Happy anniversary, Ghostbusters 2, and The Video Game.




27th.
28th.

Ahh, what the Hell, why not?
I almost didn't observe it, but next year is the 30th for GB2, and the 10th for TVG.

GB:TVG has an important role to play in the lore.
I watched the cut-scene movie after marathon-ing GB1, GB2, and GB:ATC the day after Ghostbusters Day to refresh my memory.
GB:TVG sets up P.C.O.C. (pronounced "Peacock") the Paramornal Contracts Oversight Commission, and that ends up being a big plot thread in the IDW comics.
Basically, PCOC is just Walter Peck (dickless from the first movie), and it's his way of snooping around in the GB's business on behalf of the government.

But really, its the writer's way of keeping the best GB human antagonist around.
And it all starts in GB:TVG, and that was written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis.

So, fire up GB2, or give the cut-scene movie of GB:TVG a whirl if you haven't before.
Or, do both!
