Yeah, my whole team and a bunch of others.... :icon22: I've been in the industry for 10 years and this is the first time it's ever happened to me so I guess my number had to get called sometime.... Can't wait for Gearbox, though! You pig.

didn't even know a new one was to come, didn't care much for the first one.
So, you in the programming team, texture, sales, sounds etc?
good luck with the new job btw, I re-start my old job come monday...after being laid off for over a couple months. Gotta love that un-employment check every other week. :icon26:

Try to make it be the first BiA that doesn't suck pig nuts.

I played one of the BiA series, got about halfway through and quit because the AI on my team sucked ass and other parts were equally irritating.

Nah, it will be good now that you're there. Besides, you can use our critiques to fix any problems.

I was just thinking about this game yesterday. I owned it on 3DO, but I was too young to really appreciate it back then, though I did really enjoy the cyber-noire feeling. One of the darkest games I've ever played, even to this day.
I wish I could get my hands on a DOS copy. That and Quarantine as well ........

gl with the new job
in related news, I just got a raise, and one of our main local competitors just fired all their employees (8-10 people), and are now down to only their original founders (4 people I think)
good times

well maybe you should be on the lookout, it's fair to say they have changed their business plan or have taken the plunge to start fresh with new employees/ideas... scared?
