Carousel Cookies & Free TVs

Hmm, carousel cookies.

Yerba Buena carousel horsies scared Bpu, so she sat down in a sleigh instead with her Grampy and Grammy. Then it was time for splashing in a play pool for like 30 minutes and eating on the lawn behind the Metreon. She's having a fab time.

Game developers, it is no surprise, like bubble tea drinks. They like burritos. They like getting free 23" MicroSoft HDTVs. Seriously, J. Allard's keynote speech at GDC gave away 1 of these for every 3 attendees. And I skipped it knowing the speech would be stupid (aka PR poo poo). I wanted a TV bad.

Cpu tells me even if I got one, because MS is on her beat, I'd have to return it. We also agreed that keeping it and regifting it counts as keeping it. I brought it up with my co-workers who worked with me at my last job, since after all, MS is a supplier and publisher we deal with. Can we, as game developers, be bought for the simple price of a free TV?

Oh yes, yes we can.

All my co-workers were talking about the TVs. Only one of them checked with his manager, as instructed by our ethics training, to see if it was ok to keep it. Sigh.
