Richard Garriott Bids Farewell To NCsoft
4:10AM Mike Fahey | Man, a guy fulfils his lifelong dream of going into space and suddenly has more important things to do than work on his video game? Richard “Lord British” Garriott announced today that he will be leaving NCsoft, the company behind his recent MMORPG Tabula Rasa, to pursue other interests. I am very grateful to you loyal players for sticking around through what I think we can all honestly say was a rough launch. I thank the development team for pushing hard to get polish, updates and new content out every month since launch…a feat that I think is unusual in MMO development. They have a lot to be proud of. Many of you probably wonder what my plans are, now that I have achieved the lifelong dream of going to space. Well, that unforgettable experience has sparked some new interests that I would like to devote my time and resources to. As such, I am leaving NCsoft to pursue those interests. More »

It’s short, to the point, and shows his father, retired NASA astronaut Owen Garriott, carrying his son in a basket for the first time in 45 years. You go, Space Garriott.

Richard Garriott Sends Cryptic Message From Space
11:20AM Stuart Houghton | You know, they say sometimes people go CRAZY on these long trips. They get the, eh… SPACE MADNESS. Not plucky Lord British, though. No, the good lord is safe in his heaven and has found the time to transmit a coded message of hope to us earth-bound types. The multisquillionaire held up a card containing the message shortly after reaching orbit – the message is encoded in Logos Elements – the fictional runic system used in Garriott’s game Tabula Rasa. Fans of the game have now decoded the runes and found it to be a quote – hit the jump to see what Lord British thinks we ought to know.

12:40AM Mike Fahey | Well damn. First the Harmonix folks don’t actually make it onto their promised appearance on The Colbert Report, and now Lord “Richard Garriott” British’s appearance is actually just a phone call from Russia, where he is preparing a knapsack full of DNA to bring with him on his historic journey into space. So while we don’t get to see Stephen’s reaction to Garriott’s majestic rattail, at least we did get to hear him chat with Richard about his testicles, and that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?
