In awe of the Frog

December 1, 2008 5:19:45 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

It had to happen..

 

The Frogboy appreciation society!

 

Which other boss of a games company is an active poster on game forums, always appears with the information when you want or need it, and runs a company producing and publishing great games and alike with no anti-customer DRM or alike, and also happens to be a great AI programmer.

 

Oh and he's giving us frequent journals on a game thats not out for over a year.

 

Not forgetting the rest of SD of course...

Not to take away from either Frogboy or any of the great Budweiser frogs, but Lord British was Da Man in his day, too.  How many game company CEO's  do you know have flown to space?   The guy lives in a castle.

All members of the Frogboy fan club should always put the following icon in all their posts:

As a simple show of devotion.

Well we could also make this an orthodox religion: Anybody who don´t obey the mighty frog is heretic and will be punished.

 

All hail the frog

He's also quit the industry to presumably further persue his astronaut interests.  His father was also an astronaut so it explains some things.  The guy's really cool, but a bit eccentric... which in the industry, I suppose just makes him that much cooler.

Still, it speaks volumes about his hubris to always have his in-game avatar as the king/general with a name like Lord/General British.

Or maybe I'm just old fashioned...

He is very slow about responding to personal things. I sent him a PM over a year and an email the year before that and just two weeks another email at his request no less and still nothing. A busy man he is for sure and it is all about prioritization effective time management. So I would not get my hopes up for a response anytime soon.

And there's STILL no fan group on facebook!? WTF!? I'd add the guy as a friend, if I had the slightest hope of him accepting my friend request

Double-post. Also, was it necessary to make a whole new thread for basicly the same purpose as this one?

Blargh!

Sure it was - people might not read this thread.

Also - note the time difference...

And you needed to make your post complaining about my posts larger then my two by quoting them???

What's with the time difference? Does a thread automaticly gain validation because it's more than 48 hours since the inception of the mother-thread?

No, but at least I kept it in the relevant thread. We can't go around creating threads for every minor deviating argument that arises in a thread!

That'd be MADNESS!
