Tell us what's happened to you recently (that's interesting)

WarrenM · 2009-09-21T07:07:11.000Z

Yeah, I asked Tom to change my name. I got tired of people interpreting everything I say as official Epic company line.

kerzain · 2009-09-21T07:11:39.000Z

Sounds like a good reason to me.

Griddle · 2009-09-21T07:12:24.000Z

WarrenM:

So painful. I hope he can forgive us some day…

You are an awesome friend, I hope you know that. :) Not many folks these days care that much to have an anurism just to make their friend feel special, you did good.

That’s the sort of stance I’ve come to expect from a Warren. If that’s how you Warrens think, I’m never buying another game made by a Warren again!

The inability of people who have a last name starting with the letter M to act civilly towards one another never ceases to amaze me.

Hans_Lauring · 2009-09-21T07:35:49.000Z

I’m sure Epic told him to change his name… after working him for 180 hours straight and ordering him to some colleagues surprise party.
I even think he egged my house.

WarrenM:

Pretty much hinges on the house key situation. If it had been where it was supposed to be, we would have been in the house a good hour before they got home and would have set everything up nicely.

Yeah, how did the organizer completely fail that most critical step?

WarrenM · 2009-09-21T08:03:44.000Z

It’s a long story. It’s sort of his personality. He always seems doomed to fail in his plans.

Our primary failing in this is that we let him run with the ball. We should have stepped in and took over but we were lazy. We paid for it. Heh.

You’re not going to change your license plate, are you?

WarrenM · 2009-09-21T08:47:28.000Z

Hell no. :)

If this is about boobs, I don’t think anybody reasonable was arguing with you because they thought you were giving the official Epic company line. But, it’s probably a good move anyway.

WarrenM · 2009-09-21T10:03:13.000Z

It gets thrown back in my face way too often. It’s a pain and it was time to do something about it, is all. That thread was just the final straw that kicked me into action.

CheesyPoof · 2009-09-21T10:39:31.000Z

That strategy has worked really well for Charles.

Meh, if people are going to use their work in arguments to support their position they have to be prepared to have it used against them when it doesn’t. Whatever handle people use isn’t terribly relevant, though in Warren’s case it was an easy target in those circumstances.

Lorini · 2009-09-21T11:32:10.000Z

Surprised you didn’t rename yourself to AppleBoy :) :) :)

Bad_Neighbor · 2009-09-21T11:58:59.000Z

This is how I read it at first, and I don’t want to interpret it any other way.

Creole_Ned · 2009-09-21T22:52:39.000Z

The dog had a close encounter with a skunk tonight.

Again.

Unlike the previous time the skunk didn’t go full-out nuclear (one of the worst smells EVAR and it hung around for many days) but the air is still rather pungent at the moment.

Since we’re now at Skunk 2, Barley 0 we’re hoping the skunks will declare victory and move on.

I’m … so sorry. Washing the cat after a skunk encounter was always my job growing up. Yes, before you ask, I was raised by sadists.

I just sat in a booth with Hideo Kojima yesterday! I didn’t talk to him or meet him… but I was lucky enough to be within a few feet of him.

Also, I have never played any MGS. But he is famous, so I am happy.

Matt_Bowyer · 2009-09-22T06:43:58.000Z

I am leaving on a business trip – my first one ever – in three hours. It’ll also be the first time I’ll have spent a night away from my wife since I’ve been married (a year on October 12th), and for some reason I’m taking it kinda hard. I think it’s the unknown plus being away from her.

On the bright side, I have tickets for a second showing of Distant Worlds in Chicago in December, and Vienna Teng in Lawrence, KS. I never go to concerts, and this makes four in a year!
