Global Financial "Crisis"?

[Layabout]

Get a job you bum!

Why don't you ask for royalties from commercial AGS games. Write it into the contract! 10% of every sale!

Take that entreprenurial game makers!

Go begging back to Tesco. There's no way *they're* going to go bust.

Yeah what with the 10s of copies sold he'll make at least £5 a month.

You likely lost your job because you dared to leave them in the first place. How do you know your new company went bust because of the financial crisis? You really shouldn't have pissed off Tesco.

[edmundito]

Oh no!

Hey, if you would like a job making tools/engines for a living and still keep the full rights to AGS, oh and also you don't mind moving to America, send me a message. I work at a small studio and we're looking for people. I've looked at your portfolio (uh... AGS) and I'm pretty impressed. I'm serious. 

[Dualnames]

Well, you can always come to Greece and sell souvlakia(plural of souvlaki), but well, we all rather you didn't. About you being fired,  you can whine about it and die of dehydratation, or you can go find a job. There are always crisis ahead and behind us, but once a rock always a rock...whatever.

I wish you the best of luck, CJ. With references like that, you should at least get a cameo in a soon-to-be-released 800x600 res game.

[AGA]

He already has frequent cameo roles in one of the most popular AGS game series. Something else to add to his résumé.

Sorry to hear about your job, CJ.  Even though my money is worth only pennies now, I'm sure I could throw a few your way if necessary. 

I bought a pizza yesterday and the price had gone up like 2 dollars from a week ago .

Jesus, now I'm depressed!

Sorry to hear about that CJ, I think you should sell AGS, or at least get a monthly fee, 4000 members at 1euro a month is good money don't you think? And if you loose half of those members just rise the fee to 2euros
all the best luck to you

Chris Martenson, a scientist who over the last 5 years has become extremely concerned with the world economy, produced a really brilliant crash course on economics and the root causes of inflation, debt, and market bubbles.

You can view each part of the course here, http://www.chrismartenson.com/crash-course, and for the less-economically savvy people out there I highly recommend it.  There were a few things he touched upon that I hadn't considered before (like how Earth's population growth has reached the vertical phase of an exponential curve), so it's interesting even for people who study the subject!

I highly recommend you all give this a look, especially any proponents of the Federal Reserve banking system and fiat currencies in general.

Thanks for the link to those movies, ProgZmax. They look very interesting, and they've got to make more sense than the talking heads on my TV screen, who all seem insistent that it's the fault of the other political party.

CJ, if money gets tight for you, why not slap up a donate button? I'd throw some money your way for all the AGS goodness you've provided over the years. Things are tough on this side of the pond too, but I'm sure I could cough up twenty dollars or something. (Which is like three pounds and some change, I think).

Hope the job search goes well  for you.

Q: Won't you at least accept a donation?
A: If a future situation was to leave me in financial hardship, I would consider accepting donations. However, for now, I have a full-time job and it's not an issue.

Yeah, this had been a nice month for my gambling, so why don't you open a paypal account so that "we the people" can get some love back to you, mr. Jones?
