    This is the best job ever.

    Too bad I don't fit the requirements.

    I'd almost be able to get a job there...barring the fact that the Pacific and 2 years of my university degree are in the way...

    T: "What languages do you know?"

    J: "Um..." *mumbles something*

    T: "Sorry, didn't quite hear you. What was that again?"

    J: *mumbles*

    T: "Sorry?"

    J: "Java. I know Java."

    T: "Oooooooooooookay. Door's right behind you."

    Jarinor.... You doing a Computer Science degree? I found that.. The first year was a whole load of bull**it about Java..... I just wanted to learn C++... But no.... That's too hard now isn't it? We have to learn stupid Java first.. Then we can piss off everyone who comes to our website with stupid Java errors... Yay!! Lots of fun that is... Oooooohh!! Ooooohhhh!! AND we can make really slow programs as well.

    Of course, the dumb course I ended up doing instead of the degree was no better.... I WANT MY YEAR BACK!!

    Well, somewhere there it says that it's a *highly competitive* salary... so that should be enough for hookers. They don't give you hookers because they don't want you to catch something.

    And the fact is, about the best job ever, is it's still a job.

    Erm, basically, yeah. I'm doing Bachelor of Information Technology, and my major is Data Communications. I'm actually learning C this year...First year wasn't too bad really, however, if I have to do any more work on JDBC-ODBC I'm going to get really fucking pissed off.

    Does that bit about needing mappers with Quake, Unreal etc. experience scare anyone?

    Maybe Troika is on good terms with Interplay and we'll finally get that Fallout FPS we've been hearing about.

    I'm thinking more of an FP-RPG like Arx Fatalis. http://rpgplanet.com/arxfatalis/?action_id=screenshots

    I can't see them doing a full-on FPS... They wouldn't be able to get the people with the skills they need to make something so graphically appealing and so lacking in storyline as to appear mind-numbing.

    Wasn't being serious just trying to bring some old rumours back from the dead.

    BTW did you read on that one site about Sierra talking to 14 Degrees East about doing Arcanum:Tactics?

    Arcanum: Tactics? Oooooohhhhh!! I can't wait! Why, I LOVED Fallout: Tactics.. That game was so much fun! Running around, killing things, running around again, killing more things....

    In all seriousness though... Can you give me a link to the site where they mention this?
