
