Rune is nuts enough for it I guess we should be more kind than accusatory, given the fact that he's a puir, wee, daft useless Chicago Suburbs Napoleon. Except that his hand's tucked in a bit lower, ya' ken, than is typical for a depiction of Napoleon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take away all the flouncing, poncing, mugging for the camera's, and adjusting his belt while shouting 'Mr. Christian', and he's just another megalomaniac with an NDA in his hands welcoming them into his house of 'CMAK Previews', now isn't he?

We aren't given the option of 'previewing' in Minnesota because we're not a fair sampling. BFC wants to get the take of the 'common man', as it were, and we are, as a State, so far beyond that that it skews the customer data. If you weigh things properly, then accepting impressions from a State with a surplus of intelligence, education, and knowledge will, by necessity, throw off the interpretation of whether your game appeals and works even to the lower 2/3s of the population. Minnesota isn't used for beta testing for the same but opposite reason that Texas isn't used. You have to ignore the 'high end', that is, Minnesota, where your games are totally understood and do well, and you don't look for realistic input from Texas, or the 'low end', where the fact that they can actually install the game onto their Hard drives is a sort of victory of the Human Spirit. This is why neither Minnesota nor Texas has hosted previews. We're simply too above the average, and Texas is too, too on the end of 'Lookee here, bubba, I got that damn game loaded' to count towards any realistic appraisal. So places like Illinois host a lot of previews. Everyone there is almost astonishingly 'average'. I imagine songs have been written about it.

rune Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I might create evil scenarios, I may perhaps, even ring the bell, but who else buys for his guests, a Bottle of 12 year old single malt scotch [Glenfiddich] that cost more then you average wage for a lawngnome for a month? Who else supplies REAL beer, like DAB, Corona Extra, Pilsner, and etc? Who else supplies pizza while watching Berli fight JasonC in the desert? Who else sends you a screenshot showing you after Berli was done with your likeness? Who else has made a scenario featuring Peng's pod farm, and Mace's sheep farm? [a co-design with Berli] Now go forth and scrub the deck, or i'll have you keel hauled. There will be no mutiny on my ship. Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpkr Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Scene: A brightly lit kitchen table in a new suburban home. The stars twinkle brightly outside the bay windows. In the home, an attractive woman sits at the table, grading papers. Metallic Female Voice: "Front Door." A tall, slightly rotund man walks through the door carrying a black briefcase. MrSpkr: grumbles "Stinkin' annoying alarm." brightens as his wife comes into view "Hi honey! I'm home!" A swarm of young children appear as if by magic. Shouts of joy erupt from them. . . . Some time later, after supper, football practice, cheerleading practice, putting the children to bed, calling and setting up an interview with a nanny, and light housekeeping, children's baths, bedtime stories, and tucking-ins while away the evening hours, MrSpkr and MrsSpkr sit on the couch in the living room. MrSpkr: "So, like I told you on the phone this afternoon, I think I might head to Chicago this weekend." MrsSpkr: "You were serious about that? I thought Terry had finally put a wet bar in your office. Why Chicago? Why this weekend?" MrSpkr: "Umm . . . Something to do, dear." MrsSpkr: "Something to do? We have lots to do here. Philip has a football game -- the first in the playoffs--" MrSpkr: "I thought he had a bye this week?" MrsSpkr: "Oh, that's right. Liz has her birthday party, though --" MrSpkr: "Birthday party? Her birthday was last week!" MrsSpkr: "Yes, well, she wanted to have several other teenagers over to help paint her room. I was counting on you to watch the babies, but I guess it would be okay to leave eight thirteen year old girls with a couple of gallons of paint in our new home." MrSpkr: "But, umm, honey . . . I really wanted to go to Chicago this weekend." MrsSpkr: "Then go. Who's stopping you? I don't think the paint would stain the carpet or vinyl flooring too badly." MrSpkr: "But there's no way I could get back in time for the party. It's a fourteen hour drive from Chicago to here." MrsSpkr: "That is a long drive." MrSpkr: thinking quickly "Maybe I could fly up Friday night, then back Saturday evening, getting home in time for the party!" MrsSpkr: "Well, you could, but the kids sure would be disappointed if you missed Halloween again this year." MrSpkr: "Hey, that's not fair! Last year I was stuck in a deposition in Podunk, East Texas until well after dark." MrsSpkr: "I know, I know. I'm just saying they would be disappointed, that's all." MrSpkr: "Maybe I could fly up Saturday morning, then fly back Saturday afternoon. I'll check airfares." MrsSpkr: "Sounds good." Several minutes later, after hurriedly checking several major airlines' web sites, MrSpkr comes back. MrSpkr: "Well, I found a couple of fares. They're a bit pricey, but . . ." MrsSpkr: "How much?" MrSpkr: "Well, United wanted $862.00. I thought that was pricey, so I checked Southwest. They don't fly from Dallas to Chicago. Something about that bastiche Jim Wright and his stupid amendment or something. Continental wanted $765.00. That was too high, too. Then I checked American -- they wanted $576.00, which I thought was better, but still not great. Delta was a little better -- $546.50." MrsSpkr: "That's an awful lot of money . . ." MrSpkr: quickly "So then I looked at Northwest Airlines. They could get me there and back for $175! The only problem is that I would get there about noon, and my return flight would leave about 3:00. That's an awful narrow margin." MrsSpkr: "What's so important about Chicago, anyway? You have a deposition up there, meeting with a client, what?" MrSpkr: "Well, to be perfectly honest, there's a coughCMAKPreviewatrune'scough." MrsSpkr: "What was that?" MrSpkr: "Err, a CMAK preview at Rune's" MrsSpkr: "So, let me get thsi straight. You want to spend $200 to fly half-way across the country, just so you can hang out with a bunch of people you have never met, and look at a game for two hours, then fly back?" MrSpkr: "Umm, well, yes, that's about the size of it." MrsSpkr: "I'll have to think about this one, Steve." MrSpkr: "What if I stayed the night, then grabbed the red-eye the next morning? I could be back in Dallas by 10:15 a.m. for the same price!" MrsSpkr: "Yes, but then you would have to get a hotel room, and that costs money. Also, how are you getting to this place? Won't you need to rent a car?" MrSpkr: "Well, I could call up Uncle John and see if I could crash there . . ." MrsSpkr: "The communist? Last time you guys were in the same room I had visions of Khruschev pounding his shoe on the podium." MrSpkr: quickly -- again "Or I could just stay at rune's until ten or so that night, then head of to the airport and wait in the departure lounge until my red-eye the next morning." MrsSpkr: "I said I'll have to think about this one, Steve . . ." To be continued . . .
