(Well, okay actually the printer is still finagling things for a few days while they double-check all the files... But in the meantime you can feel free to peruse our stuff and even order the game if you wish.)
While you're waiting, please feel free to view our launch movie! We paid a huge sum using the latest 16mm film technology to make these babies! Enjoy...
My operation's man, Jon C Ripkoff, has taken a
little quiet time out of his busy schedule to give you all a few pearls
of wisdom on the "circle of life... and debt". I suggest you pay
attention.
These are the kind of things that matter in life.
(Somebody get me my cardiologist, damnit!)

It's been a year since I sent my operations man, Jon C Ripkoff, on an
extended assignment from his field office. A man of many words, thoughts
and ideas, Jon tells it straight... the way they used to before the
corporate world succumbed to this bizarre disease of groupthink. Damn,
it's hard to find good men like him...
Where's my cigar, gawdamnit!

John C Ripkoff and I came from the same neck of the woods... North Ontar-EYE-OH... In fact, John C did some work in land surveying, while I did work in lake surveying (of all things)... And we cut our teeth in work on these big, northern projects... before coming to The Big Smoke to make things happen.
Anyway, here is a great song that captures the spirit of these ventures up north...
This was a time when people made value in a company through blood, sweat and tears... Long gone days now...
I know there are a lot of Bright Ideas floating around in this office now about "Big Data" and other stuff like that. Just want to point out that, as long as you're employed in the Ripkoff empire, you will not let those kind of newfangled whatzizs mesmerize you too much. Take it with a grain of salt.
Repeat: You WILL go down to the trenches and sample it with your own eyes.
You WILL get experts who know what needs be done down there - with no highfalutin' MBA abstraction bullshit.
You WILL listen to and learn from the kind of "war stories" you think are boring.
Yes I know Mr Ripkoff is disconnected from the rest of us, and somehow the news gets sweetened as it rises to the top of the Ripkoff Tower, but as long as I'm here, this ship will be run with an ear to the ground.
Very seriously,
