  1. What to look out for in employee contracts

    If something isn't completely clear in the contract, have the wording changed so that you do know what it means. Process the text as if it was source code, if it's ambiguous or vague, there's a potential bug. Also, if they promised things during negotiations, have it written down. Promises mean nothing if it's not on paper. Remember, the company is not there for your best interest. Don't accept a non-compete clause, it can put you out of the market. As for signing off ownership, make sure it explicit states that it only covers code written during work hours and for your employer. You probably also want to make sure that payment terms are explicitly mentioned in case of a start up. You don't want them to freeze your payment because they have bills to pay.
  2. The E3 Retrospectapalooza

    When is E3?
  3. Recently completed video games

    I finished You Have to Win the Game with 80.08%, in an hours, with 283 deaths. Some part were really VVVVV while other parts were Knytt.
  4. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    It's amazing how terrible I did.
  5. Talking about retro look games. In Syder Arcade you can choose between a lot of different shader effects to emulate various old systems like CGA, EGA, VGA, C64, Spectrum ZX, Amiga, etc. But most of them really make the game terrible to play.
  6. Recently completed video games

    Today I finished Dead Island So this should be Borderlands 1 with zombies. Just like borderlands it became tedious before I reched the end. Actually... it started to become tedious in act 1. From act 3 and further I was just trying to get to the end as fast as possible. Pretty much all quests were stupid fetch quests. For variation they added babysit quests which of course was annoying as usual because of the suicidal AI.

    I suffer from making too many mistakes.

  12. I think the Dragon Age in-game DLC advertisement was worse
  13. I just played some You have to win the game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/286100/ And I think I'm actually stuck already. There's no way out except to get past some wizard which is shooting things which kill me instantly. I have no special abilities yet. Edit: nope... my bad. This game is just hard. VVVVV hard.

    I guess I missed the black market because I visited the haunted thingy. Stupid yeti used me as a tennis ball.

  18. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Man I'm screwing up things the last few days.
  19. Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.

    It's a common misconception that the sleep button makes screenshots.
  20. Shadowrun Kickstarter

    I've been playing the game since the flash sale. I'm a bit disappointed on how empty and linear the wold it. I'm not that far yet, but so far it's quite ok.
  21. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    The Roddy Piper vs Keith David scene is awesome
  24. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I'm sort of proud on how I killed myself. At the last minuted I figured that arrow would be blown away and hit me, so I better jump away. Well...
