Seems when I posted a news article moments ago, Nintendarse, the previous poster, recieved my Anima avatar on the front page. Ditto with Great Rumblers avatar with a few other members down the line, and again with OB1s Meatwad. Don't know if it's just some sort of vBulletin thing, but it's weird.
Sorry if you don't like Anima, Arse, but it looks like you're stuck with it for now :).
Well, not so much appear in it, more like get shot by Snake and never be seen or heard from again, but hey, something is better than nothing! Konami is holding a similar contest as they did for MGS2, where random names are selected to appear on enemy soldiers dogtags. You can apply here. I signed up, I probably won't get picked, but hey, it's worth a shot, right? Good luck!
In celebration of the 18th anniversary of his birth (June 3, 2003), Nintendarse has gotten his first job ever. Before going off to college, Nintendarse is getting a summer job at Toys 'R Us. While it's practically minimum wage, Arsey is glad that his summer will not be spent completely rotting his brain away. Congratulations!
Quote:Nintendo are to stop production of the Famicom (NES) and Super Famicom (SNES) consoles in Japan this September. Nintendo will also stop doing disk-writing services for the Famicom Disk System, which was released in 1986.
While the Famicom Disk System is no longer in production the Famicom and Super Famicom have both been in production since they were first released. The Famicom went through an appearance change for it's 10th anniversary while the Super Famicom also changed it's appearance in 1998. This year will be the Famicom's 20th anniversary.
If you still wish to play Famicom games Hudson are releasing some old games on the GameCube. To find out more check the news story.
Recently Canada just decriminalized pot smoking .The idea was to take the focus on heavier far more dangerous drug abusers.
My opinion is the goverment trying to make another tabbaco cash cow off the backs of its citizens.
First of all recently hand full of tokers started lighting up in front of their schools which hadint happen before the new bill was passed.Not only was the policed called in again and now things are worse then before the bill was passed ,Alot of crackheads actually thought it was legal to smoke weed and thought they could do it publicly.
Why dont we now make it legal to bring beer to school and have mad parties were we can puke everywhere.
Just behind my house we have an ruined rubble of an old ice arena that burnt down 50 years ago, It is now owned by my neighbor. Recently a bunch of punks decided they would camp out there and have a stoning party , They started being loud and destructive and even one of them urinated on my street.
The police were called and they had to send in the swat teams through our neighborhood and round these bitches up. But in the process caused some damage to our properties and our houses.
What I would like too do is beat the living shit out of Jean chrietien for ruining our society and helping to increase drug abuse in our towns and cities. Most of all ruining our freindship with the U.S thanks to his imoral Liberal phycho babble!
All I can say is if you want to toke do it in your house if you want to do it on my property be prepared to bring a bullet proof vest.
I hope the Tories win the next election so we can finally bring some inteligence back into our goverment.
I'm not huge on introduction threads because I don't like to announce my newb-ness, but today I'll make an exception. Anyway, Darunia, a friend from my high school linked me to these forums. And, after numerous threats to my life, I decided to join.
I mostly play PC games such as battlefield 1942, America's Army, and Rainbow 6: Raven Shield but I like to play the occasional console game such as any RE game except for those infernal games RE gaiden, and survivor.
Quote:After the bittersweet days of the release of Wizardry 8 late in 2001 and our farewell interview with SirTech's Robert Sirotek one and a half years have passed. The meantime also saw the Jagged Alliance team around Linda Currie getting signed by Strategy First and the Jagged Alliance brand licensed by Strategy First. We now had the chance to talk to Robert Sirotek and Linda Currie about their current howabouts and plans for the future, and, hang tight, you will be positivley surprised by the answer!
RPGDot: Hi Linda, Hi Robert! Please tell us, what happened to you & to Sir-Tech in 2002.
Robert: Hi, nice to hear from you again. I took some time off to spend with my family - the first time I have done this - and loved it. Almost didn't come back, but I did. I still love the gaming industry. I am involved with several friends helping them with their companies. I don't want to name these companies, but I am sure you will have heard of them. They are all great veterans in the gaming industry and have much more to contribute to it. Also, I continue with Sirtech, but on a much smaller scale. On top of all of this, I also continue to look for any interesting new opportunities to become a part of. Best place to reach me is through the general inquiries section of the Sir-tech.com web site.
RPGDot: Is Sir Tech gone now or are you still running it?
Robert: No, it is still going.
RPGDot: Linda, I understand you were employed by Strategy first for a short time. What happened there? What did you work on?
Linda: Yes, I was employed there for a year and a bit. Unfortunately their situation required them to close their Ottawa office so I and the rest of the team found ourselves suddenly unemployed. In all fairness, what I was working on there should just remain a mystery. Though I'm sure there were rumors in abundance, it's pretty irrelevant now.
RPGDot: How are chances to see Jagged Alliance 3 one day?
Robert: Chances are excellent.
RPGDot: Are you currently working on any projects, like trying to conclude any of Sir Tech series? How many of the Ex-SF people are there available as of today?
Linda: As we had indicated in the press release we put out in late December, Ian Currie & I are working to find funding for our team of people. This is primarily the team of people from Sirtech Canada that went to Strategy First with us in September 2001, though we have gained a couple of new members since then. They are all on-board with us in the pursuit of a new venture and we've definitely gotten some interesting leads.
RPGDot: Is there any chance of seeing you all return to work together?
Linda: We believe that we have a really solid chance of the team staying together to work on future projects. Ian & I have a lot of respect for the capabilities of everyone on the team and the fact that we've worked together successfully for many years should be attractive to anyone who knows how difficult it is to build a solid game development team. We are following some very interesting prospects.
RPGDot: And how are chances for a Wizardy 9?
Robert: Yes, absolutely the chances are very good. I can not tell you much more than this. When some decisions are taken, and I have something to report, I will contact you.
If this happens then all three of the major company closings of the last few years -- Sir-Tech, Looking Glass, and SNK -- will all have survived in some form... :) :) :)
