It's finally being made official, and in two weeks I'll be starting my first management role! This is something I've been chasing for the last 4 and a half years!
This also means that since joining this company, my salary has nearly doubled!

Still no word(s)...
1 week ago
Tudor RTUK FireteamNews
Thanks all who left encouraging messages on my last journal. I spoke to the hiring manager yesterday, it's moving along and looking promising, but still no definitive answer on me getting the job. Coming up 8 weeks since I applied!
Onto more, well, just more things as they're not all positive.
Achievement Hunter
Hard to believe that 9 years ago, I was desperate to help out in anyway I could with Achievement Hunter. Knowing the whole site was run just by @geoff and @jack at the time, helped only by volunteers, is just crazy compared to where they are now.
Seeing Geoff on the RT Podcast recently, and hearing the genuine love and respect between him and Jack made me long for the old days. I actually came across the old group for some of us volunteers that Geoff invited to help out. We spoke mostly about the site as the games database; getting regional release dates, secret achievements hidden, the race and tournament features on the site.. we really focused on the guide side of things. I've said before, and I'll continue to say it, I feel I owe Geoff and Jack a huge debt for putting trust in people like me with their creation
I get the impression that most of those original volunteers have moved on from RT and AH, with the odd exception. Even I made an attempt to become a gaming journalist, but as always with me, my home life came first. That's why I'm glad I can continue to be involved with RTUK, and still be connected to this site and the community through that.
Chester Bennington
Well, shit. This is still a pretty raw wound. This is the first celebrity death that has had such an emotional impact on me. As many people my age, Linkin Park was an entry into other music genres. And for me, it was an outlet for rage, depression and a whole load of negativity in my life as a teen. I would have the music on loud in my room, scream along with Chester to the best I could, breaking down everything in my head while I did.
To have the man behind that gone, it's rough.
RTUK
So, RTUK was this weekend. And while I helped plan it in a small way, I couldn't actually go. I will probably have a lot more to say on RTUK and it's future at a later date, but this definitely looked like the best event we've ever pulled off. So many new friendships made in time for RTX London.

HaloHolmes asked Tudor a question
Questions
how do you sign up for first without it being in dollars as when ever i try to sign up for first it always asks in dollars instead of pounds. Thanks i would appreciate it if you could help.
Answered: Aug 8, 2017
Don't believe changing the currency is an option for First membership. Your card will just be charged in pounds at the current exchange rate.
If you wanted further info, I'd suggest contacting [email protected]

Send me good vibes, please?

Currently waiting to here on a promotion at work I've been chomping at the bit for since I started four and a half years ago. It would be a major step up, hopefully open more doors for me and put my family in a much better financial situation.
Also, my current boss keeps hinting that it's a done deal. So now I'm also worried I've got my hopes up only to not get it.

Tudor RTUK FireteamNews
Couldn't post this yesterday, but I've now been part of this site, this community, for 9 years. And boy, have things changed. I normally just say thank you to everyone that's made that time so incredible, but I'm now at the point where there's too many to name, in fact there have been for a few years.
So I'll say this, as the most recent milestone on this site, I finally hit 1000 friends. I may not have spoken to the majority of you, but the fact that that many people decided to send me a request or accept one from me, that's something.
Shout out to @JMNonstop for being friend number 1000!

Chugging through backlog
4 months ago
Tudor RTUK FireteamNews
I haven't bought a "new" AAA console title now for almost two years! The last games I got on release were Pokemon Sun (don't count as console), RWBY: Grimm Eclipse on Xbox One (not AAA) and Titanfall 2 (which I didn't buy, and even that was a few weeks after launch!)
Sadly, there's a downside to a full time job, two kids and a house to renovate/maintain... who knew?
This does mean that when I game now, I'm just playing through my backlog, which even in this new (3 year old) console generation is pretty extensive. I even managed to finish the Citadel DLC for Mass Effect 3 last week, finalizing my 100% completion record for Shepard's journey. And right now, I'm filling my time with raging through Halo 5: Guardians on solo Legendary, which is actually one of the hardest Halo's I can remember playing! So far at least. For a while I felt like completing all Halo achievements would be achievable, but that was a pipe dream for sure once the Master Chief Collection was released.
I'm looking forward to finishing Halo 5 though, means I can then go back to Fallout 4, Destiny, Sunset Overdrive, GTA V, and then all of the Telltale game series!
So, what games are you guys currently playing? Something new, something old, a bit of both? Or is there one game in your backlog that you desperately want to get back to?

That point was specifically put in to prevent "Xbox vs Playstation", "COD vs Halo", "Digimon vs Pokemon" type threads.
