Game Volunteer Portfolio Release

gamevolunteerportfolio.com is now open to the public!

Game Volunteer Portfolio

I am exhausted. After 2 month's of working at my day job and coming home to work on the website gamevolunteerportfolio.com, Wednesday night I will be releasing it for beta testing! Quite a bit of excitement in the air. I am thrilled to see how the testers will use the site and terrified to see what kind of bugs are going to surface during its use. Here's for the best, and another week of 4 hours of sleep a night.

Don't you hate it when you are tired in the morning but doing okay, then your driving and the sun is in your eyes, so you have to squint and your eyes just want to stay shut?

PC Tech Rules To Live By

Upon my time as a PC Tech, I have learned several rules over the past year to keep in mind when dealing with a user's problem.
1.Listen to what the problem is and verify for yourself that the problem exists.
2.Find out what they are TRYING to do. They may ask for something that they think they need, but actually would benefit from an alternate method.
3.You can never have too many facts, but finding the facts from users through testimony's can be difficult. Be able to discern factual evidence to support a problem from a user’s story.
4.Ties in with number 3. Users may tend to say what they think is the problem and actually be way off.
5.Although a simple notion, always troubleshoot from the most basic first, to the most advanced. An example being is it plugged in :D.
6.Never underestimate the power of a reboot.
7.Don't lose your head, if a user sees the IT guy flipping out, it will make them nervous.
8.Don't be afraid to reschedule a meeting if you have doubts about what you are doing. It is better to do your research and tackle the problem with knowledge of the matter than to waste the user’s time.
9.Ties in with number 7. Google is your best friend!

One of Those Moods

Oh my goodness, I am slap happy today :D. I don't care how old I get, a well timed fart will forever be hilarious.

FF13 Save File Missing?!?!

Has anyone ever had a missing save file for the Xbox 360? If so was it fixable? I tried to load my FF13 save file that I just played YESTERDAY, saving in MULTIPLE places, and today it shows as if I didn't play it at all! I am in rage mode right now... Can't even troubleshoot.
