I'm not deciding how I feel about this until Plungemaster and Hiawatha scream at me and call me a crybaby a few times first.

Wow those DP guys sure do get sick a lot. Get well soon Barry!

Aurich this is the first I'm hearing of your wife's health problems, I'm sorry! I hope everything's ok.

As for Barry. OP have you gotten any kind of apology? "Dear ______, I just wanted to apologize for the inconvenience today; I wasn't feeling well. Hopefully you understand, -Barry"....there. That took thirty seconds. It was weak, and devoid of any substantive information, but it's better than nothing.

This could've been a suave PR opportunity and instead another gaffe. Oh well, I'm sure everything's right as rain.

PoMC correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you wear a big pink fur-covered hat in your avatar for a few years?

Helen's nips are AURICH'S WIFE'S NIPS! He str8.

Who needs real information, when we can just sit here making casual and unwarranted observations about each other's sexuality?

Oh good SadSack's back!

I was thinking I might do a run of "I got DP-d" shirts to pass the time, as obviously we're in for a long wait. Anyone else want one?

You got the joke! Good job.

Just out of curiosity, what made anyone think there would be games on an assembly line at this point? I make no bones about being pretty DP critical, but did Barry imply that there'd be anything to see, OP? Even if they were still on schedule (which, come on, that's obviously a stretch) I'd be surprised if they were mass producing in January.

Excuse me but your weird narc comments are making us actual critics look bad. You just mosey back up on the porch to shoo meddlesome kids off your lawn.

Pinballslave what kind of "stuff happening behind the scenes we aren't party to" are you even talking about? Your argument is basically "I have no information but there MIGHT be information so I'm right and you all are wrong". I'm just wondering what type of goings-on would mandate the truly deafening (and at this point six weeks later, rather comical) silence in your mind. This silent treatment is good because __________." Seriously I'm just trying to figure out what the heck you're even talking about.

I figured you wouldn't have a very solid answer

Steve is kinda bad as supplying support for his arguments though. I just don't see how "there might be stuff we don't know about" trumps "we have been waiting for nearly two months and they will not return our deposits". It's hypothetical versus on-paper fact.

Like what? "Fragile reasons" lol...what on earth. What kind of fragile reasons do you mean?

Any damage to DP is self inflicted at this point. I can not think of a worse way for them to handle the Phil debacle, just as I can't think of a worse way to handle this guy's visit. It does not take months to put a statement together. I just don't understand, people keep inferring that there are some kind of "secret forces" at play causing a delay in response. "Fragile reasons". It's mystifying to me.

Enough of the #%+$@= blame game! Make a plan and move forward...it's been months!

Actually I'm just gonna drain this one, without any info the back and forth here is just completely pointless.
