Bah!  I can make you see any IP I want you to see.  I have powers.  Maybe schild has powers, too. 

Does smoking and playing DDR count as "a power"?

Oh, please!  I had night terrors about his gigantic feet stomping around on that silly dance mat.  It is obviously made for dainty, little Japanese feet.  Let's not talk about smoking... it's been almost 12 cigaretteless days for me.  I still want one like mad.

That is from his show, Taboo, no?  God... I hope he doesn't walk around in public like that.  The first pic is from his DJ days... This is more like his glory days:


It seems he gets stranger with the more drugs he gives up.

I don't think Boy George would sleep with me and I wouldn't sleep with any of those people... or you, either.

What?  You think I, Schild the evil genius, wouldn't cause a different IP to appear for each of my incarnations?  You underestimate my power!  That last one is a line from Star Wars: Episode 3, the finest film of all time according to me, Schild!

Anyway, the robot thing I just kinda shrugged and put aside, because they were confined to one very remote dungeon as soon as the expansion release "fiction" was over.  And the Japanese thing I could very easily have been down for, if it had been done properly.  Why should medieval Europe be the only place in the entire world, right?  Why not medieval Asia?  But it was so ugly and slapdash I just had to groan.  Now this.

You want to know what makes an elf different from a human in UO?  You really want to know?  Elves are fucking BLUE.  Bright fucking BLUE!!!  If ever I believed, surely recent days would have robbed me of my faith.

Wouldn't it be great if it turned out that every poster here at f13 was Schild?  Kinda reminds me of that AARP commercial where the guy clones himself.

I'm not sure which one is Boy George.  I think he would be more gentle on my anus, however, than Rosie.  You know, assuming Option Three was death.

Half the dev team has quit in the last month.  Supposedly new devs will be hired, but even the Stratics monkeys seem to smell blood in the water now.

If I wasn't on a "wish I could play UO but it sucks now" trip I'd probably gloat some about being right way back when you decided UO was hot shit all over again. UO was a good game, but "was" is the operative word now. It wasn't trammel that killed it for me, it was when I realised that the development turned from making UO as good as it could be, to grabbing at dollars and wowing the idiots with newer and more rediculous shineys. You mentioned it yourself: the robots, the ninjas, the elves, the artifacts... it's no longer UO, it's a hodge-podge of supposedly cool shit all thrown together with no ryme or reason.

Elves are blue? Holy... shit. And they look so... stupid. I mean, if you're gonna rape a game's corpse like this you should at least do it with style.

One thing that has to be repeated though... this thread IS such deliscous, deliscous irony. I blame Joe for ruining my potential savouring of this moment. May he burn in hell.
