The thought I had was a localized XML file that stored all the crosslinked data. Your match history is just a web page anyways, it would not be an issue to check a XML file while it is loading data from Blizzard's site. If you are on someone elses computer and the replay file is not available then it just greys out the load replay button, or if the file is deleted it would automatically remove that entry from the crosslinking file. Initially I did go into a lot more detail about how things worked, and covered a lot more ideas... but the voiceover was around 25 minutes long and I did not think anyone would watch all of it anyways; so I scrapped it and kept it short and sweet. I suppose I could have provided more data using on screen text, but I was afraid that would be too distracting. (Plus I was trying to get this thing out relatively quickly.) I agree with you overall though, as if it is only pie in the sky suggestions it does not do much good. However, even if I did include a lot of technical information: I would be guessing somewhat as to how StarCraft 2's back end did things; so my proposals might not be very good anyways if I am incorrect in my understanding of how things work. I should probably point out that this position is for a User Interface Artist anwyways, and I am not sure how much they have to do with coding things on the back end anyways. (The job listing makes no mention of any language knowledge or coding experience; so I think it is just graphical design and modeling layouts... which is what I did.) | ||

Wasn't a big fan of the video though, too many superlatives made it sound like an Apple keynote speech. Also in the text at the end you capitalize every word, which is weird. Nevertheless, the job opening is for UI design and that part you got covered. | ||

I'm pretty sure they may consider it a bit offensive if a new guy who wants to have a job creates a thread on some site showing off his abilities. Sure you'll get a lot of "BLIZZARD MUST HIRE YOU" comments but yeah... Good luck anyway! Hey if they don't hire me, they don't hire me. No big deal really. Maybe they will use some of my ideas, and I will have helped to make the game I love to play better. I understand what you are saying, but we are also in an age of new media, and they might appreciate someone taking the iniative to start a geurilla marketing campaign on his own behalf. If anything it shows: I am relatively smart, I must really want the job, I know how to use the web to my advantage, and at the very least it gets my resume noticed. (If not blacklisted.) Sometimes in life you have to take a gamble, and that is what this is. | ||
