That one got me 
Glad to see that you haven't lost your humour despite that ordeal you've been/you're going through. Looking forward to the conclusion! Hang in there!
Ah looks like I wasn't so far off then. My colleague used to dig through data in an institute for meteorology. So yeah, I'd say there are more and more opportunities in the games business for sb with that kind of background.
Does calculus, basic physics and basic statistics play some role in games in areas not directly related to programming?
As e-freak has pointed out maths skills are a useful tool for game designers as well. If maths & statistics is an area you're interested in (and you're not trying to find what the bare minimum is 
) you might want to consider becoming a data scientist/business intelligence analyst. Gaining insights for game design and business decisions from big data volumes is becoming more and more prevalent. Today it's hard to find an established studio who isn't looking to fill such a position actually, but they usually expect you to collect and pull the data, too (get familiar with SQL, R and the like).
Mazy's Top 2013 reminded me that I've planned to watch "The Hunt" for some time. Intense movie, wasn't disappointed.
Yup, I like what I'm reading & hearing! 
So far so good.
On a different note marks is now officially responsible for whatever comes out of this.
Quote from AlexMWhy is hearthstone so addictive?
Collectables?
My twitter consists of a lot of posts about people being addicted to the game.
That is the best part: it is not (to me at least). It's like chess. Very strategic. Luck is a component (so maybe it's more similar to Poker) and there is the occasional match when you just throw up your arms and scream "unfair!" but a good, balanced deck and strategic thinking is more important. There are different playstyles, classes and a leveling system but the fact that you can casually play it on a laptop, on the couch has been a factor for me, too. Should be perfect for tablets.
Ridiculous Fishing didn't entertain me for weeks but it was cents well spent. Fun mobile game.
I have played and finished Bioshock Infinite over the holidays. Fantastic game world, great companion character and a very confusing ending.
I blame Hearthstone for not finishing more games. The first card battler I am thoroughly enjoying. Blizzard is at it again!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to you, Spelly, and all the other fine people around here!
Removed the studio's name upon request.
"Hitman: Prisoner's Dilemma" announced.
Just a word of caution: In the day and age of google alerts (and mapcore being the holy center of anything gaming related to begin with) there is the possibility that the people who are interviewing you might stumble across discussions here and that could be counter-productive. So in the future, I'd recommend to keep things a little more vague Also, good decision on giving this one a pass for the same reasons that others have mentioned.
IS OK MAZZLE I PET UUUU~~~~~~~~))))))~~~~~~
Re: final episode of Homeland season 3:
Apparently they just renewed the show for another season.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/14/mor…_n_4444825.htmlI think I'll just leave the show at this point and consider the last episode as the official ending. It's been fun. R.I.P. Brody.

In a moving gesture of generosity and altruism my roommates and me got our other roommate GTA 5 for his birthday. Now we basically hand over the controller each time somebody stops playing and the PS3 never goes off. I had my doubts because I never really got into GTA4 (don't let Mazy hear this!) but I'm loving this. The amount of content and the level of production quality is surreal. Fucking masterpiece.

I liked the first one, it was fun to watch, and i'm eager to see this one. I love the greek/macedonian history and the way they ruled the world, can't wait
I'm also going to watch it for the historical accuracy.
