Dear Lord...


My friend worked at Legoland in one of the retail stores.  There was a big lamp post visible through the window, and he'd pass the time counting how many people walked into it every day.  He used to tell us stories of the ways people would walk into it, from just unceremonially walking straight into it, to walking into it backwards while talking on a cell phone.  The best one, though, goes like this:
Kid walks over to pole and rests against it for a minute.
Kid sits down to tie his shoelaces, still resting sideways against the pole.
Kid gets up and proceeds to immediately walk into the pole.

Anyway, that wasn't really related at all, but rode's post somehow reminded me of it.

Alright.
I found a guy who's heard of the game.
He said the store got a copy. A copy.
They only got one because they didn't think anyone would buy it. Why would you even bother? Come on.
Anyways, apparently someone took it out of his hands before he even put it on the shelf, and all kinds of people have been asking about it, much to his surprise.
They will be getting more copies soon. Yay!

Geez.  I've known about this game for ages now, so I've not been aware of the apparent lack of general knowledge about it.  Marketing departments like the one employed by Tri Synergy apparently are playing some part in the declining sales of adventures.  It's reassuring to hear that the retailer was getting requests for the game, though.

Yeah, when I went and saw Tony Tough on the shelves, I picked it right up.  I didn't want it dissapearing, and the guy at the counter was like, yeah, this is our only copy... nice find.

- No, I mean it's really STUCK. Like adventure-game stuck.

Well, I went back to the store on my way home tonight.
They had a copy.
A copy.
Now, I may just be, you know, assuming things here, but I find that very odd.
Anyways, I have it and they suck and that's that.
Yay me.

I didn't mind CSI, but it needed more of a plot.  I just recently got GK3 and that is very nice.  Post-Mortem was okay

But definetly Longest Journey and Cyberia
