Well, I met quite a few people last Friday at CGDC Austin.  That's about as
much "hobnobbing" as I can take until E3 rolls in.
 JF> Ah yes, "The Artist Formerly Known as Bobby Prince."  :-)  Of

 JF> haven't heard much of him lately, not since Xenophage at least.
He says he's doing Internet-based stuff.  Don't know what.
 JF> Purple Motion?  I don't remember ANY of their work.  Got any examples?
Well, Death Rally comes to mind.  One of our games.  PM was famous before
that, mainly for demo music (Second Reality, Panic, etc.).
 JF> I hate to fuel the file for your side of the argument, but what about
 JF> Sonic Mayhem?  While I wouldn't say their Quake II work is
 JF> spectacular, it isn't bad - and they're the only people so far who
 JF> have released game music AFTER the fact.
It's okay.
 LJ> No, it isn't.
 JF> Is this towards the "general enough" aspect, or the "special
 JF> treatment?"
It referenced the "general enough" aspect, in that the question wasn't
general enough for me to be able to answer it.
