So, I read on Lum's website he's left Mythic for the sunny SW.  Still working on MMOs and no longer able to use the "I'm just a DB coder" excuse for discussing or not discussing game design.

Gentlemen, start you speculation...

"I know where he's going. But can't say."

Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment (developers of Stargate Worlds) is in Mesa, Arizona.

I miss Lum.   :cry:  He was such a nice girl.

Ewww.. licensed property. Can he break the curse? Only The Shadow knows.

Go Lum Go

About 6'5". But only when I don't slouch.

Sorry for all the hush hush theatrics. I don't start the new job for another couple of weeks and honestly have no idea what I can and cannot say at this point.

His wikipedia entry has already been updated!  Goodness, the internet sure is fast.  :hello_kitty:

Lum needs to fix his sig, I suggest "In Transition"

Also, I'd like some comment about your motivation on icon selection.  Are you trying to cause epiliepsy, do you like that shit, etc?

US version of Yogurting!

I boggled out of the roof.

I don't know what to think. But I'm thinking everything at the same time.

I'm guessing Lum's book landed him a sweet publishing deal as the new Danielle Steele clone.

Wait, Lum's working on a Danielle Steele licensed MMOG?!? No wait that's not right. Well whatever it is, may the wind be at your back Lum - and not too smelly either!

Play2Crush 2, IMO.  :-P

OMG!

Is Stargate going to have PVP or not? At first I thought it was going to have some zones, but reading a recent press release it sounded like it was a bunch of non-combat classes that fight NPC factions for world control.

NO GOOD?

Going to Austin to fix what schild broke with the NGE?(sorry couldn't resist :) )


Smed:Save us Lum your our only hope!

Lum:..........Bagels?


In all seriousness though Congrats and it will be interesting to see where you end up.

Good on ya, mate. I hope it's in a position where they listen to you.

And bagels.

After all the work you've done, don't you deserve a sort of raise? Go for croissants.

Bagels are the new croissants. It took years and years for us Jews to insure that. Einstein Bros Bagels isn't called Einstein Bros Croissants, but they sell the latter french butter roll as a fine side to your gourmet style BAGEL. :roll:

I assumed he was getting just regular plain bagels. I put gourmet bagels, with sun-dried tomatoes etc, on par with good yummy croissants.

You know what's cool?  I can be in the middle of no where, miles and miles from a good jewish deli, and if there is an Einstein Bros around I can get a Lox & Cream Cheese on a toasted garlic bagel thats not awful for $5.99.

You laud 25 cents worth of bread, some old fish, and 10 cents of dairy product for $5.99.. yet I bet anything that if I told you I bought a latte for $4 you'd freak out about how Starbucks is ruining our country.

Late but better than never.

Good luck to you and stick with Bagels. They are the best.


And on a totally unlrelated note, HRose - are you REALLY Italian?

Because if so, from now on I'm officially Japanese.

I can get a bagel(any variety) with cream cheese on it for ~$1.65 here in Rochester from Tim Horton's.  There's no way a 'Lox'(whatever that is) is worth four bucks.

Alkiera

Smoked salmon.

Yes.. Murgos was talking about spreading cream cheese and smoked salmon paste onto a garlic bagel. 

So, basically, you couldn't pay me $5.99 to eat, never mind me paying someone else for the priviledge.

Alkiera

Flying tanks for everyone!

Grats, Lum. Looking forward to hearing more about it when you are able (or willing  :evil: ) to provide details.

Yes, grats to Lum despite the bagel derail.  :-o

こんにちは。喜ばされる会うために。

If your moving to Austin, bring sinus medicine.

I dunno *sips latte*

I get a Grande at my Starbucks for $3.25.

edit: Not salmon paste.  It's actual smoked salmon (at least around here.)

edit the second:  Also, you forgot the capers, onions and tomato.

否- 車の火で死になさい。

Venti for the win, bitch.

Damn it. You bastards are making me crave Starbucks even more than I normally do. They started building one within site of my office, but 6 months later and the fucking thing isn't open yet. Of course, once it opens I will probably never sleep again, but thems the breaks.

I have 3 in walking distance (and an Einstein Bros).  Gives me a nice variety for when I decide to take a break/can't stomach the breakroom coffee any longer.

There HAS to be one within 3 blocks of your work.

Garlic, Cream Cheese, Fish and Coffee.  Murgos, if you smoke I don't know how you get the ladies near you at all.

Say, wasn't there a thread about Lum around here somewhere?

I don't smoke  8-)

And apostrophes.

and an extra e.

So you got that goin' for ya, which is nice.

You've been hired for Baldwin Online, haven't you! Do not taunt the happy fun baldwin.

I was wondering, is Adam Baldwin in Baldwin online?

I know he isn't a "Baldwin Brother", but does he still count due to his lastname?

We here at Stargate Academy are dedicate to training young, large breasted, elves to battle evil forces of the Goa'uld with innovative use of powerful dance techniques and lingerie armor.

   When did you guys start training Tok'ra?

Any Lumsign?

Is that like scat?

lol@wrong thing that came to mind (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scat).

semi-rural ubringing + urban slang =  :-o

Scat has another meaning?

Oh Scatman John. How that brings back memories.

Almost every monday morning at Standsted airport my breakfast consists of a smoked salmon sandwich, muffin, apple, and orange juice. That costs around £8.50. Which translates into about 15 of your fine american dollars.

There most certainly are circumstances when lox is worth 4 bucks.

You're all just getting old.

There is no amount of money that is too much for good lox or nova. Seriously. $20? Ok, but put some extra capers on there.

But hey, I'm Jewish. Lox is a goddamn necessity. It's what gives us the ability to breath. While Manischevitz gives us the ability to count money.

Sometimes, urban dictionary makes me weep.  4 entries before you get to the musical definition, and then it only relates it to rap and some current rapper.   Nobody's heard of bebop, or jazz. /sadf

Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the Lum....

PS Lum to spellchecker

He'll be the only useful character. Unfortunately he's not playable. So solly.

As for Lum working on Baldwin Online.. that feature is working as intended.

Urbandictionary is not supposed to have the real definition for a word. Only the slang definition. If it had the real definition I'd be unhappier because then I'd know people think of it as slang. Which it isn't.

Cab Calloway is the first thing that comes to my mind when someone says scat.

Jazz is the first thing that comes to my mind.

It's all about Scatman Crothers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scatman_Crothers), people.

Hong Kong Fooey, bitches.

I used to love Hong Kong Phooey.  He was my number one super guy!

It made me misty-eyed.

Austin NC Soft? (http://www.brokentoys.org/2006/03/06/zomg-a-clue/)  Phew!  /relief

Isn't Austin NCSoft just a fancy way of saying "Garriot's Tabula Rasa Shop?"

If so, yays for Lum. Make that game not suck, goddamnit.

Yes, Lum, if that's what you're doing, please make us a good game.  We're looking at you with wide, hopeful, puppy dog eyes.  We trust you.  Don't make us cry big, wet girlie tears.

You know Signe, there's a mob in DAoC that was introduced with the catacombs expansion named Signe.  I wonder if Lum slipped this in there as a sign of love and admiration.

I bet he did.  Just like Eric Clapton wrote that song about me.

It really is all about Signe.

Who are you again?

As an aside, one of the parts of Lum's avatar makes me think "Ding! LEVEL UP!"

According to his Infrequently Asked Questions (http://www.brokentoys.org/about/) section:
So that's probably not Tabula Rasa.

Unless they are starting over with TR development again.

It would be fitting.

I get it! Tabula Rasa, the ultimate Vapor Ware!

Every time they make an anouncement that they'll start beta, they scrap it all and go back to a blank slate (tabula rasa). Its genius! They'll be employed for decades if they can hop from Sony to Activision to Microsoft and back again in a never ending cycle.

Exactly!

It only sounds good in theory. (http://www.phantom.net/)

I support our Lum

To be fair, it has been known to work.

Great forums!

I love the smell of delusion in the morning.
