The Knitting Park Marketing Report

So I know I'm behind on my blog. Or the computer in general and was just popping around my blog reads, which includes the Doube Fine Action News (it's not a blog, it's NEWS!!! so it's valid information... not just some slacker who's got nothing better to do than post pictures of her knitting projects on the web so that people can fawn over her super fabulous knitting skillz).

I know that I am not the average gamer... a pushing 40 professional housewife who maintains a knitting blog. (Actually, I'm sure every game developer thinks... hmmm, think this game will do well with pushing 40 housewifes who play video games when not watching baseball and knitting? and designs intense marketing strategies to tap into this huge and finacially viable market). However, how can so many gamers miss out on one of the Best Games EVER?????

Psychonauts is no longer in print (however, it is still available in some outlets, and can also be purchased for download over at Steam*). I'm saddened that this game didn't do better. It's laugh out loud funny... and as entertaining as any game I've played.

So the marketing department here at Knitting Park has a suggestion to Tim Schafer on how to improve sales. All you need to do is add "Tom Clancy" somewhere in the title. This will improve sales immediately, even if you just recycle the same game over and over again.

Of course, this pushing 40 housewife also has fantasies of kidnapping Tim Schafer, holding him in my attic, but not in a creepy Misery sort of way. I would knit him sweaters and cook nice meals... all so he could design fun and fabulous games for me. See, not the least bit creepy. Oh crap, is that a restraining order?????

Anyhoo... if you own a PS2, and Xbox or a PC... you must try this game!! You can even play the demo over at Steam!!! How cool is that????

*Steam has become very dangerous for me... I originally got it as part of the Half Life 2 and I've bought some casual games on it... including Chuzzles. I think I hate the developers of Chuzzle as much as I hate George Lucas (and The Knights of the Old Republic) as they've sucked a lot of my life away.
