Urbies conquered the world, obviously... with Paul leading them.

We have another thread going for all Tweets here... http://mwomercs.com/...post__p__197505

I reported some of it, but got busy and didn't post the rest. Good job!

Also, Russ linked a picture of a Tattoo he got when he was 19...

"Tattoo I got at 19 years old...any guesses where I got the idea? Go pledge on the Shadowrun Kickstarter! http://pic.twitter.com/bsGnftot "




Cheers.

Yup, I saw the other thread, but I didn't want this to get "lost" and since I saw Russ on here a little earlier I'm hoping to catch his eye and maybe get some info

Thanks for linking to the Tatoo...

[SilentWolff]

Yes I'm all over Russ's twitter posts and plan not to give him a moments peace until all his MWO info belongs to me! Mmmmwhahahahaha

[Hawkeye 72]

Cough it up, buttercup!

I believe Russ's big news is that MWO is being shelved for now while the folks at PGI work on the newest installment of Hello Kitty: Barbie Island.

Silly ComStar security , it was so easy to breach . I found Russ' announcement .


" Last week Mechwarrior Online hit a Milestone in its development . With some strategic realignment at the PGI offices we believe this restructuring will help us develop the best game possible . I am proud to announce Garth Erlam is now our Lead Designer , a role we believe he will fill admirably .And more importantly Paul Inouye is now our Head bathroom attendant. We believe his skillset will bring much needed expertise in the Restroom department . Paul's new duties will include passing out mints , paper towels and cologne as well as scrubbing toilets and taste testing the Urinal cakes.
Please take a second to congratulate Garth and Paul in their new , and vital ,roles at PGI"

A promotion letter.

Grats Paul, you should be proud of yourself.

Yeah, to somehow imply that Hello Kitty: Barbie Island is a joke. I've been waiting all of my life for that game. MWO be damned.

CryEngine 3 updated, wonder if its related:

I have the oddest feeling Paul's going to mistake the mints for the urinal cakes.

[Aegis Kleais]

It seems Russ' milestone announcement is getting the Valve Time™ treatment of "soon" (aka "not now" aka "whenever we get to it" aka "fuggetaboutit!")

[Armored Yokai]

if paul is going to test taste the urinal cakes would it look like this?
