The Ectozone: The Ghostbusters Universe At Your Fingertips

No big updates for the site to announce on this, the seventh anniversary of the opening of the Ectozone, but since it's tradition I'm blathering anyway.

I'm taking a hiatus from my haitus to release Game Theory. Some of you may remember the version I put out last year, written a year before that when I was rather depressed and negative about the video game. It was the only story I ever ended up withdrawing from the site.

I did say that I might re-release it when I wrote a more positive, balanced version of the story, and that's what's out today. I won't say I took out every bit of criticism, but there's a more positive perspective, and the most negative observer--Janine--does get challenged on it.

Oh, and look at this:Matty Collector makes official post on SDCC RGB fig . Yes sir, the animated likeness figures, the Real Ghostbusters to some of us, are finally on their way. The SDCC exclusive will be Venkman in "Citizen Ghost" costume (ie the tan movie uniform) with a variant in transparent green, Anti-Venkman.

The pantleggers have already bitched about the proton pack, and it amuses me. It seems like I heard a lot of complaints about the cartoon packs being blue and not looking more like the movie packs...so naturally, when they put a cartoon figure with a black pack that looks more like the movie ones, they complain.

No pleasing some people, I guess.
