They aren't selling a mech this month so maybe he feels he doesn't need to communicate with us or get us excited.

Do we know this for a fact?

Who knows.

I think Russ just got tired of all the Bulllshit comp players and took a break.

Now a fun question who can answer this (Who has a higher IQ Russ or Brian) I wont include Paul his IQ is like 85.

I'm not saying he's developed contempt for us, but he's developed contempt for us.

[Thorqemada]

Give the man a rest so he can further do his best!

[Chimera_]

Eh, if he's taking a break in order to recoup his energy and enthusiasm I'm all for it. The town halls lately have gotten steadily less and less interesting and his "sleeping" picture they used on the overlay seemed to get more and more accurate.

I'd also have no issue with him keeping away from twitter indefinitely if he did communicate in other ways...seeing the same few people send him literally dozens of tweets every week has to be tiring and I don't think most players are even aware that twitter is the place to contact him. Twitter is a horrible place to communicate exclusively through, as no real conversation can occur.

I just hope he's able to somehow regain his enthusiasm for the game. Lately he's seemed increasingly disinterested and/or worn out (though I'm sure the alcohol didn't help there, either).

Russ is gone?!? Best thing to happen to this IP in years.

[Big Tin Man]

More importantly, where is teh b33f? He hasn't made a video in a long time.

It's been too long since I've seen B33f in game, or any new vids on youtube. Guy's a riot..needs to come back.

[DarthHias]

Well, when being under loads of stress, sometimes people drink a glass to be able to sleep. This can get routine. Sometimes you just need a break to get everything out of your system. I think he will be back and with renewed power.

Regarding the B33f... Perhaps he´s Russ Bullocks alt account

I saw b33f in game a couple days ago. He's probably just burned out and doing other things.

10 days is enough to file a missing person's report.

Or he could just be on vacation.

Let's see. Hiding from Community. On Vacation.

Smart money is probably on vacation.

I hear it getting warm up in Vancover....


But naaa, that makes sense and doesn't require a Tin Foil hat so i will assume the worse like the rest of these boards.

Even if they release it now, it would put a gap in the releases so i was assuming they are taking a small break from mech production as well.

First week of the month is over i dont see one coming in June at all Honestly but im fine with it.

Who knows.

Maybe he should get off Twitter (and the internet) if he's that thin skinned?

How is that even relevant to this discussion? For what it's worth, I've personally seen people on their phones using social media outside...in the sun, even.

LOL!


No way really!?!?


Social Media IN THE SUN!??! How absurd......
Its certainly more relevant then you SOLELY commenting to take a jab at a comment that went over your head.







ITs called VACATION, when i do it the phone stays turned off because my phone is where WORK comes from. Sorry you thought i was taking a jab at Twitter but i think it will live.


and FYI its good to go outside daily WITHOUT your cell phone. Like a WALK or even a RUN try social media while running a few miles? But if you dont do those things i guess Twitter is easy all the time.

Ever work a service job? Heh, practically the very first thing you learn out of training is that there is not enough contempt in the world for the folks you have to deal with every day.

Piranha needs a (much, much) better system for dealing with its customers/playerbase...but no, I do not and never will blame anyone at Piranha for hating the vast majority of the hate-spewing rage volcanoes that populate this sinkhole.
