It's project based, and/or contract based, depending on what I'm doing. It's hard to fight a steady full-time environment for this line of work.

I'm only fully unreachable from the outside. There's still inside distractions.

Sounds like my kinda gig. I love not being available to be bothered, especially when I'm off in my own little world and busy. :p

So, you mentioned going in and out of employment, so I'm assuming this sort of work is project based? Still pretty cool though.

I'll be reachable, just not directly. And only my mom and my emergency contact are getting my project lead's direct line. No one else will be able to reach me otherwise, unless they go through these two people.

So you shall be unreachable, I see.

Well, as I said on the Facebook, congrats.

I didn't shoot the video last time, and no.

Strict security protocols. We're not allowed to have backpacks, bags, cell phones, data watches, iPods, PSPs, MP3 players on the test floor. I basically only carry my Activision issued notebook and pen and a basic wristwatch. And my lunch, but that goes into the fridge when I arrive.

Do you get to shoot videos of you dancing there?

I don't get to go to E3, but the Nintendo 3DS was last year's E3. I could have gone, but I decided not to. Instead, I will be at one of the launch parties, but that depends on how I feel tomorrow.

There's other industry events throughout the year.

But, I have unemployment to fall back on if I wasn't employed. I just prefer to be employed because it helps my resume rather than having six-month holes in the chronology.

What was really funny. I actually got an e-mail from him. O_o REALLY I DID HERE IT IS.

Hi Sarah!,

Thanks for the inquiry.

We've been talking about doing something like that for awhile but have been unsuccessful in reaching the appropriate people within the USO to make it happen. Do you know who we should be speaking with?

We always try offering things to local military bases wherever we perform. We get many requests from brave soldiers telling us what big video game fans they are. It would be awesome to perform in front of them.

Let us know your thoughts. Who do we need to contact?

Thanks,

Tommy Tallarico
CEO/Executive Producer/Host

The original message was about USO shows. XD

Edit: I got his AIM too. he has an AOL e-mail address.

I hate Tommy Tallarico and Video Games Live. My friends and I had tickets in our hands, then boom, tour canceled.

Cool.

You should check out Video Games Live then Xeo. They have that right there =P

But Stitch that's awesome. On top of that you found a job in this economy too.

That kind of sucks you'll miss this years E3, looks like it might be a good one.

Even though I have no interest in the Nintendo 3DS or anything 3D entertainment/gaming related at all. Or 360 Natal / Sony's Move junk either.

Traditional games please!

Frame 'em or something.

That's epic, man. Although, I DID threaten to beat a kid with an Ultimate Spiderman case... Does that count as homage? I was angry and disgruntled about it too. Just how you like it. Angry and disgruntled.

Yep. I also get a free copy of each game I work on, so I have THAW and Ultimate Spiderman. I don't play them often, but at least I have them.

I don't work for the Blizzard division. It's Activision side, so it'll be an Activision title. Which means, my name will be in the credits again!

Developer History for me on Moby Games. They compile this, I don't create it.

Shit.

That's awesome, man.

Yes, I've downgraded to simple, caveman speech. It's reserved for when I REALLY think something is cool.

I know you can't say what title you're working on NOW, but as soon as you can, PLEASE do so. Odds are, I'll be selling it in my store, and I would very proudly sell/promote it. Even if it's WoW. I'm not a WoW fan, to tell you the truth. Mainly for the reasons you stated. I don't have the computer for it, the money to aquire said computer, or the patience to play as a lvl 1, or whatever, while everyone else is at the lvl cap, and killing me all the time. And I'd rather play other games. Simple as that. XD But you said Activision as well...so I know WoW isn't the only possible title you could be working on.

In any case, I'm very, VERY excited for you and I wish you all the luck in the world with this.

Lost in the semantics. Her prior job was mentioned, not her current jeaorb. She'd have to clarify that in a reply or another thread, because this thread is ALL ABOUT ME! [end tantrum]

Okay, I'm good.
