Today's sermon: You'd think I would just give myself failing marks for ever having raised questions about Take-Two (NasdaqNM:TTWO - News), concede defeat and walk away.
But I can't -- not while the SEC's formal order of investigation is hanging over the company's head. That's what I was thinking this morning when I saw a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune about how Take-Two is paying $28 million in cash plus some stock for Angel Studios.

LOS ANGELES, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Video game software sales were up sharply in October, financial analysts said on Monday, as the hotly-anticipated criminal adventure game "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" made a smash-hit debut.

Software sales were up 73 percent in October and are up 31 percent for the year, Gerard Klauer Mattison analyst Edward Williams said in a research note issued on Monday, citing data released by market research service NPDFunworld last week.

The top story of the month, though, was Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.'s (NasdaqNM:TTWO - News) "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City," which sold 1.4 million units between its Oct. 29 launch and Nov. 2, at an average price of $48 each, generating more than $68 million in projected revenue.

"Vice City," widely expected by analysts to be the best-selling game of 2002 and perhaps one of the top sellers of all time, is the follow-on to "Grand Theft Auto 3," which was the best-selling game of 2001 and has sold more than 7 million units to date.

One other thing. Lots of other system operators get by through control-c and control-ving their way around the internet. Their users then comment on said articles, and make everybody laugh. Or at least snicker.

So far, this place hasn't been like that. But there are only like 10 of us who come here regularly. Should we attempt to have some sort of official "Membership Drive"? I used to do that back in the dial-up days. I have prizes!! Prizes to give away!! Real prizes!!! What does everybody* think?

*The 8** people who come here
**The six*** people who come here
***The two**** people who come here, and all our made-up aliases
