Congratulations Burger Wars!

This is really a huge moment for Indies, and I just wanted to take a moment and offer my congratulations on one hell of a deal by Britton and the Burger Wars people.

You have achieved what we've all dreamed about, and worked hard for. You give us hope that some day all of our hard work and sleepless nights will pay off. Sometimes hope is all you have and so I thank you for that from the bottom of my heart.

I think we need a forum on here for Kudos.

I'll have to agree with the rest of you. Britton has worked hard not only for himself but for the rest of the indies in this community. Let's buy him a burger. Now who's driving and where we going, McBozo's or Burger Clown?

Big time congrats to Britton and the Burger Wars folks :) They seem very pleased with the deal, so I'm happy for 'em. I think Burger Wars will be a success. I've mentioned it to about half a dozen real-life gamer friends and their reactions are all the same: "Ha ha. Dude, that sounds awesome."

Lots of cool stuff going on in that camp. GameBeavers is a great thing too. I'm impressed by all the folks involved there, and with Burger Wars.

PS- Yes, congrats to Paul as well, for an effective post ;)

April Fools? No wonder that hot blond's phone number is "out of service"! I was a little suspicious when she started off "555..." but the mace lingering in my eyes must have dulled my senses.

Gah, I can't believe it was an April Fool's joke. I was excited for those guys. :)

Ah well... not the most stupid thing I've ever fallen for, by a long shot. Touche, Britton, you rogue.
