@acbarrentine Good for you! That was one of the reasons I left - I couldn't stand the constant Damocles sword. || Yay me. Well done :(

@jinkwell But thanks for the offer ;)
@acbarrentine Not when it comes to layoffs. If corporate says "cut costs 15%", mgmt has to do something. Had a 100 ppl round last year...
Heading home now. Can't wait for this week to be over. Probably won't twitter, so g'night, folks.
@jinkwell If it were competition, I could deal. But nobody knows exactly, and once it happens, it's just "reduce headcount by xxx".
@PaoloPace It is part of the future, yes. Look at the earnings Zynga has, e.g.
@clintgunter Wish it were that easy. There's also recession, piracy, shifting market
@acbarrentine Tell me about it. Hope things are going well for you guys?
@burgerbecky Tell me about it. Nothing's happened in L.A. yet (that I know of), but you never know...
@burgerbecky Of course, I just bought a car yesterday. Let's add some pressure :(

@emajkut True. It just makes life for everybody at EA so much more interesting...
Frak. It's hard not to be afraid when they announce a 17% layoff within 5 months. Not the best thing for morale...
@Karoli It might be helpful if Obama - who promised transparency - occasionally gave an explanation. That got a bit lost lately
RT @poshmama: #ATTSUX RT @anniemal AT&T, America's fastest 3g network. so fast they finish the call 4 u. By dropping it.
@Jenilynn West of Lincoln? I suggest you bring money ;) Kidding aside, supposedly it's affordable towards Pacific Palisades
@The_HengeKeeper I'm in L.A. so the heater is not that big an issue. And so far, not affected by layoffs. But still... running a bit scared
@The_HengeKeeper Thanks for the good wishes!
@emajkut Not cut today. WILL BE cut by March 31st 2010
@chrisbrogan Nope. Same here. SUpposedly fixed w/ 3.0.2. For me, it just got marginally better.
What a day. Giant layoffs, heater is broken ($3100 to replace???). Can I just go back to bed?
@Shoq Are you surprised? Really?
@The_HengeKeeper At least we caught the heater - it was blowing out increasing amounts of carbon monoxide.
@Shoq Best part: Takes 5 seconds to verify you: http://search.twitter.com/search... || Offensive words in link. Do not click if easily offended ;)
@raquelita At some pt in past, @davewiner recommended this (or a precursor) http://replay-video.com/sound-r... || His rec: http://archive.scripting.com/2005... at bottom
@avflox There's a whole "Dear Penthouse" story right there ;)
I am totally amazed that people see EA's layoff and the PlayFish acquisition as contradicting. At least to me, the two are clearly related..
@GeekyChic Could you send me a link to the source for that?
@nuclearfossil I think it's a complete shift away from AAA titles. Which - IMHO - are a dying breed
