Many, many small items.

We have completed a strip that about the Kakuto Chojin recall, but it isn't just about that, it is about the will of Satan taking physical form on Earth.

This is a quote from that SWG thread:

I have gotten a few mails about Haden’s SWG post. I know a lot of fans are pretty pissed but none of it really bothers me. It’s not like he said that stuff would never be in the game. It just won’t be there at launch. The player generated missions is kind of a bummer. I plan on playing a bounty hunter and I imagined people not fulfilling the delivery jobs they took from other players as being a large part of my business. You give a guy a case of guns to deliver and he just takes the guns and runs you call me and I solve your problem. Oh well, I’ll just have to wait for that part I guess.

I wonder how many people will think you are kidding about the pilot episode we wrote.

I'm actually glad to say that I'm not familiar with District Managers, I feel no shame in being wrong about that.

Some quick updates about the new shirts and the comic con.

I worked retail for a long time, so these pages form the EB employee hand book stir up some pretty bad memories for me. People who have worked retail for any amount of time can share stories like veterans of some foreign war. It is a shared experience that allows people who would otherwise probably never get along to laugh and joke like old college buddies.

There is a really interesting post by Haden Blackman (a.k.a. "Shug Ninx," Lucasarts Producer on Star Wars Galaxies) about features that have been culled from the launch and reserved for future updates. They include some fairly big-ticket omissions.

There is that special feeling in the air, all around us, the feeling that only comes once a year on Tycho's Birthday Eve. Let's savor it together.

I didn’t have time to check my e-mail at all today. So um, now I am a little behind.

Just a couple quick updates.

That big-ass Battlefield 1942 1.3 patch I mentioned is out. Grabbing it now - I was up late playing it last night, and I'm really looking forward to the additions.

I see that Mary Sunshine is awake.

You forgot to talk about the Seattle Comic Con and how we will be there and stuff.

Absentmindledly sifting through gaming news a month or so ago, I saw a list of Germany's top ten games of 2002. This list in particular showed a game at number one that I had never heard of - Anno 1503. This list wasn't just strategy games or just German games or just games with Anno in the title, this was the complete list - so why had I never heard of this game Germans crave above all others?
