Well Hello, Mr. Verdu!

I am pleased to know that you feel that GT has their act together, and I wish you all the best on The Wheel of Time and in your other endeavors, whatever they may be. Sounds like GTIS is aggressively marketing WOT already, which should be great for all of the GT shareholders. I think the WOT website is excellent, and apparently GT will be involved somewhat in maintaining the site in the future? (I linked it to my profile, actually, and had to remove Disney's FLASH Mountain, for which I did receive some email complaints!!!)

wheeloftime.com

I have been following Glen Helgren's commentaries on the project, and he seems highly creative and very enthusiastic. Oh to be a gaming developer, sorta like seeing magic through the eyes of a child...must be very rewarding when things work out as planned, but must be temporarily very frustrating when the inevitable problems arise.

Of course, there would be lots of expenses at this point for both Legend and GT I'd imagine, and it seems that there won't be much in terms of revenues generated from WOT until next year, right? Still, based on all that I've read and heard, it is going to be quite a game and the excitement surrounding Epic's Unreal engine seems to be drawing lots of attention. All I can say is too bad Legend isn't public. <ggg>

<<GT will show the game behind closed doors at E3.>>

Is that an invitation?? Tee hee hee Do you think that GT would let me in behind those closed doors? RON - What do you say??? Can V. preview your next hit?? LOL! I might just have to settle for meeting old friends, huh? Speaking of which, Has anyone heard from Scoot lately?? (HI HON!! MISS YA!!)

And, for those who might not have seen the release, since you didn't link us to the PR (how modest!), here 'tis:

Finally, as for your "fix" - why thank you! I guess some of you bigtime gaming execs are actually quite complimentary of your adoring public, no? As to those "rumors" about me (how very funny!!!) I've simply been very busy lately (Oh no!) but since I would hate to be responsible for anyone (else's) insanity ;) I'll try to stay in touch periodically... <ggg> (Oh yes!?!?!)

xoxoxo,
V.

Michael,

Congratulations on GT's acquisition of Legend Entertainment! :) When do you think Unreal2 will be released? Do you think GT is planning a big marketing blitz for Wheel Of Time which is slated for completion this spring?!?! How does it feel to be working for someone after all these years being your own boss? ;) Can you tell us anything exciting that will make everyone want to buy more GT at these levels? :)

xoxo,
V.
