.....Where does he get his money from?
He's going on about teams of lawyers and stuff, but all his games bombed and AFAIK he's not got anything resembling a deal with any credible games company.
Are his mountains of cash like his PhD (fake) or is there actually some reasonable explaination for his being not-poor?
Seriously, it's been bugging me all night.
-
His games weren't what you might call spectacularly succesful, but they did make money. But I don't think that accounts for all of it, so I'm as lost as you are.
-
the very same place he gets his big words from, his ass.
seriously, he has the personality of a 12-year old AOL'er with slightly better english skills.
talk is cheap, so i really would take what he says with a grain of salt.
-
Whatever or whereever it nothing for us to be concern about. We should just continue on. :)
-
I think he sues a lot of people - y'know, for bad reviews, for releasing his games, etc.

:lol:
i bet he sued that coke machine for assault.. :p

I appreciate your frustration, an0n, and your anger, Turnsky. But Sigma's got it on the head here. Wherever he gets his money or his words from, we can worry about them later. Consider how helpful this thread is to the present situation? Not really, at the moment. Let it go, at least for now, guys.
-
Aww, but I wanted to know.
-
i can see your point, Setekh, i've dealt with these types before, the trick is, to just ignore them, that really annoys them to no end.:)

I'm confident we'll discover most of what we're curious about in the next few days. It will reveal itself. :)
-
I'm curious about Tiara.
Hehe.
Uh-oh.
-
:blah:
*smacks an0n across the head*
-
Uhhhh, yeah... maybe I'll just retract that last statement there. :nervous:

Try again.....about 3ft lower.....and harder.

:blah:
*knees an0n in the sack*
Was it good for you too?
-
anybody got a photo of derek smart?.. i gots an idea..;)
*opens sketchbook*
-
There's pictures of him all over the place.
He's an ugly black guy. Looks kinda like Stevie offa Malcolm in the Middle.
-
I'm sure a Google Images search would turn up something. :nervous:

GAH! Where's Photoshop when you need it?
I wanna make a Sperminator poster.
-
Now regardless of Mr Smart's actual personality... that picture seriously makes him look like a ******. That someone would buy a domain name of their own name and furnish it with a picture that makes them look like a ******... is quite bizarre.
-
thank you an0n, it's time i drew up a quick comic.. ;)
-
As soon as that pic came up, I immedaitely thought,
"Lister!"
-
Turnsky, I appreciate your humour just as much as the next HLPer, but it may be an idea to keep any comics you draw in reserve for a day or two. You know?
-
/me notes he only said Turnsky
Mwuahah.
*down......err.....purchases Photoshop 7 from Suprnova*

don't worry, with my backlog, it may be a little while.;)
-
Funny, I said the same thing yesterday while walking into the bathroom.
-
Your mother was worried about you dirtying the walls?

Both of you. :p Don't do anything rash that won't help anyone.
-
I was only gonna make 2 movie-esque posters:
You Got Served
Grease: One man and his pig.
-
And maybe: Attack of the Cokes.
-
Nobody can stop you, just realise you do it off your own back - it's nothing to do with us, HLP or the FS community.
I never realised PR could be so bloody tiring.

don't worry, it'll be only of light humor.. :nod: it's actually making fun of his lawyers more than anything else :P
check your PM box steak, for details..

10-4. I'll leave it in your hands, I trust your discretion. :)
-
OMG I MET THIS GUY!!! NO LIE!!! I used to work at where he had his mailbox!
-
What a coincedence man! I remember when I worked there he was working on a game (this was back in 95 or 96). The owner at the time wanted to put in computer games and he offered to do it for an astronomical amount.
FYI: I didn't remember the name, but I saw his picture on the other page and I couldn't mistake him.

In 20-30 years you'll be sat around a fireplace, telling your kids that story.
"I knew Smart. I knew him before he took over Germany. Before the SA, before the SS, when he was just a dumbass with an ugly girlfriend. If only I'd kicked him down the stairs, millions of lives might have been saved.........."
-
Lol, he used to come in and I never personally had a problem with him. Other employees there that were into games thought he was cool cuz he was designing a game or had designed one.

That's already been done :p

Just try not to blatantly insult anyone, ok? We don't want more closed threads than we already have. :p

Who, me?

an0n, like I said, please don't. Maybe later, possibly. But this really is not helping anyone. // Setekh
-
...looks vaguely like Shodan.
You have too much time on your hands.
-
I think with some chin-shadow on the neck it'd look better, but I've closed PS now, so screw it.
-
Can someone please tell me what all these refrences to the Coke machine are about?
-
An incident at a company. He got pissed at them cause they were gonna release his game early with bugs in it. He got pissed off and apparently attacked a coke machine before being escorted out.
-
Lmao!
-
he "beat up" a coke machine once, it's become something of a running gag.
umm... why don't you guys go do this stuff over at NW or WS, as said we've already made a bit of an ass of our selves.
-
Sorry Bobboau. They asked, I answered. Didn't mean to perpatuate an incident. :)
Though thanks for the Warpstorm pimpage. ;)
-
I wasn't refering to you but more the photochopping and stuff like that. we're getting referenced by half the wired world today, it would be better to not give Mr. Smart a nice indexed list of our idiocy. if you get what I'm saying.
-
Perfectly.
Was just thinking, it's a pity you can move threads to other forums but not other sites. I kept thinking "he should move this thread to Warpstorm" :D
-
you're both useing vBulletin arn't you?
-
That was on the wishlist of vB3. Cross-server administration options.
But the vBulletin people decided it posed a security risk or something.
-

For the time being yes. Why do you ask?
-
I'd still think it would be posable to copy the files, delete them here, continue them there.
-
What about the member names? We don't have alot of HLP members.
-
Methinks you could export the specific posts and import them into the WS database, but like HeX said, there's the problem of the members.
And not to mention vB3 uses a ****load of different table and field names to vB2.
-
Well we could simplify the matter. Just direct people to Warpstorm. Hell they wanna ***** and rant and rave about the issue the Rift is the place to be.
Though PeachE may start biting at the newbiew. :D
-
Whoa, whoa, ****ing, whoa!
NW. They're going to go to NW.
-
Why not both?
-
Right. Outside now.
*grabs the bludgeon-n-blade sticks and puts on the dramatic music*
Standard TOS Pon Farr rules apply.
*hands HeX a stick*
Die!
-
Because there is no dungeon pr0n forum.

Agreed. Sorry, but I've had to edit out an0n's post. If it crops up again, I'll close this off.
-
Buh!?!
Why? It's wasn't exactly offensive. Hell, the picture I did of Sutehp was FAR worse and that never got removed.
-
Sutehp was funnier.
