He has plenty of money, remember?

I've never seen the desire to impress people backfire so badly.

Who said I want to start a company? Who said I was even going to release
the game at all? And why would I need infrastructure, hardware,
marketing, insurance, lawyers, and support staff if I'm not gunna
release the game? Maybe I'll only release it to my friends? Have you
ever thought of that? I'v never seen someones attempt to make me feel or
look stupid backfire so badly.

P.S. If your gunna quote, do it write. I said I have plenty of money for
things particular things. I didn't say I was rich.

Wait . . . I thought Joe said something about "massively multiplayer".

I need to think about how you can have that without, y'know, massively
multi players.

They always say that when life gives you lemons you should make lemonade.
I always wonder -- isn't the lemonade going to suck if life doesn't give
you any sugar?
