According to the producer of Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, being a part of the Ghostbusters team is tough. Why? Well, because you have to deal with ghosts, obviously.
Does anyone sign up for the Ghostbusters and not think they'd have to deal with ghosts? I mean, that's kind of part of the job description, right? It's like getting a job at GameStop and then complaining the job is hard because you have to sell people games. (Note: working at GameStop is hard, like most retail, because most people can be stupid.)
In any case, enjoy this latest Sanctum of Slime dev diary, which shows off a bunch of in-game footage for the fun-looking twin-stick co-op title. Also, have some new screenshots while you're at it. This is likely the last you'll hear about the game from us until our review, because it comes out next week.
Nick, working retail IS hell because people, for the most part, are fucking stupid. Back on point now. Huge GB nerd, looking forward to trying this. Doesn't bother me to much that it's not the original guys, as long as it's a blast.
I'm stoked about picking this up, but I do have one minor complaint (minor as in it wouldn't affect my purchase): Any info on the trap? Its looking like the streams are going to be enough to take out the baddies, and I personally can't think of a good way to implement it without sacrificing the hectic twin-stick feel so I'm not gonna harp on it too much. I just felt so ... cool, and like a child again, when I was rocking the trap in the recent retail version.
Why would they pay middleman markup if they were smart? Why would you work for gamestop if you had a valued skill or opinion? The only winning move in gamestop is walking out of the store without buying anything. It's ponzi arbitrage. Customers should demand free market arbitrage.
Anybody ever watch the thunderbusters vid that somebody made? Apparently thunderstruck and the ray parker jr. Song are in the same time signature and somebody meshed the 2...its pretty neat. Really looking foward to this..gonna have to get a bigger hdd for xbox..the 2o gig is starting to get crowded
Working at Gamestop isn't hard. Its actually the easiest job I ever had. Annoying, boring, and generally soul crushing might fit better. But that is retail for ya. It isn't hard work, just mind numbing work.

Can be stupid? Can? I think you're being overly polite here, Nick.
Isn't this another Ghostbusters where crossing the streams doesn't do anything? Am I still allowed to be disappointed by that?
........ most gamers are kids and teens
