A bunch of people worked on national treasures (mostly traditional palaces or tombs) and took roughly $2,948,880 as fees... even though they had no right to be working on said treasures. They faked their professional certificates. o_o

I swear, I can hear a voice yelling "Fire!" in the background music of Phobos Lab (E1M5) in Doom. It's creeping me out.

Can't say I can. Maybe they're just talking to you?

To be fair, I don't hear it. I'm quite sure it isn't from the source track/
The opening note is the same instrument and pitch as the one from TEST/FrankenTurrets.

I'm certain I've seen mentioned around the place that the songs from Doom are a variety of covers and influenced by other bands, "Alice in Chains" was one of the bands I think but someone more knowledgeable of metal would have to confirm this.

WTF is going on with the Harvest Moon series.

They changed American localization companies, probably because the old one was horrible at their job.

Except the old company (Natsume) holds the rights to the name "Harvest Moon". So the newest actual HM game is being localized as "Story of Seasons" instead.

Natsume responds to the whole thing by hijacking the brand name by creating their own game independantly of the main series developers and giving it the Harvest Moon name (Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley).

So now there's going to be two competing HM games coming out this year: One actual HM with a different name, and one with the actual name from a completely different developer.

I have this feeling that a lot of customer confusion will ensue :P

Maybe even suin!

Also, I have the feeling that a lot of HM players who don't know better will buy HM:LV.

Ah yes, favourite tactic of people looking for idiots that do as they're told and aren't likely to replace them.

You could always try not revealing the whole truth, making you seem more employable. You're not lying, you're just not telling them everything.
You're an economist, aren't you? :P

Where are those good jobs. Now there's even a line for 'qualification'! >_>
Good work society. Good work. <_<

On a positive note: Maybe they're subtly saying 'aim higher [Truean], because this job isn't where you[r potential and skills] might be happy'

We all do, lol.

Still, I'd like to have a holiday home in that world.
