If done correctly, quitting your job can be the absolute coolest thing you could ever do. When else do you get to air out hostilities you've harbored for countless years, impress cohorts with theatrical gesticulations and possibly, depending on the awfulness of your workplace environment, relieve yourself in a coffee pot?
One Mr. Jarrad recently took a less disgusting route to resignation from his position at 2K Australia -- he programmed a short (but sweet) Flash game, one which informs his employers that he's putting in his two week notice with grace and politeness. Also, with Mario. It may lack the panache of tainted Folgers, but it's still pretty darn amusing (and, more importantly, legal).

like they would take him back. He just quit in the middle of crunch time for Bioshock 2. Thats like walking off the field in the 9th inning and leaving his teamates to fill in the hole Because you dont feel like playing anymore.

2K Australia isn't doing BioShock 2, or at least not leading on it. 2K Marin is.

As a side note, crunch time should not exist (at least not as a regularly accepted occurrence).

I couldn't figure out the first level, so I gave up. Anybody know where I can find an FAQ?

I couldn't get past the 3rd level. Confusing as hell.

Nah, it wouldn't take nearly that long to make something like this for an experienced developer.

Oh, so it's "you people" now. I see. You'll be receiving a call from "our" lawyers.
