Here's the names of a couple thousand people who revile game companies that don't feed their perception of providing valuable input on how to bloat your software with terrible ideas.

As was previously hinted at by me. Then followed-up and confirmed by EightAce. Then that follow JohnP0100 over on mmorpg with his own musings; they're in full-on crisis mode.

Truly, I can't divulge more than that unless and until some public news breaks or it will burn my sources (at least one of them would be a guaranteed burn).

PSA: Erin is in the US.

That is all.

Erin's out. Also, he beat up his brother for damaging his professional career, and making him look like poo poo to his employees who followed him into this mess, and who he actually cares about. Then he gave Chris a wedgie on the way out.

In a just world.

Dr Smart consistently predicts things will happen in 2 weeks and I have followed this thread very closely and I have noticed that at two week intervals from when he says this something often comes to light and it is bad.

In short he has a strong track record of accuracy and correctness and he is literally a hero.

It's more like a deck of many things, except each card you draw reminds you about all the other cards still in the deck, yet to be drawn, and then a thousand citizens cling to their rosaries and remind themselves that guys

No way, I want kickstart a project with that guy and then kick some holes (that is the right term for golf right) with the guy and be like, 'drat' when he mentions that no-one has ever tried this attire on the green before, 'it's never been done,' he says as he birdies for the hundred time and insists on another mulligan while I contemplate if he has life insurance or not, and if I can emulate Furio from Sopranos well enough to get rid of the bee on his hat

No I didn't. I made several posts (here) about it. In fact, I was the first (I think) to post both croberts endorsement, and the KS link.

Then the Goons took off with it.

I have a better method.

1) bookmark the last page I was on when I leave
2) return (usually next day or when I have a lull in my day/eve), go to the current last page
3) open current last page in new tab
4) read backward +5 pages
5) go to bookmark in #1, read forward +5 pages
6) repeat until I arrive where #4 and #5 meet
7) go to #3
8) proceed as normal (usually, depending on how much poo poo is going down, it takes an average of +10 pages to catch up)

Seriously, I read every loving post. And I tend to archive (to Clipmate and/or Evernote depending on post type e.g. Gorf's masterpieces ALWAYS go into Evernote) as I go along

Don't care if it's just 'temporary', they went in public with it and claiming credit. Crash and burn this guy ;/
