Ha! Funny. It's a quote from Entourage.

I believe there was a thread or two about who or which board name was actually Mr. Shooter. The I AM SHOOTER is a tribute to the hours we spent trying to uncover a mystery within an enigma within a puzzle which turned out to be a rumor.

Hey! Someone post a link to that thread in this section if they still have it.
I actually thought your post was funny, even without knowing the history.

I think it's too early to start, really, but if you really want to start stockpiling questions I have no objections... I just won't raise them with him until we have more data on which to base the questions -- IMO, another 20 will have to be interesting to more than just our merry band -- but it's something I do expect to do down the line a bit.

Actually I should be seeing Jim over the weekend, and I'll make sure he knows we'll be (more than) ready by the time they do any press.

As expected, when Jim is further along on the project he'll be glad to answer more questions.

I think it's much too late in the year to solicit this and get it out in 2009. They would want to do some major hype and give the book as much lead time as possible. Probably Spring 2010 ... I'll say March :thumb: Can't wait to get excited for the pre-promo hype though :clap:

I guess the lawsuit may have diminished the chances of another interview with Shooter about how things are going at Dark Horse for now. :|

I haven't queried Herr Shooter about this in a long time, but I'll do so!

Are you guys up for it if I can arrange it with Dark Horse and him?
