V great post. Very enjoyable reading. Did you get a chance to venture over to THQ's booth? Any comments? So are you and Scott dating now or is it DukeNukem? :-) Only kidding.

Thanks Victoria, great report and welcome back!

Hey Preston, good to see you back also!

I knew Scott would be a softie in person. How do I get a copy of your picture?

GT has to prove themselves to me, and not with just one quarter. All the TA in the world won't help the bottom line, and GT has a history of blowing it. Things look good ahead, but I've (we've) been there before. At this point, still too risque for me.;)

Hopeful, but still too skeptical to invest.

Buddy

OK, with that I will pledge to make E3 in Atlanta next year. However I won't be an apologist to Scott regardless of what a great fishing buddy he might be. People in the game business don't get far being snotty and/or snooty so The Scott Miller's attitude perplexed me. I can't wait to walk up to him and say "Hey! Are you THE SCOTT MILLER!" I give him credit, he took his deserved bashing like a man and he deserves to reap the benefits of his work. Now the true test will be whether he grants me a private screening. (smirk)

Now as for GT. The originator of this thread I give high praise to. He actually predicted the Virgin acquisition about two years ago. he didn't call out any other companies but this one so he gets an A+. I on the other hand simply told him that I thought if GT was going to grab something that Virgin would be the one to go for. Virgin/Westwood has some absolutely awesome titles. Bladerunner, Command and Conquer and Lands of Lore all have a good following (especially C&C). I am with Buddy on GT, they still haven't instilled a lot of confidence in me. As I watch it drop like a rock as usual I still say that I am going to wait until 6-6.5 before I would jump in. Unfortunately, I think it could do it! How's that for positive reinforcement.
