While I was still in touch with him he did mention it... he sounded pretty beaten up by everything the community was throwing at him. I remember hearing about the prospect of Max Shrapnel. That was a priceless gem I knew was going to be good once he finished with it. But before he could... everybody forced him out of the job. I won't deny it, I've been pretty fed up with most of the attitudes I saw when he was still around. Call me selfish, but I wanted to see all those games! I didn't care how long it took him, as long as we got to see them... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 2:50 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] James North?
