Well he did a little bit to Gamespot, here's some of the new stuff in that "news" bit:<blockquote>So what's next for Sawyer? Although there was some speculation that he would join other former Black Isle workers at Obsidian Entertainment, the designer told GameSpot he's taking some time off from the RPG industry. "I've been trying to work on hardcore PC RPGs for the past three years and it just hasn't been panning out," he said. "I need to try something else for the next few years before I dive back in."

So what is that next something? Sawyer demurred with one of the strangest responses on record: "Imagine a basketball player and a shoe salesman getting together to go on the road with [a] vaudeville show and you should have a good idea of the 'what' factor involved." Sawyer may have lost his job, but at least he hasn't lost his sense of humor. </blockquote>Erm, say what ?!

Edit: He cleared the meaning of that last statement on the Something Awful gaming forum:
<blockquote>that was taken a little out of context. the sentences before suggested that some people would be surprised and/or confused by where i'm going. i wasn't trying to describe what i would be working on, just that it's probably something that people wouln't expect.

also it was an excuse for me to type "what" as a shout-out to my FYAD homies.</blockquote>
 
He's saying imagine if Michael Jordan (or rather, a well-known player who maybe wasn't so good but who's been trying hard to make a break in the game) popped up and said, "fuck this, I'm going to be a shoe salesman". Everyone would be like "Yo, what the fuck?" and stuff. Really, really, really surprised.

The "what" factor.

... and I mean let's face it, Jefferson get's shat on and now Fallout 3 is potentially shat on. That's a big incentive to move right there.
 
a basketball player could become a shoe salesman. Isn't wearing a certain shoe make and getting paid for it EARNING BIG BUCKS or some shit.

damn je and his crasy papa cains fruit basketball playing metaphors.
 
the "famous player" is....

JOHN ROMERO

Sawyer is going to Midway to work for Romero.

I hate this really... as much as I admire the life story of John Romero and some of the games he's made... there is no excuse for this...


Fallout 3: to be or not to be?
 
lol, "the player" just told me.

I'd appreciate if you guys don't post anything about it on the front page though, until they actually announce it. which should be soon, probably as soon as they announce the game they're working on.

I'm not going to say anything else right now though. :)
 
What are you talking about? We`ve been making "Josh is going to make Romero his bitch" jokes for days now :D

Seriously, just check dac.

Edit: we just didn`t put it on the news since he hasn`t confirmed or denied it.
 
oh, lol didn't know that, haven't been on the forums a lot lately, so since I haven't seen anything I thought I'd come in and post something :D
 
IF I was an Interplay spy I would most certainly not say anything... :D

oh and that font on my site is called "Base 02" I think.
 
heh heh. Interplay spy. I like that one. Briareus is always popping his big bulbous head in here. That's about as much of an Interplay spy as you can get. :mrgreen:
