Consolidation isn't new, though... it was a major factor in our rush to form the Gathering and place a stake in the ground to ensure that there is a solid path for developers who are willing to stay independent and build their own companies on their own terms.

To think that we as a publisher (i.e. people who have never actually MADE a game) can have a realistic impact on a project that a team of experts is slaving away on full time for 2 years is a bit arrogant.

RUNE is another one I'm really looking forward to.

Warren Spector is amazing, and his team is as good as any in the business. Shame to see all the revenues from their game entangled with all the madness of the Dallas office.

I do NOT think that PC gaming is over... it will always be the choice of the gaming enthusiast who is willing to put in the extra effort for a richer, more rewarding experience.

Ignorance breeds fear.

Being a starving company isn't fun for anyone. Most that go away need to go away... but certainly not all.

Seems like it's going to be really hard to make money at it, and, therefore, really hard to get any great games done. Much like Flash games, the audience is huge, but the content isn't likely to be good enough to have people pay for it.

I had no idea until I joined the games industry and met some of the power players, particularly those running large public companies, that much of this world is run by complete clowns.

So I guess the complete lack of any new developments is what struck me. That and the fact that much of the good we had done for the artists' side of the industry with G.O.D. had been just as quickly undone by the big boys.

All we do is sign great teams, and stay out of the way. The rest will take care of itself.

KISS Psycho Circus is my current favorite. I'm not ashamed to say that I prefer the mindless fun of blasting hordes of creatures to exploration or adventure games.

I think that that multiplatform development is what's on the mind of most high-end PC developers now... this is really the first time in the industry's history that we've had console machines that can handle all that PC developers can deliver.

Our developers will make great games for whatever high-end platforms exist.

I'm from Louisiana and live in Texas now.

Summer is very precious.

One learns to itch where one can scratch.

Economy is the method by which we prepare today to afford the improvements of tomorrow.

Any concept of biology is not only sterile and profitless it is distorted and untrue if it puts its primary focus on unnatural conditions rather than on those vast forces not of mans making that shape and channel the nature and direction of life.

I know I have this kind of teaching element in me but I dont want to become a teacher of theater because that would formalize something that Id much rather keep casual.

I love folk; that's a big part of my background.

Whatever I have come to offer, I have come to offer and it may or may not be connected to anything that has happened in the past.

To witness miracles unfold in your experience, count your blessings and be thankful. Perceived small blessings accumulate to be the most powerful.

I appreciate when people enjoy my work, but I don't like being recognized in public.

Victory is paid for in sweat, courage and preparation.

The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different color a different voice.

The only people that have ever fought ISIS in Syria is not the regime; it is the Free Syrian Army.

As a British rider, it's a privilege to be able to compete on home roads. The British public have really taken to cycling, and you can see that when the race goes through different towns: the community really gets behind it.

Two things make the women unforgettable, their tears and their perfume.

Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.

I look for roles where I can do justice, show people a side of Bollywood they haven't seen before.

If you read the poets of the 19th century in Latin America, you would see that Havana or Mexico City or Buenos Aires are incredibly modern and global cities that they were not. And eventually they became real, and they became real because people read these books and tried to live in a better world.

One is never as unhappy as one thinks, nor as happy as one had hoped to be.

Less is more. I truly believe in buying a few pieces with better construction.

I haven't played Hedda Gabler yet, but maybe if I did I might find the funny bits.

Music was the first art form I ever had.

I think food and education will help stem the poverty of the young people who are being drawn into terrorism every day.

Passion isn't something that lives way up in the sky, in abstract dreams and hopes. It lives at ground level, in the specific details of what you're actually doing every day.

To remove blood stains from your conscience try frozen margaritas.
