Used to work in call centre which due to nature of the job used to cold call people and result used to hear loads of excuses. Decided to share some of the more amusing ones.
Not in – Yet you can clearly hear the person in the background asking who it is.
At work
Driving – “Oh shit driving just gone past a police car”
Fish tank issues – Once had women who fish tank started to leak over her front room and could hear the pump in the background.
Lottery – Sorry just won the lottery
Having a shower – Having a shower I can’t talk right now
Can’t talk leaving the house – Yet again like at work still answered the phone
Already done that but have no idea what it means
Having sex – Having sex with my sister
Cooking food
I can’t remember every single detail but some of the excuses did hear when on the phone. Some are understandable others just down right silly.
Recently watched video from KackisHD, with title How Treyarch has RUINED ZOMBIES for Me with Shadows of Evil. You can watch the video below does bring up some rather interesting points.
Okay lets break down the main points..
Zombie behaviour – Treyarch has done very little to overall mechanics of zombies behaviour loop is pretty much the same. Animations wise they added couple new ones which change how zombies interact with the player. New Animations result in higher damage done towards players, zombies swing do loads of damage.
Adding of juggernog needed to be balanced out if had to guess why this was done.
Pack a punch – Need to perform rituals which is stay in one area and protect yourself. Basic but survival rather challenging given groups of zombies in tight space with other threats. Past games required you just to turn on switch in order to get pack a punch open. Also need to open up the pack a punch room.
Survival – Gone from unscripted to more scripted, need to complete these goals to move forward. War at world map was rather unscripted but was rough set of goals which would let you go further.
Treyarch has added couple gameplay mechanics to the mix impact the game in various ways. Gobble gum can give you buffs or effects, Margwa creates another danger. Pack a punch gives players bonus ammo type at random which adds even more fire power. Added more depth to the game reduced random element so you can control it more.
Pack a punch mechanics don’t think work feels like forcing coop into the game pretty hard to complete. Survival simple game still around just has some goals. My biggest complaint is how hard can be to revive people if you’re the other side of the map. Don’t agree with the video but points made are interesting shows the real limits with zombies is the zombies.
Vote on air strikes in Syria is due tonight 10pm by MPs [Members of parliament] from House of Commons of the United Kingdom. United Kingdom is already part of air strikes in Iraq, conservative party failed in 2013 to win support for air strikes. Situation within middle east is now much worse, civil war in Syria has become frozen conflict. Declining influence result power vacuum extremism groups taking hold with terror attacks across the middle east. Soft power with hard power only way of fixing this issue. Does mean economic action with major soft power and troops. Economic action forcing parties to the table would be useful start. Overconfident we can fix this this issue with just air strikes.
Russia is willing to play role within middle east we should let them help.
Do not support air strikes without action in other areas just wishful thinking air strikes creates frozen conflict. Home growth terror is created by social issues at home economic mainly with social. What we can do is help create more peaceful solution to the middle east. Language of war is not helpful should not be doing what opponents want. Want war with unrest with highly emotionally language.
Reality sometimes problems don’t have solutions.
Actions so far in Iraq have proved that half measures like air strikes only get you so far. Argument for air strikes based on somebody else doing the heavy lifting with wishful thinking. Hope Labour MPs don’t vote in favour…
If I was Labour MP would be voting against the motion.
