HE'S GONE! YAY!!!!!!!!!
Let's hope the next one can resurrect Sierra. Although given that they are still owned by Havas or whatever they are calling themselves today, I don't have high hopes.

It's nice to know they still have people left to make them redundant.

Well, I can now cross #2 off my "things I want to accomplish before I die" list.
The moral of the story? Never piss off a vorlon.
I think that's all of them, isn't it? Jack? Randy? JW?

One of the Dev's brought this one up, and I thought you'd all get amusement from this particularly fitting quote...
[quote]"I don't have to lift a finger, and I still get to watch you die! I find this most amusing."
-- G'Kar (to Londo) in Babylon 5:"Convictions"[/quote]
(For those who don't remember, this is the episode where Londo and G'Kar are trapped in an elevator on B5 as the result of a terrorist bombing.)

That episode (with G'Kar and Londo in the elevator) started out as an episode I hated, but by the end of it, it was one of my favorites.
Basically, the episode started with a cliche: Two enemies stuck in a situation in which only teamwork will get them out. It's been done and overdone...but the kick is, it ALWAYS ends with the two enemies helping each other. Then along comes JMS and turns the premise on its ear. G'Kar refuses to help Londo and they almost die...that was wonderful, and only helped to reiterate the great quality of B5 writing.
Londo, "There you see, I am going to live."
G'kar, "So it would seem. Well it is an imperfect universe."
Londo, "Bastard."
G'kar, "Monster."
Londo, "Fanatic!"
G'kar, "Murderer!"
Londo, "You are INSANE!"
G'kar, "And that is why we'll win."
Londo, "Go and be the ambassador to Babylon 5. It will be an easy assignment. Oh, I hate my life."
G'kar, "So do I."
Londo, "SHUT UP!"
G'kar, "As the humans say, Up yours! die." and laughing.
A little bittersweet, but great news none the less.
