"I'll expand a little bit on the previous statement.

We are not being excessively rushed to finish the projects we are working on. I know that was a fear among some fans. I think Feargus, the producers, and all of the leads believe that we are working on reasonable schedules.

The circumstances that prevent us from announcing our projects are currently completely out of our control. We are just developers. We are working at a brisk pace and, while we are watching the sky, I believe that most of us do not expect it to fall.

I know that, given Interplay's current situation, a lot of people expect the company to fold and/or for BIS employees to break and run. I think most of us would rather lock on bayonets and keep marching forward."

Is it me or is he speaking like a WWI soldier just before beeing sent to no man`s land? And you know what happened to them, right? :-(
 
Hi ho, hi ho, It's off to death we go...

They're using bayonets while they're being bombed from above by B-52s.

Moo..... Moo.... I'm an Interplay Cow. (Ready to be milked with a Fallout style MMORPG with aliens!)
 
More like a soldier from an earlier war. I don't think the people from WWI were the marching type (more like running franticly while being shot at by people with automatic weapons), but you're right, the post isn't too reassuring.

Remember the useless Lt. in Aliens?

Why do I think of Feargus...

...and then even moreso, Herve Caen, the guy who couldn't find his ass with both hands in his back pockets, who I hear is now in charge of Interplay effectivly since Interplay is sucking from Titus the Fox's nipples.
 
You`re right, Corporal Punishment.

And how about this:

"I want to stay at Black Isle and make RPGs with the people here. I do not want to go to Ion Storm, or Ensemble, or BioWare. While I would not mind working at those companies, I would like it much less than working at Black Isle. While I could possibly make more money and have better job security working at those companies, the difference in money is not worth the difference in the type of games that they make.

I have been frustrated in the past with my job. I have considered leaving. At one point, I almost did leave. Eventually, I decided that leaving the company that was responsible for my introduction to CRPGs was more like suicide than staying with it in a time of great difficulty and potential failure. If you don't understand, believe, or agree with the motivation I have presented, that's unfortunate. This is what I am trying to save. Black Isle."

The entire post itself is moving, and i`m not beeing sarcastic.
But this particular part sounded like an Al-Qaeda fighter 5 minutes before the daysies were droped: "yes, i could be working in mcdonalds, or maybe in a camel caravan, but this is what i like to do *bummmmm*".
