G.I.JOE

THE RISE OF COBRA

You are a G.I.JOE and the team is counting on you to lead the counter attack against Cobra. Too bad it will not be developed for the PC and utilize the Crytek or Dunia engine. It’s based on their own that will get the job done; but it’s not to graphically pleasing. Man this could have been a killer title with 3 or 4 video cards in SLI, with DirectX 10.1. Fortunately, not everyone cares about how good a game looks :-}

I really believe in this and have felt this way long before I read this quote… here it is:

“I don’t know how many times [Pixar's] Ed Catmull has said, ‘It’s about the people.’ It is. If you make good people feel good, they’re going to keep doing good stuff for you. Because you work your ass off. You don’t sleep, you don’t think about anything else.”

“There are times when you just don’t come home, and you have to tell your girlfriend, ‘I just have to be an asshole for a while, I’m sorry,’ and to know your company appreciates that is great. It keeps you accountable.”

A lot of companies I work for have not been based on this model; because of that, I have not stayed at these companies for more than 2 years. Looks like if anyone from my current job reads this will know they are fuked and I’m heading out. LOL, to all you asstards, read the dam quote and respect your people, or they will take the good …. and all the quality with them… LOL

This great classic is set to be released on September 15, 2009.

What the hell am I talking about? Well, Google is a very BIG company. Financially, they have tons of moneys to spend the time to ensure the right development goes into their new OS. I think it’s a great idea! Another new OS on the market and it’s free! Chrome OS already promises to be backward compatible with most applications. That means, you will not have to re develop an application just to get it running on Chrome OS. It will be supported by it’s maker and many users who choose to do so. But it will not be supported by the industry unless money gets involved. I’m not a Microsoft Fan Boy. FVK paying for office and most of their software. But I love the DirectX technology. I’m a gamer, game developer and it’s the industry leader! I will buy Windows 7 and continue to support Microsoft on their DirectX Technology; alone with any hardware company sporting it.

My Laptop has a Linux OS. But I’m a techie and every normal friend I have has no idea how to operate my Linux OS. Mac can blow themselves for keeping their company’s heads within their own asses for so many years. It’ll take some more time Before Apple gets my money instead of getting eaten.

Why do I say it will not be supported? Google will have to work hard to gain industry recognition with their OS and many communities (such as the multi billion gaming industry). I can see their OS being used in multiple enterprises at the time of launch. But not being utilized in the gaming community. If they can fully push DirectX and OpenGL technology as good as Windows and better than Linux; I will personally invest in Google. What’s that symbol again? GOOG! Gotta love Nasdaq!
