R type programmer?

[ QUOTE ]
<QR>

R-Type is a hard core shooter.

Therefore I can only assume that CoH/V is going to be also turned into a hardcore shooter, with a lot more twitch action.

So, CoH/V might have R-Type programmers, but does it have Xenon 2 Megablast programmers?

Oh lord I remember that game. Fun as hell. I use to play it at the arcade and then walk over and stick a few tokens into Dragon's Lair before the night was out

Uh... no. But R-Type is still a decent difficulty.

How many times can they be hit? If that is a single hit type shooter... I refuse to believe that is possible. :P

A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

Kinda a humdrum guess...
I have two employees with the same name, and very similar programming styles/work ethics. I'll call them Jim. I said to our recruiter not too long ago that we really need another Jim; meaning someone with the same skillset, etc.

My hypothesis is they have a couple of programmers with a specific skillset (what skillset, dunno) named say Rich and Rob; so, internally they call them the Rs. So now they need more Type-Rs.

That's a solid theory

It is single hit. However, for these sorts of games your hit box is typically a single pixel in the center of your ship, rather than the entire sprite.

Its still fairly impressive to see someone play them well, though. I sure as heck can't do it.

It means they want programmers with racing stripes. Preferably red racing stripes because as we all know, red = GO FASTAH

Alternately, perhaps they want RATED ARRRR SUPERSTARRRR programmers in order to increase the awesomeness levels in the office.

[/ QUOTE ]No, the most effective go-faster stripes are blue on a white background.

A better go faster tool is flames painted on the car.

The best go faster tool, is actual flames on the car!

"And for us this is the end of all stories, and we can mostly say they lived happily ever after. But for them it was the beginning of the real story. All there life in this world and all there adventures in Narnia had only be the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of The Great Story which no one on earth has ever read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before" - C.S Lewis, The Last Battle.

R stands for Radioactive.

Matt has let his alter ego of Positron go to his head and he's put all the programmers in radiation suits to contain their energy.

We're sitting in a meeting and our Development Director said "We've contracted some Type R programmers".

I had never heard this term before, so I jotted it down on my notepad, so I could inquire about it later.

Just then our Lead Engineer asks "What is Type R?"

Our Dev Director looked stumped. "What do you mean?"

"You said 'Type R Programmers'" said the Lead Engineer.

"No, I said 'High Powered'." said the Dev Director.

"No you didn't. You said 'Type R.' See I wrote it down." I said, and showed him my notepad that said "Type R?".

So now, everything high powered and awesome in the office is "Type R".

I am now on a crusade to get it used outside our offices. I should add it to urban dictionary or something.

Your Dev Director used Type R in an open meeting?

Guys, the Illuminati will have a new position opening soon.. Dev Director at a game studio. Yeah.. yeah the old one was moved to "special projects".

Reminds me of a game I sued to play on I think the Super Nintendo. Does your DevDir play a lot of emulators on company machines?

I'm confused. Did you sue them to be able to play the game or did you sue them so you could play it on the SNES?

If they let us shotgun load Type F Plasma Torpedoes in an R launcher I am so going to send the dev team fresh cheesecakes.

I will update the job title posted on the door of my cube at work tomorrow to reflect this. "Type R Server Guy" has a nice ring to it...although my wife thinks the "R" should be backwards.

Yes, we have doors on our 7 foot tall cubes. No, I don't know why. They even have locks. <baffled>

Hah! That reminds me of our inside joke/catch phrase from our old MUDding days.

One of my friends used a shortcut, re = right ear, to get a piece of loot called right ear from these mobs. One day, he was telling to one of our friends "you are BS". He typed "you a re BS". It came out as "you a right ear BS".

Now, all of us from that crew use Right Ear BS as our term for awesome and/or overpowered.

See, Positron DOES pay attention to things. Granted, in this case, it was very much a "what the hell did he just say?!" thing, but he does pay attention. And he even took notes!

Which means Posi was either a total geek in high school/college, or he learned way early on that smart gamers always write down weird stuff the GM says so you can call him/her out on it later.
