Shadowbane loves your money...but only in advance.
July 26th 2002, 09:39 CEST by Matt Perkins As see on Warcry, if you don't pre-order Shadowbane, you can't play 3 of the races in the game at the launch. Yes, the pre-order CD contain a code which will unlock restricted races (all three). This has to be the worst marketing ploy I've heard of. If they release a patch near the release of the game, it won't be so bad, but at release I'm going to look at the Shadowbane box and think, "Hey, they are fucking me over if I buy this box, why do I want to?". This method of marketing may be great for counting your chickens before the launch, but it's really saying, "you aren't hardcore enough to earn our respect, so, average joe, get screwed and don't even know it". Especially if they make you wait awhile after release. And if they don't, there will have been no reason to pre-order. This stinks of some marketing genius that was taking a hit off the crack pipe when they though this up. |

Oh, and about the uncultured palate: I have cultured my palate over many a shot of vodka and I still can't imagine how you can say Luksusowa is smooth. Yeugh. Possibly, the export stuff differs much from the dregs we get around here, as has been the case for many years. Damn you foreigners! I'm going to buy a bottle of Luksusowa and try it out on myself. "Please give us some face then."

Well, it's not just that one guy suing about fast food. And as always, The Onion nailed it prophetically. Truth is more pathetic than fiction. anybody on

|
So what does a fast food patch look like, a slice of cheese? |
|
WMA Yeah, right. I don't know about the export stuff you're getting over there in North America, but Luksusowa has never gained such a high status here in Poland. Okay, I might try it the next time, which will be around, uh, tomorrow. You're a big girl now, I think you can handle Luksusowa. I cannot tell if everyone in marketing is a polished, professional mormon, or just super-high on the coke dust.

PayPal doesn't suck. PayPal has never sucked. Also, Eastasia people smell funny. |

Yeah, I was going to ask about that. Is Morn open for business again? "It's pretty common for pussies, dumbasses, and their families to blame their problems on vague influences like the media and society. The truth is, fuck you."

Can I be a mormon, but not in marketing? I don't have the experience for the later. No longer must I sweep for you, for I am not your broom.
|
|
Morn, explain the difference between the donate and subscribe again? No longer must I sweep for you, for I am not your broom.

jjohnsen donate = one time, subscribe = recurring. "It's pretty common for pussies, dumbasses, and their families to blame their problems on vague influences like the media and society. The truth is, fuck you."

Cliff does your sig refer to fancy underwear polygamists or idiots in general? In general. jjohnsen Can I be a mormon, but not in marketing? I don't have the experience for the later. I'm sure Scott Miller can recommend some excellent correspondence marketing schools. I cannot tell if everyone in marketing is a polished, professional mormon, or just super-high on the coke dust.

I subscribed, and payed back through march, which is basically how long I've been wasting my time at this site. We're not "Whinny," either, "Looser".

It's saturday evenong, a bad time to forget how to spell good polish vodka, but I think it's something along the lines of kroleska. The stuff with the stained glass window bottle. iamelectro

Drunk, alone, in your underwear, posting on PlanetCrap ... life just doesn't get any better. "It's pretty common for pussies, dumbasses, and their families to blame their problems on vague influences like the media and society. The truth is, fuck you."
|
|
Wait... what if you are drunk, alone, in your underwear, and posting on PlanetCrap... at work! That's better... right? We're not "Whinny," either, "Looser".
-MCorleone |

check it out http://sbvault.ign.com/ moronic internet rumors are just that |
|
dammit |
|
I paid your filthy lucre Morn! And I still think t-shirts would be cool. No longer must I sweep for you, for I am not your broom.
|
|
What exactly are we looking at zarathustra, so I don't have to read the whole site? No longer must I sweep for you, for I am not your broom.

third times the charm |
|
posted the wrong link sorry |
|
its the front page about the topic...you know the big post at the top |
|
IT sounds like a pre-order, but you get something tangible to play with for a while. No longer must I sweep for you, for I am not your broom.

its a promo cd they sell, but the price is reduced from the game... |
|
my office smells like teriyaki iamelectro

Having a very hard time caring about the clearing up of the SB issue. I cannot tell if everyone in marketing is a polished, professional mormon, or just super-high on the coke dust.

Mmmmmmm...Planetcrap t-shirts Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one
|
|
I still want to make PC T-Shirts, but I do not want to use CafePress for that. Any recommendations? Hendrik "Morn" Mans • morn@planetcrap.com • admin/coder/lover/kraut

|
|
Gameskins? They've done a few of the other webcentric shirts. |
|
Gameskins does really nice shirts. Heavy and durable. |
|
Hey Morn, how about you design a T-shirt, let us download the graphics, and go through the hassle ourselves of printing our own damn T-shirts on our own damn time? Oh wait, then you don't get any money. Forget that then. |
|
Morn, just make sure one of the tshirt styles is black, so it can fit in to my Bailey-Approved NuMetal look. We're not "Whinny," either, "Looser".
-MCorleone |
|
I have never approved of NuMetal. Or you. But mostly the NuMetal is facing disapproval. I cannot tell if everyone in marketing is a polished, professional mormon, or just super-high on the coke dust.
|
|
I donated... and I'd buy a t-shirt if it was black or white. Though I probably wouldn't wear it, since I don't typically wear shirts with writing on them. But I'd buy it! -chris |
|
Gameskins does really nice shirts. Heavy and durable. I'll throw in a vote for GameSkins as well ... Every shirt I've bought from them has been well made and lasted a long time. "It's pretty common for pussies, dumbasses, and their families to blame their problems on vague influences like the media and society. The truth is, fuck you."

GameSkins is the new newegg. So, yes. -Jon

I want a sleaveless shirt! "Durr, bluh, shoving mini-snickers in my mouth as fast as mom can buy them." - Bailey
|
|
I've only bought one shirt from gameskins, but definately better than cafepress. I know I'm in the minority here, but maybe dark blue or white? No longer must I sweep for you, for I am not your broom.
|
|
Black. Like PC's soul ... "It's pretty common for pussies, dumbasses, and their families to blame their problems on vague influences like the media and society. The truth is, fuck you."
|
|
Yes! PC Wifebeaters will be all the rage! Or something... Who is driving car?! Oh my god, bear is driving car! How can that be?

Shouldn't it be gray, you know, like the website? Current market value of the Max Payne IP according to a comparison of the market capitalization of Take Two pre- and post- sale: approx. -$260,000,000.

I vote for a girly T-shirt option -- the smaller shaped kind -- since men's t-shirts look terrible on me. I'd buy it! "I can't drink POSSIBLE beers! I need ACTUAL beers! Damn you quantum physics!"

#68 Warren Marshall "I know a guy who worked in budget software and although the deadlines are ruthless, you can make a living at it if you can keep to your schedules." I've done freelance work for a budget software factory. It's not pretty. This place reminded me of what it's probably like to work making dresses and slacks for Kathy Lee Gifford in Singapore sweatshops. Yes, these people made a living. If you can really call that living.
