Oh Livejournal, I have nothing to say to thee...
So here's some culture clash: I'm playing Age of Empires and join a custom game set up by some Chinese kid. Fine. We are together in a team vs 2 computer allies. Fine. I fail to notice however, that not only does he set the AI on Easy (which is OK, because he was clearly a new player), but he also enables cheats. How lame can you be? Seriously. He proceeds to age up to Industrial (via 100% cheats), building tons of houses and a slowly growing army. By the time he has even moved his army from his base, I'm leveling the last house of the only remaining computer player (I annihilated the other one).
My point: I don't understand the Chinese/Korean/Japanese gamer mentality. If you want to ignore the micromanagement and economics of a game, and just blindly hurl thousand of troops at your enemy, go play Starcraft. Why did you even bother buying AgeIII? Furthermore, I find it laughable that I out-played you using no cheats, while you massed ill-gotten resources and troops like a crazy old cat-lady hoarding furballs.
I would, of course, have said all this to him, but unfortunately I don't speak Chinese. So you get to hear it.
Anyway, KPMG wants to interview me for a summer internship. No word on E&Y yet. Did ridiculous accounting today at work. The boss and I have a whole year's worth of checks and receipts to enter and balance. I don't even know if anyone who works there is getting their W2 before the deadline. Such is life.
And looking at the books, you guys have NO IDEA how much restaurants spend on alcohol. Especially semi-fancy ones like the one I work for. It's obscene. That, and the cost of advertising. That's obscene, too.
