issues that people generally have with a gaming company like blizzard arent that they produce sucky games, or that theyre not interesting. its that blizzard takes their damn time making their games. and not without justifiable end results of course…but still. at the moment, many gamers are still waiting for the release of blizzards first console game in a long time, starcraft: ghost…which currently has a set release date of june 10. hopefully. its blizzard…keep your fingers crossed. in the meantime tho, we can only stare at the new images that slowly trickle out. poot.

LEISURE SUIT
and while we’re on the topic of games, i came across this only recently…a featured lady of leisure suit larry on ign. the world has come full circle…we are getting a new leisure suit larry game! news of the game actually first broke back in october, so im a bit late…oops. for those unfamiliar with the world of leisure suit larry, lets take a step back to our childhood. every kid growing up in the 80s and 90s (male anyhoo…and with a computer) probably has fond memories of playing leisure suit larry…or at the very least trying to get a copy on a floppy disk. originally released in 1987 by sierra (the makers of kings quest, police quest, etc…), you were larry laffer, a dork and an anti-hero who thinks that all the ladies loved him. they really didnt, but that didnt stop you from pursuing them. your goal for the game was simple…get out there, meet women, impress them with your clever humor and disarming charisma, and score with them. leisure suit was one of the first mainstream games to combine humor and sex. not smutty sex or anything…just dirty jokes and a little cga/ega (and eventually vga) nudity. ah the late 80’s, early 90’s. and now we have leisure suit larry: magna cum laude, where you get to go back to college and woo a college girl as larry loveage, nephew of laffer. thank god for polygons…

wow, another leisure suit larry. but he’s not wearing a leisure suit in the images. hmm.

Ooooh….Starcraft Ghost. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll have to clear my schedule following the release date. 🙂
good old days of my commodore 64 and then amiga 500 and the series of lsl games… they were so hard though, i couldn’t beat any of them!
wow…commodores and amigas. my familys first computer was a pc(at) 10/12mhz powerhouse (remember the turbo buttons?) with what i can only guess was piddly ram. and i ran lsl in glorious cga. when we finally upgraded to ega tho, i was in heaven.
