No Smooch For You!

Max fans, don't get all huffy with me about this one: it's a plain fact (as far as me and facts go) that having someone to kiss on New Year's at midnight is a very nifty thing, and plus, having a couple there who are kissing practically puts an onus on everyone else to lock lips as well. At least I felt that way, you know, back in the day. Or something. Anyhow. Don't hunker down for a bigass story arc on this one. Whether that makes you happy or disappoints you, I don't know, but that's the way it's gonna be. At least for now... ::wink:: ::fiendish chuckle:: C'mon, there's always gotta be a little mystery in this biz. Or something. Yeah.
Alert reader Jason mailed me today to let me know that evidently, Petition Online is a bit of bupkus (or bumpkis. However it's spelled. I should just write it out phonetically, but I'm lazy... SO lazy, in fact, that I didn't even bother trying to spell "phonetically" right but let the spellchecker handle it. See? LAZY). And? He cleverly suggested that to elicit real results, an actual pen & paper petition is required. That is, we gotta all write Interplay OURSELVES and yell that we want Fallout 3, and we want it to be good, and we want it NOW. I'm all for this. In fact, barring acts of god (i.e. more acts of laziness from yours truly), I'll have Interplay's address up here next time you all tune in, and perhaps a bit of a form-type letter to give you an idea of what to write to them to let them know PRECISELY how us lovers of Fallout feel about the whole issue, and so on. At any rate, I thank Alert Reader Jason - letting him know his words didn't fall on deaf ears (or blind eyes... or something) - and I warn all of you ahead of time to save a stamp or two in order to get these critical letters sent. They may do nothing in the long term, but at least we, as gamers, can turn to our grandchildren when they ask if we fought in the great War For Fallout in aught-four, and we can say "Damn skippy, little Billy (or Sally, as the case may be), yes we did." And we'll all feel pride. Then we can demand more bourbon.
Anyhow, that's it for the update tonight: I and Web Guy Josiah return to CA tomorrowness, and have the proverbial miles to go before we sleep. But not tonight. Yay. Yay for many things. Happy New Year.
Ringing In All Sorts of Stuff,
Annie "Blue" C
