Wieso postet nun jeder in seiner Muttersprache, statt sich auf Englisch auszudrücken? :-?
Ei, a tai raiau anglikai!
Tak, ale teraz piszesz po litewsku a nie po angielsku!
I was almost able to decipher your sentence! Slawish languages are all very similar. Pretty clear that angliskai = angielski (in Polish), which means English, and ei is ei which means as much as hey.
Then I had to give up and use Google Translate. lol
And to get back on topic:
Does that mean he gave up on being president of Epic or did he completely retire?

Hey, it's a Baltic language, not a Slavic one. Though we did share the country with Poland at one point.
And he simply demoted himself, he is still in Epic.

As a Futurama fan, I had to laugh when I read that the new president will most likely be Farnsworth... Just concluding: Epic's rival is... Wornstrom!
That language talk made me wonder how the Skaarj "language" is (one big empire with just one language and several dialects or several different languages).
And what would be the difference between Graaargh and Graaargh?

Graaargh is an adverbe denoting disbelief. Root : old White Teeth clanic "Gr-rg/Gr-hg" (Common use - Noble case, White Teeth clanic has been reconstructed as a case-language depending on social rank). Can be found in expressions like "Guruk Hjrk; Graaargh?" (How shocking!), "Vdrk harkAR Graaargh" (What did you just say?) and can be used as a disjonctive interjection. "-Nbutok Haragath- -Graaargh!" (-this picture is not authentic... -You don't say?!).
Graaargh is an appreciative modal tool also used as a noun. Root : Demon Fangs slang for "Gouragh rahargfh" (I did have an intimate relationsip with the queen of your clan). Still in use on seven worlds beyond the Tarydium Belt. Mostly obsolete (archaïc). Examples : "Graaargh!" (I do not agree), "Graaargh (as you wish you idiot), or constructions similar to "Vrokt Szelrepretz Vrlik Graaargh" (This queen has a very fine lower-body).
Did you mean Garaargh - Arghaaa - Hurgh ?

Ground Branch on kickstarter failed, I know exactly which one you guys are talking about. It's pretty tough to finish a game with the UDK, which is why Independant companies rarely succeed. You only laid down one UDK Title so far.

Speaking of which, it turns out that ex-Unreal mapper T. Elliot Cannon (a.k.a. Myscha the Sled Dog) works at Tripwire Interactive - Who developed Red Orchestra 1 and 2 as well as the standalone version of Killing Floor, and they also published The Ball as a standalone game.

Well, maybe - I didn't really check what work did he do on KF and RO2, but if you want to check, maybe look at some of the levels in Killing Floor and see for yourself! XD
