runners to teach every one a few manners.
Once again, it's time to explain to everyone WHY our fave game gets release
dates pushed back.
It's called Real Life.
There are barely over 20 people working at FASA, and they are trying very
hard to keep all 5 game lines coming out in as timely a fashion as possible.
Pretty much everyone at FASA is pulling double and triple jobs, something I
have a hell of a LOT of sympathy for.
Most importantly, they are TRYING! They are trying to put books out as
timely as they possibly can. They are trying to put out a book that will be
enjoyable, and well done. They are trying to put GOOD products on the
market. Try and give them a bit of respect for that, will you?
Seems everyone expects the world of others to be 'perfect' "I want my game
fix, and I want it in timely, regular doses. The books have to be released
in the order *I* want, when I want them."
Get a dose of Real Life. Things will get pushed back for whatever reason,
things are published in the order they are for a reason, even if the self
centered idjits don't believe there is a reason.
Of course I'm miffed the books are late, but *I* am quite willing to accept
that things happen. I'll simply make do in the meantime. I have much more
productive things to do with my precious time than complain about something
I have no control over.
Of course once the book comes out, everyone start whining and complaining
about what's in it, and they demand erratas. They wonder why more time
wasn't spent on the book getting things right, why this why that...
9-1-1-w-a-a-h. Here have some cheese. It's nice and sharp to go with that
petulant whine.
Take a chill pill, and the next time you find yourself complaining about
your fave book being late again, or something your cosider more worthy
being published after something you think is a waste of your *precious*
time, go jump off a skyscraper. The ground is a damned unforgivable
deadline. Tell gravity that you think the 14th floor should be between the
7th and 8th.
This thread dies. Take it off list, write it on your bedroom wall, just get
it out of my face. (Don't think I should be telling you that? Someone
obviously should be.)
Am I being sarcastic? Damn straight. Cinderous? Damn straight. I'm sick and
tired of everyone complaining about books being pushed back. It's like
listening to a two year old who knows his uncle has some cool new toys for
him, but he won't get them until his uncle's job brings him by.
Thank you for spoiling a good mood with the same old b*tchfest.
