Yes. Actually, I think it might be more work related (I think his summers are full), but he is most likely beta-testing one of those if not all three.

I rather suspect he's been busy organizing his Malibu Stacy doll collection.

That can get to be quite a job if you don't stay on top of it.

Edit: damn, SkyDog actually answered this before I could post my stupid comment.

Double edit: or not? Where'd that go?

You've been victimized by StealthDog.

You all right there, Fonzie? Is the heat getting to you? The Javon Walker holdout? The excitement of GenCon fast approaching?

Skydog replied, that he was "beta-testing a new ignore feature that ignored new threads and quotes of an ignored user" (more or less)... He then deleted the post and vanished...

I don't that is what it said. I think it said something about beat-testing an inflatable penguin. I really don't know what that means.

Sheesh, some of you (in the other thread included) make it sound like this is going to be a surprise when the news hit. Just take a look at past releases from Jim and from Arles' team to get an indication of what is happening now. Not only SkyDog (who was a key tester for the ill-fated TPF) but QuikSand and primelord as well (esp for FOF5). They all were good testers and I assume would glad to help again. Bowl Bound certainly is or will be in testing, esp. since it is a new release and for Jim, I would imagine a new version of FOF that is different than what we have now or perhaps TCY2 if he wants to compete with Bowl Bound head on. There is an outside chance that Jim is doing a new sport but I don't know.

It was pretty tongue in cheek, I don't think he meant it vindictively bud.

Yeah. I wouldn't worry about it. SkyDog is just a little surly sometimes when it comes to dealing with people.

Are you kidding? I probably know less than anyone here because I really don't follow this genre much anymore and only play the old games (OOTP5 and FBCB).

Most of them are already well aware of whatever sleeping-bag requirements there happen to be at any given moment.
