A BETTER SYSTEM!
For everyone who doesn't know who I am, please go look over here.
When people think of a better system what do we think it means?... easier to use? hands free? simplistic design? It could be a large number of things....in the end, however we need to make sure its appropriate.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
What I mean hulk, is that when we begin to design that system we need to spend a lot of time thinking about it! We need to breathe it! While we design this thing it should become a part of our soul! ,and as a part of our soul we need to care deeply about it.
HULK UNDERSTANDS NOW! HULK FEELS THAT WAY ABOUT HULKS SITE!
yes, hulk certainly did spend a huge amount of time building that thing ( and broke most of my keyboards in the process....)
HULK DON'T KNOW HULKS OWN STRENGTH....PLEASE FORGIVE HULK! : (
back to the topic : )
When i see things like Amazon constantly going through revolutions but not see their competition do anything... I become saddened. Its almost like they're saying " we give up, we'll just last as long as we can , then fade away". Obviously, they would never say that..... they want to exist forever ( if they can) ,and continue to be a part of your daily life.
Being a part of someones daily life means you need to be in tune with them at all times. You need to be compassionate, understanding, and most importantly you need to be flexible.
...This is something that eBay has proved it can never be.
I ordered something through eBay, and when it arrived it was already broken. Thankfully I was able to get a refund, but the item itself had no return label...I needed to pay for the shipping. The seller gave me directions, and asked me to follow them to a key to get a full refund. The result however was the seller refusing to pay me the appropriate amount because he felt I didn't deserve it .
after several emails and being insanely patient
HULK WOULD HAVE SMASHED BY NOW
I decided to try sending an email to eBay on getting a refund through buyers protection. Email goes through but the system never actually reported the incident...later, I was told customer support and a phone number would be the answer to all my problems.
When I called them they said I should contact the buyer and leave feedback... five minutes after telling them I did that ( thanks Chris, if that's your real name). After an additional 45 minutes of bad accents other large amounts of bullshit ( and people laughing in background) I was told they can report the seller, but ultimately there was nothing they could do...
There was nothing they could do......
The eBay system relies strictly on people playing nice through approval ratings... ( mine is 100 % btw ftw)
eBay believes that negative feedback will impact sales, however this system will not work for high level sellers! Those negative feedback will just get buried by the successes. Another very distinct problem is the percentages themselves...... In a video game if you had a 80% chance of something happening in your favor you would just do it without a second guess, and since most sellers are in the 90+ bracket due to the sheer level of sales...the system becomes a buffer for stores to do whatever the f*** they want.
Which is specifically why eBay is most likely the closest candidate for federal regulation. If this were a physical location lawyers would have been involved already. Since this is the Internet we have a nice gray area that keeps getting grayer and grayer every f******* day of the week.
Corporations love the idea of everyone getting along, but they also have the deep deep almost psychotic interest of being in control . If you want to be in control, then fine.... just make sure you f******* act like it! Enforce your system, and make sure everyone has an even footing.
By not taking care of yourself, your image, or your service...... your ultimately going to make everyone leave in drones after suing your ass for wasting so much of their time.
Its a cold, strict, hard truth that many corporations like Sony have learned this year...
When your at the top (or aiming for the top) you need to be creative, and open to all suggestions. you cannot just do what the competitions does, and expect to net higher results. The world will never work that way.
Mimicry is certainly a great place to start, but your end product / service needs to be of your own design. yes, it takes risks, and it could very well fail like a sonic game...... but you wont get anywhere by being blase'...It'll just leave you open for hack attacks and FBI investigations.....
Anything to add hulk?
ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS IS MESSED UP, PLEASE RT!

Day 2 of Operation Hijack
We here at Sony are working diligently to restore stability to our system, and would like to take this time to assure you that we will in no way replace your credit cards, or compensate you in anyway for that matter....
This "incident" does not compromise us in anyway, and just because our stock took a dive does not mean you should give up on us. We have been with you for the last 10 years of your life...at least!
We've been with you through thick and thin! You shouldn't be thinking of us as an evil corporation, and more as your Mother! And as your Mother I told you to give us more money, and to stop your incessant hacking hobby immediately, or your grounded !
I hope you learned your lesson you filthy filthy pirate!
♥ your other Mother,
Sony

To whom it may concern
We here at Sony pride ourselves in bringing you the best and greatest forms of entertainment the world has ever seen. From our minds we have sent games like Spyro and Killzone onto the fast track they so rightly deserve!
We would like to remind everyone that Sony is your friend! We would never do anything that could undermine your trust, or financially bankrupt you for the rest of your lives... why exactly you might ask?
I'll be completely honest with you, because we want your continued support and benefit for the next 40 years. In the course of 40 years something like this can be seen as a simple "bump " in the road. 40 years is a long time, and much like senior citizens we shouldn't be worried about whats happening right now or perhaps in the future even.
Personally, I know you don't care... because you would have emailed your politicians by now.
dont forget you cant sue us! ; )
♥your fine friends @ sony
NEW MEMBER OF THE FAMILY!
BEING A LEADER!
IN ONE GROUP HULK HAS BEEN THE LEADER! NOT TO TOOT MY OWN HORN BUT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN GOING SMOOTHLY! TEAM HAS BEEN COMMUNICATING CONSTANTLY, WE ALL KNOW OUR SCHEDULE AND HAVE BEEN AHEAD OF IT FOR WEEKS!
SECOND GROUP HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY MORE ISOLATED BUT WE STILL MANAGED TO GET ASSIGNMENTS DONE ON TIME, AND EVEN HAD SOME FUN DISCUSSION IN THE PROCESS!
THIRD GROUP HAS BEEN A ******** DISASTER! HULK KEEPS BEING TOLD TO SWITCH JOBS CONSTANTLY, NEVER GIVEN ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH TIME TO GET HULKS JOBS DONE, AND HAS NOT HAD ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH CONVERSATION GOING ON TO UNDERSTAND GOALS FOR THE GAME TO GO ALPHA!
FOR ANYONE TO BE AN EFFECTIVE LEADER THEY NEED TO HAVE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION! BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE TEAM! AND BE HIGHLY ORGANIZED!
TO ACHIEVE THIS EITHER YOU HAVE ACTUAL PHYSICAL MEETINGS OR CREATE A GOOGLE GROUP!
THE NEXT THING IS THAT JUST BECAUSE YOUR THE LEADER... YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO THROW PEOPLE AROUND OR THREATEN TO KICK THEM OUT WHEN THEY GET ANGRY! YOU HAVE TO EARN THAT RIGHT THROUGH WORKING WITH THE TEAM!
AS LEADER YOU NEED TO SET UP A SCHEDULE AND DIVI UP RESPONSIBILITIES! AND NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS DON'T THROW YOUR GUY WHOSE WORKING ON THE 3D MODELS INTO CODING AND THEN INTO THESIS DEVELOPMENT! ITS NOT FAIR TO HIM, YOURSELF, OR THE TEAM!
INSTEAD ASK HIM TO HELP THE OTHER PROJECTS WHEN HIS WORKLOAD IS DONE!
OR ELSE YOU'LL BE STUCK WITH HUNDREDS OF UNFINISHED SECTIONS FOR THE PROJECT!
IN REGARDS TO A SCHEDULE, YOU SHOULD SPEAK WITH THE TEAM, DECIDE WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WHICH EACH WEEK, AND AS TIME GOES BY SHOULD BE UPDATED IN THE GAME DESIGN DOCUMENT!
LOOK AT THESE LINKS FOR MORE INFORMATION!

INTERNET SECURITY!
HULK IS GOING TO LIST SOME AND GIVE YOU WAYS TO KNOW ITS A TRAP AND HOW TO RESPOND!
EXAMPLE:
GREETINGS SIR OR MADAM!
RECENTLY WE HERE AT ( BLAH BLAH BLAH) ARE GOING THROUGH A SERVER UPDATE!
WE NEED YOUR PASSWORD AND SCREEN NAME TO PROCEED!
ANALYSIS ! :
NO COMPANY WILL EVER ASK YOU FOR SCREEN NAME OR PASSWORD! THEY ALREADY HAVE IT!
ITS SOME JERK TRYING TO GET YOUR INFO AND EMAIL RECORDS!
SIDE NOTE: THEY DON'T GIVE A S*** ABOUT YOU! THEY'LL PROCEED WHETHER YOU LIKE IT ,OR NOT!
EXAMPLE NUMBER 2:
SIGN ON TO WIRELESS INTERNET UNDER SOMETHING CALLED FREE PUBLIC WIFI
ANALYSIS:
THE CHANCES OF THIS BEING LEGIT IS .01%
IN ALMOST ALL REPORTED CASES ITS A REDIRECT TO INTERNET THROUGH ANOTHER COMPUTER! THEY ARE RECORDING EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE!
EXAMPLE NUMBER 3:
COMPUTER SUDDENLY STARTS SLOWING DOWN, OPENING WINDOWS ON ITS OWN ACCORD, OR JUST SEEMS VERY VERY OFF AFTER LOOKING AT A WEBSITE FROM THE SPANISH SECTION OF THE INTERNET!
ANALYSIS:
YOU HAVE EITHER JUST BEEN HACKED, WORMED, VIRUSED, AD ASSAULTED OR ALL OF THE ABOVE!.... BASICALLY YOUR COMPUTER WAS JUST ATTACKED BY SOME JERK IN A DARK MISUNDERSTOOD CORNER OF THE WORLD!... OR JUST SOME A*****************!
USE THIS,THIS,THIS, OR THIS
( MIGHT NEED TO MAKE IT A FOURWAY :P)
EXAMPLE NUMBER 4:
MY SONY ACCOUNT HAD SOME WEIRD S*** POP UP RIGHT BEFORE THE CRASH BUT NOW I CANT CHECK, AND SONY IS REFUSING TO TELL ME IF MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN AFFECTED....WTF DO I DO???????????????????
ANALYSIS:
YOUR SCREWED
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT HISTORY....EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T STORE THAT INFORMATION... ANYTHING YOU BOUGHT WILL SHOW UP IN HISTORY AS WELL AS THE CREDIT CARD INFORMATION USED ON THAT PURCHASE.
A REALLY REALLY TALENTED HACKER CAN EVEN GET THE SECURITY CODE IF THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
SONY MIGHT HAVE A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS FOR F**** UP THIS BAD!
SOME CREEPY GUY KNOWS WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU HAVE SAID ONLINE, WHERE YOU LIVE, YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, AND MORE THEN ENOUGH INFO TO START MESSING AROUND, AND DOING SOME REALLY REALLY ILLEGAL S**** UNDER YOUR NAME! ( AT LEAST YOU'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO BE ON THE NEWS ONCE YOUR LIFE IS RUINED!)
IN CONCLUSION! THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF TO HELP STOP THE AVERAGE HULK FROM SCREWING HIMSELF UP.... HOWEVER, THERE IS NOTHING TO HELP YOU IF A CORPORATION F***** UP

A MESSAGE TO AAA
THE INDIE GAME DEVELOPER NOW HAS LOTS OF VALID PROOF THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO GO AAA TO BE A SUCCESS!
IN FACT THAT SUCCESS HAS BEEN SO GREAT THAT SOME CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE!
HOWEVER! HULK FEARS THE AAA MAY BE TAKING THEIR SUCCESS AS SOMETHING MORE THEN WHAT IT TRULY IS!
AAA HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO MOVE FORWARD! FEARING A COLLAPSE OF THEIR SYSTEM!
THEY SPEND HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THEIR AAA TITLE ONLY TO RECEIVE A LESS THEN STELLAR GRADING FROM THEIR AUDIENCE! THUS IMPACTING SALES, AND SENDING COMPANIES INTO THE RED!
AT THIS POINT COMPANIES LIKE EA , THQ, AND CAPCOM WILL TRY ANYTHING TO KEEP AFLOAT!
EVEN IF IT MEANS TRYING IDEAS THAT THEY ORIGINALLY THOUGHT WERE STUPID, OR NOT WORTH THE INVESTMENT BECAUSE A PUNY INDIE DEVELOPER CAME UP WITH THE IDEA! BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY SCIENCE TO PROVE IT!!
THE REASON WHY INDIE TITLES HAVE WORKED ARE BECAUSE OF A FEW KEY CHARACTERISTICS ALL WORKING IN UNISON! HARDCORE INDIE FANS BELIEVE THE BEST YEARS OF THE GAMING INDUSTRY WERE BACK IN THE 80'S AND 90'S ! THAT NOSTALGIA IS WHAT THEY SEEK, AND WHY SOME OF THE GAMING AUDIENCE IS ATTRACTED!
THE SECOND FACTOR IS HOW THEY HANDLE THAT NOSTALGIA! SOME MAY ONLY MIMIC WHAT OTHERS HAVE PERFECTED WHILE A TRUE REVOLUTIONARY WILL ADD ON TO THE IDEA! AND IN FACT TAKE SOME RISKS! ( WORLD MAKERS)
THE THIRD FACTOR IS MORE OF A HULK PERSONAL BELIEF! INDIE TITLES ALWAYS HAVE A TYPE OF FLAIR! THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE MUCH SPARKLE TO THEM, BUT THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING GOOD GOING ON!
BASED ON AAA TITLES REACTION, HULK HAS TO SAY AAA ARE HOPING TO GIMMICK-FY THE INDIE SCENE!
THEY WANT TO COPY IT SO PERFECTLY THAT THEY DON'T CARE WHO'S TOES GET SMASHED! AS LONG AS PROFITS STAY OUT OF THE RED!
USUALLY THESE GAMES ARE TERRIBLE!
IF AAA TRULY WISHES TO LEARN A LESSON FROM THE INDIE... THEN THEY NEED TO FOCUS MORE OF THAT SWEET SWEET CASH INTO NEW CREATIVE/ RISKY MANEUVERS!
( ALSO DOESN'T HURT TO RELEASE GAMES THAT AREN'T BROKEN/ FULL OF BUGS! YOU COULDN'T DO THAT6 YEARS AGO SO WHY THE F**** ARE YOU DOING IT NOW!?!)
AS LONG AS YOUR MINDSET IS FOCUSED ON SUPPOSED " SURE HITS" YOU WONT SUCCEED AT CAPTIVATING THE INDUSTRY! THAT MIND SET! THAT IGNORANCE! IS USUALLY THE FIRST THING THAT PISSES OFF HULK!
AND SINCE HULK IS A MUCH MORE TOLERANT INDIVIDUAL..... HULK CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW OTHER GAMERS FEEL!

*HULK GIGGLE*
JANE MCGONIGAL WANTS TO START SOMETHING CALLED THE MOON KITTEN INITIATIVE! THIS IS HOW HULK IMAGINES IT!
BEING RESPONSIBLE
THIS ARTICLE IS AIMED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE ADULTS IN THE ROOM THAT HAVE YOUNG GAMERS!
THE ESRB RULES SHOULD BE SEEN AS LAWS AND NOT GUIDELINES! THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF REALLY AWESOME GAMES OUT THERE THAT HAVE THE "T" RATING!
IF YOU DECIDE TO BUY YOUR 13 YEAR OLD KID THE LATEST CALL OF DUTY, OR GRAND THEFT AUTO BECAUSE " EVERYONE IN CLASS HAS IT" THEN YOU (SIR OR MADAM) ARE A FOOL!! THAT DESERVES A GOOD SMASHING!
HULK CAN UNDERSTAND THE WANT, AND NEED TO BE THE COOL PARENT BECAUSE LIFE WASN'T SO HOT WHEN YOU WERE A KID... BUT THESE GAMES ARE NOT MEANT FOR ANYONE UNTIL THEY HAVE AT LEAST REACHED JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL!
OR HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES TO BE A YOUNG RESPONSIBLE PERSON THAT YOU CAN TRUST TO WATCH A HOUSE FOR A WEEKEND WITHOUT SMASHING THE PLACE!
( HULKS CUT OFF FOR THIS IS 16 OR ABOVE)
THERE ARE WAYY TOO MANY 13 YEAR HOMOPHOBES RUNNING AROUND PLAYING HALO, PLANTING GRENADES ON PEOPLES SKULLS, AND CALLING PEOPLE THEY HAVE NEVER MET MOTHER*********S.
THE MOST DISTURBING STORY HULK HAS IN HIS ARSENAL INVOLVES ONE OF HULKS TEACHERS! SHE HAD NO IDEA HER SON WAS PLAYING A GAME WHERE YOU BEAT HOOKERS AND STEAL THEIR MONEY ( THE KID WAS 12 YEARS OLD). HULK WILL ADMIT TEACHER DID NOT BUY THE GAME AND HAD NO IDEA.
THAT HOWEVER DID NOT STOP HULK FROM EDUCATING HER ON THE MORALS OF THE ESRB.
HULK HATES TO SAY IT BUT THE ROOSTER TEETH COMMUNITY IS PROOF WE NEED SOME KIND OF FIX!
NOT ONLY HAVE THEY OPENLY ADMITTED ON OCCASION THAT THEIR AUDIENCE IS 13 AND UP. BUT THAT VERY SAME AUDIENCE IS LISTENING TO THEIR PODCAST AND SHOWS WHERE THEY TALK OF HITCH HIKING, BEING NAKED IN PUBLIC, HEAD SHOTS,BOW CHICA WOW WOW'S, AND OVERALL ADULT CONTENT YOU SHOULD BE AT LEAST 18 TO HEAR!
HULK LOVES ALL OF THEIR CONTENT TO DEATH BUT HULK WOULD NEVER LET ANY OF HULKS YOUNG COUSINS EVER LISTEN TO THAT STUFF! HELL, HULK WONT EVEN LET THEM SEE HIS BLOG!
NOW... TO GIVE THE PARENTS A CHANCE AT BEING AWESOME ... HULK RECOMMENDS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING!
MINECRAFT
LITTLE BIG PLANET
RATCHET AND CLANK
CRASH BANDICOOT
ZELDA
POKEMON
3D DOT GAME HEROES
ULTIMATE NINJA STORM 2
DARK CLOUD
LUNAR
CHRONO CROSS
CHRONO TRIGGER
GOLDEN SUN
ALMOST ANY DS TITLE!
MARIO
FINAL FANTASY TACTICS
SUIKODEN
RUNE FACTORY
ANIMAL CROSSING
HARVEST MOON
SPYRO( FIRST 3 ARE THE BEST)
STEAMBOT CHRONICLES
THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU
ALL OF THESE ARE GAMES, OR SERIES THAT HULK IS COMPLETELY FINE SHARING WITH HULKS ADORABLE COUSINS!
HULK WOULD PROBABLY PLACE YOU ON DO NOT SMASH LIST IF YOU GAVE IT TO YOUR KID INSTEAD OF RATED M TITLE!
IF YOU ALREADY OWN THESE, OR YOUR KID IS NOT INTERESTED... THEN ASK A GAMER! MOST LIKELY THEY WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE !
HULK ALSO RECOMMENDS DOING YOUTUBE SEARCHES ON EVERY GAME YOUR THINKING OF BUYING FOR YOUR KID!!

TIMING AND PLACING!
HULK FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW HAS BEEN WATCHING HIS TWITTER ACCOUNTS CLOSELY BEFORE, AND AFTER EVENTS OCCUR!
HULK HAS ALSO BEEN WATCHING MEDIA AND POLITICIANS TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY LARGE SCALE CORRELATIONS!
SOME SIMPLE RULES THAT HULK HAS NOTICED WOULD BE THINGS LIKE
FIRST!
QUICK!
ACCURATE!
PLAY TO CROWD!
TRUE TO ONES HULK!
STOP!
FIRST! CAN BE EASILY EXPLAINED BY LOOKING AT ROOSTER TEETH!
WEBSITES LIKE THEIRS HAVE COMMUNITIES THAT NOTICE THE CORRELATION BETWEEN FIRST SPEAKING AND HIGHER VIEWS! EVEN IN CONVENTIONS THERE TIMES WHERE SOMEONE SAYS " FIRST!!" BEFORE SPEAKING THEIR MINDS ON AN ISSUE!
WHY DO THEY DO THIS?
AT THE SMALLEST FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL IT CAN BE SEEN AS A GAME! A RACE TO SEE WHO CAN SEE THE CONTENT FIRST! IN ITS MOST ADVANCED STAGE IT MEANS MORE PEOPLE WILL LIKELY SEE YOU ,AND WHO YOU ARE!
FOR THE YOUNG TWITTER(ER) WHO IS TRYING TO GAIN AN AUDIENCE, YOU SHOULD HAVE A RESPONSE TO SOMETHING AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE! ( QUICK!)
ACCURATE!
NOT ONLY SHOULD THAT RESPONSE BE QUICK! IT SHOULD ALSO BE ACCURATE!
AS WE SEE WITH GLEN BECK HE GAINED A HUGE AUDIENCE WHEN HIS SHOW LAUNCHED DURING THE MOST DEPRESSING YEAR AMERICA HAS SEEN SINCE THE 1930'S
EVEN IF HULK THINKS THE MAN WAS CRAZY ( WHICH HE WAS) THE SHOW WAS LAUNCHED AT THE MOST OPTIMAL TIME WHERE PEOPLES OPINIONS WERE MORE CLOSELY ORIENTED TO MASS HYSTERIA THEN CALM HAPPY PUPPIES!
THIS MADE AMERICA A BIT MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO OTHER IDEAS! WHICH LED TO THINGS LIKE PALIN, TEA PARTY, AND RESPECT FOR THINGS LIKE ANONYMOUS !
HOWEVER! NOW THAT THE WORST YEARS EVER ARE MORE ,OR LESS OVER ,AND THE PEOPLE ARE BACK NOT CARING SO MUCH, THINGS LIKE BECK BECOME MUNDANE, BORING, UNREALISTIC, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DEFINITELY RIDICULOUS!
HULK HATES THAT MAN ,AND THE DAMAGE HES DONE! AND HULK IS REALLY GLAD BECK DID NOT CHANGE HIS MESSAGE WHEN THINGS FINALLY STARTED TO GET BETTER!
WHICH LEADS RIGHT INTO PLAY TO CROWD, AND TRUE TO ONES HULK SELF!
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS ( LIKE SAY EVERYONE IS UPSET AT FF 13) THEN GO AHEAD AND JOIN IN! BUT IF YOU DO THIS MAKE SURE YOUR ADDING SOMETHING OF QUALITY TO THE CONVERSATION! MAKE PEOPLE THINK ,AND RESPOND! HAVE A DISCUSSION! ITS BETTER FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AND WHAT YOU STAND FOR! ( ALSO DON'T BE A D%&$#BAG)
AND FINALLY... IF THINGS ARE NOT GOING WELL WITH THE DISCUSSION, LOOK AT EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID SO FAR, CHECK FOR ANY CONFUSION AND TRY TO CORRECT IT, LAY WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO SAY ON THE TABLE, AND THEN STOP BEFORE IT GETS WORSE!
HULK ADMITS THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! BUT HULK IS STARTING TO THINK HULK IS ON TO SOMETHING! ( IF ONLY HULKS FOLLOWERS DIDN'T GO UP, AND DOWN ALL THE TIME! WOULD MAKE THIS MUCH EASIER TO GRADE!)

THIS POST IS A LEMON !
HULK IS MAKING THIS A MANDATORY THING FOR HULKS FOLLOWERS!
SO HERE'S A COUPLE PRETTY PICTURES HULK TOOK!
HULK SPENT A LARGE AMOUNT OF TIME TODAY IN DARK COMPUTERS LABS WORKING ON PROJECTS!
PEEDE BOT IS MOVING ALONG BETTER NOW! EVEN SAW THE TEAM JOKING A LITTLE MORE! HAVEN'T SEEN THEM DO THAT IN AGES!
HULK SAW A FEW PROJECTS FOR OTHER CLASSES THAT LOOKED IMPRESSIVE!
SOMEONE WAS WORKING ON A MINING SYSTEM LIKE YOU'D SEE IN AN RTS!
ANOTHER GUY WAS MAKING FLASH PIRATE JOKES!
HELLS CAGE WAS WORKING ON OPENING SEQUENCE FOR DEMO!
MY GROUP IS CHUGGING ALONG! 3 LEVELS ALMOST DONE...HOPE TO HAVE 5BY END OF SEMESTER! HULK MADE TWO WAY MIRROR FOR GAME TODAY!
HULK WORKED ON CREDITS ROLL AS WELL!
THAT'S ABOUT IT FOR HULK! HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE LEMON!

3DS
THIS WILL BE AN ONGOING DISCUSSION!
HULK FIRST SAID A FEW WEEKS AGO THAT THE 3DS IS A GIMMICK AND NO GIMMICK NO MATTER HOW SHINY CAN CARRY WEIGHT AND KEEP ITS AUDIENCE ENTERTAINED!
FOR THE MOST PART HULK IS NOT ABLE TO PROVE HULKS POINT BECAUSE OF SEVERAL OTHER INTEGRAL PROBLEMS NINTENDO HAS HAD WITH ITS LAUNCH! THE FIRST OF WHICH WAS THE AMAZING RECEPTION AT E3 AND HOW NINTENDO RESPONDED!
NINTENDO OPENLY ADMITTED THAT THE ORIGINAL HIGH PRICE OF AROUND 400 DOLLARS WAS DECIDED PURELY AS A REACTION TO THE E3 RECEPTION!
IN OTHER WORDS THE PRICE OF THE 3DS HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THEY FELT AMERICANS WOULD PAY FOR A 3D CONSOLE AND NOTHING TO DO COST EQUATIONS OR THE MANY OTHER THINGS THAT GENERALLY DECIDE HOW AND WHEN A GAME OR CONSOLE IS MADE!
OF COURSE THEY IMMEDIATELY RETRACTED THEIR STATEMENT WHEN AMERICA SAID THEY WERE F********* RIDICULOUS!
THIS HOWEVER NEVER STOPPED THEIR VENTURES! EUROPE STILL HAS TO PAY MORE THEN US AS WELL AS AUSTRALIA!
EVEN THOUGH THE ESTIMATES ARE IN!
THE NEXT BIIIIIIG PROBLEM IS THAT IN CLASSIC NINTENDO FASHION THEY ANNOUNCED A SHITLOAD OF TITLES THAT ACTUALLY WONT BE COMING OUT FOR MONTHS!
IN TRUTH THEY TRIED TO PULL A CLIFFY B!
NEXT PROBLEM IS THAT THEY HAD NO WORD OF MOUTH MURMURS IN THE INTERNETS! NO FRANTIC WII SELLOUTS, NO UNDER STOCKING PROBLEMS, NO NOTHING! IT WAS WORSE THEN A SILENT RELEASE!
AND THE FINAL NAIL WHICH IS RUINING HULKS FUN OF TEASING THE 3DS IS THE FACT ITS BATTERY LIFE AND PERSISTENT GAME CRASHES HAVE MADE MOST PEOPLE WALK AWAY!
IN SHORT, HULK SEES THAT NINTENDO HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY INCONSISTENT IN MULTIPLE AREAS FOR THEIR CONSOLE LAUNCH! AND ITS MAKING HULKS LIFE DIFFICULT! HULK NOT FIND FUN IN TEASING SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE!
DO A BETTER JOB WITH YOUR PRODUCTS NINTENDO AND TRY TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE REGGIE LOOK LESS CREEPY.... HULK HAS TO FIRMLY GRIP WALLET EACH TIME HULK SEES THAT MAN, OR HEARS HIM TALK!
THE CONVERSATIONS NINTENDO HAS MADE THE LAST YEAR ON APP STORES ALSO HAS HULK DISTURBED! HULK FEARS THEY MAY HAVE COMPLETELY LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY!
BUT THAT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CONVERSATION, AND ARTICLE!
Monday, April 18, 2011
A BETTER NETWORK!
THE BASIC IDEA OF THESE GAMES IS GET THE PLAYER SO ADDICTED THEY'LL KEEP PUSHING MORE AND MORE MONEY INTO THEIR DIGITAL ITEMS OR USE THAT MONEY TO CHEAT AHEAD TO A HIGHER LEVEL!
THE ADDICTION IS THE HIGHEST FORM THAT A DEVELOPER MAY STRIDE FOR WHEN CREATING A GAME.... HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE VERSION A DEVELOPER SHOULD SEEK!. THEIR IS NO GROWTH , AND NO REAL REASON TO PLAY ANY OF THESE GAMES!
MOST PEOPLE THAT PLAY THESE GAMES ACTUALLY DONT PLAY MANY GAMES AT ALL!
SINCE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR THEY JUST PLAY WHATS ALWAYS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM WHEN THEY SIGN INTO FACEBOOK!
TO THE PEOPLE ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN WE ARE ANNOYED BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT HARASSMENT OF TENDING SOMEONES CROPS, AND THE DRAMA THAT CAN ENSUE AS DESCRIBED IN SOUTH PARK!
BUT WHAT IS THE MOST DISGUSTING PART IS HOW THOSE STUDIOS REFUSE A REFUND NO MATTER HOW MUCH!
WE NEED TO NIP CERTAIN PROBLEMS IN THE BUD RIGHT NOW BEFORE IT GETS ANY WORSE! THINGS LIKE ADDICTION AND REFUNDS ARE BECOMING HOT TOPICS IN THE GOVERNMENT SINCE ALOT OF COMPANIES ARE NOW REFUSING TO DO SO, OR COME WITH ALOT OF STIPULATIONS ATTACHED!
UNLESS THE INDUSTRY WANTS ALOT OF RED TAPE, THEN STOP BEING AN A*********
IF SOMEONE HAS A LEGITIMATE PROBLEM WITH A PRODUCT, OR SERVICE THEN RE REIMBURSE THEM!
AS FOR ADDICTION........ ADDICTION IS ONE OF THE ONLY VALID ARGUMENTS LEFT AGAINST THE GAME INDUSTRY! RELEASING PRODUCTS LIKE FARMVILLE IS WHY SYSTEMS LIKE THIS HAVE SUDDENLY STARTED TO SPROUT UP! ( I KNOW THIS ONE IS ON WOW...FARMVILLE HAS SAME EFFECT)
QUIT WORKING AGAINST THE INDUSTRY HULK LOVES! AND QUIT CALLING YOURSELF SOCIAL GAMES! THEIR IS NOTHING SOCIAL ABOUT WHAT YOU DO! ALL YOU DO IS BREAK THEM!
Saturday, April 16, 2011
GAMESTOP
TIME FOR HULK TO SPEAK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT ANGERS HULK AT HULKS CORE!
SPECIAL DEALS FOR CERTAIN CONSOLES AND STORES!
EVER GOT SIGNED INTO SHOOTER GUY 7 ONLY TO FIND YOUR BEST FRIEND HAS A DIFFERENT WEAPON BECAUSE FRIEND BOUGHT IT FROM A DIFFERENT STORE? OR FIND OUT THE XBOX VERSION HAS EXCLUSIVELY ACCESS TO A BETA?!?
HULK HAS TOO, AND IT GETTING F******** RIDICULOUS! INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT HOW GREAT THE GAME WAS (IT WASN’T) WE’RE INSTEAD YELLING AT EACH OTHER OVER WHO HAS THE BETTER CONSOLE! HULK IS SICK AND TIRED OF HULKS FRIENDS ALWAYS STARTING ARGUMENTS AND HULK FEELS IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE!
IF YOU HAVE DLC PLANNED FOR THE GAME THEN JUST GIVE IT OUT FOR FREE WHEN YOU RELEASE IT! BETTER YET! PLACE IT ON THE F&%$#@$ DISC, AND GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE WHETHER WE WANT TO USE THE CONTENT. OR NOT!
ALL GAMERS CAN UNDERSTAND A NEED TO OUT DO THE COMPETITION! BUT DON’T DRAG YOUR CUSTOMERS INTO THE STRUGGLE! ALL IT DOES IS MAKE YOUR LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF A%$#@%^$#!
WHICH IS THE LAST THING YOU WANT YOUR AUDIENCE TO THINK OF YOU AND YOUR PRODUCTS!
YOU’RE ON A PEDESTAL FOR ALL TO SEE! ... START ACTING LIKE IT!
PROOF IN HULKS PUDDINGThursday, April 14, 2011
ARTIFICAL RESPONSE !
JANE MCGONIGAL IS EVEN TAKING AT STAB AT THE PROBLEM WITH LAUNCHING AN EVENT AT THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY!
http://www.nypl.org/blog/2011/04/01/jane-mcgonigal-and-nypl-present-find-future-game
IF THE PRESENTATION REMAINS CONSISTENT, AND THE MARKETING ALSO HAS THE SAME TYPE OF PACING, THEN YES! THE EVENT WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL!
HOWEVER, WILL THIS BE THE MAGIC BULLET THAT SAVES LIBRARIES FROM THE DIGITAL SHADOW OF OUR NEW FOUND LOVE OF KINDLES?!?
DOUBTFUL!
HULK REALLY LOVES A GOOD LIBRARY! BUT THE EXPERIENCE ITSELF IS ALWAYS A MIXED BAG! EVERY NCE IN A WHILE YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THE COOL LIBRARIAN THAT HAS THEIR OWN WOW CLAN OR FIGHTS CRIME ON THE WEEKEND, BUT THE REST HOWEVER ARE IN A SMALL NICHE THAT HAS THE UNFORTUNATE STIGMA OF BEING ABRASIVE, WHICH THE WORLD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PLACING ON THEM!
MAYBE PERHAPS THEY REMIND US TOO MUCH OF THE OLD WAYS OF LEARNING WHERE THE TEACHER WAS 50 YEARS + IN AGE AND WAS STRINGENT ON EVERY TOPIC BEING TAUGHT?!?
HULK PERSONALLY FEELS THEY NEED A WAY TO BEND THAT OLD KNOWLEDGE INTO A NEW PRESENTATION! MAYBE PERHAPS THE LIBRARIES THEMSELVES ARE MORE LIKE COFFEE NOOKS OR PERHAPS A GLASS CASTLE? HULK IS NOT ENTIRELY SURE! WHAT HULK IS SURE ABOUT IS THAT THEY NEED TO EXPLORE THE NEW WORLD WE LIVE IN AND BEND IT TO THEIR MEDIUM!
MUSEUMS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AND ARE EXPERIMENTING WITH THINGS LIKE FACE BOOK AND AUGMENTED REALITY! THEIR PROBLEM IS THAT THEY HAVEN'T GONE FAR ENOUGH. TRANSFORM THE LIBRARIES TEMPORARILY INTO A VIDEO GAME LIKE SAY ASSASSINS CREED! ITS A FIRMLY ESTABLISHED BRAND THAT LOOKS INTO HISTORY! MUSEUMS NEED TO DO THE OPPOSITE!

CORPORATE CONUNDRUM PART 2
FEEDBACK HAS NOW LED TO HULK FIRST PART 2 ON EXISTING ARTICLE!
HULK IS FEELING Q AND A STYLE THIS TIME!
Q:WE HAVE "SOMETHING" THAT WAS GREAT ON THE FIRST ITERATION BUT BAD ON THE SECOND! WHAT DID WE DO WRONG!
A: HMMM COULD BE A MYRIAD OF THINGS! WAS THE ORIGINAL "SOMETHING" MORE FUN TO PLAY? WAS THEIR ELEMENTS THAT HAD BEEN TWEAKED?!?
HULK KNOWS FROM EXPERIENCE ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS BOTH IN THE GAME INDUSTRY AND THE EVERYDAY LIFE THAT NOT ALL CHANGE IS A GOOD THING!
AT HULKS COLLEGE SEVERAL GROUPS WENT FROM HAVING LARGE ATTENDANCE AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY TO DESOLATE CESS POOL OVER NIGHT DUE TO STRINGENT POLICIES, DEMAND OF ID, DEMAND OF CURRENT ENROLLMENT, FAILURE TO HAVE CERTAIN "ITEMS" RIGHT IN FRONT OF US AT OUR DISPOSAL! ALL DUE TO NEW MANAGEMENT DECISIONS!
IN THE GAMING WORLD THE SAME IS VERY TRUE! BATTLE FOR MIDDLE EARTH KEPT F&^% AROUND WITH THEIR CHARACTER CLASSES IN THE HOPES OF MAKING A MORE BALANCED GAME!
ALL IT DID WAS DETERMINE WHICH CLASSES WOULD BE MORE POPULAR UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE! IN THE END IT CAUSED SEVERAL THOUSAND USERS TO GIVE UP ALMOST ALL AT ONCE OR TO STOP PLAYING THE ONLINE SECTION OF THE GAME!
THIS SCREWING AROUND WITH A SYSTEM THAT WORKED ENDED UP BEING THE FAILURE OF THE FRANCHISE! WHICH IS SAD SINCE THE GAME ORIGINALLY WAS RATHER BALANCED AND A LOT OF FUN TO PLAY!
HULK KNOWS THAT THERE MAY BE OTHER THINGS AT PLAY! THE TWEAKS HOWEVER ARE USUALLY WHAT CAUSE A LOT OF DAMAGE! TO KNOW FOR SURE HULK ADVISES SOME USABILITY TESTING! HAVE SOME FRIENDS THAT MATCH YOUR GENERAL AUDIENCE TEST OUT THE " SOMETHING " AND GET THAT FEEDBACK BEFORE MOVING FORWARD!
Q: "HOW DO I DEAL WITH THE GENERAL POLITICS INVOLVED WITH WORKING ON A PROJECT?"
A: THIS IS A RATHER DANGEROUS SUBJECT! HULK LIKES IT!
FOR THE MUNDANE THINGS LIKE PROVING THINGS NEED TO BE DONE ONE WAY RATHER THEN ANOTHER IT REALLY GOES MILES TO HAVE EVIDENCE, SOMETIMES EVEN HAVE A DISCUSSION!
IF YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE IN HIGHER POSITIONS THAT DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT, HULK WOULD ADVISE A WEATHERING SOLUTION! GO OVER HOW THEY'D LIKE TO GET IT DONE AND EXPLAIN WHAT THE PROBLEM IS....SLOWLY.
HOWEVER, MAKE SURE YOUR GETTING TO THE POINT AND CHOOSING YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY! THINK OF IT LIKE A CHESS MATCH! CHOOSE YOUR MOVES AND PREDICT WHAT THE BOSS WOULD SAY IN RESPONSE!
YOU DO NOT WANT TO WASTE THEIR TIME ! WHEN IT COMES TO EXPLAINING YOUR SOLUTION MAKE SURE IT FITS ONE OF THESE GUIDELINES!
AMOUNT OF STEPS IS LESS!
ITS MORE COST EFFECTIVE!
DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY TYPE OF INVESTMENT!
( EXHORBENT FEES, SOME TYPE OF SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE, CERTAIN CONNECTIONS, ECT).
IF THEY'RE BEING A REAL STICK IN THE MUD THEN BREAK OUT THE GUN SHOW!
SHOW THEM HOW THE COMPETITION IS HANDLING THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND WHAT KIND OF IMPACT ITS HAVING ON YOU! IF YOU CAN PROVE SOMETHING IS DAMAGING THEN YOUR FAR MORE LIKELY TO ENACT CHANGE!
IF THESE BOTH DON'T WORK THEN HULK ADVISES FINDING SOMEONE WHO WILL LISTEN , PERHAPS GO WORK FOR THEM INSTEAD!
HIGHER LEVEL MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY IS TO HEAR WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING, REALLY TAKE IT IN, AND THEN IF ITS A GOOD SUGGESTION, THEY NEED TO ACT ON IT! YOUR ONLY AS STRONG AS THE OTHER PARTS IN YOUR MACHINE! A STRONG BODY AND WEAK MIND IS STILL GOING TO STUMBLE!
TRY TO AVOID SMASHING THE PERSON, ESPECIALLY IF OTHER GROUPS INVOLVED MAY BE STOPPING THEM FROM ENACTING THE CHANGE! IF THEY'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU, AND EXPLORE THE SITUATION THEN WORK WITH THEM!
IF NOT AND THEY'RE JUST BEING A D&%$ FOR THE SAKE OF BEING A D&%$.... THEN SMASH AWAY! HULK WILL GUIDE YOU! : )
HULK HAS A PHD IN SMASH ETHICS WITH A MINOR IN SMASHTOLOGY! MORE THEN QUALIFIED TO MENTOR IN THIS SUBTLE ART!
Q: WHERE DID YOUR LEARN ALL OF THIS?!?
A: HULK HS DONE ALL TYPE OF JOBS AT VARIOUS RESTAURANTS RANGING FROM SIMPLE STAFF MEMBER TO MANAGER!
HULKS ALSO WORKED AS WEB DESIGNER FOR A FEW DIFFERENT PLACES... EVEN WORKED AT A MAGAZINE FOR A LITTLE WHILE!
HULK EVEN GOT TO DO INTERNSHIP AT FANCY CORPORATION DUE TO HIS USABILITY TRAINING!
EVERYTHING HULK SAID IS EITHER STUFF HULK HAS HAD TO DO ON A DAILY BASIS ,OR WERE SOME OF THE REASONS WHY HULK WOULD QUIT....OR STAY ON
WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE AWAY IS THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE UP!
THEIR WILL ALWAYS BE OTHER JOBS IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS ONE, AND IF YOU LOVE THE JOB AND WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER THEN HULK HAS DEFINITELY HELPED YOU OUT!
THAT IS ALL FOR NOW! GIVE HULK FEEDBACK IF YOU HAVE MORE QUESTION!
AND, OF COURSE HULK IS ALWAYS ON TWITTER!

CORPORATE CONUNDRUM!
HULK HAS A LARGE RANGE OF IDEAS!
CORPORATIONS CAN USE USABILITY PROCESSES TO HELP IMPROVE EXISTING PRODUCTS! WATERFALL DESIGN PROCESS IS IN PARTICULAR THE MOST USEFUL!
FOLLOW VERY STRICT TUTORIAL SYSTEMS TO HELP USER DROP OFFS!
TUTORIALS GUIDE A PERSON THROUGH AND HELP THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO! CAN ALSO GIVE THEM PURPOSE!
THE RULES OF PROPER DESIGN CAN GO MILES TO MAKING YOUR PRODUCT MORE FRIENDLY TO USE AND IMPROVING THE EXPERIENCE! MIGHT EVEN DECREASE THE TIME IT TAKES TO LEARN HOW EVERYTHING WORKS!
GROCERY MARKETS FOR EXAMPLE HAVE THE WORST DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HULK HAS EVER SEEN! HULK ADVISES CHECKING OUT PLANTS VS ZOMBIES AND THEN MAKING A TOUCH SCREEN SYSTEM THAT IS HEAVY ON ITEMS AND SYMBOLISM!
IF LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE BEING TRAINED ON PROGRAM, CREATE CHAT ROOMS THAT CAN SELECT DIFFERENT PARTS OF PROGRAM THAT NEED FURTHER EXPLORATION! HULK DID NOT LIKE PROGRAM ENTIRELY BUT SALON MIGHT BE GOING IN CORRECT DIRECTION!
BREAK DOWN PROGRAM INTO ITS SIMPLEST FORM, FIND WAYS TO PRESENT THEM IN THAT SIMPLIFIED FORM. AND THEN FINALLY MAKE SURE IT STAYS INTUITIVE!
JUST LIKE INCEPTION, IF AN IDEA IS TO HOLD IN SOMEONE, THEN IT NEEDS TO BE IN ITS SIMPLEST FORM! MAKE YOUR PROGRAM TO COMPLICATED AND USERS WILL HATE YOU GREATLY! TWITTER IS EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THIS!
MAKE SURE THAT ALL PARTS OF THE PROGRAM ( EVEN NEW APPS) ALL HAVE THE SAME STYLE SHEET! CONSISTENCY IS SPICE OF LIFE!
YOUR PRODUCT IS GIVING OUT A VERY CLEAR MESSAGE ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AS A COMPANY! MAKE SURE THAT MESSAGE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR!
DO NOT IN ANYWAY GO BACK TO AN EARLIER VERSION WHEN UPDATING NEW VERSION! OR ELSE YOU LIKE MAN WITH PANTS DOWN JUST LIKE TWITTER THE OTHER DAY!
MAKE SURE YOUR PRODUCT WORKS PERFECTLY BEFORE BEING RELEASED! OR ELSE YOU LOOK A LITTLE TOO MUCH LIKE THE VIDEOGAME INDUSTRY! SOMEONES LIFE COULD BE IN YOUR HANDS SO THIS IS NO JOKE! THIS PIECE OF INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS FOR ONCE!
IF YOUR PROGRAM HAS CONTROLS, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HAVE DIFFERENT OPTIONS! ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE SIMPLE CONTROL FOR STANDARD USE AND COMPLICATED FOR THAT SWEET SWEET CODING DURING A SITUATION!
THE WORLD IS A CONSTANTLY CHANGING PLACE! DON'T BE AFRAID OF INTEGRATING NEW TECHNOLOGY OR ACKNOWLEDGING THAT TIMES HAVE CHANGED! OR ELSE YOU END UP LIKE HOLLYWOOD VIDEO WHEN NETFLIX POPPED UP!
THE FINAL THING HULK CAN THINK OF IS THE SAD CASE OF SONY! WHEN YOU LOOK AT COMPETITION, DON'T JUST STOP AT MIMICRY! MOVE TO THE NEXT STEP! CREATE THE NEXT EXPERIENCE! YOU WANT TO MAKE PRODUCT THAT OTHER WILL GAWK AT, GEEKS WILL SQUEAL AT, AND APPLE WILL BE JEALOUS OF!
ALL REQUIRE TAKING FORM OF RISK IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! EVEN INCLUDE SPENDING OF MONEY! BUT NOTHING THAT'S PREVALENT WAS FREE! TO WIN THE FUTURE OF YOUR MARKET! YOU NEED TO ACCEPT THIS!, EMBRACE IT!, AND WALK FORWARD TOGETHER SIDE BY SIDE IN PERFECT HARMONY!

METHOD METHODOLOGY
TEACHING METHODS!
HULKS HAS SEEN A LOT OF DIFFERENT METHODS AND HULK IS NOW GOING TO RECOLLECT!
IN HIGH SCHOOL HULK WENT THROUGH MAGICAL PERIOD WHERE HALF OF SCHOOL WAS DECLARED RETARDED DUE TO " NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND" HULKS TIME PERIOD WAS FOR ALL MEANS DREADFUL, HULK HATED PACE, HATED SUBJECTS BEING TAUGHT, AND TEACHERS DID LITTLE TO NO EFFORT AT TRYING TO CONNECT TO THEIR AUDIENCE....THE STUDENTS!
JUNIOR YEAR THOUGH WE SAW SOMETHING ODD HAPPEN! TEACHER MADE REALLY LAME STAR WARS JOKE IN HALL WAY AND THEN SUDDENLY REALIZED EVERY STUDENT HEARD HIM AND THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY FUNNY!
SOON, HE STARTS TEACHING STUDENTS THE WAYS OF THE FORCE, THEN USES THAT NEW UNIVERSE TO CORRELATE TO STUDENTS ABOUT HORRIFYINGLY COMPLEX ISSUES BEING DISCUSSED IN CONGRESS! BY EXPLAINING THEM IN TERMS OF YODA BEING CRUSHED BY SENATE, AND GOING OVER SLAVE LABOR POLICIES ON TATOOINE
EVENTUALLY THE HORRIBLE ACTS DUE TO NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND WERE ENDED AFTER SEVERAL TEACHERS WERE FIRED! THE STAR WARS JOKES HOWEVER STILL CONTINUED!
NOW FAST FORWARD TO WHEN HULK IS GOING 4 ASSOCIATES DEGREE!
HULK HAD 3D MODELING TEACHER THAT LIKED HAVING STRANGE SAYINGS! IF HE WANTED STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING IMPORTANT, HED USUALLY SAY SOMETHING LIKE " THIS HAS IMPORTANCE.....YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEAH!!!!!!!" IN HIGH PITCH VOICE!
HE WOULD ALSO SPOUT OUT SILLY THINGS LIKE " YES......YYYYESSSSSSSS.....YYYYYYYYYYYEAH!!!!!' WHEN THE STUDENT DID THE ASSIGNMENT CORRECTLY .
HULK WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT TEACHER WAS PURE EVIL. HULK HAD TO LEARN HOW TO DO THINGS IN 3DS MAX THE HARD WAY AND WAS PUSHED IN WAY HULK IS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH AT ANY LEVEL.... FOR A 12 WEEK COURSE HOWEVER HE HAD RESULTS.....
FAST FORWARD AGAIN TO AFTER GRADUATION! HULK SPENDS YEAR SEARCHING FOR ANOTHER SCHOOL! FINDS SCHOOL, GETS IN EASY! HULK STARTS TAKING COURSES, SEES SIMILAR TRENDS AS BEFORE, QUITE HAPPY WITH EXPERIENCE!
HULK SUDDENLY FINDS A TEACHING STYLE HULK DID NOT THINK EXISTS! TEACHER EXPLAINS TOPICS WELL, DISHES OUT HOMEWORK!, MOMENT HULK GOES HOME HE REALIZES HE NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING THAT WAS NEVER EXPLAINED IN CLASS AND IS NOT INSIDE BOOK!
HULK ASKS TEACHER FOR A REFERENCE, TEACHER LOOKS SHOCKED ! TEACHER FEELS LIKE STUDENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT EASILY EVEN THOUGH ITS A NEW SUBJECT AND THE BOOK DOES NOT GIVE ANY HELP!
HULK SPENDS HUGE AMOUNT OF TIME RESEARCHING HOW TO DO WHAT HE WANTS! ULTIMATELY GETS ASSIGNMENT DONE BUT TEACHER REFUSES TO GRADE! STATES THAT ITS TOO LATE!
THE FIRST TWO TEACHERS USED THINGS LIKE CORRELATIONS AND RESPONSES TO THE STUDENTS HOMEWORK, THEY ALSO WOULD COME DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL TO TRY AND CONNECT THE MATERIAL TO THEM SINCE THEIR IS AN OBVIOUS DISCONNECT!
THE THIRD HOWEVER REFUSED! HE WANTED EXPLORATION, CREATIVITY, WAS HOPING WE WOULD PUSH OURSELVES, FIND CONCLUSION , AND THEN MOVE ON
LAZY TEACHING METHOD!
YOU CANT DROP A CHILD IN THE OCEAN AND EXPECT THEM TO CHASE DOWN MICHAEL PHELPS!
YOU NEED TO GIVE THEM SOURCES, LEAVE THEM SOME WIGGLE ROOM, AND GROW ON THEIR OWN!
THE SAME THING CAN BE SAID FOR TUTORIALS IN VIDEOGAMES!
AN INVISIBLE OMNIPRESENT HAND THAT IS GUIDING THEIR PROGRESS, SHOWING THEM WHERE TO GO, MAKE THE SCORE PAINFULLY OBVIOUS, AND THEN SLOWLY EVER SO SURELY RELEASING THE GAS AND IGNITING THE FLAMES, AND IN SOME CASES
EVEN LETTING THEM BURN
HULK HAS 4TH TEACHER HULK WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THAT HANDLES THIS PERFECTLY! PERHAPS HULK WILL WAIT A FEW DAYS ON THAT ARTICLE THOUGH!
THIS ONE IS ALREADY LONG ENOUGH!
THE MORALITY EFFECT!
AFTER HOURS OF SHOOTING GETH AND DEEP DEEP MEDITATION ON THE ETHICS OF MINING PLANETS DRY, HULK HAS HAD A FEW REALIZATIONS!
MASS EFFECTS MORALITY SYSTEM/ DECISIONS IMPACT SEQUELS FUTURE STORYLINE HAS A CHANCE TO GO DOWN AS MOST COMPELLING STORYLINE EVER!
THERE ARE ONLY A FEW REAL FAULTS THAT CAN HINDER ITS PROGRESS!
THE FIRST OF WHICH IS THAT THE GAMES MAXIMUM EXPERIENCE LEVEL IS ONLY ATTAINED WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT ALL 3 TITLES!
HULK HAS TRIED MANY TIMES TO START NEW GAME AND EACH TIME HULK ALWAYS GETS THE LESS THEN QUESTONABLE START WITH HUMANS CONTROLLING COUNCIL, HULK BEING SHUNNED FOR SMASHING THEN DYING!, URDNOT REX IS TOTALLY DEAD (P.S. HE WENT OUT LIKE A B%$#!) AND SCARY/FRIENDLY RACHNI QUEEN HAS BEEN "DEALT" WITH!
WHICH MEANS THAT EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT THE GAME WHEN THE SEQUEL CAME OUT IS MOST LIKELY STARTING OFF ON AN EVIL PARAGON ROUTE / REPUTATION!
EXCELLENT SEGWAY TO SECOND PROBLEM!
EVIL CONVERSATIONS ARE NOT OF THE SAME LEVEL OF PEDIGREE AS THE GOOD CONVERSATIONS!
SHEPHERD'S GOOD RESPONSES ARE BOTH INTIMIDATING, AND OF PHD LEVEL QUALITY! THEIR FULL OF THINGS LIKE POSTURING, COMEDY!, ROMANCE, COMPASSION!, WISDOM, AND AT ALL TIMES VERY VERY CLEVER! TRULY DRIVE THE STORY AND SHINE LIGHT ON ROBOTIC MUST SAVE GALAXY PERSONA!
EVIL CONVERSATIONS HOWEVER , DO NOT DO ANY OF THIS! THEIR NORMALLY INSANELY AGGRESSIVE , DEMAND UPDATES, TELL PEOPLE TO #$$% OFF, DO EVERYTHING IN THE BOOK TO MAKE SHEPHERD LOOK LIKE A D%$#! AND NOT SOME DUDE WHO IS ABLE TO GET THE MISSION DONE NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!
H$%# ZAEDE FREAKING BLOWS UP A GAS REFINERY FOR ONE DUDE!
WHAT'S SHEPHERD NORMALLY DOING? DEMANDING EDI TO SHUT UP AND FOR EVERYONE TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHO'S BOSS!
HULK HAS SEEN CHEEKY MOVIE VILLAINS PORTRAY THIS BETTER THEN SHEPHERD DOES AND THAT IS SAD INDEED!
HULK WILL ADMIT HE ENJOYED EVIL ACTIONS LIKE STICKING CUTTING TORCHES WHERE THEY SHOULDN'T BE, PUSHING PEOPLE OFF BUILDINGS AND SHOOTING ELNORA! BUT THAT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AREA HULK WILL DISCUSS A DIFFERENT DAY!
3RD AND FINAL PROBLEM IS ONE HULK HAS IS MOST EXCITED ABOUT!
HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU END A GAME LIKE MASS EFFECT?!? WITH SOO MANY DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT CAN BE IN PLAY FROM ALL 3 TITLES ITS CERTAINLY GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON WHO IS IN THE FINAL FIGHT, WHAT STRENGTH THE COLLECTORS ARE AT, AND ULTIMATELY HOW MANY DIFFERENT POSSIBLE ENDINGS ARE AVAILABLE!
UNLESS OF COURSE BIO WARE LIMITS THEMSELVES, AND ALL THOSE LITTLE EVENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED DON'T HAVE RESOUNDING EFFECT ON ENDING! ( HULK WOULD FEEL BETRAYED IF THAT HAPPENED!)
HULK IS JUST GLAD HIS TEAM IS ALIVE AND THAT TALI LOVES SHEPHERD :P

TOWER DEFENSE
TOWER DEFENSE ESK GAMES NOT GETTING PROPER RESPECT !
WE SEE TITLES LIKE MASS EFFECT 2 , SEVERAL RTS LIKE FINAL FANTASY DANCE WITH SUBJECT BUT ITS NORMALLY USED MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE DURING DLC OR USED TO BREAK UP MONOTONY IN GAME PLAY!
HULKS PROUD FOLLOWERS SHOWED HULK TITLES REVENGE OF TITANS AND GEMCRAFT THAT DO AN EXCELLENT JOB OF KEEPING GENRE ALIVE! BUT HULK WANTS MORE!
SOMEONE NEEDS TO KICK PLANTS VS ZOMBIES RIGHT INTO THE GROUND WITH NEW TOWER DEFENSE FRANCHISE! ALSO NEEDS TO BE COMPELLING TO PLAYERS WHILE KEEPING THINGS LIKE PACING AND CONTROL UNDER CONTROL!
TOWER DEFENSE IS A GREAT MEDIUM FOR MANY THINGS AND KEEPING IT AS A MONOTONY BREAKER IS JUST INSULTING!

REPURPOSING IS NAME OF GAME?
SEQUELS USING ASSETS FROM AN EARLIER TITLE BUT WITH A DIFFERENT PURPOSE!
ASSASSINS CREED SHOWED US HOW ITS DONE! SAME BUILDINGS! DIFFERENT MATERIALS!
IT LEFT DEVELOPERS WITH EXTRA TIME TO WORK ON OTHER THINGS! LIKE THE MANY MANY TRADEMARK LOCATIONS!
ALSO FREED THEM TO PURSUE OTHER OBJECTIVES WITH MORE DETAIL! I DOUBT THINGS LIKE INSTA KILLS AND PERSONAL TEAM OF ASSASSINS WOULD HAVE BEEN IN SAME QUALITY WITHOUT USING THIS PARTICULAR SHORT CUT!
ALL HULK ASKS IS THAT YOU DON'T FORGET TO ADD SOMETHING TO POT!
YOU CANNOT IN ANYWAY JUST TAKE OLD FORMULA, RELEASE IN SEQUEL, AND EXPECT TO MAKE THE SAME IMPACT!
WORLD IS A CONSTANTLY CHANGING PLACE AND YOUR GAME MOST LIKELY HAS TAKEN NOTICE AND IS INSPIRING OTHERS WHO MAY VERY WELL BE MORE TALENTED!
WHILE YOU STAYED COMPLACENT, THEY KEPT MOVING FORWARD! AND SOON THEIR MAY BE MANY OTHER TITLES THAT ARE BETTER THEN YOUR OWN AND YOU COULD BE DUST IN WIND!
HULK CANT HELP BUT FEEL DRAGON AGE 2 HAS LANDED IN THIS CATEGORY HARD! NOT JUST HARD! BUT AT SPEED OF LIGHT TO BOOT!
WITH THINGS LIKE ASSASSINS CREED 3, MASS EFFECT 3, BORDERLANDS 2, UNCHARTED 3, AND MANY OTHERS ON THE WAY, YOU CANT AFFORD TO HAVE AN UNFINISHED THOUGHT!
ITS DAMAGING TO YOURSELF AND JUST AS IMPORTANTLY IT COULD KILL YOUR IMAGE!
BIOWARE'S IMAGE IS AT THE HIGHEST ITS EVER BEEN RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW!
BY RELEASING A SEQUEL THAT DID NOT LIVE UP TO THE SAME LEVEL OF QUALITY THEIR AUDIENCE MAY NOT BE INTERESTED IN DRAGON AGE 3!
HULK PERSONALLY FEELS DRAGON AGE 2 WAS A GOOD GAME! HULK IS ONLY BEING HARSH WITH YOU BECAUSE HULK LOVES YOU AND WANTS YOU TO DO BETTER!
