State of B.O.C. / "Ripper" w/ B.O.C.

I don't know if they were sold or pulled for shelf space, but persuing
lately I can't seem to find WOTT in most of the music stores I frequent (did
see them in a circuit city, but that's about it).  Ditto for 3-Pak.  They
did get some more stuff they'd not had in ages (OYFOOYK), but no WOTT.

On another note, caught an ad for "Ripper", the CD-Rom game that has B.O.C.
music.  The first few ads I saw didn't mention anything, but finally the
last one (2-page ad in PC Gamer) mentioned in the list of features (first, I
might add) "* Featuring the music of Blue Oyster Cult".  I've heard iffy
stuff about the game itself, as overblown production and multimedia does not
alone a game make (it's supposed to come on six CD's, and features a number
of known actors), but I may have to pick it up for no other reason than the
soundtrack.... which then leads to wondering if Al (hey, AL) gets stuff from
this as well (I'd imagine so...).  Only thing I've heard is that it will
have DFtR, nothing else on what they'll use.  Since it is set in the future,
with a psychotic killer, there are any number of appropriate tracks they
might use.   We can only hope this killer will at some point go collecting
eyes, eh?

If the game is done right, this could be very good exposure, but this kind
of game has been done so wrong so many times before... I hope this one does
better.  Keepin fingers crossed....
