Lol... and I thought I was a pessimist. :wink:

 

[Brett Thornton]

I'd like to suggest that all simbin employees that do not work in marketing do this:

Go the marketing cubicle, and beat those clowns for taking $ out of their pockets.

I could make a bullet list of how bad these guys are, but why bother.

Disclaimer: After picturing a furball of scratching, and crying, I withdraw the beating idea.

Almost ready...no way

[Mike Bell]

wicked - the staggared start thing will be great

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Damn, first i start to make a hillclimb, then SimBin announces that they will do it. Then i do a staggered start on it and SimBin once again steals my ideas... I'll start officially using a tinfoil hat from now on..

 

[Jay Ekkel]

Tinfoil will not cut it, Kennet

jokes aside, progress is being made, as with anything in development its not only progress we make. The test team and QA keep finding stuff that we need to look into, so its baby steps at the moment. They are doing a great job on it, they make my life difficult

As said on our own forums, MP beta testing is taking place and it is safe to assume i will find a thick report of good and bad results afterwards...

I think, Simbin already finished Retro pack...and doing NOISE MARKETING.
==== JUST NOISE MARKETING ====

and more... several pack ahead, just waiting when it is the best moment to release series,
before a brand new physical engine mounted game released.
(birds flying like in RBR....and more effects...ETC )

So, you will have a chance to road-kill the birds shiit on your window. ^.,^v

 

[UMC 22]

I fail to see why they would do that. They have already released four other expansions over the last few weeks. They announced the Retro pack but postponed it due to bugs... you don't lie about that kind of thing because people get angry about delays. Annoying your customers as part of a marketing ploy? I don't think so.

If you follow them on RaceRoom you would know that they are currently beta testing certain features.

 

[mcwood]

uhm...'you don't lie about that kind of thing because people get angry about delays. Annoying your customers as part of a marketing ploy? I don't think so.'

are you angry at me?...for what?!!
I said ' i think...not i say truth...' right?!
however i correct "you will have a chance to road-kill the birds shiit on your window -> you may have a chance to road-kill the birds shiit on your window."

I love simbin and
me also one of person looking foward to get Retro Pack~! ^.,^;;

 

[UMC 22]

are you angry at me?...for what?!!

I'm not angry with you. Please re-read the post, and stop mis-spelling curses to bypass the profanity filter while you're at it.
