I said puppy Josh. That one looks at least 2 years old. Pay attention man! :nono:


So?

I think my dog expresses Schadenfreude just as well, if not better!

Not good enough. Puppies! I demand puppies with my Schadenfreude!

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

so this overrated score still hasn't sold out. Why not? It's the greatest thing since sliced bread, since the tire.

it's the greatest score ever, EVER, EVER!


the about statement in hyperbole quint!
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

We've been through this before! If you wish to be reminded why they suck, just reread A Whirl Through Snowy’s Anatomy section here. Or ask Lukey (because apparently, he has been appointed chief veterinarian by himself).

Not sure if this helps keep track of how many are sold so far, but I received mine yesterday on order 49623. Just ordered it last week, so I was a little nervous about them already being sold out.

When only 500 are left? More? Less?

They won't put up an official low quantity alert until there are less than 100 copies remaining. But MV could give an update before then, you never know

Honestly since they haven't given any updates since the 3700 sold in 24 hours one, I have to think this will be in print for a long, long time, possibly until their license expires. Bloodboal will likely win the contest

Bloodboal's actual guess, as seen on page 1, was that it won't sell out. Therefore, if the license expires before all copies have been sold, he wins. Otherwise TTBK does, you're right.

Depends! Usually they are for either 2, 3, or 5 years, or until the title sells out, whichever happens first.

What I don't know if its from the date they signed the contract, or from the date the first unit went on sale....

I seriously doubt "Hook" will take 2 years to sell out. 2-4 months is my guess at this point.

Well, that depends on the specific terms of the contract, I would think... there's no way of telling "how it's usually done," I bet.

Well, you seriously doubted Hook would take more than a month to sell out. And look where that brought you: the losers' camp! So, stop doubting, and affirm something, for once in your life!

My thoughts too.

But I do think it will sell out well within that period, so TTBK is the more likely winner, I think. We'll see in a year or two! :)

We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

of the case will take a long time.
