| TakeTwo has been having a tough time of it. I don't get the feeling they're a well-run machine, at all. a little over a year ago, they offered me a job at just over half the market rate, which was kind of an insult... they said they were really desperate to get me in there, but didn't have the budget, and would try and figure something else out. after I interviewed, they told me that before they made me an offer, I should know that their budget was closer to 1/3 market rate, basically too low to live on.
I know EA has similar issues (they force OT out of people for free, sometimes as much as double work hours), but come on... Flag this | Edit this post |

| | tis different... funny in parts, certainly making an effort, but it is more of a comedy piece than something an "editor" would post. plus, it is about 2 minutes too long, at the end, there. nice idea, but not much to look at... points for originality, I give it a 5.

| | true, but it makes one wonder about the necessity of having votes in the first place. it is also interesting that these votes were so low, but in the writing cluster they are high... and then in the video cluster low again. Flag this | Edit this post |

| wow, that would be pretty esoteric, but I wouldn't put it past LotR-heads... there are some hardcore people in the game.
as for the darkness, I thought that was working i the favor of the shots... it gets fairly dark at night. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | seriously, the better it is, the lower it goes, because people see it as a threat and give it a 1. just watch the math of it... as soon as your entry gets a lead, it gets tagged, and you can easily see how low of a vote it got. I do not mind if someone gives me a 4 or something if they do not like it, but I get lots of 1 votes. just look at my video editor entry, almost half my votes are 1`s Flag this | Edit this post |

| | yeah, I've rated everything 5-10. my avg rating is prolly 7.5, which is higher than any aggregate atm. I'm sure if there were nothing at stake (and people were still posting these, for some reason!) then we'd see lots of 8's and 9's. Flag this | Edit this post |
