I think it is funny that I just recieved the escapist news letter, on my iPhone, read the article on my iPhone and am now commenting on my iPhone. Congrats escapists you captivated my eye balls for a good 20 min or so. | |
As a former employee of The 3DO Company, my opinion of Trip is, shall we say, colored by the experience. As such, I fully expected Digital Chocolate to fall flat on its face. So I must extend similarly colored admiration for the man for pulling it off. Even in the 2002-2003 timeframe, the body-count for "mobile entertainment" companies was fairly high, and the tech at that time was utter sh*t with a side of chips. But Trip can be very single-minded when he wants to be, and in this case it appears to have paid off. As Jon Stewart might say...... [odd hand gesture....] Kudos. | |
