Comment by Jeff Rothe on March 26, 2009 at 12:15am: As of tonight, I pared down the Owen Rubin chat to just the questions and answers. I emailed Owen on March 5th to review the transcript, but never heard back. I gave him some time, and now went ahead in paring it down. I emailed him tonight, and am hoping he will get back with me soon so we can either get this on Rotheblog.com or into Gameroom Magazine in the coming months....

Comment by Bill Jr. on March 11, 2009 at 6:10pm: Anyone want a copy of the full transcript as it sits paypal $500 to... ;)

Comment by Jeff Rothe on March 11, 2009 at 3:59pm: The Owen chat transcript is coming. Owen expressed some concern about republishing some of the information, so I am waiting for him to review the document and let me know what can be reprinted and what can't.

This may / may not be the last transcript. The chat no longer supports an easy way to retain the text.

Comment by Jeffrey Matthews on February 25, 2009 at 5:46pm: Jeff;
I was lucky enough to get the last 20 minutes. I'm hoping that I get a chance to get the transcript if one becomes available so I can read all the stuff I missed.
Do you intend on making one available?
Thanks
Jeff

Comment by Jeff Rothe on February 25, 2009 at 8:58am: Did you end up making it back Jeff? I can't remember if I saw you there in the long list or not....

Thanks Rory. Where you there? You have such a distinct Avatar and I don't remember seeing it in the list...

Comment by Matt Fisher on January 23, 2009 at 2:55pm: Major Havoc=all time great. Also responsible for the erupting volcano in Battlezone, if memory serves...
