Please make a event that causes the entire community to go fez-crazy, and refuse to wear any hat that is not fez, and eventually the fez madness reaches the point where they will lynch anyone who shows up who adorns their cranium with anything but a fez.

My tentative eventual plan is that there will be a Hat that is in Fashion. People who care about Fashion will demand and crave the current Hat, whereas last year's hat is totally unfashionable and it will negatively affect the hat-savvy. One must keep up with the times, you know.

That said, this is so far down the list of TODOs it's not even funny.

Pffft I think the much better actor for the role was Johnny De-:fuckoff: Just kidding, though Wilder's best comedic work was Young Frankenstien IMO. :allears:

Am I the only one who found that movie somewhat disturbing as a kid? Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, that is.

I sent you an email, but I'm not sure I got your first name right. If you didn't get an email from my username at a major email provider, then something has gone terribly wrong.

I'm not sure if that makes me better or worse for this.

Heh. I wish it was that exciting. Where we are right now with the pre-alpha - before The Magnificent Seven even get a shot at it - is that people will play the game and then, suddenly, everybody will just stop working, starve to death, and die.

Not every bug is glamorous. The reality of game development is that while we post the silly bugs, the day-to-day of it is very much "Hey, people don't know when trees are being chopped down - we need to add visual feedback!", "Hey, the game runs at 2FPS on the Intel HD3000", and "Hey, everybody suddenly just starves to death and it isn't actually funny."

I'm such a downer, aren't I.
