Programmers can't possibly test all angles of a game, and thus rendered worlds contain endless possibilities for illogical displays of physics or horrifying examples of human capacity. I only bring this up because I was forwarded this hilarious video.
Then I recalled growing up being amused at several of my own discoveries, like:
Finding out that California's La Jolla Golf & Country Club has a playable parking lot, good news for those with an (intentionally) wicked slice.
Finding out that programming identical keyboard controls for a two player computer game of Contra makes for a doubly powerful single player game.
Finding out that Liberty City has a particular intersection whereby you can fall through the nexus of the universe, only to land at the exact same point many seconds later.
Finding out that a ranking military officer, created to be invincible in order to give you instructions throughout a level, can only withstand thirty gunshots and direct grenade hits before he dies and dissolves into thin air.
Finding out that without a fridge and any mode of exit from a house, a Sim's last, desperate call to a pizza delivery service will be tragically ironic.
Yup, an entirely fruitless job search.
I'm seriously looking to work at EA burnaby this spring. We could use a man like you on the team with your breadth and width of experience.

p.s If those knobs you've been seeing don't know what a 165 pound walking pile of potential looks like, the only one losing out is them.
I second B's note... well, his P.S. comment anyways as I have no contacts at EA... *sigh*. That would be a cool job. Anyways, yeah, don't give up on that search... hard work and persistence pay off. The others are simply not worthy of your intellect.

p.s. Figured you'd like that video, I tried to replicate something similar in GTA but the cars are just to heavy. Either that or the physics are more realisitc.
p.p.s. Your a 165 pounds?
Well, I have been working out lately.
ReplyDeleteGod, I am fat. 175lbs.
