    Does anyone want to try to buy Sierra and Blizzard with me and about 2 billion other concerned gamers?

    For only a few bucks each, and about 2 billion other people, we could make this happen!

    Maybe we could make them make Half-Life 2, Star Craft 2, and the Babylon 5 game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, it was annoying that they canned the B5 game. I really like B5.

    However, I think the fact that the board of directors would be 2 billion in number would suck, kind of, since nothing would ever get done.

    Sega's doing just peachy. Their money has always been in games (especially arcade machines - you'll notice if you go to one that there are a LOT of Sega games there), but their consoles just stopped being popular or cost-efficient, so they dropped them. Probably a smart business move on their part. And then there's Microsoft, which needs no explanation.

    Vivendi is a company most people have never heard of, kinda like News Corporation. However, it's one of the largest conglomerates in the world, the sort of company that owns plenty of companies you HAVE heard of. If they sell off their stuff, odds are some other conglomeration will step in... or Microsoft planning to start its own (they make tons of money, but MS only has a few holdings compared to Viacom, Vivendi, News Corp, AOL/Time Warner, and others).

    But MS' Head Director (Or whatever you would call Bill Gates) is one of the most (if not the most) rich person in the world. Moneywise, that is.

    I heard he has over 10 bodyguards all day long. His children have at least 5 all the time as well.

    Don't tell anyone, but I plan to use the sewer systems, and then pop up through the sink drain. It'll work, I know it, it works all the time on T.V. :D

    Post, Etalis, post post POST!

    Nbrosz, why did you post all that stuff about gamenut? I'm confused. Why do you have such a revolting sig?

    Silence, succubus! Tempt me not with thy evil ways!

    Why must you leave it activated in every one-line-long post you make?

    That stuff about gamenut is a joke. I made a forum, and the rank avatars are smilies. Custom avatars can be put underneath the rank avatars. That was his rank about an hour ago. It deal with the idea of going through the sewers and sneaking into a building through the bathroom.

    You think my sig is revolting? I thought it was funny! :D
    Don't look at it, then.

    Etalis, yup, I have a gun, too! Want to have a duel? :grin:
    It comes with 1500 posts, you know, and I have that many and more! Why complain? Accept it!

    I wouldn't say it if I didn't think it. (I would use the barf smilie, but I think that it's really nasty so I won't.) It's kind of hard to ignore, being the size that it is.

    Yep! Dontcha just LOVE it? :D

    Aww, come on! Don't complain! I could make it much more annoying.

    Besides, what is revolting about it? Am I announcing your love of nude a little too loud? :p

    Yes, because I soooo adore the sexy look of blotchy, multi-colored fake ham. :roll:

    Because it's fucking gross, that's why!

    Is it just me, or has nbrosz suddenly become unnecessarily obnoxious?

    I mean...more than usual?

    No, you're not the only one to notice it.

    I think he's attempting (key word: attempting) to be funny.
