Richard Blade Quits the KROQ by
Jenn Kawakami
In his farewell appearance on 106.7's Flashback Lunch, Richard Blade
spoke of how his fake accent was real. Gamelord.org is sad to hear
of the news as he once explained his weekend to this legendary DJ.

The following may not be suitable for children
What am I supposed to do? He denies being homosexual and yet we
find these pictures. In these pictures, Willie and Julius are playing
dress up. Julius, of course, needs an outlet to come out of closet.
Ron Allen comments, "I know what they say about me, but them's
some gay ass pictures."

Ron's
Movie of the week
http://www.dvdempire.com/index.asp?userid=19815963561188
Sweet Mariah
C.
Mariah's sister
Alison is publishing a biography of her called Mariah and Me, in
which she reveals that she prostituted herself to help Mariah in
her career. "Mariah tells the world about five per cent of the truth
about herself," she said. "This book contains the other 95 per cent
-- everything a vain and heartless multimillionaire pop icon will
do anything not to have told." Ouch. Part 2 The British music magazine
Q is also slamming Mariah in the form of an article called "When
Rock Stars Go Crazy!" A former employee of Mariah's record company
had this to say about the singer: "Before checking into a hotel
she would demand a pink toilet roll, and that she drink out of crystal
glasses at all times." Part 3 She also insisted that a selection
of kittens and puppies be made available for her to pet on a recent
UK trip. Maria Hernadez wasn't availible for comments regarding
this story.

No
Ramon Herrera is an Island
989 is being absorbed back into SCEA and the wait for PD to ramp
back up is too much for the uprising Ramon Herrera. Digital Island
made an incredible offer to him along with the promise of a considerable
challenge and potentially unlimited growth. It is in the city were
he lives and pays really well. What more can he hope for? His last
day is 4/21. Congratulations to the ex-Inglewood inhabitant and
don't forget us.
The Truth Unveiled
In today's Fatbabies Forum, a person named Super Snoop and Sherlock
claim to know the identity of the fatbabies crew. The detectives
claim that after posting some accusations to the Fatbabies Forum,
they had their stories pulled and their IP addresses blocked from
the Forum. At first glance, Fatslicky seemed pretty cool and pushed
the accusations aside. However, further messages show a breaking
down of defenses and we may actually see Super Snoop and Sherlock
post the identities.

Please Help Julius
Julius is still smoking. Rumor has it that Jay(and anyone else)
is allowed to kick him on the shin every time he is caught smoking.
A management technique he learned from Ocean of America. I am sure
kicking Julius will prove more effective than "the patch" or hypnotism,
so we should all try and do our part.

Neil Musser
Promotion
As of 3/14/00, I am now a Level Layout Designer. and Gamelord.org
congratulates Neil Musser on his new promotion at 3DO. I wonder
if he's doing that Army Men stuff.
April Fools
Day, Baby!
It gets weirder and wierder. Rumors around SCEA are flying about
who the FatStory was written by. The latest is that Mark Pentek
may be the culprit. Many of you know that he was the king of complainers
and held no fondness for anyone, especially Producers, at 989 Studios.
His strange departure from SCEA only weeks after his promotion to
Director and then to take a lesser job at another company makes
this whole theory, food for thought.
Jet-X Email
I just received an email from Jet-X.com
"Having just read the story over on Fatbabies.com (they actually
updated their website..???), I can't help but chuckle with amusement.
Sure, I think overall it was pretty funny story, what story on their
site isn't (when they actually update it). But not only are there
gross errors (obvious errors that could have been easily checked
for accuracy), the story really just skims the surface of events
that took place at 989. That leads me to the next point that will
disappoint those that read it: Jet-X had nothing to do with the
story. I know that is dissappointing for some readers, and it's
easy to see where the finger could have been pointed at me (ahem.....the
"event" that took place last week). But, those who have been in
the industry a reasonable amount of time know how small it is, and
how easy it is to become "black-listed" with other companies. And
I for one would never have named names, especially our former President.
We've seen what Kelly is capable of, and that in and of itself is
reason enough not to get involved. Kelly is like the "Terminator",
you live in fear of him (if he knows who you are!) no matter where
he is ! As the Gamelord pointed out, there were a lot of errors
in the story, and was vague at best. While Jet-X didn't have anything
to do with the story, we're also NOT going to begin pointing fingers.
After all, it sucks having your name plastered everywhere with bad
publicity, and Jet-X won't contribute to it. Besides, Jet-X has
no idea who it could be. There is certainly enough employees (current
and ex-) as well as the other building that could have contributed
some information. Regardless, there are some (you know exactly who
you are!) that have already placed blame, tried, and convicted Jet-X
regardless of the truth. Shame on you. Besides, I think the question
on everyone's mind is what was the point with the whole Phil Harrison
thing anyway ? "Jet-X can't post this info on our site, otherwise
I'll get 1,000 emails from plane geeks asking if this response is
really a hidden code for a new release by Jet-X"

Addendum
to Sherri Suto Avoids Cops story
Sherri Claims that the story printed earlier was not entirely true.
Sherri claims that Dave Lee is responsible for the pull-over because
he was asked to see if any cars were around but he said no and failed
to see a cop that was only 2 feet away? Talk about blind! Plus Sherri
had some visitors from Japan in her car and they thought it was
hilarious and wanted to take pictures of the cop.
Gamelord.org
Rebuts FatBabies.com Accusations
There are many reasons why I am doing this and one of them is to
show and prove that I am and never will be associated with fatbabies.com.
Although, one day I vow to find out who they are. Do you want to
hear Gamelord.org's side of the Full Story?

New Room at SCEA
The artist formerly known as 989 studios (SCEA now) has been the
talk of the town as the first wave of lay-offs begins today. Brian
Wiklem, Kevin Tanimoto, and Perry Rodgers are the first victims.
The only good news in all this is that this frees up extra space
for the new hires that SCEA will see in production. The person that
Ron Allen was hired instead of can now be hired and Gamelord.org
is proud to see that he finally will make it to Sony. And I'm sure
Ron's happy since he stole the job from him in the first place....

Sony Online Entertainment making the move
After Dave Woldman left SOE, SOE knew that things could only get
better. And purchased the company known for Everquest, Verant. SOE
will probably shut down all Production in Los Angeles and move everything
to San Diego, the home of Verant. Among other rumors, SOE may have
new players from 989 Studios. What that means for Don Vercelli,
I don't know.

Rob Hernandez sent to Free Agency
A long time veteran in 3rd Party QA was sent into free Agency about
2 weeks ago for making a long distance phone call. Sources close
to the situation say that he used his own phone card to call and
never even charged it to Sony. Not only did his fingers do the walking,
so did he.

It's

that same boyhood charm. It comes as no surprise that he drives
his Camaro SS to work everyday and has incredible taste in movies.
Controversy over the picture exists due to the fact that the pictured
child has a better head of hair than Ron.

out at www.mp3.com/TheDBO
It's called "With Man Came War" I'm going to write some Japanese
lyrics and have them sung in a choir like style. I just have to

So to everyone wondering where my updates are regarding how to sleep
on the job,...Sorry,..but I've noticed now that most people know
how already,..and I can learn a few things from everyone else on
the subject :) Anyhow,..I put a few new peces that I'm working on
at MP3.com,... if you have some time check them out, they aren't
great pieces,..but they are ideas I'm toying with when I stray from
working,..or gearing up the computer. I'll probably be regularly
updating this stuff, and try to get a basic library of music up
there for everyone to hear.. Maybe even some Voice/Comedy skits.
And don't eat too much snow this season all you trendy extreme sports
freaks... Click here for link.
