There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

Reminds me of my experience with a lame Kin who wasn't using his heal (Transfusion), our only heal on the team.

(seconds from Team Wipe...)

Me: [lame Kin], spam Transfusion please!!!
Blaster: Thanks but I'll pass, I've eaten the stuff, that's as close as I wanna get to injecting into my body.

I laughed for about 20 minutes picturing a spam transfusion.

I normally say something like: "Hold down your left control button please. Now left click on your transfusion power. Got it? There. Now you'll heal melee and take away their regeneration.

Anyways, having now said the sensible thing, now for that mental image!

I see a farmyard of NOTHING but Kinetic Pigs, threatening anybody who gets close with Spam Transfusions! Their motto?

True story: I once passed a nice cafe in Japan that was advertising a spam dish as the special of the day...

Spam is a very popular foodstuff in Hawaii from what I understand. I won't say a delicacy, but it's probably close.

Heard ingame that BAB's and a bunch of others were let go last Thursday.

Any official announcement?

Cheers

There was a sort of generic announcement that some staff were let go. At the time some folks on the forums got bent out of shape because it seemed quite impersonal. Others with more experience in corporate HR pointed out that this is quite typical and in fact a company can quickly get into legal hot water by publicly making any comment on a departing employee, even if it's praise.

BAB's Linkedin page did confirm that he's no longer with Paragon Studios, but that's about the only hard data we have. For a brief time his status appeared to show that he was back with Cryptic, but that was a Linkedin bug. As far as we all know, he's not back with Cryptic.

It's not like he went and treated it as a "just made" thread like most necroposters do.

Not really. Someone is still forced to sift through a page or so of out of date posts to realize what the new question/information is. Someone's intent has nothing to do with the necroposting rule, it has to do with clarity of conversation.

A simple search would have shown him this thread

Back Alley Brawler Gone?

which is only two weeks old and has all the current information we have on the subject.

I find it funny when someone whose known for his own threads deleted or locked tries to make fun of other people.

But that thread doesn't have all the great speculation posing as fact in it.
