I like how their site links to 'Play chess Online' and all their support links are broken.

Interestingly enough, this signature is none of the following:
A witty remark on whatever sad state of affairs the world may or may not be in
A series of localized forum in-jokes
A clever and self-referential comment on the nature of signatures themselves.

Depends. I was refering to Beethoven's S. n°5.

Methinks he was refering to the standard cliche "imminent doom" or "shocking revelation" melody you can see in so many movies.

When I first saw that line, I thought it refferred to the briefing music (Genesis/ancients)...

but now I know... its the Music of Doom (tm)!

No! That's wrong! It has to crescendo as it goes down because the human ear more readily picks up higher pitches! "DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNN!" is the correct way to have it. :p



Sorry :nervous:.

Who knows, maybe they'll make a good deal of cash off this and then they can make what we all know they should :D.

How the heck does a developer get in $59 million of debt anyways? Publisher sure, but developer??

IIRC, Interplay is the publisher.

Still... I have to admit I'm impressed they managed to dig themselves out of that much debt. I thought Interplay was toast...

Meh. :v: made the FS series. If Interplay did want to give it another go... they'd probably get another developer for it. And I find it a bit unlikely they'd want to take a chance on a sequel to a commercial failure of a game, especially when they just recently got out of that much debt.

They might want to maybe try once they have a good foothold on the money business.
