I knew they could beat $.02. Beat it by 50%. Wow. Any guess on the market reaction? GT seemed upbeat. Have lots of cash sitting around because of today. Clinton will not appreciate my losses. Maybe I should wait the summer out. Will soon be upgrading my PC. I'm too far out of the loop now due to system sluggishness. Would really like to get Unreal and Duke Forever (when available). Wonder if Scott exercised his options when the going was better. Was he a pump and dumper? Forgive me. I don't remember hearing that phrase around here. I've spent too much time with the BBs lately. Where's Victoria? Buddy (headed back to investing school)

Not as much cohesiveness as I'd like to see. Ironic as it may seem the cheesy Deer Hunter and its' just as cheesy add-on pack are doing well. Its probably gonna out sell Duke Nukem. Sheesh, the game is boring and the graphics are pitiful. The most laughable part is its outselling Unreal!! I think GT's gonna lose $$ on Unreal. No question the game is graphically amazing, and the NPC's are cool addition. The game however, just doesn't seem to have that special addictiveness and personality that keeps you up till 4 a.m. This coupled with the fact that I saw the game priced $29.96 last week @ Wal-Mart (same 5 copies were still there a week later), tells me sales must be falling off already. Can't say I see any new product in the pipe that's gonna take the market by storm either. By the way Interplay just released Redneck Huntin' to cash on the DH fever. The game is suppose to be much more realistic (as if DH was), via superior graphics and gameplay. I hope its priced right cause that's the only reason I can see for the DH sales record. I still can't figure the consumer out. He'll drop $10 for 2 hrs. @ the movie theater, but won't spend $35 for a great game that'll give you 40+ hrs of entertainment.
