Geek girl turns geek mom inside the gaming industry

Victor writes: Being a gaming journalist is a cool job. No doubt about it. You are correct to envy us.
However, it’s not all drunken E3 parties and late night multiplayer battles with game developers and celebrities. We play games for a living, of course, but for every Far Cry 3 there’s a Hello Kitty’s Island Adventure (thanks, South Park).

Dammit son, it's 8pm and you've got to go to school tomorrow. Now put down that homework and play some videogames.

I am happy for them, it's a sweet story. I hope to find myself a good women that is into video game culture. Congratz to her and I wish her family well.

Getowned4137d ago

I have found my self a woman who loves gameing just as much as I do, infact I can't play games without her now. We have been playing many co-op games and we recently got into Borderlands 2 after finishing Dead Island. Its really fun and I've never been happier in my life, best of luck to them and anyone who is in love :P. The only thing better than gaming, is gaming with someone you love.

Thepcz4136d ago

i always suspect females who 'love games' actually only do so to appease their gaming partner, or because their ex gaming partner got them into it.

its like women who love football... yeah right. their man loves football, and they just tag along and support the team out of sympathy.

Bethesda & Xbox To Meet Up With Laid-Off Deep Silver Volition Employees

According to a LinkedIn post, Bethesda and Xbox Game Studio representatives will meet up with Deep Silver Volition employees.

shinoff2183216d ago (Edited 216d ago )

That's pretty cool, but didn't they just lay of 10k as a whole. Reportedly some from the gaming division even.

Confused in pa.

Sonyslave3216d ago

Yes they did , it the circle of life in the tech bizz.

blackblades216d ago

Circle of life of meh games

This is called good PR. And an opportunity to hire veterans over scrubs.

phoenixwing215d ago

Not to call them scrubs but yeah some veteran devs are more welcome than others with less experience

Flakegriffin215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

You can hire veterans all day long but it’s the talent Microsoft lacks.

Zeref216d ago (Edited 216d ago )

It was mostly outside of gaming. Most of the game studios weren't affected besides 343i and Coalition from what I recall

Charlieboy333215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

But of course. Just look at the latest Saint's Row....that is exactly the level of quality and writing that Xbox strives for these days.

Aloymetal215d ago

Nope, like Redfall, Craig infinite

There u go. This is way more acceptable than buying up studios. Buy individual talent until you strengthen your already owned studios. 👏🏽

Dead Island 2 devs believe a Dead Island remake would be a “mistake”

We might be in the age of remasters, but it doesn't look like the Dead Island 2 devs believe remaking the original game is the right move for the series.

but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!

Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games

CrimsonWing69400d ago

Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!
