As someone who played a ton of M25 on 360 (and then a ton more on PS4) I can say that I'm excited about M15, but let's take a look at how the game is coming along so far and where it still needs to go.

--Graphics

I really liked the step that M25 took up from the 360 to the PS4 version, and it helped my enjoyment and immersion in the game. The issue is that we weren't necessarily seeing how sexy it had looked in the promotional clips w/RGIII approaching center and all ... Read More

First off, I greatly appreciate the readers of my previous entries who have given me support through a rough time. Thanks so much, fellas

It's been awhile since I blogged about the job situation, mainly because things were either static, or I was going through interview processes and didn't want to jinx things. Time to get caught up!

Since late January, I was job-hunting as usual at my desk here in my den. In early February, a posting on careerbuilder caught ... Read More

Fast forward to 2010...working at her job at the time, mass overtime and project management that kept her across the state a lot in 2009 ... Read More

Things are quiet on the employment front this time of year, and while I haven't just quit, I understand the real action will be next week rather than right now.

Dear Reader,

My job of ten years came to an end on December 13, 2013. I worked for a very small company of five people, but business dropped off dramatically over the past year and my layoff (along with my friend, Kevin) was necessary to keep the company going. My boss had a really tough time with it....we were a very tight little family who knew each other's kids and lives quite well.

The writing had been on the wall for months, yet we all kept hoping for the turnaround ... Read More
