I can't believe he missed the opportunity! Yeah, he has to go in a month anyways - but a month is a lifetime! He'll die having had sex with only one girl.
Sad.
And the game.. that's how it ended? They didn't send it to reviewers, didn't give away free copies, didn't do any proper advertising work?
Idiots!! :(
Sometimes stuff just doesn't pan out. I've literally got boxes of albums from past bands and musical endeavors that didnt's sell, and I lost money on. So many people give it one shot and they give up. But the boxes that did sell-and what became of them made up for it by far. I just made my own luck by putting stuff out there repeatedly and decreasing odds.
Many of my friends just went on with their life. And to an extent, I have too-but those times holed up in a makeshift studio with a best friend and a wonderful girl-that was what made every unsold box absolutely worth it. I think that was the point of this story arc.
