Gameboomers mentioned in Ghost! magazine

The recent issue (Winter) of Ghost! magazine has a gorgeous, glossy advertisement for Dark Fall 2 : Lights Out, reviews, and a two page interview about it and the original Dark Fall game with the talented developer Jonathan Boakes.
If you take a close look at the advertisement, you can see that GB has been quoted here
The publication site is here

Looks great Jonathan!

Hi

Cheers.

Go Boomers

That's great, Nickie--thanks for letting us know...

Big Y little ea.....Yea GameBoomers

There is a show on I think Discovery Channel, it's about these folks that do indeed go in and investigate places where 'strange' things happen.
It is facinating. Most times, not much goes on..no proof of any abnormal atmosphere, but then when there is...it will scare the **** right out of you.
Can't think of the name, 2 men and a woman and then a team of students..this is their "hobby"..
Wish I could think of the name and time it comes on, but my mind is filled with cotton and I can't think of it..anyone know? It's not called 'ghostbusters' or anything like that.

Ingie, I believe you're talking about GhostHunters. When they play those tapes back it scares me!
I think the next episode is this week, after a winter hiatus.
EDIT : Had to look it up after that! It's on the scifi channel, and thirteen episodes start in April.

Could also be Encounters.
Cathy

Oh now I don't know...Encounters..is that on Discovery?
GhostHunters..??

Geez, I'm going to have to flip it to every channel and time..seems like I want to think it's on Sunday nights around 9..
But the playing the tape back..yes that is what they do..they record and video tape everything..then they take it back to their office-which I think is a trailer, and examine each piece of "evidence" the sounds, the temps, the visual..I know the one time I saw what Jonathan had in Dark Fall...the tiny lights..
they had that on film! they were all around this one person on the team that night, the person was talking about feeling "strange" and the temps were doing funny things..on the tape the lights showed up. Which that part baffles me, why only on tape?
Anyway..that's the way it works, then they go back and let the people know..we found or didn't find..
I remember when I saw that particular one, I wondered if that was what Jonathan did to get some of his research..

Ingie

If you read XXV productions website, Jonathan is quite well acquainted with ghosts... they have funny goings on in their office building and he got some really spooky photos last summer...

You're so right, tig! It would appear that Jonathan's ghosts lie in wait for him on his website!

Hey all!

This is Matt Ferrell with GHOST! Magazine.
Glad you all enjoy the ad for Dark Fall 2. We were happy to have it (and the interview) in the magazine.

We've only been doing the magazine for about a year and a half, but I've been investigating ghosts, spirits and hauntings for over 5 years now (see the link in my sig). Always interesting! =)

Matt!

Glad to have you join us. Anything about Jonathan and his great games are news. We are proud to know him.

Very interesting magazine and will surely look for it in stores.

Much success to you and your magazine.

Matt--nice to have you stop by--come back often--

Hi Matt, and to Gameboomers! So nice of you to come by. I purchased a subscription yesterday, and am looking forward to it! Will it start with the issue that has Jonathan in it? A very nice looking magazine.

This is great news, both for Jonathan AND for letting us know about GHOST magazine! Thanks!

Now that's what I call a gorgeous ad! Makes me want to replay the whole game again.

Congrats!

Oh Rael... I knew you would say that!!!

I wonder if the magazine will have anything about

.....((((shudder)))) music boxes in it????

Inferno

It's always good to see Jonathan getting the attention he deserves!

On a side note, could Matt's eyes be any yummier? (Sorry, I couldn't help myself. You all know I've been happily married for 16 years, but I'm not dead! My husband has green eyes, too....)

Okay, shake it off, Beth!

Whoa there Beth!

I'm sorry, but did you LOOK at the guy's photo?!

Plus, he's holding a cat! I can only be so strong, Tig!

heheh,

Thanks for the welcome and comments.

Yes, the newest issue (with the Darkfall stuff in it), we just got the finishing touches done on it and started shipping it out last week.. so you should be getting it soon!

Matt Good luck with the magazine and the ghosthunting!

Bryansmom, I see what you mean, Matt's eyes are hypnotic!!!

Matt reminds me of David Copperfield a little bit (the magician, not the literary character). Neat site! And I love that Ad for Darkfall2. Very appropriately creepy. A friend is playing DF2 now and I was already tempted to a replay. I may just have to do that now

Thanks Matt; I look forward to it! Glad you didn't let the wild women here drive you away - they are usually well behaved, but being adventure game players they are most observant!
Are you actively trying to get more computer game advertisements into your magazine of appropriate games that deal with the paranormal?

I solemnly swear that this is the very first time (and I joined in 2002) that I've ever commented on anyone's eyes or anything, honest! I'm usually very good. I'm just glad we didn't scare Matt away! I'm interested in the paranormal and I've had a few ghostly encounters myself, so I'm glad you gave us the link.

Welcome, Matt, and I promise I'm not a stalker or anything; I'm a harmless Mom.
But thanks for putting up with me!

heheh, no problem.

We're always looking for any ads that relate to the paranormal in any way. We also have a "GHOST! Reviews" section where we review 'ghostly' or spooky type games.

Ah Beth, I would bet that Matt doesn't scare easily!
I was reading the site's link to other affiliates, each having their own legends and stories in their part of the country, and saw they have my property listed under haunted locations. How neat is that!

You have a Haunted Ranch?

I will not be jealous. I will not be jealous.

What manifestations have you seen, heard, smelled or tasted?

Does it increase or decrease the value of the property?

I want to hear all about it, too!!! Maybe we should have a hauntings post stickied on the mixed bag forum! We took a vacation last summer to Boston and we stayed in Sudbury at Longfellow's Wayside Inn, and we stayed two nights in the haunted room! I could tell all about that, too!!!! (Yay! I love ghost stories).

I'd love to hear all about it Bryansmom! You're right though, posting in mixed bags would be the place to talk about all this. Hi there Becky, did you see how Bryansmom misbehaves when you step out for a minute?
This place stood vacant for I don't know how long- no one wanted to buy it because of the haunted reputation. We thought it was a real plus! And the answer is yes, yes,no,no on the manifestations.

Still waiting patiently in Mixed Bags

Ana

(Humming quietly to myself)......Oh, did you say something, Nickie? I was so busy doing good works and being innocent and never breaking the rules that I didn't hear you...... :kiss:

Yes I know Bryansmom, you and Jimmy Carter! "I've been lusting in mah heart..." teehee.

Sorry BET, I didn't see that something had been posted in Mixed Bags, will write soon.

Would you believe I already have received my first magazine! That is the fastest I have ever received a subscription. There are pages on Jonathan and it is really interesting, and the mag itself is a professional affair, very nice glossy paper. YAY JONATHAN!

Cool, glad you like it! =D

Thanks Matt, and something else I appreciated was that it arrived in a manila envelope. The way people are out here, now I don't have to worry about a throng showing up at my door with torches!

hehehe, yeah =)

OK, we've got the ghost story/hauntings thread going over at the mixed bag area, so everybody stop by and add your stories!

Hey! this is great Good Show Gameboomers!
keep up the good work you all are truly amazing

What a great plug for GB!
