Joe here: Thanks for spending a bit of the past (quick - do the math; 25 - 6... hmmm. You can't take 6 from 5, 5 is less than 6, so you take 1 from the 2 in the 10's place; that makes 15 and you take away 6, that's 9 leaving a 1 in the 10's plus 9, that makes: ...) 19 years with us! I hope you've become a productive member of society. If not - if, perhaps, you're writing this question from prison having committed a series of violent and despicable crimes, then clearly video games are to blame and let this be a warning to you kids! DON'T PLAY VIDEO GAMES! Or perhaps you're the CEO of an environmentally friendly swimwear company and good for you! Clearly video games are to blame! PLAY LOTS OF VIDEO GAMES KIDS! Anyway, I have to admit to being a tad underwhelmed at the way EA chose to end Kane's storyline in C&C. Had I been in those development meetings, I probably would have pushed for something much more ... i don't know ... more ... interesting? Violent? Musical? Something. As for the collection: I don't really know. I'm honestly not aware of what bundles are out there. Since I don't receive any per-unit royalties, I just don't care.

TLDR: Meh and I dunno.

Joe here: Yeah - guess I was the only one planning out a lengthy, personally lucrative crossover franchise. Red Alert was meant to be a quick one-off using the C&C engine and cramming in some new art. It was envisioned as a prequel to the original C&C, but its (surprising) popularity meant developing its own storyline, universe and characters. The Kane connection was quickly forgotten and thus I missed my chance to perform, years later, with Jonathan Pryce.

TLDR: I got screwed.

Joe here: Thanks for the kind words! I'm very pleased to see that my publicist at the time, a 12-year old Mexican boy named "Giacomo" was able to send you such a memorable email. That crazy Giacomo - he was ALWAYS such a scamp, turning down offer after offer! That's must be why I never managed to appear on Real Housewives of Las Vegas... You know, I'd love to be more involved in the industry. Right after EA shipped C&C3 I set up a few meetings in LA with agencies that purported to be interested in new media. I couldn't get them to even understand who (and what) I WAS ("No, I don't just do voiceover. Here, take a look at this fansite. No, I'm not a motion captured animation. Here, just take a look at this documentary footage. NO, i'm NOT a hedgehog or a plumber! For God's sake, just take a look at this wiki!). But it was next to impossible. I'm kind of the only guy who's done this thing and is what I is. How do you sell that to and industry that sells a different sort of celebrity? At any rate, I'd LOVE to be acting in each and every cheesy, sci-fi babble-filled cringe-a-thon out there: Sharknado Vs Squidphoon? YES! TREK WARS 6: THE SEARCH FOR BABYLON FARSCAPE? YOU BET! I love that stuff and it's fun, fun, fun! Dear Hollywood: and I'm a joy to work with!

TLDR: I need to have David Silverman review this post.
