The unlikeliest of packages showed up in the mail today housing a playable Library demo level of Ghostbusters for Xbox 360 and an equipment checklist. Think about that for a second. Just two days ago newly formed Activision Blizzard did not include Ghostbusters on their fall release schedule and confirmed they would be shopping it to other publishers for release sometime next year.

This package, however, was over-nighted to explicitly arrive today. It doesn't take a seasoned mathematician to deduce the package was sent *after* Activision Blizzard pulled the plug. And yes, they are the senders, signed "The Evil PR Ninja Monkey." No, I can't make that stuff up.

 

I thought it was cancelled or delayed.

They've probably decided that it will fetch a higher price if previews hit the market. Either that or someone in the company is hoping enough demand from fans will result in it actually being finished.

It's a big mess right now and is being handled very poorly. Oh well, I lost interest a while ago.

I thought I read that Activision put Ghostbusters in a state of limbo and that they wouldt be the ones publishing the game?

So if theres enough public interest in the game perhaps another publisher might pick up Ghostbusters. I thought I read something like that.

This game is a train wreck waiting to happen, mark my words. Is there actually a new Ghostbusters movie coming out (I have heard rumors both ways)? That is the only way this game will have a chance, even if it is good.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
