In his latest rambling, Desslock of Desslock's RPG News attacks Origin Systems. Some quotes:
After several disappointing releases immediately after its acquisition by Electronic Arts (Ultima VIII - Pagan, Pacific Strike), Origin redeems itself with Wing Commander III and IV and the Crusader series.
Later in 1997, Wing Commander Prophecy is released but it is readily apparent that the game suffered from losing most of its initially budgeted resources.
Jane's Flight Sim division is abandoned, as are planned Wing Commander/Privateer games. The entire Wing Commander Prophecy team leaves Origin.
It's a very interesting article, definitely worth reading. You can find it here. Thanks to Edward Pang.
We're up and running again. Some lingering problems related to last week's crash caused our CGI to malfunction. Because of that sections like the poll, eBay script, Card of the Day and the Chatzones were down for a good 24 hours. We're inspecting the site and restoring the few files that went missing as a result of the problems. We're confident that we're out of the woods now. Again, thanks to all the concerned visitors who have contacted us.
Antipodean authority Professor Norm Packer reports. G'day folks, it's beauty here on Hephaestus as we celebrate the mythical annual festival of Barbie, the roots of which are lost in the mists of time. All the members of the Crian University Oztralian research group are here, following the Barbie ritual to the letter, as laid down in the legendary vid-flick Gone Walkabout and Back. We've been knocking back plenty of the amber nectar all day long, which the Sheilas have been busy putting the meat to the heat; so far they've torched a good hundred tonnes of tucker, and all that's been edible so far are three measly shrimps. So, we've blown all the Livestock, and we're down to our last few tinnies - how much can a Koala bear!
