Yeah, Kara or Thunder or someone along those lines. We could always get someone with a thick accent to call them up and talk very fast. Hopefully, they'll be so confused that they'll agree to whatever it is they think the person wants, and then we gots em by the grapes....er, yup.

2 things.

1) Interplay's number has been disconnected for some time. It still is.

2) Jesus, have you people lost your minds? Can we please edit out the bull****?

3) I lied, 3 things. I actually have been trading emails with Volition for a couple weeks now on the PXO issue, can we PLEASE not deluge them with calls? They stopped answering their phone once because of such things, I'd like to actually keep the communications open this time. Or would we like a repeat of the VBB? Come on people, those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Use them brains. Think tact, think diplomacy. Just THINK.

OOOH, MR. KOTTER!

Silent Space, right? Do I win anything?

By the way, any idea if that game was any good?  As impressive as Far Cry turned out to be, the advance screenshots for Silent Space were kind of average.

I agree with this 100% which is why I said only one of us should do it. I was thinking along the lines of introducing myself (if I end up being the one who does it) by saying that I was officially nominated by the community to interview someone from [V] precisely so that they WOULDN'T be deluged with e-mails and phone calls. :)

Tread lightly folks.

Now, if we can get LL to remove that pic and that comment, all will be right with the world.

If anybody gets through to Interplay, remember, you're a representative of Microsoft or some other big-name game company. If you tell them you're from some forum run by kids who obviously won't have any money, they'll hang up immediately. Tell them that your company is looking into the possibility of developing a space sim and would preferably like to license one rather than create a whole new universe. Your company has been looking at a number of licensing possibilities, such as Wing Commander or Independence War or whatnot, and the FreeSpace name came up. Ask for a price for acquiring the rights to FreeSpace, but before they answer, make sure to note that the FreeSpace name is not very valuable considering that the games never sold many copies. Your company probably wouldn't be willing to pay more than $100-150 grand [you want to drive down the value of buying the rights if possible].

What's the HTML for a glowing blue ":V: for FS3" sig?

If I get thru to Interplay, I will be myself. But that particular contact number is disconnected.

Anyone who engages in illegal harrassment gets what the deserve. If you want to be a twat, only the local constabulary knocking on your door will wake you up. Good luck in life, brain dead behavior like that will get you far.

Smooth attitude.

We need a slogan poster... something to start a riot with if we have to protest in front of Volition or THQ.

What we need is for people to shut the **** up and calm down. All this  "DEREKSMART FNU DIE BLAHBLAHBLAH FS3 N00BS" bull**** is really getting on my nerves. You all sound like a bunch of immature children.
