Dr. Dew: 50/50 blend of Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew

Plan:

I'd just like to make a short announcement about the direction we'll be
taking with the musical score on Opposing Force. We've dropped the
ambient-techno-trance-style music of the original game, and have decided
to go with 100% hardcore beat box, featuring the vocal talents of Randy
"Grandmaster Phat" Pitchford. It's widely known that Randy was a talented
magician before entering the ranks of game development, but very few people
are aware of the fact that he was actually the fourth member of the popular
'80s group "Fat Boys." We realize this is a bold move for the type of
game we're making, and that many people may disagree with such a drastic
change in genre. However, I assure you that once you've heard Randy's dope
beats in the context of the game, you'll want to bust out your Members Only(tm)
jacket and your parachute pants every time you fire up Half-Life. As a
testament to the viability of beat box in action games, the one and only
Valve Software is rumored to be featuring the beat box grooves of their own
Gary McTaggart on the upcoming release of Team Fortress 2.


On an unrelated note, Sean failed to mention in his uncalled-for slight of my
Re-Volt skills that his victory came long before I achieved the level of
"Genuine Ass Kicker" in the game. I can assure everyone that I truly have 'da
mad skillz necessary to take down anyone here in the office in a straight-up
match of Re-Volt. And, being the modest guy that I am, I won't even mention
the superiority I've established in Worms Armageddon.
