Tales From IT – Fun Times At Work September 1, 2020

Welcome back to Tales from IT, where I talk about some of my most noteworthy computer jobs. People have asked me if I ever get the opportunity to have fun on a job site. I know it may not look like it, but I’m actually a professional when it comes to my work. Typically, if I’m called in to do a job like fix a computer, I will focus entirely on that job until it is completed while I’m being assigned that job.

That said, occasionally I’m given 9 to 5 assignments that are not entirely structured, or I’m given the opportunity to be creative with my testing procedures while at work. This is a story of one of those times.

One year ago, Remedy launched Control. It is a game unlike anything Remedy had produced up until this point, a supernatural open-world Metroidvania-style multiplaform game. I freaking loved it. Now, Remedy is celebrating the one year anniversary of the game’s release with this video full of fan submissions. Enjoy!

If you haven’t picked up Control yet, the best is yet to come. Control: Ultimate Edition (which includes all of the game’s premium DLC expansions) is out now for PC on Steam. You’ll be able to get the Xbox One and PS4 version on September 10th, 2020.

Nintendo has just released another Mini Direct focusing on their third-party partners. This one came as a pretty big surprise as I can’t recall Nintendo making an announcement about it prior to just releasing it. So, if you’re interested in seeing what’s coming to the Nintendo Switch, give this a watch.

All games shown are coming to the Nintendo Switch.
