All for driving a truck.

I can neither confirm nor deny our actual existance until the company stock-holders have been informed in public disclosure (should be Wednesday next week I'm told, French corporate lawyers work like a cross between glacial drift and the three blind mice - as stated herein after therewith as pecuniation of the contractated services as performed heretofore by PERFORMER, on the other hand...shoot me).GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

Wow, sounds like the inspiration for 'Grandma's Boy.'GorillaTicTacs wrote:

Computer game writers are another bunch of racketeers while we're on the topic. When I was a designer, even with good writing skills, we weren't allowed to do any of the actual in-game voice scripting or writing. They outsourced instead for $20,000 on my last game (same guy got $50,000 on the current project) to a guy that is a college professor.
The guy farms the work out to students for good grades or peanuts, and banks the difference. The quality of the stuff we got back looked like it took about 2 hours to pound out, and wasn't even sent through a basic MS Word grammar check...not to mention was racist and offensive to the ears when read aloud by bad voice actors. $50,000 (about 7% of the project budget) for offensive crap that we're forced to use because we spent the money on it, and the upper management thinks he's a god...and its not even his own work. Cartoon voice actors working by the day also make quite a bit of bank, but I don't think the work is very steady.
