Company News Interplay & Project V13 Cheat Death.... for now

[hal900x]

As terms of the sale, Interplay needed to use the parts of the license they retained by a certain date. They had the rights to do the Fallout MMO, they just dragged ass on it and overshot the deadline. That's the core issue of the lawsuit, and Bethesda is standing on pretty strong ground from what I've read so far. So they may be able to move forward for now due to the injunction being declined, but it might end up being wasted effort if Beth ends up winning.

That's the core issue of the lawsuit

Not really. If that were the main body of the lawsuit or - in fact - just the lawsuit, Bethesda would have already won. However, Bethesda felt the need to drag in perceived contract infractions from Interplay concerning the reissuing of the original Fallout games, to which Interplay pulled in a bunch of perceived infractions from Bethesda, including interference in Interplay's right to sell and illegitimately undoing a sublicensing contract that had been grandfathered in.

Bethesda lied in at least one of their statements, that's a fact. That and this denial of preliminary injunction means Interplay does not have a bad case when it comes to the original Fallout games, and because Bethesda was foolish enough to conflate that issue with the MMO rights, Interplay is not dead set to lose said rights either.

I dunno. If they're smart the parties will come to some kind of settlement, probably including Interplay losing FOOL rights but keeping the rights to republish the original games.

Wimmin can't get enough of him

Har. Look at that shit-eating grin. Gotta love how it's the only genuine one on the photo. Dragon Age: 10/10.

Fuck, I loathe booth babes. The few times I've been to organized game showings (I try to avoid them, not my thing) I have been - at best - annoyed by booth babes, and usually just outright disgusted. If I want to see skin, I'll go to a stripjoint. Peddling flesh to massage recluse game journos' subconsciousnesses into enjoying their environs and hence their games more is low by any standards.

Then again, I hate cheerleaders too.

its the first time he's close to a woman that isn't his mom hence the grin

 

[denizsi]

You mean the perverse twist of his mouth because he started cumming in his pants the moment the babes came close.

I'd hit the one on the right.

 

[Gragt]

Well, these two are definitely mammals.

 

[Jim Cojones]

But he's a polygamist.

I'm newish. Why are we hating this guy? He's a journalist whore who gives glowing reviews of shitty games?

He's polish

We all love Ausir.

Consider it friendly riffing.

Though the aggressiveness of it astounds me. Some o'y'all got issues.

 

[space odyssey]

3 Things;

Why does Stalin have all these photos of Ausir?

Who is shirtless man and why does Stalin also have pictures of him?

Where does the name Ausir come from?

 

[Ausir]

Curious. Where from?

Tolkien.

I'm newish. Why are we hating this guy? He's a journalist whore who gives glowing reviews of shitty games?

I don't even review games, I just post news.

Only the avatar-stealer has issues with Ausir. Probably killed his puppy and now Stalin is all emo about it.
Otherwise Ausir is our favourite news-poster, next to DU, baby arm and Elwro.

 

[hal900x]

To my mine, the really critical issue is whether it's just booth babes, or all Polish women that tend towards brunette and thick. In which case, I know where my next vacation is gonna be. Nothing like a raven-haired chubby to incite a chubby.

 

[Blind Eye]

Ausir adds a lot of substance to many an RPG site, not just this one. Keep up the good work.

They weren't Polish (at least not to my knowledge). It was in London.

Well, I don't really post much news these days - too busy with the wiki and other stuff. Mostly I just send a link to DU or baby arm.

Neither does Elwro, but hey, I nearly put in VD (and I forgot Monolith). Doesn't change anything

They totally were Polish. Britain does not have any hot women.

And you're too much of a newfag to remember Saint Proverbius and Spazmo.

 

[King of Creation]

What ever happened to Spazmo?

 

[St. Toxic]

He fought like a cow. I think he got upset and left after I outed him for being fat.

congratulations on your brand new computer and welcome to the internet

 

[Pablosdog]

Ausir is cooler than you guys because he's actually a productive member of society

 

[MapMan]

LEAVE AUSIR ALONE!!!
