I'm not quite sure what the <3 means, but I'm hoping it's something good. :D It's good to see you still active and feeding news items to the Fallout/gaming communities, Briosafreak. I've been fairly busy this year, but I do visit this and a couple of other message boards on occasion. I just...

Agreed. Corith, if you haven't already read Burgerbill's article, it's worth a few minutes of your time... http://www.gamertalk.biz/viewtopic.php?p=36254#36254

I have little doubt that Van Buren would more closely resemble the first two Fallout games than will Bethesda's effort. I'd be shocked (though not unhappy) if Bethesda offers a turn-based combat system in Fallout 3 that's anything more than an afterthought to real-time play. That's not to...

Wow! Kudos to Bethesda's artists and programmers. That's impressive.

I have three questions for anyone who may know the answers... 1. How much and when does Bethesda pay Interplay for the license? 2. Does the inclusion of publication rights and the specific title "Fallout 3" in this license agreement not violate Interplay's distribution deal with Vivendi...

I should also clarify that bit about the long and short hedge. If you can buy calls, they must be dirt cheap right now. If you are able to sell short and let your broker float the shares until Interplay either sinks or swims, you could continue to hold your original long position, sell...

I know. I just edited my post to be more clear that I was talking about the FOOL plan and its creator, not about Exitium. :wink:

Yes, watching cash flow is always a good idea. It can help show when companies alter depreciation to boost quarterly numbers as well. That's something that isn't as important in Interplay's case, but it seems to be a favorite trick of capital-heavy, labor-light companies. It sometimes really...

Those who were able to short the stock at $.035 and cover at the $.025 close today made a 40% return on IPLYE today. :wink:

To be fair, Interplay uses accrual accounting on their income statement, so the rent and employee pay should have been accounted for in the expenses, in spite of the fact that they weren't paid. The $900k loss is probably a reasonably accurate picture of how Interplay really performed in the...

Well, at least Mr. Caen hasn't lost his sense of humor. That bit about starting massive online games was guffaw-worthy. :D Interplay's assets at the end of March were down nearly a million dollars from what they were at the end of December, and that's including some receivables from Titus...

Good interview. It was always fun to follow games that Black Isle had in development because of the accessibility of the developers to the fans, even if it was to tell us that our ideas stunk. :D And in the spirit of Puuk's closing remark, does anyone have some good beer recommendations...

Re: Strange fishy smell Check out the oustanding security interests on the Fallout trademark at the USPTO. :wink:

I'm surprised that Mr. Haase is still on board. He, of all people, should know enough to be looking for a new job. Though the SEC hardly blinks an eye at corporate malfeasance, the IRS and California labor board are not as lax in their duties and could bring some unwanted attention to...
