nice to see the one sided stories still alive, eh
you want some offhanded comments ... some developers said they'd have thier software done to beta point within the time that they wanted the money, yet 'producers' saw nothing by screenshots and very early alphas. And when said 'producer' tried to do the developers a favour stuck his neck out with a publisher for them just to have the company turn around and get all snitty about it without a word for what... 3weeks!
whats its oki to swindle a mate who isn't going to payup unless he sees results but as soon as it is an established company you have to deal with you run?
you wanna attack me then do it directly, but if your going to do it them damn'd well do it rather than hiding behind comments like that - all i did was try to make a bad situation better for you, i hear nothing from you with the beta, i hear nothing from the publisher after a few days ... i'm not going to put down my hard earnt cash on something that i was being kept in the dark about.
i thought i was financing one project i never saw any complete before you moved onto the next.
you wanna jerk me around with things then fine, you wanna get snitty about it leave it to a damn Ricki Lake show oki!
this is the exact BS i'm sick of hearing across the board ...
hear "ohh Raven hasn't done this..." or "this person who i'm not going to name but i'm gonna talk about in a way that its kinda obvious that its this person but because i don't name them you can't like be pissed at me for it" or "oh Raven wants to do this so lets see how many ways we can pick what he's doing apart"
tell ya what, ya'll come here and be on the recieveing end of this BS for once - you help someone out to the point where you end up doing thier project and without realising it you are the ONLY one doing the project.
or how about having people who say they'll help you and and right at the last minute bail with alot of the stuff you need leaving you with a deadline close and NOTHING to show for it.
Or how about having people agree to help you with something then just disappear from the face of the planet, leaving you to learn everything yourself and when they do finally get back they're like "oki so what can i help you with today?"
or some other BS from all of ya'll who quite frankly i hope ya'll like being stuck in your little ruts relying on others to get what you need, going no where and doing nothing.
and when i get into work on monday have a real desk job again, i think i'm gonna finally be happy again to be away from such a bunch of people who don't feel better unless thier being jerks or playing you behind your back or any other bull ... probably smug and all because you sit there thinking your right and Raven is wrong oh what a flipping glorius day, or because you've been able to zing me once again because ya don't really have lives so you hunt around on the internet trying to find proof of how next to show up Raven and make yourself look like some pathetic vindicitive person which doesn't matter because your right about something or atleast thats what the peice of paper says that you have infront of you, never actually realising that nothing has to do with being right or wrong - sit there thinking you have nothing new to learn, just that you need to teach always eh?
not even considering the possibility that maybe you could be wrong about something just once in your life or maybe the fact that there is no right or wrong in the information presented just the right and wrong of you present yourself.
proud moment for every internet junkie i suppose to find something in thier search engines that can act as kindling in a flamewar that they know thier starting but when the flames die down they'll look like the victor cause they have the paper that says thier right.
for a good 3minutes of gloating about it, not actually learning a thing other than how you can take more selective information to the point of any multimedia to stop from the learning experience and start on the fact of just a "i'm right, your wrong." state of mind.

i'm sure somewhere that this forum is still just as pleasent ans friendly as it was before Christmas. maybe next time i'm here someone can actually point out where, cause i must've missed it.
