Wolferz Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 You tell 'em DS. LOL One odd note: I didn't see a review for BCM on that site. Are they still working on it? Hopefully they will spend enough time in game to give it an accurate diatribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grayfox Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 for some odd reason the whole "standing next to the water cooler talking shit" reference made me laugh so hard i think i pulled a muscle... hehe im easy to entertain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mej023 Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Great interview Derek. One question I didn't see that I would like to read the answer to is, "Is your current lifestyle everything you dreamed it would be?" (You know, making your own schedule, doing your own thing, not having to get up and shower, dress, drive to freakin work, every freakin day...)

ShoHashi Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Good write up! I, myself, like those long reads! I hope you don't tell these interviewers too much or there will be no sense in buying a copy of "SC-The Official Biography!"

(You know, making your own schedule, doing your own thing, not having to get up and shower, dress, drive to freakin work, every freakin day...)....there's a good reason it wasn't asked. It is a silly question. Since I have the power to change my life, why I would be stuck living a lifestyle I didn't like? Most people don't seem to realize that its not as simple as it sounds. Working the way I do, is just a very dangerous lifestyle because you spend more time working that anything else. e.g. I wake up usually around 6am, depending on what I time I went to sleep. Even if it was at 3am. If I had a lousy job to go to, you bet your ass I'd be calling in sick, or going to my grandma's funeral for the umpteenth time that year. But since everything I do is at stake, I still drag my sorry ass out of bed (or the couch) and go to my office. The result is you end up working longer and harder.

At the end, we work longer and harder, as SC perfectly said. But i must add that i work also as supervisor for a multimedia company which is not so near to where i live (one hour and half flight) and i got to be there often to check a lot of things... and... well people... it's hard. But i like it And about the interview... SC, a beautiful one! I liked it very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanethian Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Jerk: "So you acknowledge you see yourself as a "Gaming God"?" SC: "Only if you acknowledge yourself as someone who can't read and comprehend what I wrote. I'll be waiting..." SC, this is the best answer you could give to that jerk... damn, you are really a gentleman... i would have mass bombed his email for a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Still reading the interview, but so far so good as far as I am concerned. Give 'em both barrels SC!! LOL Sorry about being AWOL for the last 2 weeks, went to Seattle and did some of the most serious job hunting of my life. It was SUCCESSFUL!! Got an Inside sales manager position in the electronics industry, and gonna be starting on April fools day!! So I am back for the duration. The stress is off of me now, I am employed and a happy camper. Being unemployed for 6 months with no income can stress you out to the max!!

I've always loved the agrument of "rights vs. abuse of rights" with free speech. You give an inch, half the idiots in the world take a mile. I hope that's changed to an extent, to actually make the net civilized at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
