According to Destructoid, there are now 38 Infinity Ward employees suing Activision. Read the story at Destructoid here: http://www.destructoid.com/group-of-38-infinity-ward-employees-sues-activision-172209.phtml Also, follow the updates at G4, which Destructoid mentions as the source: http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/704273/Infinity-Ward-Employee-Group-Files-Lawsuit-Against-Activision-Over-Unpaid-Royalties-Alleges-Devs-Held-Hostage.html Apparently, the lead devs weren't the only ones getting the shaft from Activision. Others were apparently also not getting their bonuses as well, which is what prompted the suit. So, this leads me to believe that not only is Activision in a shitton of touble if they prove it, but also that they're far worse than EA (which was debatable until now).

And you would be correct! We're live right now on ustream, go to http://www.thasauce.net/media to listen in, and ETG via IRC to chat in #thasauce!

Epic. Also, as long as Stevo bets on the winner, we won't have to break his legs. And by we, I mean the rest of the OCAD crew, as I will be elsewhere, with a valid alibi.

HOLY CRAP! IT'S ROB SAUNDERS! How long have you been back sir? Have not seen you on IRC or OCR in ages. I should probably pay attention more. Oh yeah, for you guys who are wanting to download episodes of OCAD, I have the full compliment of episodes on my web server so that they're available. Please feel free to leech: http://www.williammichael.net/ocad/episodes

"Your doom will RAIN DOOOOWN!" ~ Annihilation of Monsteropolis, The Megas. Yeah, that line says it all. Bring an umbrella.

I just finished reading Blackest Night...oh my god, SO GOOD... Also, I've got Brightest Day, plus all of it's associated comics set up on my list over at the local comic shop. I can't wait for pay day...

Awesome! This project is going to kick some serious tail. I'm looking forward to seeing it brought to fruition!

Man, this takes me so far back. Back to a time when I was a kid and all we had was vinyl and tapes. And we were just getting out of the 8-track phase of audio listening. This is epic sir, quite epic!

Hey everyone, just wanted to continue the effort to bump this thread, and remind everyone that if you haven't submitted a WIP for Maverick Rising, to please do so by this coming Friday. It's the first deadline, and we'd like to get an idea where you're at with your work! Thanks!

What an interesting and well thought out project this is. I'm looking forward to hearing the results.

...you're gonna diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!!!!! Okay, maybe not, but some GNR right now sounds good. Also what Bahamut and Gollgagh said.

Happy birthday Mr. Man, Mr. Snapple Man. And many more good stuffs for you!

Absolutely epic! Congratulations zircon and sgx!!!

I like that rotation a lot. A lot of variety. Now some might not like Double Cross but more so 2Fort, so I maybe there should be a list of monthly rotation maps which come in every other month, or every other week as is seen fit. Playing 2Fort once in a while isn't bad. Every single rotation though, that's madness. I say go for it.

If it's as good as it looks from that trailer, I'll gladly go see it opening day.

This makes me sad, I really liked his music.

DKC!!!! I can't wait, I'm excited!

Sephfire? Who's that? Sum n00b? Naaaaaah, much love man, happy birthday!

This doesn't really bode too well for anyone involved with Activision. As the saying goes, "shit runs downstream". You can expect anything that happens to Activision will impact the rest of the units it currently has under it. Be wary.

If what's in their contract is true, and Activision is found guilty of firing them under false pretenses, those devs could end up a boat load richer. I really hate seeing things like this happen. I'm sure there's another side to the story yet, but until that becomes available for all of us to read, anything we say about what's happening one way or another is just based on what's out there. I always figured though that if any game company did something like this, it would end up being EA after that shitstorm from a few years ago, I figured they hadn't quite hit bottom of the barrel yet. I stand corrected on that.

I've played some, it's an awesome game. If you haven't tried it out yet, you should! It's a lot of fun, and as someone who's had plenty of time logged in multiple TCGs (sometimes 2 or 3 at once) it was intuitive for me. The RTS part of the game is simple and elegant, and the graphics are top notch. You guys have got to get in on this!

zircon, talk to me via Facebook. I have a proposition for you. Scratch that, message incoming.

Actually, I wanted to address things like these in the group. I think there are specific things that people want to accomplish in their own way, with their own means and instruments and what not. And each of us brings something to the table that others would like to learn. That said, I'm going to make the group, and set up some discussion within it, and get the ball rolling. There's so many sites and technical things we can look at and use that we might end up going overboard if we're not careful. I want to take things one step at a time, as it's easier that way, and that we don't end up disbanding the group after a certain amount of time. I will have the group up by tomorrow as I'm starting to wear out for the night. Until then, rest easy and know that all will be addressed soon enough.

Well, I guess that's out. Back to learning on my own.

Berklee Online is pretty much just as awesome as going to actual Berklee, except well, it's online and you can do it from anywhere. I've thought about taking classes through them, but I was never really sure if I could make the cut, or if there were any pre-requisites to taking courses at the online school. I actually have questions about it myself, maybe some current students (hint hint), could help out please! Primarily I just wanted to know if I had to have a music background just to enroll, or if I could enroll as an absolute beginner to take their theory courses, or their guitar course.
