Hey! What’s going on? Is the game actually moving forward? I REALLY, REALLY hope so….

And yes….I think it’s beyond ridiculous that you don’t have full control over your character with or without permission from some company or other. Artists get taken advantage of at every opportunity. Non artists don’t know what it’s like to have “your baby” stolen from you and then handed back to you after you’ve paid for what you already own.

I am desperate to ride a guinea pig and shoot a bubble gun that I thought was a barn blaster while listening to Evil the Cat laugh at my futility. I need this. Badly. :) Good luck Mr. TenNipples! You should consider surgery, maybe. If you have time…don’t let it effect your work, though!

Ahh, I see Doug. Anyway, I can’t wait to see what direction you are going to go. You must be so proud to get your own creation back in your hands after all these years.

YAY! I mean, yay? Maybe,”Whoa.” Yup, that feels right.

Jim is a super iconic an memorable character. Everyone (me) was heart broken to see his charter go down the path it did, so to hear him being revisited with the original perspectives (You), frickin’ great.

P.C. Unfunny, you got that right. The problem with EWJ was that the rights were buried/spread all over the place. The rights stopped being tied up when due to lack of activity, the character reverted back to Interplay. It’s a long story.

Hey Doug ! I am so glad to see Jim is back on track. I must know though, how did you and interplay go through all the red tape ? I know EWJ was dead because the rights were all tied up.

Glad to see Jim is returning. I have so many fond memories of both the cartoon/video game series from my childhood. Ditto on the Neverhood comment too.
