What's this? Another Bootcamp Bulletin so close to the last??? It seems the very tilt of the universe has slid further in your favor and made it so. We are literally bursting with fabulous Psychonauts news and we are willing to risk getting ensnared by your spam filters to deliver that news to you in a timely fashion. Sally forth PSI cadets… and on with the news!
Just kidding. It doesn’t work that way, but you might think it did given the kind of early kick ass scores Psychonauts is landing in the press. Any fan of the game must own the Play magazine May issue. Our boy Raz is on the cover with his paw outstretched, doing his best to influence your purchase decision so you’ll buy it and read the fat eight page cover story where Psychonauts scored a 9 out of 10. Tim’s accompanying interview also reveals the sad truth that the game excludes “sex with squirrels.” Moving on… Playboy scored the game 4 out of 4 bunnies (not those sexy Playboy bunnies, mind you, but the evil, twisted Psychonaut meat bunnies we shouldn’t be mentioning). Perhaps even Hef himself said: "Psychonauts proves that at least one designer still has a sixth sense for making compelling games." That designer would be master of the universe Tim Schafer who up until this point has never graced the pages of a nudie mag (to our knowledge). Next up— Blender —offering up another 4 out of 4 stars and the suggestion that Psychonauts is “contender for game of the year.” Stupendous!
We’re breaking all of those silly fashion rules and permitting you to wear this swank tee seven days a week. This psychedelic Psychonauts shirt is yours free when you pre-order the game at GameStop. Drop everything you're doing and pre-order the game right now!
GameLive is touring the country giving you and your homies the chance to play super cool games like Psychonauts. If your institution of higher learning is one of the lucky stops on the tour, then make sure you drop by because we have three dedicated Xbox game stations of the FULL game. If you want to monopolize the kiosk for the entire day, make sure you bring some sustenance because Psychonauts is packed with gameplay.
The first Psychonauts print ad is sandwiched between the pages of the newest mags hitting the stands soon. Did you ever yearn to make a difference in the world? Now’s your chance! You, fellow PSI Cadet, have the undeniable power to affect so many suspect magazine advertising studies by reading, and actually I-N-T-E-R-A-C-T-I-N-G, with our Psychonauts ad. When you stumble upon it, pause for a moment to take it in, then gently finger open each intriguing little door with loving care. Flip the insert over and peruse the back. Perhaps even tear it out of the magazine and frame it on your wall. We considered hiring a fleet of planes to dump millions of these onto a needy America so we could communicate our single, very important message to every man, woman and child: PSYCHONAUTS IS THE MOST AMAZING GAME YOU WILL EVER PLAY IN YOUR LIFETIME! Sadly, this rather untraditional marketing program has proved cost prohibitive so we’re going to have to rely on you to pass our message along. Godspeed, soldier!

The Psychonauts launch date draws nigh. Get in line now.
