    Needs more editing. =)

    Wow, yeah, even after editing my spelling sucks...its a skill I never learned.  Trying to teach my son the value in good spelling, but he's to much like his old man.

    Try to sent him to the market to buy a few things you have previously written on a piece of paper, misspelled really bad and with really ugly letters, to the point he would barely understand what he needs to buy. He 'll think like "omg i 'll become like that" ;)

    Que up the speculation, will this acquisition be overall good or bad for Turbine and its current and future MMOs?

  • DrunkWolfDrunkWolf Member RarePosts: 1,701

    Maybe this will give Turbine money needed to make Asherson Call 3.

    As I remembered, this news has been out for least a year ago.

    Your dreaming. This acquisition killed whatever creative vision Turbine had left. Asheron's Call 3? LOL. That will NEVER happen now buddy.

    Probably right. The quote about income streams and tying in new content doesn't lead me to think it will be a creative partnership.

     

    Get ready for Tiny Toons Online?

    I dont like this at all. Old news or new. I just don't like it. I can't stand hollywood studios or anything related to Hollywood.  Or anything spawned in Holywood. In fact I prefer New Zealand over the poo that is Hollywood. I think turbine is a sellout.

    A big corporation taking something over is the end of uniqness of the over takee.

    You gotta be kidding me. Right as I was really getting into LOTRO and DDO. This is ridiculous.
