        The 2KLA domain is actually owned by someone in Korea. So we had to be 2K Los Angeles. We generally referred to ourselves as 2KLA for short though.

I was wondering exactly how many years of CS I should be devoted to, and which programming language I should specifically focus on? I've had two semesters of beginner's Java and one semester of Assembly. Now I'm in my third semester of Java, with sort of no idea as to when my college map lets me dive into C++ or anything. Also, if I were to ever want to start up in QA or anything, do you know which buttons I would need to press, or are you still enough in touch with the guys to be a reference someday?
        Java is good for flash games, but C++ is what you really need to know. Personally, I would never want to work in QA. If you have a CS degree and write good code, you shouldn't have much trouble landing a job as an entry-level programmer. Or go my route and tell programmers what to do! :wink:

        Just think its overrated. Though i'll admit I had some last week and it was better than i remembered.

        Generally ex-minor leaguers and sometimes college students. Though there are NCAA restrictions on that. If you or anyone else thinks they'd be good, PM me.

        I have to sign all kinds of stuff when I leave that says I will not discuss any of Take Twos business matters with the public. So to be safe, I will not comment. I believe we've already said publicly that we worked on the bat sounds this year, so I guess just wait and play the game :wink:

        and don't read too much into that comment.

            just seen the thread.

            Kush sorry to hear that you are out of work right now. Glad that you left on your own terms and wish you success in whatever you choose to do next.

            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

            I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                    Let just say I don't know. That way we are all safe.

                      Wow Kush, didn't realize you were so high up on the food chain. Assumed you were Q&A Lead or something to that effect. That is good to know.

                      And I knew you were not commenting on the bat sounds for that reason. And told everyone that exact reason. Glad to year it from you so the conspiracy theorists can shoosh on that subject at least.

                      *crosses fingers they are from that trailer, if not they better patch them in*

                            I'd be shocked if the demo came out today. Now, Tuesday of this week? That wouldn't surprise me.


                            Oh and Kush, that fellow Yankee fan that always did his best to be professional despite people yelling at you, good luck with your future. With your background, I'm sure you'll be fine.
                            "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
