Jimbuna · 10-14-08, 11:38 AM

Just got back a few hours ago.

That was one hell of a meeting everyone....a meeting I will never forget.

A big vote of thanks from me and the Grey Wolves guys to Neal and all the rest of you.

Your friendship, warmth and hospitality were very much appreciated

Now to sort the pictures out

I second that motion.

All in favor?

Now all you have to do is convince the one person whose vote counts - the boss!:rotfl:

Nice pictures! Also a lot of new faces (almost all). Too bad that we couldnt make it. Baby still has not been born (40 weeks + 1 day now)

We hope to make it to the next meeting

England maybe?

Cheers,
BlueBeard and Angel

Sailor Steve · 10-14-08, 12:02 PM

Next year is Denmark. McBeck is already working on it and we gotta ride the Nautilus!

BlueBeard · 10-14-08, 12:08 PM

That would be cool. Also lot closer by and we can make an entire holiday out of it.
I hope also some of the old gang will be there. What month will the meeting be in?

I'm hearing early rumours of August.

Allow me to reciprocate mate.

You played a major part in my enjoyment factor

Wish I could have been there to talk about SH5. SH4 is just at the playability takeoff point and Ubi's business model demands they get another infusion of cash by shooting it down, while yet again reinventing the wheel. It is SO hard for me to see any good coming of that. They're insisting on pushing a rope and wondering why they don't get good results. It's time to break the mold of kiddie popcorn FPS games and make a new business model that actually works with simulations of quality.

Hint: simulations are played for years. FPS and RPG games are played for weeks until the kid beats the game and then discards it. The business model that doesn't reflect that reality is destined to fail. Customers are left unhappy and the game company realizes a small fraction of the revenue the game is capable of producing. All of us lose.

Don't reinvent, refine! Don't reinvent the game, reinvent the business model! Simulations are not video games. They can't be produced like them. They can't be sold like them. Well they can, but everybody loses when they are.

RR, I think you can calm down as long as you haven't seen anything official from UBI yet.

It's been more than great meeting all you guys!

P.S. Jimbuna - haven't been able to find you after the security check, in the duty free area. Sorry and see you next time

WOW! And I didn't even notice!

It's not nearly so ugly in real life.:rotfl:

You really had a nice meeting

But could someone post the pics indicating who is who? I see lots of people but I hardly can identify two or three
