Ghostbusters: Game Theory
November 2007--Timeline Year Twenty Five

Venkman has just returned to Ghostbusters Central with the news that a new video game is in production. Not all of the Ghostbusters are totally happy with what they're hearing...
----------------
I promise they're a lot happier than they were in the Apocrypha version, though, written a couple of years ago when I was at the depth of a depressive funk. 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.

Anyway, I guess I'm still on official writing hiatus, but for the Ectozone's seventh anniversary I guess I took a little hiatus from the hiatus :lol:

Thanks above and beyond the call of duty to Jeff, Vincent, and Mick, who helped lanced a few parts that were still a little anachronistic and negative.

Of course I would also have pointed out anything "wrong" with this if I'd seen it, but I guess I just don't know these characters as well as some and I don't know a damn thing about video games. :P The story seemed pretty good to me when I read it, and I guess now it must be even better!

(I have to say, it'll be fascinating to see what, if anything, Fritz does when Ghostbusters 3 comes out.)

I'm still not totally convinced it's going to happen, so it's not worth worrying about.

And if it does, well, I think after this experience I'll be able to handle it much better :)

I do recall that the slime blower mk. 2 in the game used a 'self-regenerating plasm culture', which means you always had slime ready at hand.

Yeah, I can't remember it exactly but there's a line somewhere in there from Egon about experimenting and mixing slime from multiple ghosts, including Slimer, to come up with a mood slime that would never run out. That's also why it's green instead of pink.

Well technically it can "run out", but it will regenerate after it stops being blasted out, hence the "venting" of the pack when you use too much in one blast.
