The fact is they are selling a game, if it sucks it will bomb more than most. If its good then I'm sure the ignorant masses will be on the boards everywhere preaching about how revolutionary and effective the ad campaign was.

I liked this post.  It was funny because its true.

You must have read the post where I corrected somone!!! Its not as funny though because that person was talking about how people are dumb, but they made a subject verb agreement which is a gramattical error while the error I made is one that most forum users do, forum shorthand if you will. thanx tho Thanks though*

That was me that made the post... I guess you never read my reply since I made you look dumb in that thread.

gramattical? HAHAHA. but your right.. it Is forum shorthand... that;s why you looked dumb in the other thread. since grammar in a forum is no way to gauge how smart someone is... but you thought it was...... owned

I thought it was funny.  Thats true.

Edit: rats I forgot to say That's!

I also like your penguin, but I am still giving you a D grade for spelling.

Ya you're right. Marketing isn't needed to sell something. Aventurine is so different and amazing that they simply don't need to do what EVERY SINGLE SUCCESSFUL COMPANY IN THE HISTORY OF HUMAN KIND always does.

I suppose all these companies who have complete floors dedicated to nothing but marketing should just go talk to Aventurine and get taught how to properly do it.

Hilarious what the deluded followers of this thing will sink to just to shine the turd a little brighter.

You're going to see plenty of banner ads after this thing is out when they finally realize that their little word of mouth campaign got them nothing but lots of posts on message boards.

Ubisoft tried this very thing with Shadowbane. They had a group or groups of people that were supposed to go around the net and spread the word about the game. They quickly cancelled the entire thing.

That kind of thing only makes you look like a loser with no money to peoperly advertise.

So, how does it go? Using a internet gaming site to raise your self-esteem. That's normal...
