EOFF is mentioned in a book!

[vorpal blade]

I was reading a book called Game Development Essentials, by
Jeannie Novak, a great book if you're interested in the gaming business but not part of it yet. Well, near the end of the book (one of the last chapters) there is a small section on how to get info on games. The bottom left corner of the page shows a picture of EOFF as an example. I was quite suprised.

[Polaris]

we'll be famous:jokey: :jokey: :jokey: :jokey: :jokey: :jokey:

[Rainecloud]

Can you scan the page in for us?

[Shaun]

EoFF as a place to get info on games!? ROFL! :lol:

[fire_of_avalon]

Uh. That's not legal.

[Roogle]

Um. That's not illegal.

[Sergeant Hartman]

We're in the making.

[Raistlin]

Uh. That's not legal.

Why not? Is viewing the front page of EoFF something you have to pay for? If it showed content that had to be paid for, there'd be a legal argument. If it was even just private and you had to register for it, maybe. But it's public and free.

[XxSephirothxX]

That's pretty nifty. How new is the book? I'm curious if it's the new EoFF style or the classic blue one.

[boys from the dwarf]

well it is true that were all awesome so i think EoFF deserves this.

[Bahamut2000X]

OMG free publicity! We're going straight to the top baby! :D

[bipper]

Uh. That's not legal.

Uhm, I think they mean scanning the page out of a copyrighted book is illegal. I have this book, and never freakin noticed this.... I will check it out when I get home.

Unless they mean scanning the page and posting it here.

Nobody will mind. If they do, we'll tell them it was scanned in and posted by accident.

Oh... well yeah, then yes. xD I thought foa was referring to the book referencing EoFF. USE QUOTES FOA, if that's what you meant. :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

[Levian]

Jeannie Novak, eh. Nice pseudonym you got going on there, Raist. :greenie:

[McLovin']

They must have pressed enter instead of delete...

[Peegee]

Do it anyway. Don't take credit

say

look what I found on the interwebs!

[Loony BoB]

It's only a breach of copyright worth their time to investigate if it will affect them financially in some way. I don't think this will be. Scan! :p

[Rye]

Award Guy! Back in your hole! >=(

[theundeadhero]

THAT should bring in the newbies.

[oddler]

Very interesting. I agree. Scan that sucker.

[Decessus]

First the back of a magazine.
THEN THE WORLD.

[~*~Celes~*~]

o.O seriously? That's cool! I wanna see it!

[XxSephirothxX]

We were in EGM about two years ago. And it was even towards the *front* of the magazine!

[rubah]

Did they ask permission before including it? That sounds like terrible ettiquette. Sites aren't made by [just] robots after all!

[Decessus]

Sites aren't made by [just] robots after all!

You say that because you don't know that you're the only one here who isn't a robot.

I've said too much.
Buy at Ebay.

[rubah]

well then by my act of contributing to the forums, which is a site, then I've made my prophecy come true, so :Pppppppppp~~~

[Evastio]

Whether it's legal or illegal the author should've asked permission from an administrator to mention this site in a book. I think.

That's still awesome. :D Out of all the FF Forums out there they mentioned EoFF.

[Yamaneko]

You can scan the page in the book and call it fair use.

[Avarice-ness]

Yeah I wanna see the page. :(

It's like on Elf when Buddy see's santa and is all "I KNOW HIM!"

I wanna be able to go that with EOFF. ; ;

[fire_of_avalon]

wtf why did I say legal? I meant proper. Cid should have been told that his content was going to be sourced because SHE'S making money from it. It's just the nice thing to do in publishing.

and SHUT UP RAISIN OMF

[Hearts]

I'd like to see this. :D

[Spawn of Sephiroth]

yeah, me too. I would love to see this!!:choc2:

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

What? EoFF is the only party standing to benefit from the situation. No one is buying this lady's book because of its awesome Eyes on Final Fantasy coverage. Lay off the moonshine, you drunkard.

[fire_of_avalon]

You'd be so proud, baby, about ten minutes ago, I asked my friend "Is I is?" I didn't even know what I was trying to say.

[rubah]

I know what you meant foa, deep down in your secret booty-kickin' heart.

Just because EoFF is better off for it doesn't mean they oughtn't've asked first!

[Psychotic]

Are you sure the book wasn't called "The World's Greatest Freakshow"?

[DarkLadyNyara]

Are you sure the book wasn't called "The World's Greatest Freakshow"?

that's what I'd want to know. :lol:

I'd like to see this, too. Scan, scan, scan! :D

[Araciel]

very interesting...i knew this was a good site but i wouldn't expect it to be in print, aside from perhaps some kind of story about a morals charge in the paper

[Loony BoB]

Psh, like we'd have said no.

[Madame Adequate]

I note a distinct absence of it having been scanned yet.

Are you sure the absence is not in your pants? :bigsmile:

But seriously, it'd be pretty cool to see the page. :)

[Madame Adequate]

Oh, snap.

Except for the members on this site who prolly flocked to Amazon.com last night :(

[Elite Lord Sigma]

Wow, I thought this site was about as famous as one of the Phys. Ed teachers at the local middle school. Somebody get the scan of it, please.

Also, does anybody have a picture of it being mentioned in EGM?

That's not the point!

What if someone had videotaped you without you knowing and put you on an epsiode of World's Best Hair. Wouldn't you like to be informed?!

[Jojee]

Bipper has the book >=( SCAN IT BIPPER :p

[Jojee]

Oh, that's barely a sentence :( And it has no pictures.

[Decessus]

Our next goal is THE WORLD.

You don't think I'm undershooting, do you? I honestly think we can shoot for more.

[Skarr]

Yeah well despite their being no picture of eoff in EGM, that's how discovered Eoff and I always look at that page from time to time and say..."This happened cause you damnit." :)

[vorpal blade]

First, I'd like to say how suprised I am that there are so many posts. Wow. Second, I can't scan it because it's at the bookstore, where i read it without buying it. And the picture showed the site in a grayish color. Could've been blue, and the book is copyright 2005. And there was barely mentioned; less than the EGM mentioning, in fact.
Bipper should confirm and/ or explain. And scan.

[~*~Celes~*~]

Yeah, Bipper, scan! :)
