Do everything, get nothing done.

I was on a big name sports project. Everything was going well, and I steadily bumped my hours from 21 to 40 during my first 6 months.

I got more and more leadership roles, then one day nearing beta they announced a special demo mode for previous game owners, I had already had leadership in one area of the game, so they gave me leadership over the new demo mode as well! I had be in contact with QA in another state where the game was being developed while still being in charge of another part of the game. I’m a lowly contractor, but hey the job was kind of easy.

As we kept nearing beta, i eventually hit a week where I did not submit any bugs. I had been running back and forth giving new builds out, checking old bugs out to make sure they were fixed, and if not, I’d have to download a new build and check it on there, then submit a bug SPECIFIC for just that build if it was on there.

After a while I realized I was staying extremely busy but nothing was ACTUALLY getting done… So fast forward a few months, the beta’s done and getting ready to get certified. People are getting moved off the project and you know what us leads do? Play games, browse the net, and go around the building… me included.

Then I got moved to an extremely easy project. I love being in QA. It’s so good.

70% of bats are insectivores. Get it right, Bat Guy.

Re: Story

Yay, I guess? I'm not sure what I'm cheering for.

I'm not a vampire! I'm not a vampire bat!

Says the guy dressed as a vampire.

Comic is good
and the guy in the tale is the bad guy in all other tales.

Henroid

There's something adorable about a grown person dressing as a vampire but insisting they are a bat.

Keep reminding us all what a total ass you are, Isaac.
(Pretty clear by now why (1) he's no longer a developer and (2) he was, and perhaps still is, living out of his car.)

Why? Did he hire delusional bat-people too?

Travan

Regardless of the accuracy or legitimacy of how the dude self-identifies, Isaac is jamming his face down the gift-horses mouth with the passion of an Olympiad. Dumb.

Isaac is a full-blown hero in this strip. He's finally redeemed himself.

i am curious to see where this goes. isaac is acting like a bully all of the sudden... why? i bet there's a pretty good reason, and i like how this scene shows that isaac is a complicated character. it's more than OK to have the protagonist be a jerk sometimes, it makes a more interesting story.

Music-chan

Sometimes I wonder if Isaac is actually a jerk or being sincere about things in a totally insincere way. Either way, I find it amusing.

He's teasing bat guy because believing that you are actually a bat is so fundamentally ridiculous that you can't help but make jokes.

People also laugh at clowns.

Batman doesn't.

Batman doesn't think he's a bat, he has harnessed the instinctual power of the bat to strike fear into the heart of his enemies.

Duh.

Duh.

But there are so many other reasons to laugh at Batman.

A dude who needs super underwear to control his junk is a pretty daunting dude. Seriously. You don't want to get hit in the head by that when he does a flip over you.
