Gozer: "You must choose ... choose and publish.
Sierra: "Oh, oh I get it. Clear your heads, don't think of anything!"
Gozer: "The choice is made. The Publisher has come!"
Sierra: "Whoa, whoa whoa! We didn't choose anything. Did you choose anything?"
Activision: "My mind is totally blank."
(They all look at Atari.)
Atari: "I couldn't help it. It just popped in there."
Sierra: "What? What just 'popped' in there?"
(Distant stomping sounds.)
Atari: "I tried to think ...
Activision: "Look!"
Sierra: "What did you do Atari?"
Atari: "No, it can't be! It can't be!"
(They look to the horizon.)
Atari: "It's Phil Harrison."
Incidentally, Atari will publish Ghostbusters in 2009.

Fantastic post and well played!
Why Phil went the way of the Atari, I will never know. Hopefully this won't be the crapfest that was Alone in the Dark (and it's Inferno remake I'm hearing).
I know, Atari publishes it and doesn't develop...I just can't help but feel that this is a cursed company in need of assistance. Who you gonna call?

Haha, well done post.
Anyways, while I'm scared of Atari's quality, it's still Sierra that's behind the game, correct? So as long as Atari keeps their mouth shut, publishes the game and counts the money, I'll be okay with this.
