COD Development Blog: (harmless HUMOR)
 

After keeping tabs on this forum for several months, if not years, decided that some HUMOR was in store to possibly help some of the ranting and raving :grin:

HUMOR: "a comic, absurd, or incongruous quality causing amusement"

Feel free to chime in, but please keep it clean :)


Development Entry:

We regret to inform the general public that there has been a rather comical misunderstanding. During the company Christmas Party there was a rather small mistake committed. After quite a few toasts of quality Russian Vodka, a blackout moment ensued. Apparently someone fell over and accidentally touched the Marketing Manager's Number Pad.

Unknown to us the current information that was waiting for input was the COD release date. Ironically, this accident entered 3/25/2011.......

We assure you the game shall be released as scheduled for 2072.

;)

DE:

The team would like to apologize to the Western Economy, we were just now informed the Iron Curtain was lifted in 1989.

We will start daily game updates along with our KGB files 3/25/2036....

DE:

Into the recent inquiries to if the game will be running off of steam. Yes the game and our computers are steam powered. However we are still working out the problems concerning overheating.

Here is a picture of our main frame computer:

We are currently investigating into the newly developed Chernobyl power supply......

DE:

New installation technique for the release of the game. In order to appeal to a much more global market, the following USB installation device was created.

DE:

Yes the shipment to overseas distributors will happen as swiftly as possible. Our current overseas mailing system has new technology to cross the oceans a as fast as possible.

I foresee your stay here a very brief one schilla....

I think that kind of humour is exactly what's is needed to lighten things up schilla22! It does feel as if it'll be released in 2072, and the marketing and distribution does feel as clunky and primitive as the pics.

Although, having read almost every thread over the last 2 months or so, it's amazing how incredibely negative peeps on this forum are still being...and getting so @rsey with each other about the slightest little inaccuracy in detail or when the release date is...

It's gonna be out in a week and 2 days (give or take ;))...and it'll be awesome! I reckon about 80% of the people reading or contributing to this forum will buy it within a week! And love it! Knowing that the shelf-life, addons, effects packs and mods will keep us going for the next ten years, like IL2's already has done.

Here endeth the lesson :)

I prefer humor to complaining.
Let's keep the jokes rolling.

schilla22, you joined here only to write those things?... bah... you don't have nothing better to do?

Doesn't anyone find this more than a little insulting to Oleg & Team (although I don;t expect that was your intention)?

I'm sure any delay is either for;

A - Good reason, last minute show stopping bug, or to improve stuff.

or

B- Some Ubi Publisher bollox which could have been avoided if someone could do their job properly.

I'm very disappointed at the prospect of any further delays, but then 1,000s of people have just lost their lives in an earth quake, so I guess none of this really matters all that much when you put things in perspective.

Interesting to see the person putting the tags on is from a Commonwealth country, "Humor" is the correct US spelling of the word. And on an international site he has the gall to call someone else a dumb arse!

Don't make jokes involving Chernobyl. Always in poor taste, especially now.

the only funny things in this thread are the tags... and are explaining exactly what this thread is

HAHHAAH

Thanks to whoever added the tag/rating "humour, dumbass, schilla22 idiot" LOL :grin:

The whole point to most modern day comedy is to insult someone or something that is common knowledge with the ideal of making someone laugh at it or themselves.

albx - yea basically, its better than joining to b**** and complain. At least I'm trying to make people laugh instead of act like a 5 year old complaining about my ice cream falling off the cone and begging for more.

mr71mb0 - of course someone is going to find it insulting, any and every joke will insult someone. Not only that but most forums lead to what I call the "Keyboard Complex" aka because there are no face to face interaction between individuals most topics or posts will be taken out of context. And some like to hide behind a keyboard and get pissy.


Gribbers - hahahah YEP, still going to buy it the day it comes out.

Biggs - ehhh so be it... at least my attempt is harmless fun, well in my opinion and intention anyway.



In the case of this point, take it with a grain of salt......... then maybe some tequila and lime hahahah :grin:
