I'll tell you, Tankhead that Michael, Tom and David surprise me every day now. Paul Vebber, Jim Faletti, a few other game testers and I are working at a frantic pace to keep up with this terrible trio. They are indeed on a roll!
Lemme tell you a story . Old folks love to tell stories !
David calls me long distance from New York, this enterpreneur in the gaming world, and he sounds like a kid with a new toy.
We talk about the game, or about Matrix for a few moments...then suddenly there is silence on the other end, except for the sound of SPWAW in the background. I wait...nothing .
"David? David, are you there?" Then I hear the boom of a cannon! Next I hear David, not talking to me, but saying loudly, "Nobody dents my Tigers!"
Now remember, this is long distance! Such is the effect the game has on us.
The entire team has given up nights of sleep, so enthused with the TCP/IP online feature. Somebody somewhere is fighting almost every night.
I get a letter from Paul Vebber. "Anyone up for a fight tonight? I haven't fought in four days. I got the shakes."
So this is an adventure for all of us here. And of course, in my house, well you can imagine! Muffled sounds of gunfire seep through the walls out into the streets.
"Yeah, he's playing that game again!" mutters a neighbor. Beth comes in, sighs, walks back downstairs. What a good, patient woman she is.
And the war goes on!...Wild Bill
