  2. He's almost poor by slashedmydot · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He only makes something like $18.75 per hour... that's not the kind of money I expected.

    He earned 7 something (I'll translate that into 7.5) per hour when he started and at the end he earned 150% more. So 7.5 * 2.5 = 18.75. Let's say he works 160 hours per month: 160 * 18.75 = 3000. Let's be kind and give him 13 payschecks per year: 3000 * 13 = 39 000.

      39K/yr is not poor. Check yourself. Thats well above the average American salary.

      Yes! I listen to NYC Speedcore and do math at 3AM. I suggest you try it too.
  3. Salmon Max? by tequesta · · Score: 5, Funny

    Jonathan What are some of the other game genres you enjoy and the games in them?
    Jeff [...]The Lucas Arts and the Sierra Online stuff; that's probably where I really fell in love with the adventure games. [...]I'm crossing my fingers that the new Salmon Max is gonna be good.

     Myself, I found Salmon Max vastly inferior to Polish Quest, Funky Island or Day of the Testicle. Seriously, can somebody shoot the guy who transcribed this?
