Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

So my company, in fact my department, is in discussions to work on the next installment of a popular video game series. Like, multiple GOTY awards, that kind of popular. In the interests of complying with our NDA, I won't say what game or series it is, but trust me when I say there will be millions of people playing it.

Why am I whining? Because even if we take the case, there's no chance of me working on the game personally. The job involves knowing simplified Chinese, as well as colloquialisms and slang from Mainland China. I'm from Taiwan, so I can't do it. I could've had my name in the credits of a game played around the world. Millions of people could've read dialogue and narration written by me. And now it won't happen.

hmmm.
Fallout: Nanjing would be pretty awesome, but I doubt it.
Jade Empire II would be even more awesome, but seems even more unlikely.
Deus Ex is still in production, I doubt they'd suddenly start a new installment already.
Firefly: the MMO would no doubt use Mandarin, but the odds of that happening are low.
Metal Gears of Halo: China Edition? :p

You are on the way to destruction. You have no chance to survive make your time.

In my defense, when I wrote that I was drunk and it was mainly on a bet.

Wait hang on, lemme check my Zero Wing NDA, I'm pretty sure it's expired, but better be sure.... oh crap can you guys all sort of pretend to forget I ever said that?

"Yeah, our website hasn't been updated in over a year, so we don't actually offer a paralegal program anymore. Sorry."

Of course you don't. Thanks for telling me that AFTER I've driven all the way over there. Figures.

Are there any openings for someone to maintain their website?

Weird dizzyness/exhaustion says caffeine.
Weird chest pain/difficulty breathing says no caffeine.

Both say extreme stress response. These are the days that I consider the idea that giving up drinking may have been a terrible idea, regardless of control issues.

You know what Tumblr needs to stop doing? Stop ordering me around. Stop telling me what to do because what you assume 1) you're right, and 2) everyone else is wrong.

You know what, Tumblr? Just stop assuming. You're the reason people resort to notallwhatevers hashtags and the like.

Isn't this dangerously close to being tagged with "old man yells at (the) cloud"?
