Congratulations on the great article! !!!

Looks like the PR department has been busy as well  ;-D

We've already seen most of the art presented there though - all except the one with Graham riding the ferry of dreams. That one made me wonder if that part has been completed yet, or if it was it just a pose :S

How much does the magazine cost in America ???, cos lately we have lost all of the Australian game magazines and they have brought in American ones :-\, the American ones are good but they cost around $15 and the Australian ones were only $6 :-\

Yeah, so i thought they may have brought it out here and i was just wondering if anyone knew the price ???

you know, they do have a pr department I believe or a marketing department you can perfectly address those questions via email to them, in fact, you can get the online magazine which its sort of the same from the printed one I believe.

Better watch out, Say - you've got a double agent among you ;-D

I'm glad I wasn't at the AGDI forum on April 1st to witness yet another senseless hoax... hope the KQ9 team wouldn't get similar ideas from them  :-X

what happened on april 1st there?


and I do know partially what you mean, people have been pitching MY ideas to other forums (the contest and many other related, I dont post there but we have a monthly research, I do sort of know whats going on), but hey imitation is the highest level of flattering or so they say? Im "flattered" they like so badly our contest they want them everywhere, but sadly... not everyone likes to work as hard as we do on web staff to develope all we do for all our lubly fans, and I've seen more than I can recall myself, ideas pitched to there (as well as I do know some of you steal ideas from that forum to here) I have no complains, I wish I know who is the big mouth *gets silver knife* :P

Say no to violence, but pick up a silver knife and stab away.... Kinda reminds me of the "speak softly but carry a big stick" quote....  ::)
As for stores that *definitely* carry Game Informer, Im pretty sure all Game Stop affiliated stores do... Im going to head over there this weekend to buy me a copy...  ;D

I don't debate, I ramble with STYLE!

I’m a double agent? Then I’m a lousy one, AKA easily caught.  Say you know my first and only love is Caesar … I mean the “King’s Quest IX”

This “Game Informer” article is a big deal for AGDI and us! We both did great! When I posting over in their area one of their folks wished us well. In turn I wish them well, for good karma and all.  I hope that’s ok with everybody?

Double agent, do I get a number? Agent 3.14159265 (ok math majors what’s that?)

Ok... a little history lesson:
Last April 1st, AGDI announced they'll be releasing a voicepack for their KQ2+. Lots of forum-goers assumed this was an April fool's gag, since AGDI said before they won't be releasing a voicepack for it, claiming it had too much dialogue etc. However, it turned out to be the truth and they released said voicepack shortly after.

THIS April 1st, they closed down their forum, claiming it crashed or something (I wasn't there so I don't know they details), while they really were transferring it to a new board.

I hope you won't be doing similar things here, Say... teasing people and not telling them what you're up to is one thing, misleading them intentionally is quite another. Personally, I considered those hoaxes very unprofessional and in bad taste, not to mention a bad PR move.

Then again, maybe it's just me not liking to be jerked around ::)

I don't particularly enjoy April Fools jokes either, and rather than intentionally misleading people I usually just purposely omit information.  :suffer:

However, bad taste or not, they did surprise and get people talking (the voice pack).  It's also a gag that probably every AGDI forum member will remember for a long time.  Whether it was a good memory or not depends on the individual  ;), but regardless it was a publicity technique. ;P

With the voicepack, it's not the April fool's gag itself that bothered me. I wasn't on their forums that day so I missed it completely. What did bother me was the fact they stated there wouldn't be a voicepack - I pretty much stopped going there at the time, thinking there wouldn't be any new releases for a while (at least not until they finished the QFG2 remake), so I could have missed the voicepack release altogether. Not very good publicity-wise for people who left their forum, thinking there was nothing to expect... More likely, good for the mods who don't have to answer the question "when will the voicepack come out?" constantly (IIRC, that was actually one of the reasons they gave for keeping the voicepack a secret) ::)
"Never argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Yonkey

Ahh, I see what you mean.  Personally, I wouldn't do that to anyone.  I do like surprising people, but usually by showing something that they weren't expecting.  Lying to people and then surprising isn't really my style. :P
"A wish changes nothing. A decision changes everything."

Jeysie

That's when you pull out the old standby... WID. "When it's done." :D

Anyhoo. I don't like April Fool's Jokes either, myself... for one, I spent my childhood having a lot of malicious, mean-spirited, and unpleasant pranks pulled on me. For two, I just don't have the time or inclination to futz around with determining whether or not somebody is putting me on. :P
