![]() Need a sword? You can hammer “X” at a grindstone roughly 10,000 times, or you can buy a perk from the shopkeeper to speed up the process. This sets the satirical nail in place for DLC Quest to hammer again and again. You walk right, collect some coins, then talk to a shopkeeper to buy the necessary physical abilities. When the game begins, you can’t even jump or walk left - like everything else in the game, such luxuries must be unlocked as extra content. Fortunately, you don’t have to actually spend your real-life cash to buy all the fluff.Ĭurrency is earned simply by navigating the environment to collect floating coins. In the wake of games like Final Fantasy: All the Bravest, this scenario rings particularly poignant. Light on story, lighter on the action, Quest exists solely as an excuse to drain your wallet and compel you to keep playing, for very little reward, just to spend more cash. Rig: Intel i7-2600k GHz, with 8GB of RAM, GeForce GTX 580 GPU (SLI)ĭLC Quest is an action-platformer with a very simple premise - defeat the bad guy and save the day. One fears its ability to give some very rich men some very tacky ideas.ĭLC Quest (PC, Xbox Live Indie Games) ![]() Deep down, however, there’s something very scary about it. This spoof of the videogame industry is cute, and funny enough to raise a few smiles. Though it satirizes the ridiculous idea of a game so excessively monetized you can’t even get character animations without paying, one can easily imagine rooms of suited executives, eagerly discussion such an idea. While I personally think such content has its place, the piecemeal selling of a game risks becoming a tasteless endeavor - and videogame publishers have proven unafraid to exploit the practice to miserable extremes.ĭLC Quest is a vision of depths no company has quite yet sunk to, but the scary thing about it is just how plausible it is. Downloadable content is a touchy subject among the vocal game playing community.

I found a strength training workout called the 5x5 matrix written about by Pavel Tsatsouline in Tim Ferriss’ Four Hour Body. Sometimes I joke in my head that I couldn’t really “train” people to do this because it was too simple. That meant benching 300 (damn you last 15 lbs!), squatting 405, and deadlifting 495. I started 2015 with a simple fitness goal - reach the 1000 lb club. ![]() ![]() I think you should adopt KISS into your fitness routine, your work, and your relationships. It’s why I’m adopting KISS as my 2016 mantra. I’ve read about it over and over again, but this year I felt its power in my life. I finally experienced the power of simplicity in 2015. Everyday I spend time rethinking how we tell stories, ways to condense ideas, and abstraction whenever possible. I still need to take this advice with my own personal story. I had to take this advice when we were designing Motive. It was difficult to recruit and retain people to work on the vision until I understood why everyone jumped in the boat in the first place and they kept rowing despite the tidal waves. I had to take this advice to heart in the design and development with Technium (we’re launching our revamp oh so soon!). After you’ve hooked them on the idea, the details matter much less. I realize that not everyone thinks like a lawyer.Investors, customers, strategic partners all hear and cling to one thing when you pitch. We get that, we understand.īut as you approach counsel regarding a commercial litigation matter, it will benefit everyone if you can try to boil the commercial litigation matter down to answering completely and honestly the five questions listed above, leaving the emotional baggage at home. Yes, there is almost invariably a certain amount of emotion that accompanies any commercial litigation matter. Create a strategy when you can take the emotion out of what is now a commercial litigation matter. Take the emotion out of commercial litigationĪn additional point that I made to the prospective client regarding his commercial litigation matter is that things will proceed best if he can calm down. Then summarize all relevant facts using Who? What? When? Where? Why?

You need to know the facts of your case to make sure your attorney has a litigation strategy to handle your matter.īefore approaching an attorney regarding a commercial litigation matter, take the time necessary to carefully identify, locate and assemble all relevant documents. I remember these questions from grade school as guides to help write newspaper articles or other written reports.Įven as adults in the business world, those are good questions to consider and answer before approaching an attorney regarding a commercial litigation matter. ![]() I also took some time to explain to the former client the need to keep the commercial litigation matter simple if he wanted our recommended local counsel to accept this representation and to thereafter handle it on a cost-effective basis. Instead, I referred the former client to an attorney with offices near Guernsey County to handle the matter. It did not make financial sense to have me handle the matter and travel to Guernsey County repeatedly for a relatively modest dispute. I declined to get involved in the commercial litigation claim, as it made far more economic sense for the former client to engage local counsel. Recently I was approached by a former client and asked to handle a piece of commercial litigation for him in Guernsey County, Ohio. ![]() Grade Scale Separator: Input how you want the grades to display to students.For example, 3.8/4.0 instead of just 3.8.
