Waiting for the Demigod update…

For your amusement…

[A scene from outside]

When the update gets done and the gears start to turn to start uploading it to servers, there’s little to do except wait for it. Unless, of course, you’re a kook with bees.

Not much information in this video so skip it unless you want to see what the outside of the Stardock building is like. :)

Didn't you learn to wear gloves from the last bee incident?!  ;P

There's a lot more wildlife around the building than I was expecting. I assumed it was all concrete in the area around the building. I tried looking it up on google maps one time but they don't have the street view for the area around the Stardock building. Looks pretty neat.

 

PS. Woot for the new patch being uploaded.

PPS. Hiring for the RPG team eh? Looking for an impressionable college student to do random tasks around the office? ;)

There's a Bee demigod included in the patch, isn't there?

I highly doubt they would go through all that trouble as to transporting in a fully functional bee hive for promotional purposes.

Neat. After all the Demigod problems are fixed I would love to see a tour of Stardock :D

Not until I work up my Kirby demigod. Suck up units and spit them out for damage or take their form. It would be awesome :).

LOL...

I've always dreamed of being a game developer... I guess I will stick to being a doctor.

Well, off to my Pinot Noir and "The Wrestler" on BluRay.

Can't wait for the multiplayer improvements :)

Good luck and Godspeed.

What exactly is Brad Warell trying to tell us? :/ can't watch the video and I kinda don't understand.
End of GenoZStriker's quote

He's sharing a small part of his work day with us.  Specifically, the boring part:  waiting while an update is 'packaged' and uploaded to the servers.

 

 

That said, his comment on hiring an RPG staff makes Ron-boy all sad; I'm aiming to graduate in May of 2010 (assuming university doesn't schedule too many of the required classes in conflict with each other), not may of 2009 :(

You good be working as a collector to pay the bills through college Frog = P

 

Trust me - collecting is... fun...........

Good, since I finally tried multiplayer again only to find out that what had once worked no longer does.  Might've just been some bad luck on my part though.  *shrug*  Guess I'll play another skirmish while I wait.
