lol, what a crock of shit. You're such a wage slave. If you work for a company that has fits over you taking an unplanned personal day then you have a shit job.

I'm sure if it is that much of a problem for someone to take off at any given time, you would not be allowed to. Just b/c you have time off that you haven't used isn't a golden ticket to do whatever the hell you want. :dork:

And for someone to be complaining over the past couple of days about being an adult, sure doesn't know how to drop a little interargument.

Wage slave? I call it being responsible. Maybe that's part of the reason why this country is going to shit. Most people don't have a real sense of commitment to their job.

Fucking losers. :olo:

Moron. You're talking to a guy that spent 5 hours at work today trying to get a late project back on track. You're a fucking wage slave because you think that taking a personal day is a detriment to the company.

tnf, you should obviously do the responsible thing and not play the game until june when you have your unpaid vacation. think of the children...and the judgmental tight-asses.

I don't know if you're trying to imply that he's got it easy, but I've known a few grade school teachers outside the classroom and that's far from the truth. Many grade papers and set up curriculum at home, get in earlier than students arrive and leave well after they do, etc.

Broad brush there dippy. I said no such thing. My statement was specifically regarding taking a day off to play video games.

Feel free to turn this into something more. Because you're going to have to in order to make your point.

You've said right there in that quote that taking a day off to play video games is detrimental to employers and the nation. Why the fuck do you seem to think that there's some sort of difference between taking a day to go fishing/skiing/basketweaving or to play a video game? THERE ISN'T ONE.

I didn't realize that the effects the personal days you take off have on the place you work depend on the reasons you took said days off. By your own logic, why isn't it worse that you've taken time away from your family to play BF2? I mean really, taking time away from a wife and kid to play video games?

Nobody needs to turn this into anything more because you've already made the point quite well - you think people should have a YGP-approved reason for using a day of leave, and the idea of them taking a day off work to do something is worse than you taking time away from a family to do the same thing.

edit: not that it is really significant, but I still have 95% of the sick leave I have built up over the years, so I don't feel too bad about using 3 days a year of vacation time.

Back on topic...

I knew the IGN cunt holes were smoking crack. The 360 version is the better product "over all", but does have slightly more pop up:

Frame rate, which is most important of all, is better on 360.

No, ya assfuck. I never said anything about one day off being detrimental to a company. I said taking a day off to play video games was unprofessional.

Next..

Please keep trying. I know it's in your best interest to keep exagerating the situation.

Ok, so that answers my question. You really DON'T understand the words that you're using. I'm not exaggerating (spelling ftw) anything, I'm just pointing out your blatant idiocy and hypocrisy. You think that there's a difference between taking a day off to do whatever you want is fine as long as it doesn't pose a problem for your lord and master, the Almighty Employer. Taking a day off to play video games is bad for the company and (in what you consider to be your ONLY point, because you suck at using your native tongue) unprofessional. Wage slave. :olo:

HELLO.... PLEASE READ (without adding your own stupid bullshit logic)....

My opinion...

Taking a personal day (unplanned day off) to play video game is unprofessional, for the various reasons I've already listed.

That's it.

If you choose to read anything more into that, you're a moron.

The very notion of 'taking a day off is unprofessional' is contradictory.
