The Day After...a post-mortem on The Score's April Fool's Day press releases

The responses from yesterday's April Fool's press releases was great! Thanks for the emails - some of you are much funnier than we are.

We're big fans of Tim McGraw's down here at The Score, so he was a natural fit for our Guitar Hero release. There are plenty of 'inside' references to his music within the press release, and we even decided to have the game's fictitious release date be the first of May - his birthday.

Lots of you enjoyed this one.

The enthusiasm was strong, but not as strong, for the GameSlop buying simulator. We understand why - any reminder of spending big, huge piles of money at another retailer, completely unnecessarily, is painful!

In all seriousness, we're glad our little jokes were enjoyed by our customers and our potential customers out there in Nashville and Franklin. Look for us to raise the bar next year with something equally as forced, and not nearly as funny!

Until next time...signing off so we can go run the video game tournaments at MTAC, as well as get ready for this weekend's birthday parties and special groups coming in. Later.
