Interview Mass Effect interview

Off topic, but I've had a bunch of setbacks with my new computer, including a hard drive failure that wiped out everything I'd written up to that point (and all of my recent NWN2 saves). It'll take some reconstruction and maybe a speck of optimism. :wink:

You have to have some serious patience if you can force yourself to go through those dungeons again.

"The first few responses to this interview at the Bioware forum are funnier than the actual finterview. You should read that, Volo."

I did about an hour ago. Some of the responses are beyond silly, and go to the EXTREME.

Genius.

Best interview ever. What will be even more interesting is when we look back after the game is released and compare it to the information here.

The scary part is that Bioware feels it's necessary to tell people it's fake. Shouldn't that be obvious in a sane world? Oh, right...

"I'll need bodybags. Lots of them" Funny shit.

I laughed my ass off reading the part where

So much in fact that I had to paste it all over. It was only a couple of paragraphs later that I realized it wasn't real but it's still hilarious. I love you so much. All of you. In the most homoerotic way you can imagine.



iRC log, comments on it:

Prove it by PMing him pictures of your homoerotic love. He will be really pleased by that.

Dear Chris Priestly

I think almost all of the codex members realize that the interview with Casey Hudson is FAKE. The codexers being able to read between the lines as well as being able to gather from the screenshots that the interviw is a parody...

Most codex members seem to be (very) intelligent --- they are surely able to recognoze FAKE interview when the see one.

However, having read several of the real interviews which Casey has given...

well, they might as well be --- shall we say --- very close to the FAKE codes interview.

The point is, you didn't, Buck. You were 100% certain it's the real deal, which was the reason for this exercise. :wink:

Christ, check out this idiot from that thread:

You cannot script such stupidty. The main character has dialogue options to bash the face of woman with his rifle, murder refugees and stuff them in body bags, activate EXTREME modes with a press of a button, massive lens flares, and its the FONT of the text that makes you scratch your head believing something's amiss? I mean are you fucking kidding me, or what?

And he noticed tha the text is too long. The screenshots were too verbose!

Nice job by the Bioware PR department. If anything, you should be praising the 'Fake But Accurate' Codex Interview, it actually managed to make your game seem more complex to fans.

Solid gold. Again, this only shows how close to reality it was. The reasons for Sherlock spotting the fake are quite sad in a way.

Curses the codex has been foiled by our own verbosity!

I'm curious to see the discretion (or lack thereof) given in their next interview after this minor hubbub. Will they continue to go overboard with the buzzwords, or did they realize how ridiculous they sound (thanks to the fake interview) and change course?

I'm starting to want EXTREME dialogue options in AoD. If someone is trying to give me a quest I don't like, can I hit them with my shield and yell "ENOUGH TALKING, IT'S TIME TO GET EXTREME"?

I'd like an option like that with the Foozle.

COMEDY GOLD

Well, guys, looks like we won. Time to pack up and head for home.

When does dude show up to tender his concession?

No, its more like idiots exist and are the average person, so we sit around figuring out ways to cope with the dumbing down of the genre. This includes funny interviews that should have been taken seriously but due to the rediculous nature in which games are advertised its all to close to reality.

Or: "I can't believe that people, like, spend time and energy criticizing wayward aspects of things they care about. I mean, couldn't just, like, kick back and watch some Survivor and drink a beer?"

That said, I can't imagine it took VD more than an hour or two cutting and pasting Casey's quotes and then adding a flourish here and there for dramatic effect.

Poor Jack Bauer.
