Dude, who was that guy who just walked up and was like, "Hey guys, HERE'S TO RYAN DAVIS!" He was awesome! Hope you had a good time tonight as well secret GB community member!
@marktheslark: If you had to guess who the biggest douche was in this thread, who do you think it would be?
Also, I had a ton of fun and I am glad to meet other Bombcast listeners! Awesome people supporting an awesome community! makes me happy there are more of you than there are of mark the shark :)
Sharing your opinion on a website to people you don't know, who don't care what your opinion is, about something you're not involved in, a little weird to me, but I bet you felt a great rush of superiority! Totally worth it, sun glasses B-)
Hey duders I hope some Atlanta and metro-folks come hang! We want to celebrate RTD the most appropriate way we can think of: old arcade games, pinball, drinks and baller time.
Terrible loss for not only the GB crew, community, and gaming journalism, but also for humanity. Only ever met Ryan once in person, randomly walking the show floor at pax and he was super friendly and outgoing, and you could tell he cared for and appriciated that supported him and the rest of GB.
The issue with Shadow Complex was that the game loosely tied into a universe developed by Orson Scott Card, the connection was so loose in fact that it was almost irrelevant. The problem arose when it came out that Orson Scott Card was giving a good portion of his profits on any endeavor to anti-gay foundation and groups. This supposedly included people like the god hates fags group who will protest at funerals of aids victims regardless of their sexual orientation and even now the funerals of soldiers.
Chair is criticized for involving Orson Scott Card on projects where the need of his involvement is questionable. Again Shadow Complex was about a militia group trying to over throw America. Chair tied the game's premise to a book Card hard written by using the militia from the book's name, but outside of that there is really no connection. People who take issue with Chair feel that Chair is finding any reason to involve Orson Scott Card in projects and thus providing him with money, which in turn he uses to help extremist groups.
That's why there is an issue, but seriously.... Shadow Complex was a great game....
