How long was "a go" for? It took me days before the addiction bedded in with me. I hated it at first.
Oh shit, from 1up:
Developer Factor 5 is facing tough choices due to our bad economy, according to a blog post from Sam Baker, an animator for the company. Baker explains that after a two-week foray to work with California-based animation studio The Orphanage, he came back to Factor 5 and found that none of his fellow employees had been paid in the past month. His team continued on their current project, but then had their health care benefits taken as a cost-saving measure.
Next, the company told employees that they had to shutter the current project due to insufficient funds. "We figured it wasn't a problem, however, because there were still other projects that needed us," he said. But most recently, Baker claims that Factor 5 president Julian Eggebrecht told the employees that they need funding in a week, or employees may need to start looking for other jobs. This is all the word of one blogger, so without official comment from the company we'll file it as a rumor for now. We can hope that the situation isn't as dire as it sounds, but if it is Factor 5 may need to start letting go of employees within the next week.
Baker doesn't mention any of the projects the company had in the pipeline, but we know that the company was working on a Wii title, rumored to be a new entry in the Rogue Squadron series, or a revival of the SNES classic Pilotwings. Factor 5's last big game was Lair, which was received harshly by critics due to imprecise motion controls. The company has been known for pushing hardware, so fans hoped the next game would showcase their skills. Unfortunately, due to the bad economy, they may never get the chance. We'll keep you posted as we learn more.
Dvader, you agree with this Mushroom men review?

...nii-san? Now I'm not Japanese, but as I recall that means "older brother"...
Oh, and frames 13-15 remind me way too much of this:

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileIt's funny, but the DS version of GTA is the only GTA game that has created any interest in me. I like that art style.
I am not Japanese either, but I think it is like this.....
O-nii-san = big brother
nii-san = brother/older brother
otouto = younger brother
aniki = older brother (less formal speak)
You can also use nii-san to older male friends, it's a bit like the American use of bro
Hmm, I didn't bother to check that before posting that article. It's free, isn't it?
I'd create one, but the only feedback I'd give 'em was to stop making WWII FPS.
At least that gave me an excuse to start properly Path of Radiance and continue with DeBlob. I'll have the chance to work through most of my Wii backlog, I believe.
I have to finish:
