SOOO Angry at work!!!

[WildfireS3]

Arrrgggghhhhh!!! I am currently working on a PS2 driving title, which will remain nameless and while not having my headphones on for once I caught bits of a conversation about cars by 3 programmers who are doing the car physics.

#1 "TVRs" (we have a TVR in the game) "Yeah they're not too good."

#2 "Made of fibreglass or somthing, a bit c**p."
#3 "Kit cars aren't they?"
#1 "Yeah I think so."
#2 "I'd never drive one, but it's your choice isn't it."
#3 "Thought they were s**t. I don't know too much about cars."
1# "It's the jap cars that are the best. Subaru and 350Z. Ty're really good."

Didn't catch the rest of the conversation, as I angrily put my headphones on. These guys are setting the settings for the car in the game.

Not only this I have a feeling we have the Cerbra Speed 12 in it. FFS!!! Get someone who knows about cars!! Either that or they were delibreately doing it to p**s me off, as there is a lot of resentment about my TVR and I get a lot of bitchy comments.

Sounds more than likely mate, I don't think anyone who's seen the stats could honestly claim TVRs to be crap.

Don't worry - they are just jealous little saddo's. The 350Z is a nice car if you like an Audi TT, but it ain't no TVR!!

Have a chat with them at lunch time, and offer to take them out for a spin - it'll soon change their minds!!

Don't rise to the bait - your defensiveness will only confirm their poorly informed prejudices...

Its jealousy mate, pure and simple! Instead of admiring you for having one, theyre resenting you....Pay them no mind, the heathens...
Then burn their cruddy escrots off when you knock of work!

Maybe the title of the game should say something like..."Drive your own TVR and thrash the b@ll@x of all the Jap Crap"....

Programmers. Say no more.

It's not this game is it?

I doubt it. When I worked at Electronic Arts the car park was full of Porkers, TVR's and M3's. I thought most games programmers were paid handsomley?
