Interview: MMO Gamer
Here’s an interview I did at E for All in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago with Steve Crews from The MMO Gamer – who I apparently disappointed greatly by not being terribly long-winded via email.

Au contraire, more surprised than disappointed.
I just needed to insert an explanation on why questions were mysteriously appearing in the transcript that weren’t in the audio so people didn’t think I had reverted to the time-honored journalistic tradition of “just making stuff up.”
That was a great interview. One of the best I’ve read. Not so much due to info or anything, but just the responses themselves. It’s like reading a casual conversation about the game. Rather than having, “What are the elf classes!”, “How does morale work!” – Which act to dilute most interviews. Some great replies Josh, good work.
You are a popular man. The interview got 4,000 reads (and 800 listens) in the first 24 hours, and has since gone international:

One thing remains the same on all continents and in all languages: No one can ever spell the name of our site correctly.
And, yes, I am that big of a narcissist that I regularly go through the server logs to find out what people are saying about my articles (even if I can’t read the language).
