Beware the Forest's Mushrooms

I am excited for this one. I live in Rhode Island and this is still on the news constantly. Its pretty hilarious, with everyone trying to blame each other. I still remember when the game was announced and RI was bragging about how we had CURT SCHILLING's video game company. The whole thing keeps me happy in the morning with my cereal.

I hope Rhode Island makes a sequel.

:smith::hf::smith: sup Rhode Island buddy

I touched on this in the Sandcastle, but the whole story behind the collapse of that studio infuriates me to no end. The temerity, the waste, the smugness, the hypocrisy, and the honest human cost to everyone who worked on this game except for the people who deserved it.

In the past, I've considered making a short video series to catalog the story behind it, but I never had time or energy. But I recently suddenly gained a lot of free time... maybe I will.

Honestly that sounds a lot like Chaffee took advantage to deliberately torpedo the company.

That's what Schilling would say. OR maybe, just maybe Chafee was protecting his state against incurring even more debt by deciding it was time to cut our collective losses.

In related news, I just started doing some research for posts about the 38 Studios story, and oh my god, it is making me so drat angry. If I don't post it for a while, it's because I had a heart attack and I don't own a laptop from which to post from the ICU.
