That's what he gets for trying to build the game and physics engine from scratch rather then licencing an engine after over a decade out of the industry.
Hellooooooo, issues with the physics? It's called HAVOK Virgil, ya goofball! If it's good enough for the Halo, Half Life, and Tribes franchises , and the Matrix movies, it's certainly good enough for Nisha.

Licensing game engines = lack of programming skills imho

I disagree. But this isn't the place for that arguement.

I'd just like to add one comment heard over and over in the 'development' field then I'll leave it alone.
"Why try to re-invent the wheel?"
Nothing wrong with looking outside the box, it's encouraged, but unless you're not on a deadline or whatever, there's usually a time and money issue, which usually helps makes the choice for you when you lay it out logically.

hmm I wonder if they will post my response to Ian's email he sent me. I am playing this off as being very pro Ian/Anti Nisha due to my side of the events at Coachella.
He's right about one thing. I def like getting my hands dirty =)

So we are going to have two teams at E3 then. Virgil's and Ian's?

You may want to go more anti-Virgil then anti-Nisha...
She is his girl after all.

Hmm me thinks Ian has suspicions about where Nisha's loyalty is right now. You are right though HHM. Heaven help the man that steps in between another man's relationship
I got a reply back from Ian this morning with only..
"Oh yeah..You'll Do Nicely"
Gonna be interesting for sure

Sounds like Ian is finding people to kill off Virgil at E3... so all you going.... remember repeated jabs to the throat and a quick kneeing in the testes will subdue if not make him commit suicide... or Ian wants you people to steal his protype of the Nisha Cronicles... which is still cool...

shouldn't that be followed by maniacal laughter?
