I'm decking you

Awwwww, you think you sound tough. How cute. Be careful though, if you try to deck someone, they won't give you the free food you definitely need.

TC, maybe you'd be able to afford DLC if your second job actually gave money. Did you ever think of that?

Works for 5-8 hours and doesn't even get paid. Lmfao

If they were the best haunted attraction they could afford to pay employees.

I actully agree that Micro Trasactions can ruin a game, if they are put in the developer has a financial reason to fuck up the unlock system(cosmetics) and or balance(Character unlocks, Exp boosts).

I think you lose the right to complain about microtransactions if you work for free.

Oh no, you'll get fired from your "job" that doesn't pay you.

You realize there's other reasons to do things other than monetary compensation, right?

It's fun and that's why I do it

Really tho TC if you want people to stop antagonizing you then you gotta lay off the aggressive opinionated posting. You have a tendency to nickname people who don't agree with your opinions. Just post like a normal person.

I can't tell if this is bait, satire, or both...

I did none of that here, I just made a simple topic that got derailed by my legion of anti fanboy stalkers

So is the picture what the mask you use to scare children looks like or is that your face? :P

"shameful knowing how many of you will defend this". You're basically encouraging people to respond to you with s***posts.

But it is shameful how many have said they'll defend anything thst goes against their own best interest just because I was the one that said them

Only the actors are volunteer, people like the set builders and room captains get paid

Yeah, I should get a "real job" so I can just continually funnel money into the bank accounts of greedy executives at publishers who don't deserve it like you.

Depends on the place, 13th Gate and The Mortuary pay most of their staff, House of Shock is a volunteer for new actors and you get paid after 5 years

Shit I was seriously about to say this is cool as fuck but only if it's the house of shock.

So cool. You meet Phil Anselm or anyone?

I say we protest this place for better working conditions on behalf of our dear friend ZP

What's so funny? We're literally known worldwide and have a reputation to keep, so it only makes sense we weed out people who will phone it in for another paycheck. You want to get paid? You have to earn it

s*** I was seriously about to say this is cool as f*** but only if it's the house of shock.

Yeah, literally everyone here is so cool and welcoming.

Phil doesn't own it anymore but does pop in from time to time. I've met him more times from his concerts from doing shit here in NOLA than actually at House of Shock

I've also met a few big Rock stars and a ton of underground Metal stars doing this

You mean weed out the people with enough spine to complain when they are not paid what they are worth.

Working for "experience" is worthless, try paying for food with "experience" and see how that goes.

I'm not worth being paid yet, this is only my 3rd year.

They have suckered you into working for free for 3 years? Have some self respect man.

lmfao working at a place that used to be owned by pantera

edit: sorry did I say working, I meant volunteering

sounds like fun op

and i agree with you, microtransactions are horseshit and idiots continue to pay for them, the only dlc I ever got was for borderlands 2, and that was because I played through it with a good friend of mine entirely.

the only other time's i've gotten dlc are when it's bundled with a goty edition or something (payday 2)

It's amazing how much TC is a corporate shill but acts holier than thou about microtransactions lmao.

This is probably why they make it 5 years. Most people will have quit doing it by then, so they probably only have a handful of paid people and a whole lot of high school volunteers who'll only do it a year or two before finding an actual job with an actual pay.

This probably would've been better if you just said you volunteered instead of worked

That's if they don't find a reason to fire them after year 4. If it's an employment at will state they don't even need a reason.

Yeah, sounds like a scam to me, but someone like ZombiePelican would do it.

Pretty sure Zombie and Merandi are the same person.
