Sure, we'd all like to play games all day, but too damn bad.
I did once know someone whose job was testing video games....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, annoying fixing of misunderstanding is done.
ION, I just asked the dog, "Cold enough for you?" Being a dog, she has no idea how annoying I just was....

I told my students to write zombie survival plans.
Many years ago, Creepy or Eerie did a monster survival plan.
One rule was "Never have anything to do with people you know are dead." It was illustrated by a man and woman looking at a sea of zombies at their door, and the man was saying "They're my old buddies from the prison camp. I thought they all died when I sold them out for a pack of cigarettes" The woman was saying, "If they're your friends, honey, we should invite them in."
Another rule was something like "If your brother disappears in Transylvania, think 'What has he done for me lately?'"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(well, he just sold it).
So, not hiring game testers?

Oh dear. There was a history-teacher smackdown after our Black History month assembly today. NOT pretty. The presenting teacher was talking about MLK Jr. and Malcolm X and was talking about how X is so often left out of history books because of his controversial stances, etc., and history teacher #2 freaked out at the implication that X is just as important as MLK and...wow. DRAMA.

I don't know, maybe. I think the company that bought them is planning to keep them going with the same staff. I don't think they really make the kind of game that Mac would be interested in playing all day though.

did I mention here how I overheard someone at work saying that Maya Anjelou (sp?) was like a female Malcolm X? I was all WHA?@?@?@? but on the inside.
