Bpu loves watching Meerkat Manor. I can barely remember how this was discovered.

If Manor is ever on at my parents', we are so there.

Overpaid Animator

This dude used to work at my last job. He could animate ok, but had absolutely no ability to troubleshoot. My interactions with the OA went like this:

OA: "Hey, can you stop by my desk? My Max isn't working."
Epu: "Do you mean, it crashes on startup? What doesn't work?"
OA: "It starts up, but I can't get anything to work."
Epu: "Do you mean, you can't animate once it starts up,
or you can't export anything into the game?"
OA: "I can export, but when I load the game, it crashes."
Epu: "Does the game crash if you revert your animations?"
OA: "Can you stop by and take a look?"
I understand most users are less techincal than I am. That's cool. I'm both paid to help, and willing to help. It's just so frustrating that, among animators in the game industry, whom I have found to be a very technical breed overall, to find one who is so completely clueless and unable to help himself.

The OA has been kickbanned.
