    • Over the past 48 hours 4chan's formspring page has gotten over 12,000 questions, and I've received over 3,000 e-mails. Many thanks to everyone who submitted a question, and sent me a message! I was able to respond to a few hundred e-mails and had hoped to start answering questions on formspring, but it seems that the number of questions broke the page. Once that's sorted out, I'll sift through them and answer as time allows.
    Thanks again for all of the support!

    In other news, /rs/ now processes MediaFire/MegaUpload/and a bunch of other links correctly (this had been broken for months). The old links should be updated in about a week (the checker is taking a while).
    Thanks to Popcorn Mariachi for spontaneously appearing and fixing this.

    Final reminder: Ask questions here, e-mail me here (I read *every* one), and follow 4chan on the Twitter here.

    >Something's happening at Infinity Ward right now.

    >A source close to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 developer just informed me that a "bunch of bouncer-types" just showed up outside of the Infinity Ward offices unannounced. When approached by employees, the non-uniformed "bouncers" were unwilling to disclose why they were there.

    >"Everyone is on edge," said my source.

    >Infinity Ward studio heads Vince Zampella and Jason West reportedly met with Activision this morning and have not been seen by Infinity Ward staff members since. My source did not delve into specifics, but described the relationship between Infinity Ward and Activision lately as "tense."
    The mood around the Infinity Ward offices is currently described as "freaked out" and "confused."

    No, it was an Activision cut. Back when they were letting everyone go Infinity Ward thought they were safe because of Modern warfare 2. Activision has not been happy with it, and is cutting them down to around 50%.

    Same thing happened when they let go of a bunch of QA testers a few days ago. No one cared then.

    Nah, they don't need IW to perpetuate the IPs they develop for. Activision can shitcan them, saving money on the quarterly report and raise delicious stock prices. And possibly, Kotick would do it just to try and deflect some of the hate for the publisher by making it look like he "dealt with" a problem dev that did things that angered consumers(insert every shitty thing about MW2 here).

Maybe write one or two bugs a day. But if your wrote more than that, you got moved to a different project. It was really a great job.

    I know a few programmers that put time-delayed buttfuckery(that gets removed from the final builds) into what they're working on just in case of situations like this. A couple others keep a flash drive full of scorched-earth type routines so they can quickly slip them into projects. It's funny how vicious they can be when it comes to lay-offs.

    Hello, 47. Your next assignment involves a male target known as Keith Sweton, who is working under the immensely popular software company Infinity Ward as a video game developer. Our sources claim that Mr. Sweton is a child pornographer who uses promises of "beta testings" to lure young teenage boys into an undisclosed location and then mortally rape them. The target is likely in the building at this very moment working on the company's next project. The target must be eliminated, and a copy of the company's next largest project must be brought with you upon your return. The situation is delicate, 47. Several armed security guards personally hired by Mr. Sweton have already infiltrated the building. It will be up to you to avoid them and, if necessary, eliminate them.
