If there is any linkage issues, I’ve added the full text at the bottom of this post.  We had hoped to talk about this weeks ago but frankly, other things (like the launch of WAR) took precedence.  As Jen’s letter made clear, [...]

He shoots (not the cute little pony though) and he scores!

Quick shoutout to Syp over at his blog Waagh! for his idea of adding a developer commentary to the ToK ( http://waaagh.wordpress.com/2008/09/24/if-wishes-were-horses).  I’m not sure if that idea was already kicked around by Paul (I think it has but I’m not sure) but it’s a damn fine idea regardless.  I’ll put that down on our [...]

A banning we will go, a banning we will go. Heave ho off the servers yo, a banning we will go!

I hate gold sellers/spammers. No, that’s not strong enough, let me try again. I HATE GOLD SELLERS WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING. Ah, that’s better. Now, why do I hate them you may ask? I hate them for a number of reasons, most of which have been detailed in various interviews [...]

Just a simple reminder

So, I’ve been getting a continual stream of stuff like “When are you going to fix my class in DAoC?” or “I think that roots are overpowered in WAR. What will you do?” and while I don’t mean to be rude, I won’t be answering those kind of comments here. As my About [...]

Ground Control to Major Tom: Commencing Countdown Engines On

It’s less than 48 hours from the launch of the Head Start for Warhammer Online. By Sunday night, baring a ground hold, WAR will be in commercial operation. It’s been a three year project and one with more ups and downs than Kings Island in Cincinnati. The team has worked amazingly hard [...]

Look Mom, I’m Blogging…

Fair warning, the entry that follows is not funny, snarky, inflammatory, etc. and probably isn’t what you are expecting from me. It’s a piece that I knew I was going to write once I made the decision to start blogging. So, unless you want to read a serious, sad and possibly maudlin piece, please [...]

Grab the tar and feathers boys and girls, it’s party time, Internet-style

INT. The Blogosphere – Midnight

A mob of ANGRY people are gathering around a man named Tobold who is tied up and hanging over a vat of cold tar. Standing next to him are a whole lot of chickens and a man with a grey goatee and mustache wearing a white suit.
Angry Mob [...]

Fan Mail From Some Flounder

Folks, just another long night but hey, since the Yankees are actually winning tonight I’ll take some time off and catch up on some mail,
Grunkaz says “Just curious, how’s the relationship with Games Workshop going right now just before release? Do you see any changes a year down the track? I for one am a [...]

Fan Mail From Some Founder

Folks, tonight’s FM will be rather short due to a rather busy day and the fact that I already posted an entry tonight.
Nekomieu says “I was wondering, is there any plans of release those jobs that didn’t make it in final release eventually?” Jobs, we don’t need no stinkin’ jobs! This game is supposed to [...]

The Wayback Machine

What’s the point of this entry you may be asking yourself? For those unfortunates who heard my keynote at AGDC a few years ago I spent a fair amount of time talking about some of the true pioneers in the online industry. Now that I have this little soapbox (which today may feel more like [...]
