Tweaking the tiger's tail again...

Our office nameplates at work have room for us to put quotations on them - in fact, they have a special space for them. I've been racking my brain trying to come up with a nice short quote for it. I finally got tired of the natterings of the people in the offices around me who are doing 'research' in... I'm not kidding... Second Life.

"Sociologists study sociological methods; physicists study physics." - Poincare

They probably won't even get it.

Oh gods, I worked on NWN. Gaaaah. Fucking Bioware.

Although the game was pretty good, all things considered. :)

NWN made up the vast majority of my gaming time for a couple of years; it is a pretty good game.

Sounds like you have stories; we should trade sometime, if you want to hear about how operating systems or multimillion-user online systems get made. :)

Them: "We're shipping Feature X!"

Me: "Who's the customer for Feature X? How will they be using it?"

Them: "Um..."

Me: "Yeah, that makes it easy to test."

If by 'stories' you mean 'rants' then sure. ;) Although I know a lot of interesting stuff it is my best interest not to repeat, sadly enough. :p
