Aw, hell.

I'm gonna get stuck with this, aren't I?

Dammit, I hate phones! Hate, hate, hate! Evil and loud and annoying and it's always somebody telling me I owe them money or relatives!

 
Im gonna call bright and early tommorow morning. I've put together what I'm going to say. Does anyone have any other things that they wish to ask besides Interplay's contact information?

 
I'll do it. :cool:

Matt: Can't hurt to find out if they have any official plans for it. They probably won't say even if they do, but hey- it's what everybody's wondering, right? :D

Tin Can, just let me know when your done and what they told you so I can ask the remaining things in the morning. Until tommorow morning I am going to continue to piece together stuff to ask them.

Don't think of it as calling up an professional game development company, asking them if you, a complete stranger, could maybe talk to someone "in charge" to inquire about the status of their intellectual property and if it might be possible to purchase said property using funds collected from among a motley crew of Internet fanboys....

...think of it as building your social skills.

 
Ok, im done. There was no one available so I will have them call me back.

Sure Im a people person, just not online. ;)

You cant imagine how many technical support phone calls I have made about various products. Being on the phone for an hour and a half with a guy from India is no easy task.

LOL, I know how you feel. I bet ive logged 400+ hours with the DELL tech support guys. They prolly know me on a first name basis. Its how I initially learned about comps tho.

 
Im in Central Time, so, Im right on the money for calls.;7

And Mathew, I know how you feel...

Here's Interplay's number... (949)553-6655
Formerly of the Dark Wings and Legion of Apocalypse

 
Crap, I dunno how to talk to these guys...

 
When I call, should I call Interplay too if I am on a roll? I'd just better hope theyre not in India or something cause It will cost like $15 to make that call if it is. Does anyone know when they close cause I could call them tonight.
