Someone in Texas doesn't like us!

[digitalpress]

LOL.

I just checked into the Amazon.com listing for the DP Guide and found two negative reviews - REALLY negative... like lowest possible score you can give negative - which is funny because no matter how much you dislike this book there's NO WAY it's a "one star" book. Which means there are people either trying to counter out the possible positive reviews, or are just plain sour grapes (ie the competition).

Well guess what? Besides the fact that I don't consider asking people who have purchased the book to supply feedback an immoral thing as these two holy-roller cowards do, I also find that lurking about and sniping are just about the most transparent form of loserdom there is.

So, "TEXAS" and "ANONYMOUS"... "BITE" "ME". We worked really hard on that book. Show yourselves and explain what you don't like instead of hiding in the shadows like cowards. I'm wiling to admit the books' flaws, now come out and admit YOURS.

those people need to be thrown down and repeatedly kicked in the teeth for months straight. we can take turns and do it in shifts. i'll do the kicking for the first 5 hours, then joe can, then we'll keep going until each member of the board has had a total kicking time of 100 hours. sound like a good plan?

[thekeepr]

Wooooo, I glad I'm not those guys...having Joe pissed off at you could mean total banishment from everything that is Holy and Classic!!
I liked both guides...can't we just get along, be friends...whatever!!
The Keeper...(ducking out of the way, as not to incure any rath) :x

Sothy, you bastard! ;)

Seriously though, perhaps "Texas" thought he was reviewing the Video Game Bible instead?

I left bad inter web comments about your electronic book game whatever book. I thought Digitel Press was about my buddy Sgt. Digitelli who was killed in the Me'sung Press which was an offensive Bait and retreat staggered patrol used by 4th Marine Division to tempt a hidden NVA regiment suspected to be hiding in the Arizona Valley. We were ordered to perform highly visible daylight squad patrols along the treeline but with no cover in the paddies. Hollow eyed Mama sans staring at us from the rat infested hootches...
Ya we know where papa san is, somewhere up the treeline humpin an sks just groovin on the thought of doin a couple grunts. Well fuck that me and Sharky took some cherry from the tag along unit and one of the Kit Carsons to ask em a few questions. Mamma san say "Marine Bac bac Pappa san no chop chop rice no got, Bac bac all rice!" They aint supposed to have any more than immediate usage would require so it must be a NVA supply Cash. My man Sharky laughs as the Cherry pisses in the Rice baskets. Fuckin gooks screamin bout "No vc!" "Rice for baby sans!" Ya my ass. Baby san with a godamn AK soon as its Dark. We open up on their hog pen as we sky out. They use those things like godamn guard dogs, snortin and gruntin whenever a patrol is near so the VC can high tail it before we show up. Or maybe set up an ambush.
Old mamsans cryin shakes up the new guys but we know better. Theyd slit out throats for half a c-rat... ya theyd groove on it.

We move out over the paddy leaving the Burning hootches behind us. Sharky takes point when we reach the dikes, up ahead is nothin but flattened sawgrass and VC trails crisscrossing as far as the eye can see. Abandoned fighting holes litter the fields, most are covered with dead weeds and its about impossible to see a gook till ya step on him. "Hey! Lieutenant, we got movement in da treeline!" Sharky point slightly east and I part some sawgrass "Yup" Sure enough Gooners are diggin something big in. "They know we out here man!"
The Cherry is getting flaky I can tell. "Stay chilly they dont have our pos yet or theyd already be tossin mortars" We laid in the weeds on our bellies. the noises were gettin closer and we couldnt even talk anymore for fear of giving away our position. Sharky had the radion down to a low hiss and I could hear him breakin squelch to let the firebase know we was in the shit. "pssst Brancos on it way Lieutenant" An eternity later "2 minutes" the plane came came in hearing range and I tossed 2 smokes near the treeline. Aks started firing wildly over our heads at the bronco and a couple b-40's punded past our position. "Nuh uh" shoulda run Luke the Bronco let her Gatling saw into the treeline like some angry god from the sky. About 20 seconds of that then silence..Spookies tended to get the last word. "Sharky you ok?" He pulls himself up brushing dirt off his helmet "Ya man but our Cherry is Aaaalll fucked up man." Fuck. Cant recognize anything above the waist. "Allright, Sharky call in a bird..." The rest of the Platoon comes out of the treeline from behind where the ambush was set up "You skatin motherfuckers count the meat!!" "Sheeeit you guys fucked em up!!" My Papa Sierra comments. Naww give it to the Bronc. "Get some Bronc!"
Sharkie gives a Zulu while I sit down to pick up the Cherry's packs and find his letter home, too late noticing he still had it strapped.

After tripping the VC booby trap I wake up in a bomb crater on the otherside of the field in a pool of stagnant water pink with my own blood.

"Wheres your actual!?!?" I can hear the radio screaming and a low moan a few feet to my left "Sargeant Digitell?" I ask through the haze of pain He doesnt answer, my Papa Sierra aint got a face anymore....


I dont wanna talk about it anymore... Fuck that digital Press book it had nothing to do with the Press manuevers or Digitelli the best godamned Platoon Sargeant a Brown bar ever had.

Ok trying to read that made my brain hurt. What the hell are you talking about?

FANBOY!!! haha

[Captain Wrong]

sothy licks goat scrotums

that is all

[punkoffgirl]

Oooh, we've been "solicited"? Damn, no one even woke me up to tell me! So that's what that wet spot was...
Seems like someone's a little green-eyed down in Texas.. Oh, and guess who's book is no where to be found on Amazon?

[Arrrhalomynn]

Oh yeah. A negative review and it's from texas! IT MUST BE VGB!! who else???? you're such a great detective.
:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[digitalpress]

I don't know who thinks it's "VGB", that isn't what I was thinking. First of all, the coward who wrote the last review can't write. Second, they state that they've never seen another book like it but that there's better for free on the internet, again, not Andy's style. Also there's no ill will between Andy and I that *I* know of.

Texas is a big state. I'm not accusing ANYONE. But I want to know who it is.

[Arrrhalomynn]

punkoffgirl was implying it, not you. And I don't think it's fair she said that.

[punkoffgirl]

punkoffgirl was implying it, not you. And I don't think it's fair she said that.

I wasn't implying anything! Andy told me himself that his book was going to be on Amazon, and while I was reading via the link Joe posted, I decided to search for the Video Game Bible and it's not there! I even asked Joe in IM if he'd heard anything from Andy about it.

[digitalpress]

Alright, I don't like the direction this is going.

It was meant to flush out a cowardly loser, not cause everyone to get defensive. And the last thing I want is for people to think that I'm starting something up with Andy.

So...
