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.

It's obvious. They fully slotted all of their "Programming Melee" attacks with as much damage as possible and their "System Defense" with as much defense and resistance.

IMO, any programmer willing to spend the time to solve the problem you send off as an interview screener qualifies as fairly high powered.

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.

I confess to being one of the few dev fangirls who does NOT rabidly seek out every detail of the developers' personal lives. Matt may well have been a gaming geek in high school, but I didn't ask him that during his gaming session (I was too busy fangirling over Sean Fish, to tell the truth).

Two years ago I moved some 2000 miles away from a longtime group of close gaming friends and haven't been able to find another tabletop gaming group since. Being able to take turns between online gaming and D&D, White Wolf, or D20 Modern games was a great way to keep the creative energies flowing.
I miss that a lot.

Type Rs only handle really well but are otherwise very slow compared to competition. He should change it to either
Type SRT programmers or SS.

How many times can they be hit? If that is a single hit type shooter... I refuse to believe that is possible. :P
[/ QUOTE ]
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.
[/ QUOTE ]
That explains why there were so many hits that didn't count.
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
Type R is short for Type Racing Specification. This is usually found in the automotive world. The "R" can be found on Hondas, Nissans, Audis, etc. Type S refers to the Type Sport. So yes Type R stuff (and people) are higher powered and more effective at what they do.

Well, BaBs is a Type R programmer, which of course means, he is Red security clearance. Obviously, knowing what BaB's security clearance is, is above your own security clearance. Please report to the nearest termination booth.
