4D Rulers Refunding Investments

This is better than an episode of I Love Lucy. We should take bets on what 'crazy mixed up scheme' those lovable misfits at 4D get themselves into next.

Upcoming ShackNews Posts:
-The 4D design team lock themselves in the freezer and remember all the fun times from the past year in funny 3 minute flashbacks.

-The Beta version is ready for release, but the DVD gets switched with a copy of Jeff's wedding video. Will he be able to stop the upload in time?

-Lisa overhears Bob raving about the new 'models'. She thinks he's cheating on her with supermodels only to find out he was talking about 3D models.

- The team raises enough money to complete the game, but after a wild night in Vegas, Jack bets it all on a roll of the dice in a crap game

-The 4D team finds themselves competing against EA, THQ, and Blizzard in the annual 'Developer Awards'. After a night of nerves and hijinks , they realize the most important part of gaming, is love.

Steam is the answer.

I find this post by the same guy ironic:

My brother Rick didn't know anything until I got him into games and taught him about everything he knows... he's now lead designer at 3D Realms.

No shit, he wasn't signing contracts detailing the investments and it became a huge liability issue. This is shocking. I like Joel, he's a good guy, but this isn't helping his cause.

I kinda saw this coming. ;)

What kind of a company is this? They make shitty ass games, beg for money from their "fans" to make more shitty ass games, and don't seem to have a clue about anything they're doing during it all.

did they at least used it to play on the stock market, maybe some google stocks, make some profit, and return the money?

............hummm maybe not

Joel needs to visit the Paxil factory.
