For all the wooters out there...

[Strazos]

Lets play CoX, whee!

[WayAbvPar]

Pirates of the Burning Sea will be out in a couple of months. Then we can all annoy the fuck out of each other with bad pirate impressions while we wait for hours to try and register an account to play!

Yay Hay! 

Oh, and I still play CoX an hour or so several times a week.  Sometimes more.  Lately on the test server. 

[Cheddar]

This would make a GREAT avatard.  I would have more respect for you if you did this.

[schild]

That animu bouncing gif is classic internet grief material and Signe knew it. :P

[bhodi]

That's from magical drop. God, that game is awesome.

[schild]

Aye, I've got 2 and 3 for the MVS system. Haven't gotten my roommates to play it with me yet as we've been on a Puzzle Bobble kick (and have Twinkle Star Sprites coming next week).

[Azazel]

What an awesomely fucked-up thread.

[Ironwood]

As opposed to the legion of common sense and informative ones ?

[Azazel]

This one has extra cheese.


And way more out-of-proportion cattiness. I mean...


Some new dev chick posts here, looks cute in her pink-haired avatard photo. BFD. No offence to SimuKaren (I almost typed SimBeru) but I doubt I'd know who you were if you posted your l33t gamertag, and I doubt many here would give a shit. I don't get Voodoo's whole "I eat little girls like her for breakfast" thing though. Seems a touch nutjob-jealous, though I think I remember a similar flip-out between her and Signe(?) way back when.

Also, I fucking hate myspace.

[Signe]

I've never had a row with V-Lily.  V-Lily is splenda!   

[Azazel]

My apologies. I misremembered it as you. It was someone on the board who was female, though. Not Lantyssa, and you're the most prominent female here.

If SimuKaren has a bunny though, it should feel scared right about now...

I read this entirely too fast and missed "annoy the" in the first pass.  For about 5 seconds, I had a completely different view of Way's persona.

You are too right. BFD indeed. Thank you for getting the point. :)

And nobody would recognize my "l33t gamertag" unless they played CS or TFC about the time I was in high school. And then all they would say was "That girl?!?! The one I kept kicking from the server because of her damned 56k connection?!?! Would you believe her clan let her play tournaments when they knew she only got FOUR FPS?!?!?!"

Besides, anyone with a yellow belt in google-fu already knows my name, address, and high school sweetheart.

[Oban]

... and high school sweetheart.

No clue, but he wore Stetson Black.

[Paelos]

Everytime Oban posts I want a scotch. Luckily it's not too often.

[Damn Dirty Ape]

The current alcohol theme makes me want to quote Big Trouble in Little China:

Jack Burton:  What's in the flask, Egg?  Magic potion?
Egg Shen:  Yeah.
Jack Burton:  Thought so, good.  What do we do, drink it?
Egg Shen:  Yeah!
Jack Burton:  Good, thought so.

[schild]

I haven't mentioned that I own Davidlopan.com and lopandemonium.com lately, have I?

[Damn Dirty Ape]

Do you also own sonofabitchmustpay.com?

[schild]

Nope. But I got 2 domains recently that I really like "neversetspikes.com" and "butisitfun.com."

[Azazel]

That second one sounds very Engrish for some reason, schild.


As for the gamertag thing.. you're aware of how many people play(ed) TFC/CS? Especially 4+ years ago, right? I can't remember 99% of the other people that played DC on the 3FL servers (esp QLD) with me pretty much daily for about 2 years solid. Even if you "fucking pwned the VN boards" or somesuch, I doubt anyone here would know or care about your gamertag.

So, uh, not to be too agressive or rude about it, but noone cares and even less knows. Let's just drop that part and just get back to the general abuse discussion we have around here.

So what does Simutronics make/do? I'm too lazy to google it.

[Yoru]

So what does Simutronics make/do? I'm too lazy to google it.

Hero's Journey - an MMO that's been under development for a while now. The Hero Engine, which is what HJ is built on; it's been licensed by BioWare among others.

They also do a bunch of text MUDs, which is what the company was originally founded on, such as GemStone and DragonRealms. They did pretty well in the 90s by getting the major private online services (e.g. AOL) to pay 'em for providing access to their games free for those services' users.

[Llava]

Welp.

Played Rayman on the Wii for the first time tonight, over at a some friends' place.

My head is fucked.

[Falconeer]

From another topic, looks to me that Simutronic is the first Software House EVER to give the helm of a MMO(RPG) to a woman (not Karen by the way, for the lazy non-clickers). Tons, tons and tons of kudos on my part.

[Yoru]

Where's that noted? I don't see anywhere in the linked article, or its related articles, indicating that she's a lead - just a designer.

[Falconeer]

My bad. Try here.

Stephanie Shaver: I can't disclose numbers. I can say the game is still being actively worked on, and that my job at the company is officially Lead Designer of the game, so my mortgage payment is dependent on us doing Hero's Journey.

Anyway hope Karen can confirm it.

I don't see how gender should matter. I'm not aware of any awesome MMOGs lead-dev'ed by a woman, but then again, McQuaid is a man! 

[Ironwood]

There was a developer on that assasins creed gamey thing that was extremely hot.  She ended up doing most of the PR and interviews for some reason.

Probably because they figured the game would sell more if you could actually imaging greasing up her parts and diving in with a log.

Or something.

[Wolf]

She is/was a producer.
And extremly hot is an understatement. She was like my-boyfriend-has-an-s-class-mercedes-and-you-make-way-too-little-money-to-ever-be-of-interest-to-me hot.

[Ironwood]

I dunno.  I make a fuckload of money.

[Falconeer]

Stray posted the Assassin Creed girl elsewhere, but she is not the Lead Designer. So far we only found 4 female lead designer EVER in the gaming industry, being Roberta Williams (ages ago), Rieko Kodama (ages ago), Collette Michaud (ages ago and we are not still sure if she ever led a project) and Stephanie Shaver (now) who's actually the first ever lead designer of a MMO.

Rum, buggery, and the lash!

Dunno. She is pretty fucking hot.

Plus you're married and old :P

Link or it didn't happen.
