CCO sounds like a good gig.  All you have to do is show up at meetings and drop a few ideas from your "vision".  You don't actually have to work or produce anything and you get to collect a big paycheck. 

Plus if the game fails, it's the fault of the CEO for not getting the business model right.

I really don't want to talk about every CCO I've ever met. That said, UnSub just described two of them.

Just when I thought there was nothing left to say about this "project", the rabbit hole gets even deeper.  One of the internet detectives on Rerolled has discovered that the Pantheon forums are being hosted by none other than Requiem, the dude who hosted fohguild.org before it died.  For those who don't know the story behind the death of fohguild, here's the short version:  Requiem was an absentee landlord while his RL buddy Tyen was allowed to run free and use the board for his botnet experiments.  The board got plagued with malware warnings for months and Requiem couldn't be bothered to fix it.  Drama ensued, everyone left.

Anyways, Tyen and Requiem hosting the Pantheon forums means they are basically a ticking time bomb.  Also, if I had to guess they are probably being hosted for free (Requiem hosted fohguild for a decade for free, letting it mooch off extra bandwidth on the other sites he hosts).  Which makes one wonder, what is happening with the donations Brad collects "to keep the website running"?

It's kinda like a sad, retarded circle-jerk.  But it's probably best to leave them a thread so they can decorate it with their feces rather than letting them loose in the rest of the play pen.

I don't have many posts, but I checked today and realized I have more in Politics than I do anywhere else. Time to go hang out elsewhere for a while.

So someone decided that they needed to show off what they have accomplished with this game and they chose that? Would have been better to not include the model walking because it is the worst I have ever seen.

I made a promise to someone that I wouldn't. No, it wasn't Brad. Yes, their current relevance is suspect. Regardless, Brad still has friends, and we share some friends.

I have no clue why Brad has friends. He's a trainwreck on a massive number of levels.

He said THIS game, so, yes.  Because this one has zero chance of fun. It won't surpass the drama fun of the last one but that was a different dance with the same tune.

Was he riding a horse in that video? It kinda looked like he was riding a horse. But it was too zoomed in, so all I could see was a bit of the rump and tail.

Love the rumors bit, and the website with the bible MMO developers, the wife and husband with the handlebar mustache. it's like they jumped right out of my mind's eye, the sisyphean ideal of what you would picture such a thing to be. Just too perfect. It's like some higher power crafted this tale specifically for me, to feed my need for schadenfreude. Whoever it was, god or devil, you have my thanks.

In a similar vein, anyone have news on Abashi? Is he selling his sweet ass for black tar somewhere?

No, I don't think he was riding a horse.  Was he?  I thought he was just doing his silly walk for the ministry.
