'It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for the winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. And also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?'
Current Mood: Gone somewhere -Who knows what to think anymore? I do. I think; "I WANT MY GUITAR!" Simple thought, yes? When I get it, then what becomes of that thought? Does it turn into something else? The brain cells dumping that thought into the garbage bin of my brain, busily recycling it into something else. Like food. I'm hungry. I'm getting something to eat.
Old news I know. If you don't play many games, you may as well just skip this part.
Interplay shuts down Black Isle Studios
After months of bad omens, the end has finally come for the veteran RPG developer.
It looks like role-playing gamers will have a boulder of coal stuffed in their holiday stockings this year, as GameSpot has received reliable reports that Interplay has shut down Black Isle Studios.
While nothing has been confirmed by official sources as of press time, Damien "Puuk" Foletto, a member of BIS' art department, broke the news on the Interplay forums late this afternoon. "Today was my last day at the (former) BIS, as it was for my whole team," he said. To date, Foletto's posts have been one of the most reliable sources of news on the development of Fallout 3 (aka Van Buren) including the departure of his former co-worker J.E. Sawyer.
Black Isle's closure is a sad end for the once-great developer. BIS had a hand in some of the most acclaimed PC RPGs of the late 1990s, including the Fallout and Baldur's Gate series. Recently, though, the studio fell on hard times. Its forthcoming Dungeons & Dragons title, code-named "Jefferson," was canned earlier this year, reportedly a casualty of a legal tangle with D&D rights-holders Wizards of the Coast. A host of top-quality talent has fled the studio, including legendary producer Feargus Urquhart.
However, it looks like the financial woes of BIS' parent Interplay finally did the developer in. Interplay has lost over $20 million so far this year. Its two main holiday releases, the console RPGs Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II (which was developed by BIS), were pushed back to next January as a result of another legal dispute, this time with distributor VU Games. Interplay's refocusing on console games may have also been a factor in the decision to shutter its more PC-centric subsidiary.
Regardless of the reasons, the closure of BIS will hit many gamers hard. Foletto's final post seemed particularly depressing. "I don't know where I'll end up," he said, "but [people should] know that we were all avid gamers and wanted to make the PC games that not only we wanted to play, but also the fans."
"Being a member of the team I can tell you what they were thinking. The new head honcho doesn't like PC games and has even stated that in the past. Its pretty obvious he was responsible for the death of BIS. There was alot of bad feelings between BIS and the rest of the company since BIS actually produced titles on a regular basis instead of <censored> around like everyone else. It was all politics.
So now they have bet the future of the company on 2 unproven projects. Fallout BOS2 (the first hasn't shipped and everyone knows its going to tank) and a console game based on the Exalted license. So instead of supporting the team working on Fallout 3 which has a proven record and was FAR along in development, they rest the future on the unknown.
You can be sure Interplay will sell the Fallout license to someone else. They've made short-sighted quick money decisions in the past (Hunter license is an example). They figure they can sell it off for a quick buck and save all the development money while losing any long term profit. Brilliant.
They will survive for awhile since Vivendi is stupid enough to keep giving them money. Also when BGDA2 ships that will give them a big stack of money so they will screw around all next year on these dead end titles until the money finally dries up and they go under. They might survive until the end of next year if they don't lose all of development. No one trusts them now so everyone still there is actively searching for jobs."
Current Mood: Recovering -Sad news... it's most like George W. Bush is going to get re-elected... -sorry, make that elected... -still, compared to Lieberman: "Huzzah!" -so four more years of Dubya jokes to follow. Great. -Let's teach those American's a thing or three and put Clinton back in their office. 2 terms is never enough.

Current Mood: No longer sick and delusional... just sick now... -Slept 84 hours, give or take a few for bathroom breaks. That's a new record. 36 at Steve's. 48 at home. -Didn't eat anything during that whole time... -I'm only just now able to walk again without falling down on my face... -Damned headache will not go away... must have ingested 4000 grams of Acetylsalicylic acid at least... and umpteen other supposedly helpful drugs... Neo Citran is just bleh... -I had so many dreams... most involved me dying in some way, and the others involved everyone else dying... o_O -The best dreams were when I was bordering the line between consciousness and and sleep. I had some crazy delusions going on. I 'dreamt' (while half-conscious) that there little mice running up and down my veins inside me, that I had 5 noses, that there was a band floating around my head(and I was part of it), there were little elves dancing around me, and a bunch of other freaky stuff. -Try to imagine a war between Lilliputian size people going on all around your body... That was cool --- [Miracle:] Friday evening The blood still on my hands To think that she would leave me now For that grateful man
Sole survivor No witness to the crime I must act fast to cover up I think that there`s still time

[V:] Feeling good this friday afternoon I ran into Julian Said we`d get together soon He's always had my heart He needs to know I'll break free of the Miracle It's time for him to go
This feeling inside me Finally found my love, I've finally broke free No longer torn in two He'd kill his brother if he only knew
Their love renewed They'd rendezvous In a pathway out of view They thought no one knew They came a shot out of the night
[Sleeper:] One last time We`ll lay down today One last time Until we fade away One last time We`ll lay down today One last time We slowly fade away
As their bodies lie still And the ending draws near Spirits rise through the air All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear A blinding light comes into view An old soul exchanged for a new A familiar voice comesshining through
[N:] This feeling inside me Finally found my love, I'm finally free No longer torn in two I learned about my life by living through you
This feeling inside me Finally found my love, I've finally broke free No longer torn in two Living my own life by learning from you
We'll meet again my friend someday soon

We saw The Last Samurai. -Now I'm sitting here, 10 minutes until it becomes tomorrow. 10 minutes until Marie's birthday turns into Steve's birthday. 10 minutes until I have to wake Steve up... ;) -He liked his gift too. It was a spontaneous thing really. As Steve knows, never take me shopping, heh. -Yesterday was good too. I had fun as a James Dean look-alike. Janis cut my hair, then we filmed a movie. "Jesse stop being a wad" -Good times... -I've been feeling so happy these past couple weeks, like nothing can bother me whatsoever. Maybe it's the christmas spirit, maybe it's because I found someone, maybe nothing has been going wrong for me, or maybe I've just been happy because I've been happy... works for me. -Anyways, I'm off to watch my Christmas present from Janis and Adric.

"Picture" (feat. Sheryl Crow)
[Kid Rock] Livin' my life in a slow hell Different girl every night at the hotel I ain't seen the sun shine in 3 damn days Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whisky Wish I had a good girl to miss me Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways I put your picture away Sat down and cried today I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her I put your picture away, sat down and cried today I can't look at you, while I'm lyin next to her
[Sheryl Crow] I called you last night in the hotel Everyone knows but they wont tell But their half hearted smiles tell me Somethin' just ain't right I been waitin' on you for a long time Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine I ain't heard from you in 3 damn nights I put your picture away I wonder where you been I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him I put your picture away I wonder where you been I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him I saw ya yesterday with an old friend
[Kid Rock] It was the same ole same "how have you been"
[Both] Since you been gone my worlds been dark & grey
[Kid Rock] You reminded me of brighter days
[Sheryl Crow] I hoped you were comin' home to stay I was headed to church
[Kid Rock] I was off to drink you away
[Both] I thought about you for a long time Can't seem to get you off my mind I can't understand why we're living life this way I found your picture today I swear I'll change my ways I just called to say I want you to come back home I found your picture today I swear I'll change my ways I just called to say I want you to come back home I just called to say, I love you come back home
Current Mood: Normal *ugh* and tired -stupid morning detentions *grumble grumble* -I have the premonition that I may be getting more in the near future, because no one was there to take attendance, and it'll be my fault of course... -Well, the concert last night was a success. I played extremely well, I felt, and that's what matters to me. I also loved the other acts, especially Yan and the Kampana Bells. Even though I was there until 9:30 putting away everything, with only Marie helping... I'm j/k, lots of people helped, of course, though they mysteriously vanished as more and more stuff was put away... -Jazz band after school, hurrah... -Janis is right, more and more people are feeling the winter loving spirit. *Bow chika wow wow* >_> -I've been in such a great mood the past couple days. Makes me worry for the future, but oh well. -I was also having a lot of fun before the concert. I LOVE THAT TIE! *faints*

Kill yourself. No, really. It would do humanity some much needed good. It would cut back on homelessness, world hunger, violence, war, and all that "bad stuff". Just imagine, if Hitler had killed himself (pre-WW II), World War II could have been avoided altogether..
Now, away from the "help society" reasons. Fuck you. You're worthless and I hate you. You ignorant fuckers are dragging any of us with an intelectual mind right down the shitter with you. Stick a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger. I can't stand you people. People. I hate people. Everyone thinks they're so cool. All that and a bag of chips. Well, guess what? You can take your popular trends and fashions, shove them straight up your asses, and blow yourself to hell.
"Oh my gawd, did you see the new line of jeans from...?". Who gives a shit? Listen Dolly, really, if you want people to notice you, don't be a fucking sheep. Dolly the sheep was a clone. That's what you all are. Worthless imitators and instigators. Everyone trying to be something they're not, to impress people and "Fit in".
Don't fit in. Stick out. Break the Cycle. A few examples. You shop at Hot Topic, you wear black and red, you wear spikes, you dye your hair, so of course, you're punk. Wrong, you have to understand it. Another one. Girls, you never eat and you're constantly obsessing over your weight ( OMFG! I gained half a pound! ), you wear tons of make-up, and revealing clothes, so that makes you beautiful in the eyes of society doesn't it? Little hint here, too much make-up, and you look like a whore.
People irritate me. Always doing what they think others want them to do. Why should you give a fuck? Do try and "rebel" and do things you know they'll hate, but you don't like either. That's not rebellion. That's you being an idiot. Do what makes you happy. But better yet, do what makes me happy. Kill yourself, and rid the world of your stupidity. Don't inflict your problems on others. Your existance is your biggest problem. But we all have little problems, don't we? No one cares about your little problems, so don't try coming to me and bitching about them. Another thing, if you hear someone talking, and don't agree with it, go drown yourself. Who cares what you think? No one. Don't try to force your opinions down they're throat just because you think your right. Instead, slit your wrists vertically with a straight-edge razor and dunk them into a bucket of warm water. Oh, your life sucks? Boo hoo, get over it.
Or Kill yourself. Now.
