Given the financial realities slowly dawning on most states and municipalities, I"d be a little concerned about future salary. Hell, I am concerned - I work for the federal government and I expect pay freezes, layoffs, and maybe even salary cuts to hit us in the next year or two. Doesn"t matter...

I"d be more convinced if you hadn"t misspelled "Amory."

Yeah, screw asshats who lie about their gaming habits.

Seriously? Why not say something about his mom, too, and make this thread that much more awesome.

Hell yes! That was the first game I ever got into, when we had a Vic-20 with a freaking tape drive.

It"s hilarious to see a list that dated, and even more hilarious to feel my nerdrage rising at the relatively low rankings of X-Com and The Bard"s Tale. As time goes on, these lists will become more and more controversial because playing a game is typically not as condensed an experience as...

Curt: don"t fuck up your launch like Mythic did.

My guess: Curt"s thoughts are "Oh, is that all? God bless this pitching arm and all that hard work." But that"s just a guess. I assume he has other investors involved, anyway. That"s a lot of risk for any individual to shoulder.
