"I didn't touch your tree!" - Kristen "It would look like: WHACK, WHACK-WHACK, WHACK, WHACK-WHACK, WHACK." -Andrew "Oh! What are you working on now -- reproduction?" - Raph "I'm gonna go make some ham for the wolves to eat." - Raph "I like the dirty rectangle." - Scott "No problem. For the server, we'll just slap on a couple more gigs." - Scott "So, does Scott come before Edmond or Rick?" - Kristen "This sucks! Who wrote this piece of sh*t?" - Edmond to Andrew, knowing full well who wrote the piece of... "Just don't water my snake." - Rick "You ain't gonna like this woman with his arms on her." - Micael "We're striving for your magic, and I'm going to come and rub your head everyday until we get it." - Andrew to Scott, who wasn't having trouble getting things to work. "You could try rubbing network cables." - Rick to Andrew, in response to above. "If it's easier to get it up without going through the paperdoll...." - Jeff "I made a penguin once." - Scott "Add some... splotches of cool texture stuff." - Scott "Now you're playing with bars again." - Scott "Eeeewwww, he bit the duck's butt off!" - Raph and Kristen "No! I bit the duck's head off -- far less gross! Well, less gross." - Andrew "Oh, there's the better corpse." - Raph "I'm sorry, Marsh, I didn't mean to hit you in the privies with Raph's shaft." - Andrew "I like destroying pictures." - Scott "I look at that and I don't see Lord British... I see a cool guy." - Scott "I am Greenhead of the Buck Naked tribe." - Marshall "We saw Todd's corpse with his legs wrapped around a lamppost... it looked all weird...." - Kristen "Hang on a second -- I need to look at this pair of breasts first." - Andrew "There's a fifty-fifty chance if there's enough meat you can assemble a baker out of it." - Raph "This looks like Doom." - Todd, upon viewing Duke Nukem for the first time. "Yes, but this one has nekkid chicks." - Marshall "Don't love it -- you could get it sticky." - Raph "Just think -- a marble bear is better than a marble mongbat." - Todd "In addition to this, they are spending money to be dead." - Kristen, on why ghosts shouldn't have to be bored. "She licked it all over and stuck it on there." - David "Oh, could I have a pet waitress?" - Scott "Let them eat tables." - Mark R. "I don't like units on girls." - Starr "I, too, used to be someone women respected." - Kevin "I'm wearing trolls." - Scott "There's a chicken running rampant through Nujel'm right now." - Todd "You've got a little ding-ding that goes off." - Kevin "I was heartbroken for three days after I accidentally mowed over my Chewbacca." - Scott "I'm just gonna have you rebuild the world after this meeting." - Starr "Marsh hurt his hand in a CLAPPING accident??" - the rest of the team, when Marsh showed up with a bandage on his hand "So we make man-eating apple trees and the apples will show up?" - Joye "I guess I was hoping there wouldn't BE any bugs." - Ragnar "This game is like, perfect for multiplayer stuff." - Gary Scott Smith After Ragnar ate some dried mealworms with spice: "No thanks, I'm at a sociological stage of development where I don't NEED to eat bugs anymore." - Dan After Mark admitted to eating two as well: "It' a good thing they're not alive." - Kevin "Yeah, they'd breed in your stomach." - Brian "I'll only be having one piece of this delicious looking cake that someone very kindly left in my office, (along with a great deal of glitter which I will not eat). Have some cake, it's better than mealworms!" - Brian on his birthday. "I will not compare Ultima Online to Diablo." - Scott, on the team whiteboard in the hallway. "I will not go work at Ion Storm." - anonymous, on the team whiteboard, after several folks DID "Can we change the perspective?" - marketing guy, mere weeks from beta "'Twas the day before beta, And all through the code Not a damn thing was working... Not even god mode." - several programmers, improvising at lunch "No more demos!" - Starr, lying thru his teeth "What kind of meat do human corpses produce?" -- "No seriously, this is a serious gameplay issue!" - Starr to Gary "The rest of my scheduled tasks are meaningless." - Gary Scott Smith "Quality takes time." - Mr. Mike. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." - Richard Garriott "Well, you pulled it out and handed it to her!" - Chucky Z. to Ragnar "And she initialed it!" - Ragnar in response "My actual title is Reverend Mother." - Mark F. "You should spell that 'mutha.'" - Micael "I must take this opportunity to state that I have recently noticed some people in this production group, who shall remain nameless, using the word "insure" to mean "ensure". The couth Originite correctly identifies the word "insure" as a verb meaning "to give insurance to" and the word "ensure" as a verb meaning "to make sure". The next time you use the phrase "I will insure that this work gets done on time" in my presence, I shall consider this a legal and binding insurance contract and will demand payment when the work is not, in fact, completed on time." - Jeff Wofford, being pedantic. "Jennifer went home--she was laying eggs around the building all morning." - Raph, after Jen did Easter activities all day "We should get sponsored by Dr. Pepper." - Rick "I will not have my baby three weeks early." - appeared on the whiteboard after Joye did, severely messing up the schedules "50,000 cigarettes were smoked in the making of Ultima Online." - our best guess "You shouldn't give a marketing guy the controls." - Alex Carloss, VP of Marketing, discussing demos "It was society's ills that made me place these tiles wrong! It's not my fault!" - Kevin "If we don't think there are enough dragons in the mix we just tweak the dragon generator dial on our server side and more dragons appear in the game." - Starr Long - Gamespot Interview "How come I haven't seen the Dragon Generator Dial yet?" - Chuck Crist "You haven't made the art for it yet? Oh no! The whole system is gonna break down!!" - Raph "The resource system works a little too well. There was this huge mob of female bards clumped around me. And I ran, and they all followed me! Naked chicks, mind you! So I had to kill them all." - Scott "It's such a happy song to butcher people by." - Chuck Crist "There's horses raining from the sky! What do we do about it?" - Mike McShaffry "You know, that code makes absolutely no sense to me." - Todd, watching over Rick's shoulder "Right now, it's not making much sense to me either. And I just got done writing it fifteen minutes ago." - Rick (after several all-nighters at work) "I think there's a bug. I was fighting a dragon, when suddenly he turned around, flew away, turned into an air elemental, and exploded." - Rick "Oooo, I want to put on a dress!" - Scott Phillips "That'll be $17.08. Two pizzas and breadsticks hey that's an Ultima Online shirt do you know anything about it can yougetmeintothebetawhenisitcomingout I've read ALL about it do you guys workforOriginthatmustbeacooljob!" - the pizza delivery guy at Raph's door "I need nothing in particular." - an NPC when asked what they would like "If you bring me some nothing in particular, that'd be nice." - the same NPC, asked a little bit later "Top 10 things cut from the 3D animations that would have made the game SO MUCH more fun: 10) Human animation: the Macarena frames 9) The dancing pig frames. 8) Human Animation: Running with lantern, tripping, bursting into flames frames. 7) Sheep use animation (baaad avatar) 6) The Alien creature out of chest frames 5) The invisible stalker frames (and JUST the frames) 4) The flaming fish of way way better than doom frames 3) the bending over 'I just got my bill for hourly time on UO' frames. 2) Dragon Animation: spitting up giant sized hairball frames 1) Polar bear idle frames: Cracking and drinking a coke" - Todd "Dammit, I don't think I've got a quote yet. I've got to say something funny soon." - Jason "Wow, everything has been running well lately." - Jason "Don't say that, you'll jinx it!" - Mark R. 1 hour later: "You jinxed it." - Mark R. "Time has stopped. No, really, time stops every 49 days." - Rick "Why is it that the first thing the people in charge do to the credits is move their names to the top?" - Unknown "Who cast An Tym?" - Various people "It's fixed. Time won't stop for another 280 million years now." - Rick "Guess Russ will need to test for 280 million years to verify it." - Rick "Um, Santas are taking over the world." - frantic GM calling Jason over the holidays As we wonder why apparent creature population keeps falling: "Half of the creatures in the world are inside of stablemasters!" - Ragnar "Must be crowded in there." - Unknown "Why is the stablemaster shooting fireballs?" "There must be a dragon inside of him!" - Unknown * The End *
