So we've moved down to a smaller house and finally got the homestead up and running. Just amazed on how many companies don't have their shit together. We had a hard to navigate road in our old place that didn't allow large, 18 wheelers up without getting stuck. You'd think alerting the moving company to this would make them come up with a plan. You'd be wrong.
So after getting stuck they look for one of their smaller trucks. In the days were everyone has a cell phone and GPS I still don't know how a dispatcher can't locate one of their vehicles. The driver works for you, right? He isn't just some guy off the street?
I understand that if your situation doesn't fit the mold than there might be some issues. Though when places like a closing company have one job, and that job is to deliver a check, how is it that they can screw it up? Rather than mailing the check to pay off our mortgage, the person just handed it to a random UPS guy. That's one step away from putting thousands of dollars in a wheel barrow, rolling it downhill to the bank, them hiding under some covers and hope for the best.
And that's not the only check they've lost.
ReplayFX is around the corner and I'm very happy to see how well it's been advertised. The local food store I walk to even had a poster until some jerk ripped it down. It was a nice motivator while it lasted.
We're going to have two lap tops to show off the game, one with the rift and one without. It's good to have two, there's always something that comes up. I plan on having the game on a thumb drive and the number of a rent a center in case something happens to a machine. I'm not sure where we'll be located at, but if a kid goes flying out of the bouncy castle and knocks our table over, I want to be prepared to be back up and running.
ReplayFX is going to be four days, and that's a rather long time. It never been held before so there's no telling how big it's going to be. It could be an echoing empty hall, or we may have huge lines. Who knows, maybe they'll out do the furry convention, something that Pittsburgh is now known for.
The shot above is the sky we've added. Keith thought the level needed it, and after looking at it I agree. Previously it was just darkness, which I think worked a lot for some areas of the first Silent Hill. But I think it worked out rather well.
