Watch me discuss the so-called “Parking Attendant Problem” on YouTube here:
Missed part one of this series where I discussed how you can identify your passions before sitting down to start your business? Watch it on AT&T’s Networking Exchange blog here.
Today I’m going to talk about the so-called “Parking Attendant Problem” which is a way to help you figure out how to pursue your dreams and goals while you still have a job. While some people have what it takes to just jump out there and risk it all on a crazy business or idea, that’s not for everyone. I’m personally a little more conservative with how I approach risk, and I like to be on the safe side of things and calculate that risk.
Grand Theft Auto V sales have set a first day sales record of more than $800 million in sales on Tuesday—which was its first day on the shelves. That’s more than 13 million copies sold in a single day!
Not only were those sales numbers were the biggest for the series, they also broke the previous first day sales record held by “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2” at $500 million.
Grand Theft Auto is one of the longer-running series of video games, with the first installment was released 16 years ago. An awful lot has changed in that time and the series has adapted with it. Originally a top-down 2D game with a fixed map and pre-set missions to follow, the games have steadily grown in scope to become huge, open-world games where you can either play to move the story along or just play by exploring the world and seeing what situation you run into.
Recently, the video game industry has taken a hit due to the growing popularity of online and mobile games—which are generally either free or low cost. But big-budget games that go on to become best-sellers have continued to buck that trend. Just take a look at the best selling video game of ALL tim, Call of Duty: Black Ops, which has sold 28 million copies since 2010! The next game in that series, The Call Of Duty: Ghosts, is just around the corner as well and is due to come out in November. Read More
