voyage to mars

  dear sir,

wassup with the chinese stuff in your last post? trite and racial generalisation i'm thinkin. like sayin norwegian blues pine for the fjords. so what if there's a lot of them? they be cool if we be cool. oh yeah the abnaxus character couldda been done better.

I fail to see exactly how my rather obvious (and obviously light-hearted and self-deprecating) joke regarding China has anything to do with racial generalisation.

Trite it may be - I don't claim to be Mr. Funny 2003; at best I'm able to incite an embarrassed chuckle - but taking offense at my "you know, there are so many people in China..." joke would be akin to being offended by "you know, it rains so much in England...".

There are a lot of people in China. They could take over the world if they were so inclined. Luckily, they are not. If China begins exporting their culture as expertly and ruthlessly as USA has done, however, we may all be speaking Mandarin and celebrating New Year's in February.

However, in the spirit of equality, feel free to send me jokes about Norway and Norwegians, and I'll be more than happy to post them. This site shall forever remain a bastion against rampant and misguided political "correctness".

Maybe you can convince FunCom to offer a Platinum Edition bonus DVD (assuming everyone is finally moving to the more cost-effective single DVD by then) featuring TLJ with higher-rez 3D models and other minor tweaks (like the cop shop fix)? For newbies, the first adventure would be required playing and even if it isn't, the opportunity to obtain TLJ in 2006 or whatever might be slim not to mention the models being dated.

Just one more idea for the creative bonfire.

"The creative bonfire". I like that.

Excellent suggestion, Z, and we've already been toying with similar ideas: A remake using our next-generation 3D adventure engine, perhaps; or simply a tweaked "special edition" with improved visuals; or maybe a plain budget relaunch on one DVD or two CDs.

We're definitely looking into it. I'll let you all know what happens with that.  11:45
