I may have had a few beers but.......

....bsg has some fucking skills. As someone who has worked for another (failed) j2me company and since had interviews/discussions with other (soon to be failed) j2me companies, it's apparent that the knowledge gap is vast.

so much knowledge is being lost... bsg ruled!!

c%$a-c&*a can go fuck themeselves

Re-definition of Extreme Programming - a pissed dev team working in spoons trying not to spill beer on the laptop - high risk anyway

surely your not saying there are companies out there that have a Symbian solution that they want you to put it onto j2me phones because they have already sold it or included it in their projections for growth!

And your definitely right, lets look whos still in j2me from the lot attending on Sat, erm yes.

How long did dennis actually take, lets see 3.30pm - 10.30 am = 18 x 3 = 54hours; we might have to find an all night club

I suggest the following concepts for approval

1) Roger Mellies swear box (no I wont let it drop)

2) Monkey Donkey Monkey, a game where monkeywiz.com beats his pet monkey with a stick,with a
donkey in the background.

3) Fruit Machine - come on we haven't done one in while, I can even define the first test case.

public class FruitMachineTester
{
@Test public void testFirstSpin()
{
// does the first spin = Cherry Melon Cherry
assertEquals ("SpinReels", "CMC", 1);
}
}

This is a mandatory test case, that must be implemented, word wrapping is of course optional

Of course these midlets will need to work on the following set of phones

(looks for the copy paste list of moto triplets, 3100, etc)

Plus the end screen must be fully gorgeous, I suggest this can be achieved by the splash screen saying "You are winner!"

definitely it has all the components needed to meet carriers approval

1) Monkeys
2) Donkeys
3) More Monkeys
4) Spinning reels
5) Flashing lights
6) Will break phones and cause people to have to buy another preferably with a 36 month contract

I do however feel the key ingredient of whacking monkeys with sticks has been lost in your combination, perhaps the subgame is when you get the jackpot you whack a monkey/donkey to see how many super monkey donkey prizes you can get.


this adds in some more 'one thumb' gameplay as can be as simple as continuing to press 5

I'll need an artist though, preferably someone who specialises in drawing monkey/donkey combos

The guys over at Juniper research have obviously been spying on us in this blog and have seen the revolutionary idea of monkey donkey monkey and how it is going to drive growth in the mobile arena

Get this mobile gaming to be worth $47 Billion ( I am not sure where the other $3 billion is but I assume it must be there, perhaps thats the money we have to be paid in royalties in 2011, so isnt being counted in the sums)

Spoons opens at 8am I believe

I reckon seriously Spoons square peg at around midday Sat 2nd should be the start of Redundancy fest '06. That should give us a clear 10 hours drinking by which time I assume no one will be left standing, and those that need to can get on the drunk train home

Adam reckon you can knock up however many t shirts we need by then

How to be a twat (part one)

There are many many ways of being a twat, so let's start at the beginning.

To be a twat you have to:-

1) Believe that a job in the games industry will last longer than 3 months.

that's it, that's all you have to do to become the biggest twat in the world!!!!


p.s. i've been made redundant again, twice in 3 months, must be up for some kind of record.

That's arse, sorry mate, bit of a stupid thing to do hiring if they were gonna have to let people go, wonder if they've been taking business advice from anyone we know.

We Decided Yet?

So had anyone else had any thoughts as to the 25th or the 2nd? as they're both getting quite close now that's either the coming Saturday, or the following week.

Hurrah!! the 2nd - now, what time?? and where??

Hello! Hope you lot are all keeping well.

Adam mentioned you lot were having an xmas do and although I hope my 1+ year long service (visions of rimmer in red dwarf there) qualifies me for attendence, I did run off a bit early! The first date would have been good for me, but I'm not sure about the 2nd.

Either way, hope you lot have a good xmas.

xmas party 2006

As we were all robbed of one last year, because it's a good excuse for a pissup somewhere other than my local, and because we're all a bunch of drunks, we should have one this year.

Originally wee dave suggested the 9th, but can no longer do this. The 25th of november sounds like a good alternative.

Any suggestions to date/time/place of meetage??

Mr kelly asked if a certain person with the same initals as the thin white duke was coming - instant 3 pint penalty i reckon

Blogger Kieran said...

Who the hell was is twd?

ill suggest a venue then or maybe we can let a coin decide

Heads - Barton
Tails - Spoons
if(coin == tails)
Heads - Square peg(corporation street one)
Tails - Giddy Bridge (bridge street one)

I am easy on a date/time

kieran - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thin_White_Duke

i think mr kelly is the weakest link in terms of dates as he has to travel the furthest - i can pretty much do any saturday, and i might be able to switch my day working from home to a friday if fridays are easiest for everyone.

I can do pretty much any date too if needs be (know that doesn't help sorry)

ello? ......ello? (is this on??)

Hey guys! Hmm, well i cannae do the 25th as i'm double booked! (Pfft, i dunno! ...no drinking for a month and two sessions come along at once!!)

Any other date should be ok though me-thinks!

6:02 pm  
Blogger Thumper said...

A few people have mentioned the 2nd as a possibilty, is there anyone who can't make the 2nd??

8:49 am  
Blogger Kieran said...

is there beer involved if the answer is yes I can make it, are women allowed? or is it no women no kids


On a side note and the wonders of the web I cant join this bloody blog because I have upgraded to blogger beta or some such nonsense and get trapped in an infinite loop of login to blogger links when I click the email link.
