Be neither angry nor thankful. Just be.

Don't be thankful that some money-grubbing corporation (no offense intended, but it's quite the obvious fact that the goal of every company is to make as much money as possible) got their hands on the licence to Ghostbusters. Who knows what they may do to it at this point!

On the other hand, don't be angry at them for delays and whatknot, it's probably not entirely their fault. We've been putting pressure on them for months and they've done a pretty good job of keeping up thus far.

What the hell did I do vinz?

You haven't stopped complaining about them since you first made this topic, and honestly, I'm sick of it.

Nobody should be losing their temper at anyone, frankly, I've seen what goes on behind the scenes when a large company is hiring a small-time company to do something for them, and it's not pretty.

I was overseeing the technical work for a project my friend landed for Antarctic Press, some of the scenes that I thought were beautiful and were the best work he's done, AP didn't like them and wanted them redone, so things that are being published for sale need to have a lot of tweaking done on them.

As well, we should be thankful that Sony still believes that Ghostbusters can still make some form of revinue for the company. Yes I realize that the main project we want Sony to oversee right now is RGB DVDs but this may lead to it. So honestly, who cares if they're not updating their website, or posting updates about this or that, all that anyone here should be caring about is that everything is going smoothly with the comic.

And don't be disappointed when the comic art doesn't look anything like the art we've seen on here, simply because it would take YEARS to get comic pages done at that quality. Maybe the cover art will be done with that level of quality.

I know that EVERY ghosthead is anxious to see what 88 MPH studios will produce for us this fall, I've been waiting for a break in the franchise for a while now, so we all need to quit fighting about this issue and move on and await the arrival of our gold, this will hold us over until next year when Sony releases Ghostbusters on a 20th edition DVD, so we all need to sit back and relax.

I don't see any of you working at 88MPH Studios, working on their projects or website, the only people that can sit and complain are the people at 88MPH Studios who are probably getting swamped by those of you on here with their e-mail addresses, they're probably pulling their hair out trying to keep on schedule for this comic, other then the movies they have nothing to go by, they need to create ghosts, storylines, and stuff like that so it's not a cakewalk, it's not like…lets see a Real Ghostbusters Game, where they can base level/missions on stuff that actually went on in the program.

I don't mean to seem like an old bastard on this subject, I know I'm just as anxious as any of you, since I saw Ghostbusters for the first time when I was about 5yrs old, on a top loading VCR (yeah yeah 80s yester-tech was funny looking and sounds really gay right about now ) I've been hooked on it, I was able to get into the Real Ghostbusters really fast and was able to watch a good chunk of the eps before they took it off the air, if I had the money I'd be even more of a Ghostbusters junkie, but that's the thing money is a limiter, and since I don't have the money to do a top notch job like a company does, I won't complain when a company is doing all the hard work for us, even if the comic is a total screw up, it'll still be wicked that someone was interested enough to do all this hard work for us.

I don't want to read ANY posts complaining about the comic when it comes out, or else you'll get another one of these rants, I mean there's certain things I can complain about…such as when they ruin a good movie by bringing out a crappy sequal (i.e. Matrix: Reloaded…). So quit your complaining and whining and drool over the nice wallpapers that people have put up for us, just keep on checking back on the 88MPH Studios website for updates, and if you find yourself getting frustrated pull out something like a hockey game or a GTA game and take out someone, just don't come and complain on here…or you'll get slaughtered by everyone, such as myself, who are sick of people complaining about something they're more or less getting for free (save for the cost of the comics )

That's all for me…

Well I do tend to agree with most of brorjace's comments (although I thought the Matrix: Reloaded was pretty cool, if not as revolutionary as the first, it tends to suffer from Back To The Future Part II Syndrome, where they filmed parts II and III at the same time, and part II just idn't get as much attention as part III because it had to be released earlier…I could rant forever about this), I have to say that Orko has a point about 88MPH breaking promises. And Vinz, they don't actually have to say “We promise” for it to be a promise. If they say “The site will be up next week” then it should be up next week.

I'm not attacking anyone, or siding with anyone. I just think that we shouldn't be losing our tempers over:

-88MPH failing to update their site
-People who complain about 88MPH not updating their site

P.S. I think that they can do the comic that detailed. John Romita Jr. has been doing The Amazing Spider-Man that detailed for ages (and it continues to improve!). The newest issues look really great, and Spider-Man is at least as detailed as the 2003 Ghostbusters, if not more so.

Look at Bryan Hitch's art. His is detailed on the interior pages.

just one more note that I should have added last night (but was too tired from the Kyoto Saga marathon from Rurouni Kenshin ), when someone says they're gonna update their website it's not necessarilly a promise (leave my spelling alone ), but that's just an opinion I guess, but seriously, I think we should quit bickering and stick to awaiting our friends at 88MPH Studios to release our kick ass comic and other stuff (yeah my memory sucks so I can't remember any of the stuff that is gonna get released )

So anyways, back to web-dev


EDIT:
come to think of it, why don't one of then mods close this? simply cause everyone is just gonna get angered and I don't wanna see the community in an uproar cause of some website not getting the update that they said it would get…
