The Tri-barrelled air-cooled velociraptor gun has been the NC ES weapon that's been in earliest development of the game. It was the first confirmed weapon we had for PS2 from Higby himself.

The weapon launches Velociraptors at your enemies and it eats them all.

A red Swingline stapler? With "Swingline" in silver in the side? With a satisfying heft; useful for stapling TPS reports, as well as bludgeoning people for not refilling the office coffee pot?

With some slight scratches on the left side? Likely made by its owner during years of happy stapling?

No. I haven't seen it.

It shouldn't be hard to outdo DICE during their interviews, podcasts etc back in pre-BF3 release days. They spent SO much time droning over "Is prone back!" in every single interview that it was obvious they had only authorized the interviewers to ask a very few questions.

Yeah, we can't actually find a record of you being a current employee here. I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that you were laid off five years ago and no one ever told you about it; but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, you still get a paycheck. So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch.

Does that AMAA mean, "Ask Me Anything Anytime" ?

The answer is in post #4 of this thread.

Though, to be fair. A little advice to Higby would be to adhere to typical AMA reddiquette and put AMAA. Ask me ALMOST anything.

Wouldn't want another rampart incident.
