I know of one studio that actually did spend all the investment money on hookers and blow then, when the IP holders were scheduled to come in and look at the progress being made, they would literally pull people in off the streets to sit in front of workstations to make it look as though they were fully staffed.
Duke Nukem Forever?  Warhammer would be my guess. |
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

The original Warhammer online is probably the correct answer.

If he wanted to say what studio it was, he would've. Stop trying to guess.
In addition, it just further makes my point: What you just read is pretty much the whole story. It can't fill a book and it's probably one of maybe 3-4 interesting things that ever happened there. Eight page books don't sell well.

I was just kidding with my faux guess because that seemed to be the rampant rumor about Duke Nukem's team. I personally don't give a shit who it was. |

Well, I know I'm weird about this, but this actually makes for pretty interesting reading.
I was a pretty attentive lurker all the way back to the fairly early Lum the Mad days, followed to Waterthread. I think it was only here that I actually started posting. (I lurk at Broken Toys and Qt3 but haven't ever really posted there.) But I think I have much weaker face-to-face links to any of the little clusters of people that know each other in this sort of connected world of posters, so it's just interesting to me which folks (good and bad) I feel like I have a really long-term sense of as people.

Pink is the important color. And anyone with a green name is being sarcastic. The brighter green, the more sarcastic.
I.. ow...  I started at Lum around the Whamadoodles time and mostly lurked until shit hit the fan over there. Someone I knew through MMOs tipped me off to WT saying it was just like Lum, so I signed up the first week it was up and have been around since. I still can't remember how the hell I got to know Schild, but it sure has been interesting. If not for these online communities, I wouldn't have been able to go to E3 2003 all inclusive. |

You're only really sarcastic when you have the mustache.  |

You go that far back? What were you, 11 years old? |

This is the only internet message board I've ever lurked or posted on. I'm not sure what it is about this place that keeps me around, but I'm rarely interested in the discussions that I do happen to come across on other boards. You guys got me with the Warhammer Online crowd, and I'm sure you're damned happy that I stuck around. Edit: Particularly Ironwood.  |

I loves me some Ironwood. Thankfully, he loves me back (in his surly, drunken, Scottish way).

Sorry, I was aghast at Rasix. I still think I'm 21. Reality disagrees.

This is fantastic because I still think I have the coordination to win Blaster Master.

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

Further actually, I have my timeline wrong. I started at Lum while I was playing UO, which is apparently very far back from Whamadoodles. So, yeah, I'm going to go off of when Lum got hired by Mythic for a date, which was 2001. I would have been 16 then. |

With save states, you do! I beat it again a few years ago because it's still my favorite game on the NES. |

It's a relative comparison. Percentage-wise, you own that word on F13.

It's simple. This is the work of a Cunthole. Stop overthinking it or getting on board the free-market train or generally being the type of argumentative dicks that you usually are.
This is Cunthole stuff. And what's worse about it all is the Constant Stream of Fucking Lies that surrounds our society at the moment where a Cunthole can put together a tissue thin rationalisation around their cunthole behaviour and expect anyone to swallow it.

That's not too bad. Averages out to 14 cunts per year over 8 years. |

I didn't say it was the voluminous use of the word "cunt", I said it was the eloquent use of the word "cunt". |
