Explaining software development methods by flying to Mars
  • Waterfall is missing the part where the customer realizes they didn't actually want to go to Mars they just wanted to view it out of a telescope.

    But now they can only travel to Mars and the telescope is out of the budget because you spent so much money on the rocket

  • Yeah that's fair.

    IMO a lot of the subtlety comes from the imagery and symbols around you as you progress through the game. The vibrant tree that you pass that burns up when you look back, etc.

    As far as gameplay goes it is very linear. The only "choice" is to stop playing. If I remember correctly the development behind Spec Ops was very rushed so they didn't have time to so any of those branching paths.

    I appreciate it like I would a visual novel more than I do an interactive game.

  • I think you can patient gamer it but it only works if you're heavily familiar with that time.

    I was really into COD4 and grew up during the Bush administration so I knew exactly what Spec Ops was critiquing. If you don't have that experience though I agree it does not land.

  • Go Your Own Way
  • I don't have the actual source but I read it on Wikipedia way back

    Don't know why it got deleted.

    "It's pretty clear to everyone who the song [Redneck] is about. Just watch the Killadelphia DVD, and you'll see what was going on. I love Randy like a brother, but that doesn't mean we don't have our problems. So if I have to be the one to say something, then I will. And if that means that someone's gonna get punched in the mouth, then someone's gonna get punched in the mouth... And if that means someone's going to have to sing a lyric about themselves, then they're gonna sing a lyric about themselves."
