Is Ragnar Tornquist Alive?

Kingzjester · 03-16-2004, 01:21 PM

Ten days and no blog? Maybe he slipped and fell into a ditch and hit his head and lost his memory and is wandering through Japan not knowing where he is or what he is supposed to be doing there, let alone whence he came? The horror... the HORROR...

ragnar · 03-16-2004, 01:29 PM

Perhaps he is (for once) actually working on Dreamfall?

Geez, it's friggin Poll Central around here lately...

whats the url for the blog?

Maxwell Horse · 03-16-2004, 01:54 PM

LOL

I love this thread topic. Yeah, as someone who is greatly anticipating TLJ 2, I'm getting pretty antsy about the fact that his blog hasn't been updated in a disturbingly long time. I figure he's either having the time of his life in Japan, or he was hit by a bus.

Yeah, instead of sitting idly at his monitor waiting to see if people like Kingz have checked to see if he's written any entries yet.

Ah yes, I once knew a girl who worked there, before they shut the place down of course.

I hate your guts.

It seems to me you could've had a lot more fun with this poll. Like, you could've listed all the various things that might have happened to him.

1) Slipped in the tub.

2) Lying in a ditch.

3) Finally all those gambling debts caught up with him and he was paid a visit by Fat Tony, his friendly neighborhood pizzeria owner.

4) He hasn't bought any new DVD's starring grown men who wear capes and spandex lately, and he hasn't watched any new episodes of whatever the hell the current hit nerd show is on Fox or UPN or the WB, and thusly, saw no compelling need to update his blog, because Lord knows no one actually wants news updates about how the Longest Journey game is coming along.

Ha, ha. Just some friendly ribbing with that last one, Ragnar.

5) He failed to pay his Internet bill.

6) He stopped posting from fear of Kingz's continuous stalking of him.

7) The lifesize 3D poster of April Ryan that had been tacked on the ceiling directly above his vibrating waterbed detached and fell off, while he was 'admiring' it in bed, and sharp tacks punctured the bed and he drowned in all that water.

Maxwell Horse · 03-16-2004, 03:32 PM

8) After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, he decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC.

Just had to add that one.

10) he's stuck in an awesome obstacle course.
