CrazyTolradi posted:If you happen to do a thesis, you're going to remember the topic because you're basically making that thesis your life for a very long period of time. You don't have a vague topic like "Oh it's international marketing"; a thesis is usually pretty targeted and specific. And probably know more about the topic then stumbling through, "And I think we actually um... implemented, like, new visas and stuff." Was her thesis on the effects of these changes on international marketing? no, because she didn't do a thesis. If you were going to lie about a masters degree why not just say it was a masters by coursework, and not research?

when you write a thesis you are literally the expert on a very specific topic of all human knowledge. sandi can speak for no more than a broken sentence on her topic. a failed australian actress is literally living a multi-millionaire lifestyle in santa monica only because she is just that talented

Maybe it is normal for someone with her experience and training to take an entry level job at a small time production company, I dunno.

i guess if through repeated experience you leaned that you can say literally anything to anyone ever and any person that tries to gainsay you would have their lives instantly ruined i guess it might become a bit more clear how a right-thinking person could write such adolescent lies and expect to be taken very seriously. or maybe not i don't know i'm not the best marketing person of all time and have been since i was a small child.

Necatus posted:Tried transcribing the interview she gave where she discusses some of this... gave up at the 37 minute mark though, there was just too much bullshit to handle. Her bachelor in science means at best she would be a researcher in a lab, processing data coming in from the field. She might get some on site work (scuba diving isn't that hard to get) but it's not swimming amongst the whales like you're bloody Ocean Girl. She's also mistaking a business degree with an MBA. Much of what she is going on about looks more like she read the course overview on a website - you study international business, not do a thesis on that topic. If you did it would be a very narrow topic related to international study : how to better use technology for international meetings, or something like that. Scholarships are really only awarded if your grade average across the board is either credit or distinction. You also have to apply for it under very tight rules and keep that level of achievement up during the scholarship. An "offer" in her book might have had simply been a letter saying "do you want to apply for this scholarship, go here and take a test". She's pushing a lot of ordinary into special snowflake territory. Her dean's merit letter alludes to her trying to start out in the medical field in a different university, but she didn't finish. Also she has no thesis listed in the archives of where she went to study marine biology. I get a "too cool for school" vibe from her which suggests she's struggled with keeping afloat in class and if she did any studies beyond her science Bachelor, she likely dropped out growing bored - or basically thinking a career as an actress was a faster path to success. So around 2003, she tried to get into acting, mostly working as a model bouncing between Sydney and LA as far as her visa allowed, which gave a nice shine to the image of being a glamorous globe trotting model. Then picking a copmany name from the top of the list gets job as an intern for Ascendant Pictures around 200/5.. Despite working amongst a reasonably active production company she didn't manage to score any roles on any of the features they make so therein lies the curious question of how an intern gets her hooks into a failed producer who wants to relive his glory as a game developer wunderkind from 1992 twenty years on. I suspect Roberts must have been feeling pretty sore after the collapse so anyone who is around to lavish praises on him likely wins his heart. Just Sandi clearly sees an opportunity that she never had before and takes it with relish growing from cheerleader into cheer-leech.

Hahaha, look at this thread full of idiots. You guys don't even understand the development process. Chris Roberts is a visionary and SQ42 is going to be the biggest hit ever and you will all be eating your own words. No other company provides such an open development process for the public to see and due to ignorance you all think their actions are indicative of failure. Well here's a giant knowledge drop for you: every development studio on this earth has delays, feature cancellations, and scope readjustments, and employee turnover over time. While you are all being ignorant CIG is busy with their heads down making the best space sim while turning the publisher model of making games on its head and revolutionizing the games industry at the same time.

University debt isn't a problem in Australia as you only have to make repayments if you earn over $50,000AUD inside Australia per financial year. Also, while there are plans to change this, any money you earn in another country doesn't force you to make any repayments (as of yet, anyway).

for all of you who are genuinely concern of Ben's health, this was during June 2014 when Wingman's hangar was replaced by this poo poo show called AtV. he used a helmet cam to show the office around much like Eric Peterson does during Wingman's hangar. if you can hear it, Ben is already out of breath, panting very hard just by climbing up the stairway. CIG if you are reading this, Ben is basically a disabled blob. you should provide elevator/lift for him if your new office is above one floor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ70Cmsx63A&t=96s

G0RF posted:This is the same impression I've had every since listening to Sandi's convoluted and bizarre answer to the "where did you meet Chris?" question on that older Batgirl interview. It's such a cliche but it's hard to see it another way. Sandi has a far more complex and darker history than has been talked of. She is independantly wealthy and from a rich and privalleged background. To expand on this however is to enter creepy land.
