Help me, oh Shack, you're my only hope.

Alright, so apparently I must do an "informational interview" with someone who works in the field of IT. The one I had lined up sort of got pushed back to beyond the due date of the assignment (which is next Tuesday!) and I must endeavor to find somebody else with whom to conduct this interview.

It will be short--six to ten questions about the industry, the day-in-the-life of an entry-level person, and various career and job related topics. Ideally this would be conducted face-to-face, but since there are few shackers in the Indianapolis area, an email, Skype, or telephone interview shall be acceptable.

Are any of you a bad enough dude to perform such an interview? I don't have any specific requirements other than that you currently hold a job in IT or some related field (even if it's contract or freelance work) and can submit to a twenty minute interview anytime between Friday and Monday. If you want to set something up, please post or ShackMessage me. I shall check this thread periodically throughout the evening.

Much appreciated is your assistance in this matter!

I'm going to eat 30 cans of beans in a row then have a light that evening if Valve announces they're bringing in hats, items, and rpg elements into Counter Strike 2. They already f**ked up TF2 with that, I don't want them to do the same to another great mod. CS2 isn't off limits for them since they already dabbled with one game that started as a mod. They already set the precedent.

That Medal of Honor SP video looked okay, but the weapon model movement is janky. It looks like what I'd expect to be something out of Battlefield Bad Company 2 (having not played it); apparently they felt that waiting 20 to 30 seconds to reload an M249 SAW was too annoying (then again, that was one of Yahtzee Croshaw's complaints about CoD4 years ago). Otherwise, it looks pretty good, but I hope there's more to the game than some scripted jaunts across rocky hills. The playtime had better be north of 7 hours.

LOL @ Rapala Pro Bass Fishing commercial :D.
