Secondly Fuck you for never even so much as giving me a job interview for all those times I applied for level design / cinematic open positions at Bethesda. I would have moved to the USA and worked crunch hours, and I would have been ambitious and would have made a good project lead. I'm not talking out of my ass here - you passed on someone who had genuine talent and interest in Fallout and wanted to do the work.
You grab the world by the balls! You do what Cleve did and move to the US, buy a gun, work out, and between reps make the worlds greatest RPG! You don't wait for the Bethesda's of the world to save you - they can't - Bethesda's too busy making the next blockbuster! Rely on yourself! Move to the US, buy a gun, make those levels!
Cleve is a coward. He fled the country because a little bit of government overreach striked fear in him. What's he going to do when SHTF in the USA? Probably run off again to where ever is safer because he's too much of a coward to stay put and hold his ground. Pathetic.

Also; guns are the cowards choice of weapon.

Why does the main character have an English accent? He's located on the east coast of post-apocalyptic America and it's 200 years since the apocalypse happened.
Shit tier world building tbh.

Maybe only the rich wasps survived the bombing in the north east and over the course of time in an effort to become even more snooty tried to turn their new england accents into old england accents?

Yeah well, I was mostly joking. I can't think of anything more neckbeardish than scrutinizing machinimas of all things to such a degree.

You got any cool stories about homosexual/pedophilic Australian actors you worked with in game development while trying to create a game about dick monsters?

First of all, I want to say Fuck you for featuring my Fallout machinima on your official blog back in 08, but then had the audacity to tell me I couldn't monetize it on Youtube.

Secondly Fuck you for never even so much as giving me a job interview for all those times I applied for level design / cinematic open positions at Bethesda. I would have moved to the USA and worked crunch hours, and I would have been ambitious and would have made a good project lead. I'm not talking out of my ass here - you passed on someone who had genuine talent and interest in Fallout and wanted to do the work.

Thirdly, Fuck you Obsidian for acknowledging that shitty Nuka Break Youtube series with easter eggs in Fallout New Vegas, but I never so much as got a reference in any Fallout game for my work on Youtube, which was infinitely more inspired and not some commercialized Nuka Cola & nuFallout merch advertisement disguised as a fan series.

Fourthly, fuck you for becoming so damn shit at making games in subsequent years that I would no longer want to make any kind of fan works of your games and I certainly would never want to work for you. That time has long passed and I'm eternally going to be bitter over the fact you had a great thing in your hands (Fallout) and you totally fucked up. At least I can sleep at night knowing I had nothing to do with it.
Let me guess, someone stole your sweet roll?

Strap Yourselves In
Dear Drakortha,

First of all, we at Bethesda Game Studios would like to thank you for your recent application as Lead Game Designer. We would also like to thank you for your recent applications for the additional following positions: Assistant Lead Game Designer, Game Designer, Junior Game Designer, Senior Code Designer, Assistant Senior Code Designer, Code Designer, Lead Artist, Co-Lead Artist, Assistant Artist, Game Design Intern, Coding Intern, Janitor, and Security Guard.

While we feel that your qualifications and skillset are quite interesting, you do not appear to be a good fit for any of the above.

However, in the future, should you wish to re-apply for any open positions, we welcome you to do so, on the following conditions:

- You refrain from calling Todd Howard's residence after the hours of 10:30PM Pacific time.

- You refrain from habitually posting on our official Twitter/X page claiming YOU ARE READY.

- You refrain from standing outside our studio offices (any of them) and slathering the lobby windows with whatever that pink liquid is spelling out FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HIRE ME

If you promise that you will stop doing these things, we promise in turn that we'll lift the restraining order and reconsider your application(s). Give us several months for each, however.

Sincerely,

Welsch P. Sinclaire,
Head Officer, Bethesda Game Studios Human Resources

The audacity of telling you that you couldn't monetize a machinima made with their content.

At least you were a good goy and helped promote their brand for free.

Bullshit, because 2008 Youtube was a different time than 2024. Back then Youtube was not yet embraced by most of old media. It was more of a phenomenon at the time and they weren't sure about allowing their content to get monetized. But these days you have grifters showing full unedited gameplay on their videos with their soy face overlayed over the top of it making 'reactions' and it's perfectly allowed.

But a full blown machinima with it's own voice acting, story, etc. NOPE. Breach of Youtube policy - Delete channel.

I mean I guess its a trend with western devs, you do something decent or that sells wells it means license to be a piece of shit or get lazy and not release anything else worth of our time and money.
Staying on the thread OP, its a lesson don't sell your work for free, never. Parasites everywhere.

I was 17-18 years old, it was still a few years before I realized everything was shit. I was a naive dumbfuck who thought everything was going to get better.

So let me see if i understand it correctly. "Everything is shit" because a wide-eyed boy that invested too much of his existencial meaning on a media piece, as nerds boys tends to do, was not taken as, let me check, "project lead" (in time, i am sure, you seem such a reasonable guy) and many years later is still butthurt about it, instead of growing up and think, "hell, i was such a moron, back then", decided that life is shit and lean on "i could have been great if thay allowed me". And guns are a coward's weapon, which is i will use the much more honorable "rant in a forum" wordmanship - and that is not a typo - Warrior stuff indeed. Such that it sounds like reading a SJW. You warriors truly are off the same ilk. :salute:

Outstanding analysis, but you got something critically wrong; Everything *IS* shit. Prove me wrong, faggot.

Why? To discuss of "everything" is to discuss of metaphysics and to discuss seriously of metaphysics on a game forum i should be out of my mind, and i already took my meds as Modron has kindly suggested.

Is your life shit? I do not know you, but from what you say and how you act, it is, and i am not going to dispute that.

What i do say is this. Life is though? Yeah, it is relentless boxer. On a good day. So? That you have luck or not is not in your power, what to do with what you have, even the shit, is, if you are a man.

Everything that you play is certified shit, and I shouldn't have to tell you. But the way you're reacting tells me you don't like to hear it. Too bad. Welcome to the Codex btw.
