Britney & IGN

Hey, how's it going man? Heard you and Britney were hookin' up, you got her number yet? ;) Great interview, I had a good laugh. So do you still get to visit IGN and try out games when your not busy over at Visual Concepts?

Anyways, great job with the site, love reading it. Keep up the good work, eh!

I haven't got her number yet, but it's only a matter of time. I keep seeing these reports of the 20-year-old getting overly drunk at parties and as you probably know that's also like what I like to do. We were meant for each other. All that needs to happen now is for both of us to meet at some party, both get insanely drunk, and then have photos of us both naked together plastered all over the Internet.

I still get to visit IGN and will do so on occasion (I'll drop by on weekends once in a while because I know Smith will probably still be there, he lives at work). I still love the guys there and since I'm not used to buying games, IGN works as a good free game rental place -- I currently have about 7 games that I'm borrowing at the moment.

Getting rid of crabs

Dude. I got crabs from some chick I boned last night. What the fuck can I do without going to the doctor? 

People still use "boned"? I thought that term died a long time ago... But, I digress. Here's a surefire way to get rid of those annoying little critters. 

First, you'll need a few things -- razor, ice pick, lighter or match, and lighter fluid.

Step 1 - Take the razor and shave off half of your pubic hair. 

Step 2 - Spray the lighter fluid on your pubic hair that you have left.

Step 3 - Light the pubic hair with your lighter or match. 

Step 4 - Take the ice pick and stab the crabs as they run out of the burning pubic hair.

PC graphics

What is this, Tom from yesterdays letters said " but the graphics look like pc games" about the GameCube, what's that supposed to mean? PC games are far ahead of consoles,  just look at this game http://www.elderscrolls.com/art/screenshots_01.htm . I'd like to see a console do that. Why is is that everyone thinks consoles are so damn powerful, the GF4 ti 4600 has almost twice the polygon power of the PS2, 122 million triangles, has 4 times the ram of the ENTIRE system at 128 MB. It's CPU is far more powerful, look at the Athlon XP 2100, that's speed. Anyway, keep up the great site, and  tell me if your working on any games other than NFL2K3, I don't really like football games. Even after all that about the PC I still like the PS2, got some good games even if it doesn't have the greatest hardware.

Skip

P.S. More nudity in the babe of the day section please!

PCs will always have the technological edge because they can change and grow much quicker than the consoles. If a new console came out every six months, this might be different, but that would never work. 

Even though you don't like football games, you should still buy NFL 2K3. Why? It'll have my name in the credits! That means you also need to buy Magic Knight Rayearth, Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, Elemental Gearbolt, and Thunderforce V.

Treasure is GOD

We both share a love of the masterpiece Radiant Silvergun for the Saturn and thought you'd like the heads up about the sequel called Ikaruga. I heard it's been made official for the import Dreamcast (best system ever). It's available for pre-order now with a release date of 5-30-02. For all fellow readers, videogamedepot.com is where I ordered mine, and they have always been great to deal with.

Apparently Treasure is denying that it's coming out on any platform, but you're right. That retailer and numerous other import retailers have it on their schedule to come out for Dreamcast at the end of May and PS2 later in the year. I'll definitely pick it up for each system that it comes out for because Radiant Silver gun is without question the GREATEST SHOOTER EVER. It's probably the only genre where I feel that there is a clear-cut and 100% true best.

Burning pee

Hey Dave, why does it burn when I pee?

Tre

When someone says "light a match" they mean to do it after you shit and not to actually light it and put it under your penis when you pee. 

Cool Car=Small Penis

Dave Dude,

Whenever you plan to buy a new car, just remember the immortal words of Peter Griffin. "...anybody with a big house or a fancy car is just trying to say one thing: 'Don't look at my penis.'"

And with that, I bid you Adieu

-CunningLinguist

That's just what poor people with small dicks say to make themselves feel better. Anyway, if that were true, I should just drive a scooter.

2K3 revealed!

I got to thinking...I know you can't reveal anything about 2K3 yet, but here's food for thought: if you guys make fantasy teams with the programmers/staff on them (like in Madden), doesn't that mean you'd be a character in the game?

Thanks,

-Tom

I don't see that happening, but if I get my way...you can create a "Dave Zdyrko" created player and the announcer will actually say "Dave Zdyrko". But only if I get my way. I'm also gunning to get my face in the game, but don't think it'll happen.

Parties in the future

Oh my God Dave Z. your picture section has the date 11/18/02 for the Majesco Party, this clearly states you traveled through time (or you made a mistake on your website). If you could travel through time can you only go to the future or can you go to the past as well? Anyways can you teach me to travel through time, or does this have to do with your plans to take over the World? If you plan on taking over the world is your Super Penis™ involved? Also are you going to force Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Mandy Moore to marry you once you're done taking over the world? And about your message board I'm not entirely sure if that would work but if you make one I'll sign up.

Person9000

You've discovered my evil plot. I've been working on a time machine and plan to use it to take over the world. Actually, world domination isn't in my plans because taking over the world would be more problematic than fun. Sure, it'd be nice to rule the world, but I'd hate having to deal with all the people aiming to take your place and who really wants to rule the Middle East or Iowa?

That said, there are still ways to make my life better with this time machine and I'll surely use it to get laid more often. And mark my words, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore and many other beautiful ladies will all experience my Super Penis™ some day.  

REAL!!!

The pic on the bottom right called britney1.  Is that real or fake ?

It's a real pic...but might not be the real Britney Spears...

The publisher/developer relationship

What role, if any, does a publisher play in the finished game?  Rockstar published GTA3 and DMA developed it (I think that's correct?), so who made the game?

Thanks,

-Tom

The answer depends on the publisher and developer in question. In some cases, the publisher will be in complete control of the game and in others they'll be pretty hands-off. The developer is the company that actually makes the game in all cases, though. If the publisher helps out, it's usually a matter of voicing opinions about design or implementation or just saying, "fuck it, the game's finished even if you don't think it is, let's ship it!". 

DMA made the game, but I believe people at Rockstar helped in the development. 

Whacked?

What's the most you've ever whacked in one day? I wanna beat it (No pun intended), so I can be the best in the world!! WOO 

P.S. Do you know what you've done? you've made thousands of guys talk about how much they whack off, I'm quite impressed, now only if you could get the ladies to tell as well!

My record is 31 times in a single day.
