Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) A Christmas Fable

With Christmas fast approaching,
I don't know what to do...
My friends all ask me what I want,
And I want DD2!
"It isn't out", they tell me,
As patient as can be,
"How about an iPod?"
I whimper quietly.

Santa Claus is not amused
With all my silly pouts.
He says "Have faith, my child.
Cast off your foolish doubts!
You know the game developers
Are surely not to blame
For taking all the time they need
To make a worthwhile game."

"You want no less," he added,
And smiled at my chagrin.
He had me there... I knew,
Of course, my gripes were pretty thin.
"Okay," I mumbled, "yeah, you're right!
I want some brilliant play."
Santa laughed, but kindly,
And headed for his sleigh.

The reindeer were all set to go,
And mounted to the skies
Bearing Santa on his rounds,
When much to my surprize
I heard his voice cry, full of cheer:
"Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
And never you fear,
For 2008 will be Larian's Year!"

Hi Rincewind

Thanks for your Christmas Fable.
I guess you don't have time to come frequently in the forum.
For me, it's a Christmas present to have some news from you.

I have so much work doing the job of the school director since 3 months, that i can't imagine it just remains 2 days before Christmas.

Have fun everybody.
Love

Thanks a lot Lews.

@ janggut

No it's not really a promotion.
The school's headmaster got very ill and he stopped working in september 2007.
A substitute headmaster was needed for several months and i have been choosed to do the job.
In France for being a headmaster, there is a recruitment by competition and it's not easy.
So i am still a teacher playing a headmaster character in a RPG game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />

Barta

Likewise, dearest President! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> I hope that your work pressures ease soon, so that you can enjoy life a bit more... (and perhaps have more time for the forums. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

Me? Yes, busy at work, but mostly just finding myself with nothing of interest to say... and thinking it best, therefore, to keep quiet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />



Thanks, janggut! Hope you will be able to spend more time here in the months to come. Be well! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
