Evening Reading
by Maarten Goldstein, Jun 17, 2001 6:26pm PDTWhat late? Nothing like realizing ER is supposed to be posted while playing a game. Such as now! Damn! Shit!
- Now this is really cool. Except for getting caught and such. - "I had no idea we had so many weapons". Haha, good old Bush.Lastly, they are thinking about splitting L.A. Hm, ok?
- If you play baseball you suck according to this news story. Thanks Indeego. - Know someone with farting problems? Give them this underwear. Thanks the archvile. - Yeah like this wasn't expected or something. Someone filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Bridgestone/Firestone. - There's also a report here saying a certain Shacknews webmaster currently up in Canadia enjoys sucking the poo poo from the poo poo tree. Can't confirm it just yet though.

When Jay and Silent Bob learn that a "Bluntman and Chronic" movie is being made featuring their comic book counterparts, they drool at the thought of fat movie checks rolling in. But when the pair find that there won't be any royalties coming their way, they set out to sabotage the flick at all costs.
The stoner duo makes the cross-country trip from New Jersey to Hollywood and along the way they meet up with a quartet of sexy diamond thieves (that's Chrissy, Sissy, Missy and Justice)...and an orangutan.
The escaped orangutan gets a federal wildlife marshal on their tail, and the whole shebang climaxes as Jay and Silent Bob make it to the Mirmax lot, crashing through the sets of a whole bunch of movies, both real and imaginary. And, oh, yeah - the "secret origin" of Jay and Silent Bob is finally revealed!

BATMAN sells 43,290 copies a month
DETECTIVE sells 42,380 copies
BATGIRL sells 38,850 copies
NIGHTWING sells 38,170 copies
GOTHAM KNIGHTS sells 34,810 copies
LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT sells 34,690 copies
HARLY QUINN sells 29,820 copies
ROBIN sells 28,690 copies
BIRDS OF PREY sells 25,090 copies
AZREAL sells 16,420 copies
BATMAN BEYOND sells 13,440 copies
GOTHAM ADVENTURES sells 13,280 copies
That gives a total of 358,930 books a month.
Now doing the math, 358,930 x $2.50 = $897,325 and $10,767,900
Now the question is, how much profit are they making? I heard that is cost around $1000 per page for talent (writer, pencil, ink, letter, etc) $350 for overhead, and around 30 cents to print the book. So we have 20 pages of story for 12 titles times cost is $324,000. Add printing cost for a total of $431,679. Now Comic stores and retailers earn about a buck per comic sold so thats $358, 930. Total cost: $790,609 for a total monthly profit of $106,716 or $1,280,592.
Ofcourse the big pitfall is they don't sell every comic printed. Why am I posting this? I don't know... Just trying to get my brain working this monday..

Vantage, should I buy:
a)Age of Empires + exp pack
b)Planescape Torment
c)Hitman
Throne of bhall should be out soon, and that's a must buy... NWN out late this year / early next.. that's two must buy rpgs.... so I'm not sure if I should add ps:t to my list...
Hitman might be good... but I have lots of fps games....
Was thinking about aoe... I used to enjoy red alert in skirmish mode, but I don't really like rts campaign modes where you have to figure out the "trick" to passing the level through trial and error...
