Seriously is it the heat?
Because I was just there last week visiting some of your former colleagues at a neighboring developer (you can look up my real name in your database and it will make a bit more sense to you).
Anyhow,from someone who knows first hand how hard this stuff really is, I have always stood by you and inmost cases defended your decisions, design directives towards gameplay mechanics and the sudden and seemingly abrupt changes you've continually made since day 1. Okay, since you are probably looking me up in the database about now,I had a milestone due the day the game went live, but shortly thereafter I was running away from womp ratsin Wayfar.
But I must say, even though I still truly believe you are all some extremely talented individuals, in regards to the recent changes on test... you are on your own. So good luck.
My parting advice is this...
Step away from the keyboards for a moment, getin your cars and drive on out to the "County Line" and order up some Hippie Burgers,drink a swig of sweet tea and take a listen to the talkin' Texan in the men's room. It might just remind you what variety is all about.Because if the recent code gets pushed to live we canall kiss it goodnight.
But seriously, it's the heat right?
/... Ooter Frumpenpuff whishes you well and hopes to see you soon.

Hey, maybe everybody based in Texas should stage a protest outside their offices.
Surely there's lots of us.
Surely there's lots of us.
We could call it something like "Former Fan" Fest.

"The County Line" is a Texas chain of sorts, yes. There's one in Houston, and the one in Austin has a great view up on that hill in the evenings. I think there's one in Dallas as well.
