OMG! :O am i supposed to know wat that means?

This is absurd. What are you trying to prove here? We can't even tell who said what for the most part.
Not only that, but this has nothing to do with with MKD.

I wish people would stop making these threads.
Nobody gives half a fuck if you (anybody on this board in general) have a personal vendetta against Boon, send him hate mail or something if it makes you happy, but what good does it do to make a thread like this?

I think he's trying to prove that they are immature and don't really give any real answer to anything.. I don't know.. maybe that's what he's trying to prove?

OOPS! my bad, I was up pretty late last night when I posted it. I did not even realize I posted this without the names... Anyway, here it is again.

[20:20] Tony Goskie Backgrounds Characters FX
[20:20] Ok since I can type I will start...
[20:20] Thanks....
[20:20] Go head Ed
[20:20] I was one of the software/design guys on the GRID.
[20:21] Along with Todd, Mike Boon, Alan Villani and NIgel Casey
[20:21] We are all going to be working together again on MK5
[20:21] I did a lot of the character animation, a few backrounds, special effects, and a lot of the menu screens.
[20:22] We ALL collectively contributed in terms of characters, backgrounds, supermoves and Game design
[20:22] A very collaborative team effort
[20:22] Yeah it was a big team effort
[20:22] How about a question for someone?
[20:22] im back
[20:23] Please, one question at a time
[20:23] yeah not to fast
[20:24] Welcome everyone to The Grid developers chat. Tonight's event is in moderated listen-only mode. Please send all questions for developers to McCarron by typing: /msg McCarron [20:24] No questions ?
[20:24] ed... they can't...
[20:24] Vogel: you want to tell everyone what your involvement in the grid was?
[20:24] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[20:25] they have to be sent to mccarron
[20:25] Welcome everyone to The Grid developers chat. Tonight's event is in moderated listen-only mode. Please send
[20:25] all questions for developers to McCarron by typing: /msg McCarron [20:25] How about you guys tell everyone what The Grid is, for those here who haven't heard about it yet.
[20:26] its clevelands hottest gay bar
[20:26] IT's a multi-player game set in the future
[20:26] no its also a great game
[20:26] Half way through and no questions?
[20:26] the grid is a multi-player FPS
[20:27] for more information on the grid visit http://www.thegridgame.com
[20:28] how did you guys come up with this game?
[20:28] (I just got flooded with messages)
[20:28] The Grid is a combination of many elements
[20:28] the theme of the grid is a futuristic game show.
[20:29] We all enjoyed playing Quake and other FPS pc games but knew
[20:29] the whole concept blends elements of Stark Trek's Holodeck, The Matrix and first person Shooters like Quake,l and adds a very funny light game show theme in the future
[20:29] we could make a much faster more intense game with our arcade system
[20:30] xxx
[20:30] ed cant see what im typing
[20:30] yea fixing that right now
[20:30] ok
[20:31] Did working with the Zeus II help or hinder the development of The Grid since MK4 used the original Zeus
[20:31] graphics chip?
[20:31] The grid is an arcade game that can link up to 6 cabinets together for multi-player quake-style action
[20:31] quake-like game with a funny side to it
[20:31] we chose the Grid from over 100 names over about 1 year of development
[20:32] i would say that Zeus 2 was a great challenge, but we welcome it
[20:32] The ZEUS II chip let us get the high polygon counts needed to have 6
[20:32] Zeus2 has it's pluses and minuses... it can blast out tons of polygons, but is limited in real-time lighting
[20:32] high polygon count players at a time
[20:32] we originally wanted to have 8 players linked, can you imagine!!!!!!!!!!!!
[20:33] ** QUESTION ** BCRT2K asks Why did you decide to break from MK for awhile? Did you feel you needed a fresh start?
[20:33] ZEUS made us really design the game for performace
[20:33] We originally started on MK5 and the Grid together
[20:33] yeah... needed to try something new and different for a while
[20:33] this was my first game and i never worked on anything like Zeus 2, but i would say it does the job pretty damn good
[20:33] ok I am back.
[20:34] But everyone seemed more interested in the Grid because it was new
[20:34] YES it was nice to do a different themed game
[20:34] yea i was getting tired of working on mk4 lol
[20:35] Joke = Mike Didnt work on MK4
[20:35] I am a big fan of first-person shooters and was way into the idea of doing this game for a change
[20:35] We all love first-person shooters
[20:35] who doesn't?
[20:35] Welcome everyone to The Grid developers chat. Tonight's event is in moderated listen-only mode. Please send all questions for developers to McCarron by typing: /msg McCarron [20:35] ** QUESTION ** DArqueBishop asks What made the team decide to go for Zeus II as opposed to other chipsets such as the 3Dfx chipset which is so polular with games like HydroThunder and the Gauntlet series?
[20:36] No one had really done an FPS in the arcade yet and it was an interesting opportunity to be the first
[20:36] tipper gore and lana chaney sure dont like the
[20:36] I think we underestimated the difficulty of doing a linked game
[20:36] LINK GAME HARD
[20:36] It took the entire team to get this game out which is why MK5 was put on hold
[20:36] Tony Smart
[20:36] We used the zeus 2 to make the game cost less, as i recall..
[20:36] lol
[20:37] Actually we have quite a few obstacles throughout the course of the game development....
[20:37] Yeah it was really cheaper than other systems
[20:37] Hardware issues, delays, this game took longer than it should have
[20:37] Yes, ZEUS II allowed us to use a very cheap CPU and a simpler system
[20:37] I guess it works out better to make it cheaper for a linked game, requiring more cabinets
[20:38] totally
[20:38] ** QUESTION ** FatSatan asks what's everybody's favourite character on the game?
[20:38] yes the guys that did Zeus 2 created something that loads of people at 3dfx worked on and they did it for less cost , so hooray for midway!!!
[20:38] Mine is karasu
[20:38] Same here
[20:38] Mine is Trom
[20:38] I'd have to say Wes
[20:38] Mine WAS Flint, now its Noob.
[20:38] I like IKE not just because I did him
[20:38] Flint is my fave because he can really collect the money fast and i always go for THE BOMB
[20:39] Trom = Cheapness
[20:39] Followed closely by Trixi
[20:39] EdBoon: hint hint? :)
[20:39] tony you are sick
[20:39] i like karasu's supermove.. the jet kick.. it's a blast knocking people down
[20:39] Every char that I've liked I would abuse until Ed would wimp them out
[20:39] I used to love Scorpion with his super fast teleport
[20:39] STUP UP
[20:39] Thats actually kind of true. Todd was the best at finding the "unfairness" of characters
[20:39] todd will find the weakness and exploit it to no end (cheater)
[20:39] "stut"?
[20:40] "stup"
[20:40] okokoko
[20:40] st...
[20:40] I think Ed's favorite is Cameraman
[20:40] link game hard
[20:40] Noob is now my favorite, but that will be fixed by Monday..
[20:40] I like Cyrus over the rest
[20:41] If you are playing with one of the artists.....watch your back
[20:41] trom is really hard to defend against
[20:41] Trom is way cheap
[20:41] MikeT: Trom is just cheap
[20:41] Welcome everyone to The Grid developers chat. Tonight's event is in moderated listen-only mode. Please send all questions for developers to McCarron by typing: /msg McCarron [20:41] yep
[20:41] cyrus rock ass
[20:41] just gotta keep the distance
[20:41] The cheerleaders are pretty tough too.
[20:41] Nigel type
[20:41] I like Cyrus's supermove because it is a quick way to attack the opponent and get up out of the firing range quickly
[20:41] For annoyance, you can't beat the Lawyer.
[20:42] yeah they can blast you 1000 meters
[20:42] use the lawyer to steal trom's money. dont get too close to trom. watch your radar especiallyt in the smaller arenas
[20:42] ** QUESTION ** Everyone wants to know what Home Systems The Grid may be slated for already?
[20:42] It is also super satisfying to get the BOMB with the Lawyer..
[20:42] so do we
[20:42] ToddAllen: it doesn't take much to do that tho
[20:42] It sounds like PS2 will be first
[20:42] My vote is for dreamcast...
[20:42] Good question, most LIKELY the PS2. I think a kool version could be made for Dreamcast with online play
[20:43] I want Dreamcast/PS2 and PC
[20:43] my vote is for all the systems that have online play
[20:43] I think the XBox will be the best system for the Grid
[20:43] This game would lend itself well to online (kid and) play
[20:43] The more the better
[20:43] PC would probably be the best version
[20:43] people own dreamcasts?
[20:43] WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the more the better
[20:43] Stup up Paulo
[20:44] heh
[20:44] PauloGarcia: some people, not many tho :)
[20:44] I'll get one soon...
[20:44] i like the dreamcast over PS2...
[20:44] Ed, tell about the Chicago tournament planned for the Grid
[20:44] Yea, cuz Johns played alot of PS2
[20:44] JohnVogel: I'd lend u mine if I come back out there, it's just collecting dust for now
[20:44] I have...
[20:44] ** Question ** Where did the game's subtitle, "That's What you Get," come frome?
[20:45] John Vogel
[20:45] John Vogel would taunt us with that phrase
[20:45] There is going to be a tournament, right now the tentative date is Sept 30.
[20:45] john vogel's dog niko
[20:45] that'd be Vogel's Question
[20:45] At Gala West (Brunswick Lanes)
[20:45] "What You Get" is what i used to type when i would frag someone in quake 2
[20:46] vogel even has WHAT YOU GET on his door at work!!!!!!!!!
[20:46] It was one of the few taunts "clean" enough for a tag line
[20:46] Nigel keep it down, OK?
[20:46] about what time Ed?
[20:46] Yes Nigel
[20:46] I'm working on a lisence plate with WYG onit
[20:46] JohnVogel: awesome!
[20:47] I am not sure, probably in the afternoob, like 2 or 3
[20:47] John also did the WYG weapon (the blue backpack blaster)
[20:47] ** Question ** Badrock wnats to know if a "wins in a row" type system will be added to The Grid, and why it's not there yet
[20:47] actually amfreind of mine in prison is working on your WYG license plate
[20:47] Stup Paulo !!!
[20:47] Yeah, ed...
[20:47] heh
[20:47] brian gloats
[20:47] I think wins in a row would be cool, but we dont have much time
[20:48] for more tweaks..
[20:48] Another happy person has left
[20:48] Ed wants to know: WHy does Paulo Cheat so much in the GRID
[20:48] YEah
[20:48] Yeah
[20:48] haha
[20:48] thats his job
[20:48] st...
[20:48] stup
[20:48] ** Question ** Was there any plan to intergrate the Midway Tournmanet Network into this game?
[20:49] hahahahahahaha
[20:49] i think there was a one point
[20:49] It was great when Paulo abused Kevin in the tournament here..
[20:49] We talked about it, but right now there aren't fast enough connections to sustain 60 frames per sec
[20:49] Yikes
[20:49] what about for nationwide rankings?
[20:49] That would be cool. Certainly for the home game
[20:50] ** 30 Minutes have elapsed **
[20:50] well MTN is just rankings
[20:50] not online play, keeps track of who's got most points nationwide, etc
[20:50] it's too much to ask arcades to set up, i think...
[20:50] and it would add cost + development time
[20:50] Another happy person has left
[20:50] many arcades/bars are going to Touchmaster and Rush 2029 with MTN
[20:50] Stup Tony
[20:51] haha Tony
[20:51] ** QUESTION ** Will a new version of "The Grid" be released yearly like sports titles. Example - NFL Blitz 2001 . The grid is "sorta" sports related, but extreme like NFL Blitz.
[20:51] Tony's breath is scaring them away
[20:51] that was from Scott of MK5.org
[20:51] ??
[20:51] Rankings in a multi-player game only have meaning with the group you play against
[20:51] If the GRID does well... there will probably be sequels
[20:51] Perhaps for the Home , although if we kept doing GRID games we would NEVER start work on MK5
[20:52] There isn't a plan for an arcade sequel, although a home game will definitely have
[20:52] new features and might almost qualify as a sequel
[20:52] It would certainly be nice to do a sequel!
[20:52] Oh my!! Alan, I forgot you were here?
[20:52] Nigel says hi
[20:52] Nigel>
[20:52] Where is he?
[20:52] ** QUESTION ** Shiny asks is it possible to change account information?
[20:53] ORSMAB
[20:53] steve beran hates us
[20:53] no
[20:53] Nigel
[20:53] Change your name? Sans
[20:53] No... you can't CHANGE your stats...
[20:53] you can start over, tho. Not the best choice
[20:54] how about an update to allow people to change their names
[20:54] Its 7:50, time for some MK5 questions?
[20:54] you guys were late...there are 25 minutes left in the event =)
[20:54] lol
[20:54] give 'em what they want... MK5..
[20:54] mk5 for 25 minutes?
[20:54] R U sure?
[20:54] ** MK5 QUESTION ** will MKV be using the same numbering keypad to enter codes or even make your own MK character?
[20:54] we were working on the grid
[20:55] We are considering a keypad.
[20:55] Ed popped the cherry on MK5... there's no turning back now
[20:55] Stup John
[20:55] stup
[20:55] and two trackballs (joke)
[20:55] you stup
[20:55] haha
[20:56] When you said you were going to change the control panel you weren't kidding eh? =)
[20:56] ** MK5 QUESTION ** MK5 Question for 7:50 - Ed, when we last talked you said Scorp was still the only confirmed character as far as you knew. But is there any ideas yet of who else will make the roster?
[20:56] and in "The GRID" you can... aw, never mind....
[20:57] We have models of Scorpion, Jax, Raiden. Although we haven't decided EXACTLY other than Scorpion for sure
[20:57] I would be surprised if we did an MK game sans Subzero
[20:57] I think badrock said it best about MK5 player profiles

Damn it! It's not posting the names on here. WTF??

here is the addy

http://membres.lycos.fr/mortalkombatall/interview1.htm:

I'll probably get flamed out the yin yang for this...but....so what?
You pretty much proved they are...game developers...lol

i want the last 10 minutes of my life back...

Dude, that link doesn't even work lol.

I understand what you are trying to do, but this really doesn't do any good. Plus it has nothing to do with MKD.

Indeed... I do not see how this relates to the game at all. If you are attempting to state something about the MK team's behaviour this is the incorrect forum to do that in.

Thread closed.
