This is a copy of an email I received today. I've changed the names, just in case someone might actually know these people.
Is it possible for my son John, a senior at the High School in Oak Harbor, WA to spend 2 weeks with your company doing his senior project? His project consists of: looking into game marketing, finding out the steps involved in creating a successful game, and looking into the programming, animating, audio technology and testing involved in creating a computer game. John's project is scheduled to take place from May 17 - 28. Thanks for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Do you know these people, an why have you put your name in place of the son?
-
LOL, cause I changed the names, and that was the easiest to use =D. No, I don't know them. BTW, I replaced the mom's name with my mom's name as well Razz . I also replaced the location with my home town.
-
Hehehe. How did you answer? Is it your company, or do you work for it?

My reply....

Dear Ms. Barber
I'm flattered that you would choose our company for a project such as
this, but in all honesty, Mystic Software is not a professional game
company. Mainly it is just a site that hosts resources for others
using the RPG Toolkit development software to use in creating their
games; as well as an archive of the games made with this software.
Only one game has been made under the company's name (Godiva:Alpha)
and that project has barely been touched for the last three years. I
don't think of myself, or my associates, as professionals, and as
such, I don't believe we could give your son much insight on
professional game creation and marketing. However, if you son plans on
using the RPG Toolkit software to create a game, and wanted to discuss
it on our forums (http://http://ibforums.mysticsoftware.net), and/or use the resources provided on our
website; I'm sure myself and the Mystic Software online community
would be more than happy to help him in any way we can. Thanks for
your time, and best of luck to your son and his project.

Was it seriously a message to MS? Hahaha!
-
OMG...how thick can some people get?
-
Yeah, the message seemed pretty sincere to me. What I don't get is why the mom contacted me for a High School student. If it were me as the student, I would've contacted MS myself...though, if it were me, I would've figured MS wasn't a professional game company. :blink:

-
I don't find that funny...I just think that they are dumb. Wait something that I don't find funny!?!?! Maybe the end end of the world will happen sooner Sad !!!!!
-
I doubt.
-
I also think so but the end of the world will happen.....soon....
-
Got any evidence?
-
Well the whole world will become sub tropical because the Polar Ice Caps is melting in about 70 years or so and that not very good for the enverment. It's true! Sad And I might live to see it!!!!! Oh yeah but I'll be way to old and not have a clue what's going on because I'd be 84 years old. And I'll be damned if I live that long and I hope I don't!
-
That's good. I want to see the planet shrug off the plague of humanity! I want to see them all drown in their fate, in ocean of their filth and corruption! I want them all get cleansed by the purifying ice streams and go down the drain! I want to see their bones and blood dissolve into fossil fuels they were fighting for for ages! I want to see the rats gnaw their tainted flesh and fly maggots breed in their rotten corpses! GO TERRA!!! Destroy the root of evil you have gave birth to yourself!

Surprised .....Your werid today...
Today?
-
heh, well unfortunately Cesque, the water level would not rise fast enough, and the water would not cover the entire earth...
-
Surprised .....Your werid today...
Today?
Yes today! Today meaning the current day...and I just got you ment...But he's most werid at the current day....I think....um.....cheese....
-
....?
-
I know. There was never a creature born on earth with the power to cause destruction of it's planet - and I doubt humans will make an exception.
-
Cesque: we already have the capability of destroying the planet, or practically destroying it and killing all of us. Ever heard of MAD?
-
MAD? I don't recall what's that, but I've heard of it.
And we don't have capability to destroy the planet, trust me. I might take these words to my grave, but we don't. We're, as Pontius Pilate would say - "only humans".
-
no, humans are more than capable....i predict that one day, we will destroy ourselves
-
MAD was an idea which appeared in the 1960s. It means Mutually Assured Destruction. They had that capability in the 1960s, so it is probably more dangerous now.
-
hmm...it sounds a bit mad...heh Very Happy
but really, i thought every one knew that we, the USA, had the nuclear capabilities to blow up the earth at least 7 times B) , but i believe they're now trying to get rid of the bombs.....my dad works for the DNFSB, Defence Nuclear Facilities Safty Board
-
The end of the world will happen most likey in a nukeular war or if it happens naturaly in 70 years! Beware!
-
no, humans are more than capable....i predict that one day, we will destroy ourselves.
Ourselves - but not the planet.
Nuclear war? Trust me, before it happens there will be a weapon developed to which, compared, nuclear weapons will be nothing. How about seismic bombs? Or some singularity gravity bombs? (I'm abstract now).
And end of world propably won't happen before 3000 year, if not 4500 years, if not several million years - dinosaurs reigned for ages, why can't we? Most likely because we're more like sabre-tooth tigers which ruled for a smaller period of time.
Overally, anyone ever read Jurassic Park by Chrichton? There was an excellent chapter "destroying the world".
What way MAD worked, Haraldur?
-
I read it, but that was a long time ago, so I can't remember about the chapter. Jurrassic Park II, the book, was about a thousand times better than the movie. The movie didn't even follow the book. As for the thousands of years thing, I suppose that depends on what you believe Wink . Some Christians think armegeddon will happen in the next 100 years. And I think Nostredamus (sp?) predicted the world would end in the year 2000....
-
Cesque: in the 1960s both the USSR and the USA had loads on nukes, still do, and they were increasing. This was in the Cold War and thew idea was that if there was war between them everyone would be killed, especially eachother and their allies , which is why the "Mutually" part is in it. If there was war it was almost certain everyone would be killed, and all life on Earth also, due to radiation.
-
Let's just hope we don't all get nuked in a big blazeing ball of flameing death....I'm starting to visualise my own death over and over and over....suicide probally....
-
yes, well im hoping the rapture comes before the tribulation (and the tribulation before we blow ourselves up) ....but if we have to go though it...ill try my best to stand my ground... Sad
-
Anyway, soon I am going to start up my own political campaign, in october hopefully. It will first focus for suffrage at 16, either that or no tax at 16, and then will focus on raising the pension age to 75, or more.
-
Cool...Very cool...
-
And very worthy too.

You really should read Jurassic Park, Haraldur.
Radiation is energy. It hastes evolution of microorganisms. Primitive life forms like bacterias actually FEED on solar energy.
You think life is what breathes, eats, etc like humans. There are primitivecreatures found which don't breath oxygen, but pure iron (ferrum) - I believe they were called Archea or something. Billions years ago, oxygen was poison, produced as by-product of first land plants' photosyntesis.
Yes, Spyder, movie was done by Spielberg just to show special effects and dinosaurs. The book was very good and philosophical. Movie - in these terms - sucked, compared to other movies by Spielberg, like private Ryan.
Let's just hope we don't all get nuked in a big blazeing ball of flameing death....I'm starting to visualise my own death over and over and over....suicide probally....
Personally, I would like to die in some monumental "end of the world". I hate thinking that I'll have to hang myself, die from age or in accident.
Aztecs predicted end of world in year 2014.

You really should read Jurassic Park
