Enough to show it's not pure joy.
That would be because I am winning!

"Everyone is an idea man. Everybody thinks they have a revolutionary new game concept that no one else has ever thought of. Having cool ideas will rarely get you anywhere in the games industry. You have to be able to implement your ideas or provide some useful skill. Never join a project whose idea man or leader has no obvious development skills. Never join a project that only has a web designer. You have your own ideas. Focus on them carefully and in small chunks and you will be able to develop cool projects."

Re: Last Post Standing, the sequel
Fans realize something Epic Games does not: that a robust 22-year-old franchise, while seemingly healthy, is in actuality as fragile as two bricks tied together with tissue paper. One mistake, one bad mis-step will cause the entire thing to shatter and fall apart; and the Unreal franchise would be ruined forever.
Fortunately, there is hope. The Unreal fanbase has resolved to remain ever vigilant against something that could Ruin Unreal Forever, and call out a warning if they see something that could potentially do so.
Some Unreal conservationists suggest a more extreme approach, that Unreal should abandon all attempts at re-invention and instead cater exclusively to the old-school players. Though attractive, this approach may prove impractical as a long-term solution.
Ruined Forever remains a serious threat to Unreal now and in the foreseeable future, though it's possible a proposed initiative requiring all Unreal fans to purchase servers for online play could ensure our fragile game's existence throughout the 21st century.
Things that ruined Unreal forever include, but aren't limited to...
* Multiplayer-only
** Assault!
* The expansion pack a.k.a. "the same but more"
** UMS weapons
** Intermission segments
* Space Maween Opera
** Mantling
** Lack of Unreal weaponry
* Microsoft exclusivity and Boost dodging
** Plastic graphics
** Lightning Guns
** Floaty physics and big-ass maps
** Tri-rox
** Football!
** No Assault!
* Vehicles
** Removing boost dodging
** See UT2003. It has the same.
* Third person view and more melee
** Raiden
** Character-specific abilities? Weight categories? Race-specific stuff? IT'S OVERWATCH! (nevermind that UC2 is older than OW)
* Respawners and Field Lattice Generators
** Necris vehicles
** ITLOOKZLIEKGIERZOFWUR
** No dodge jumping
** No manta running in vCTF
* The community ruining building it
** IT'S NOT UT99! WE WANT UT99 WITH BETTER GRAFIX!!!1!1!11!!1!
** CLAN ARENA WITH ITEMS IS NOT CLAN ARENA!!!1!1!11!!1!
** CTF AND ASSAULT SHOULD NEVER BE MIXED!!!1!1!11!!1!
** Epic abandoning it for another more successful game.
In other words... pretty much everything.

ProTip 1: anybody using the phrase "I'm a True Fan and You're Not!" is an obnoxious, self-centered, egotistical, elitist, narcissist douchebag.
ProTip 2: anybody who uses the "Royal We" when making a demand wants to pass their own opinion as everyone else's.
ProTip 3: Only the people that do nothing but criticize don't make mistakes. Do things. Make mistakes. Learn from them. And screw those who do nothing but throw poison and criticize.
ProTip 4: If the Duke Nukem Forever fiasco wasn't enough of a lesson, perfectionism leads to nothing positive. Don't be afraid of releasing a buggy product. Even the most polished product has its flaws.

That was Nordic Gold, a.k.a. Leprechaun's Gold a.k.a. Fake Gold.
