I recent word in from Stordarth and a discussion between myself, Stordarth, and AlmightyG, has led us into the very final stages before the game release.  This was posted on the Bowie Online forums just today, and I thought I'd pass the word around as soon as I could.

That's all for now.


Some content deleted because it was directed at specific members of our staff.  

We're reaching the very peek of development now, and this area of work will probably be the hardest we've had in all the time we've been working on the project.  I hope to update again very soon, only this time, with a link to a client download.

See you all soon.

I can't see anymore.  That pic has the energy of the sun compacted into my monitor...

I dunno, once we had gotten a background that reminded me of strawberry ice cream with bananas on top, I decided it was best to disappear for a while.

I try to distance myself from foods that can be associated with a Penis...although foods that remind me of a Vagina scare the crap out of me

wtf kind of foods are you eating?

Yeah, wtf?  Penis, yeah, but I've never seen any vaginal...uh, foods of any kind...

*dies laughing*

Sup, losers.  Lay's suck actually, I prefer Pringles.  Lmao...

Yeah, Pringles pwn.  But then again, I'll eat any kind of potatoe chips...any kind...*eats*

I have one quick question before I get too far into the game (I'm at chapter 6 right now).

Will there be a battle that will require ALL of the characters that have joined my team to participate? No specifics please, I dont want to spoil the storyline.

No, 12 character's maximum.  That never changes.

*cough* DARK DRAGON *cough*

Um...wow oldness?

Indeed, the oldness is blinding.

Not dead, but not in progress at the moment either.  I'll go back and get it started some day.

The belly button!

Yeah!  The belly button...!

*ahem*

...why, were all you sick minded people thinking something else?

It reminds me of strawberry ice cream with bananas (icons on the bottom of the forum)

Well, I just had a girl tell me that she wouldn't go out with me, because I was ugly.
She basically said, "I love your personality, but there's this other guy that's better looking than you, so I don't like you."
People are shallow.
Like a puddle.
I fell like an intellectual ocean, surrounded by tiny tidepools.  They sustain themselves solely on my excess, yet try vainly to be seperate entities, and yet will never probe the depths as I can.
I wish I could just find one person who actually cared about me based exclusively on my ability to carry a conversation that has nothing to do with TV or clothes.  It's like my intellect and repetoire just don't matter, simply because I'm not Fabio.  We intelligent people are the only reason the world is as advanced as it is, yet we're still treated like scum.
I hate people.

Maybve the fact that you wear a blue robe and hide your face under a giant pointy hat, and have giant, oval shaped, shining yellow eyes turned her off.

Just trying to make you understand...

Go to TSS and download...it's quite fun for just a demo.

That's pretty nasty and disturbing...

That's what I like about this place.
