Beseech thy lord

[ArchAngel]

That's a game my family will almost always agree to play. And if I recall, I'm undefeated...

[Chozon1]

I've never played it. Want to try it, just never have. XD

Symphony of the night?

[ArchAngel]

Never played. I think the only castlevania game I tried was Bloodlines.

[Chozon1]

Not even the OG one?

[ArchAngel]

Nope. There's actually a good amount of classic games I never touched, or played very sparsely because of how and when I got into certain fields of gaming.

For example: I only barely touched the Mario, Zelda and Pokemon games. Never played Counter-strike (even though I own it).
Because I started with a Genesis, and computer games like Civilization, Master of Orion and Star Control. (Even some Hero's Quest)

[Chozon1]

I started with a NES, but only played Castlevania when I got the GBA remake.

What are your thoughts on Starcraft then?

[ArchAngel]

I like Starcraft a lot. Definitely one of my favorite RTS, both the 1 and 2.
Of course, I'm biologically obligated to, being part Korean.

[Chozon1]

I don't get it.

Platinum?

[Deepfreeze32]

I don't get it.

That shame cloud you mentioned earlier? It's over you right now.


Preferred OS? (And if Linux, which distro?)

[ArchAngel]

Being the gamer I am and that I do a lot of .NET development, Windows 7.

Don't really have a favorite linux distro. I've been liking Ubuntu, though. Thinking of converting my old netbook to it.
I also purchased a Raspberry Pi, so I'll be messing around with either Debian or Fedora Remix.

[Chozon1]

Ubuntu 12.04 reminds me of a Mac OS, for some reason. It's what I use, though I've been considering switching back over to Windows recently.

MP3 players?

[Deepfreeze32]

So I have an interview for a programming job on Friday...any advice?

[ArchAngel]

Deep: If there are technical questions, maybe take a couple online quizzes in some relevent tech.

But most importantly, be confident! Psych yourself up. Before the interview, take some time to relax. Play some of your favorite music to either calm yourself or pump yourself up. Remind yourself that you're awesome and you can handle whatever they throw at you. Then go forth and conquer.

Good luck!


Chozon: I have an old Creative V-Plus and one of those new ipod shuffles with the touch screen. I almost always just use my phone, though, since I have my entire library streaming via Google Music.

[Deepfreeze32]

Thanks, I'll need. XD

Thoughts on this?

[ArchAngel]

Haha, yup. Pretty much. I always found it frustrating when looking up examples for a method or object that they'd be 50-100 lines of set up code. But then, I might find it equally as frustrating if they didn't provide any of the background information, too.
