lol! I guess he doesn't realize his credibility takes a hit when he says he will do something....and doesn't show or take 60 seconds out of his day to say why he won't make good on it.

The sad thing is it is interchangeable...whether it is the game itself...the release schedule...the patch schedule...the lines of communication...the Readme for a beta patch...or answering questions...big or small...doesn't matter....there is no distinction....each as carefully plotted a fiasco as it is humanly possible to see.

Not just a car-crash....one of those cars-down-ramps-with-crash-test-dummies-into-a-wall filmed at several thousand frames a second.....the abstractions of collision and recoil. The weird beauty in the thing.
