Why software reps shouldnt try to use parables...
Posted By: Lilricky <lilricky_@hotmail.com>Date: 11/7/01 11:23 p.m.

In Response To: New Thread, Same Old Story (Matt)

Of course if you dont know the best way to get to your friend's house, maybe you shouldnt even try to leave your house. I mean an idiot could drive across town, and why wouldnt you know if there was parking? Come on, he's your friend, you live in the same town, cant you even look at a map? And if you need gas why not get the gas while your going to your friend's house? As for rush hour, you dont know when most people get off work??

: One of the occupational hazards of this job is that someone will always try
: to twist my words so it looks like I'm saying something else.

: When I said "Jason Jones is still unsure how we're handling the PC
: version," certain people chose to interpret that as me saying Jason
: wasn't sure it would happen at all. No one on this board, naturally. Some
: other board where you have to sit through two pages of ads before you can
: register your account. (Actually it's just one page of ads, but if you
: don't buy anything the first time you see it, they show it to you again
: and shame you for not consuming enough. Might have something to do with
: why I don't post there.)

: I will try to say this again a little more clearly so that no one
: misunderstands.

: We still plan to do a Mac and PC version of Halo, but there are a lot of
: questions that must be answered before we can make the Mac/PC versions
: happen. It's like driving across town to a friend's house. You could take
: the highway, but it's rush hour; maybe it would be better to take side
: streets? Do you have enough gas for the trip, or do you need to make a
: side trip to a gas station? Can you park on his street for free or do you
: need to bring cash for a parking garage? These are all important questions
: that you'll need to answer before you start the trip, and will certainly
: affect the trip itself - but they don't affect the destination. You're
: going to your friend's house one way or another. Unless you live in the
: Puget Sound region, the land which inspired my forthcoming country song,
: " The Roads To Your Heart (Were Built By Competing Logging Firms In
: The Nineteenth Century, And That's Why It Takes Me An Hour To Figure Out
: Where It Is And By The Time I Get There I'm So Pissed Off And Frustrated
: That I Just Turn Around And Go Home) ."

: I have asked many questions about the Mac/PC versions in recent days, because
: I want to know what's going on so I can get the "I have confirmation
: it's never coming" wankers off the community's back. I have asked
: people who are in the best position to know what's going on, like Alex and
: Jason. They don't have answers to all the questions yet, and they don't
: want to say anything until all the ducks are in a row, but they know what
: they have to do. If pressed to choose between an "anonymous
: source" referenced by some random guy on a web forum, and two real
: people with names who have confided Bungie secrets to me for years, I'll
: pick the latter. And I cheerfully invite the anonymous sources, if they
: actually exist, to come on over to Bungie HQ and chat with Alex and Jason
: and myself so we can eliminate the communication breakdown.

: I'm running out of ways to rephrase this answer that don't involve swearing.
: Hope this tides you over for a while.

: -Matt
