So yeah, if you saw the Game Awards last night, then you noticed that Microsoft dropped by and showed off their refrigerator of a new console.

They continue the run of retarded names (like Rambo retarded) and call it the Xbox Series X.... Ima just go with Xbrick.

Doom guy
The answer is always this. No other character conveyed a more stronger sense of hate and discontent like him. Simple hand gestures, disregard for the environment around him. Absolutely ZEEEEERRRROOOO fucks to be given.

Gaming / Mad Max. The first TRUE cult hit of current gen.

Commercial underrated and prolly underperforming. This game is actually pretty damn good.

Its visuals manage to make a desert apocalyptic world feel lively and interesting, amd also a bit colorful like the latest film.

It may lack a bit in terms of things to do, but it does bolster a decent story, great vehicular combat amd control, a nice fighting system. Even if its a total rip off of batman..

Playing this game through again, showed me a nice smoothness to it. Rarely do I feel that these days. Especialy in a movie licensed game. And that says something.

How badly do hurricanes/tropical storms affect your job? What's the modus operandi when it comes to dealing with them (evactuation, does anybody have to stay behind, etc.)?

With my job offshore. Protocol is in stages. Stage one is begin platform prep. That involves tying and storing all loose equipment.

Stage two is evac all non essential personel. And begin plant shut down.

Stage three. Once the platform is shut down. That means all pressure is released, all functioning units are stable and non operating. Then the final essential ppl evac.

How did the Marine group in Halo CE get aboard the Truth and Reconciliation when it was three hundred meters above the ground? The Corps issues Marines with rifles, not wings.
This thing called a Grav Lift. And magicuu.

Might or might not be crazy, but I'll be damned if that doesn't look comfy af.  How do you get involved in this?

Either get a job in a plant somewhere and build up to it, go to school for process operating, instrumentation, or what ever. Even become a Paramedic.

Then apply, apply, apply.

What's your position in the company? I've always considered petroleum engineering after the navy because of the pay and schedule.

I hear the US has great insurance plans (among other things) by working offshore, even if the work schedule is strenuous, somewhat more dangerous, and different than most.

You offshore from the US or further afield? Angola, Cameroon and Nigeria are up-and-coming resources these days.
US. My platform is in the GoM.

My employer gives us the choice of what ever insurance we want. And they pay 80% of the monthly premium.

Shit that's great.

One of my lecturers taught a module on Health and Safety, and got fucking screwed over by insurance when he got in a plane crash between rigs in the 80's. Survived fine, but no insurance payout or possible claim because of some loopholes at the time.
Hope that never happens here. I could possibly be in a Helicopter crash on my way out or back.

Have to go to a water survival course for that.

$2500 a week and I get to be away from my family for 2 weeks? Where do I sign up?
Go to school for Process Operations, Instrumentstion. Other than that, there are mechanics, electricians, crane ops, gally hands.

Then find a company to joing. Like Wood Group, Hess, BP, Chevron, Shell, etc.

Offshore. People around me typically equate this with the Deep Water Horizon disaster. Like, how or even why would I take a job in such an unforgiving environment?

Knowing that something wrong could happen at any moment.

A fire could errupt from one of my seperators, my booster gas compressors could explode, etc.

Truth is. It can happen.  No doubt about it. The threat is always there. That is why safety is the BIGGEST priority in my field! Making sure we adhear to BSEE standards, follow API 14C, and general common sence creates a better place.

Deep Water Horizon was a drilling platform. They have a far more grueling job than I do. I am an operator on the production platform Stampede. (As pictured above)

Out buisness, is to take the fluids from the well, that contracting drillers (Deep Water Horizon) find and prepare for us to use. We take it from the well, introduce it into a process of heating and seperation.

This is done by way of seperators, heating and cooling exchangers, treatment, sea water injection, chemical injection, etc. It is a very meticulous and detailed operation. Takes a while to understand.

In a nut shell. The fuilds seperate into: oil, gas, water. Oil is the black stuff, the gas is the invisible stuff, and water is..... water.
——————

Life offshore is like nothing youve experienced. Nothing but water for miles and miles. In the clearest blue you can possibly see. Wales, sharks, you name it; its there to see. Truely a wonderful spectacle!

You're feed like a king. 5 times a day. Snacks of what ever you want, when ever you want. Lots of people gain weight out there.

But despite all of that. The schedue is big factor for most. You work 14/14. That is 14 days at work, 14 days at home. It is tough to be away from family all of that time. But let me tell you, the payment and the time you spend at home. Is SOOOO worth it!!!

On average a new person in the field makes roughly $2,500 a week. Plus expence, benifits, etc. (Wood Group PSN pay and benifit info)

Before I start to sound like a recruiter, Ill go back to my point. Why do I do this job?


Not for the thrill, the view, or experience. But for family. No other job has givin me the time I have had with my family like this.


Sure, bad things can and will happen. No doubt. Its how you carry yourself and do your job and how you help others on the platform that will determine that.

The weights I lift involve turning pressurised valves in order to seperate well fuids into that oh so valuable oil.

They can be pretty hard to turn at times. Builds muscle

Still stuck on the "run from the angry attack helicopter" part because it's janky and luck based as fuck and I refuse to drop the difficulty for more health.

So... I never got to finish the game.
This is one of those games that if it wasn't so damn buggy, it would be amazing. I was stuck on the same part for a while.
It's a shame because I really liked playing up until then, but that really just killed it for me.
It took me a few times to get past it. I just sprinted and didnt stop, period. Kept tapping sprint as soon as it depleted.

Im playing it through again with a different perspective.

Playing it with the mindset that Walker died at the beginning. And everything after is his own personal experience in hell.
