Wut. Is. Your. Problem?
Asterisk as in "New Hires at Otherside Doug Church On Board!*"* as a creative consultant, not a person of any consequence.
always seeing the glass as half empty rather than half full......
New * Hires * at * Otherside * Doug * Church * On * Board!
A glass is neither half full nor half empty but a domestic accident waiting to happen.//Ohh, it's full of stars!
Also offers coop gameplay!
Those are some eggcelent coops.
See, you both have been infected by my insanity.
No, we're just mocking you.
Asterisk sounds a lot like the name of an eldritch abomination.
Must be tough to go through life always seeing the glass as half empty rather than half full......
You do know that Doug Church works at Valve, currently. To me, it is a huuuge thing that he is involved at all. Look, you have Warren Spector, Paul Neurath, Doug Church, Terry Brosius, et al. And now Doug is consulting. What more do you want?
