Mail: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

So I don't repeat myself: thank you to everyone for these questions. It is great when I don't have to do a ton of prep work. The long and short of it: No, I do not want Tony Hawk's Underground 1 and 2 remade ahead of a new game. I'm not even sure I want those remade at all. Let's see how 3+4 plays and go from there. But if Tony Hawk 6 plays like 1+2 did? Sign me all the way up for it.

Mail: Unprofessional recruiters

I am grateful that I do not have to deal with job interviews and other such nonsense. It seems genuinely terrible, especially with the rise of AI. I've read a lot of horror stories about this topic, but the main theme seems to remain unchanged from 2010: the people looking for workers don't seem to value the time of the people looking for work. And that is a problem that no piece of tech, however fancy, can fix.

Mail: Making the show your job

Short answer: no, I will not make the show my job. Longer answer: if you pay for my health insurance, I'll think about it. I have seen some of what "content creators" go through to make a living and it seems terrible. If I was a single lad, I would be more receptive, but taking a gamble like that is not worth the risk for me. And for those reasons, I'm out.

WWE Unreal on Netflix

Thanks to Niles Young for giving the go-ahead to include his voice in this segment. I am sure the series will be well put together, but I am skeptical on its premise. I just don't think exposing this much of the business is a good idea. But maybe I'm in the minority.

And that, as we say, is that! Thanks for coming along today! Next week I have no idea what's on tap, but come on back and we can learn together. Until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Crap open a cold one!
