Peel those eyes, folks.
Jeff, Paul, Adam, Destin and I did a conference call last night with a large number of fan sites, news sites, etc. As usual, we behaved terribly, driving our poor PR liaison Eddiemae insane and rambling for five minutes at a time, but I think the reporters enjoyed it.
I’m not sure when or how exactly it’ll all come out, but be on the look out for coverage in the coming days.
[EDIT] Vid (wisely) asked for a list of sites that were in attendance. I may have missed one or two, but this is the list I jotted down during the roll-call last night:
Logitech interview.
I did an interview with Logitech - the mouse-n-keyboard folks.
Apparently, Marketing cut out the part where I shamelessly begged for freebies, which was probably the right call.
I think the sidebar quote about the Logitech® G9 Laser Mouse counts as my first-ever “celebrity endorsement.”
Wacky.
Ten Ton Hammer interview
As promised, here’s the write up of the interview Lance and I did with Garrett from TTH at the recent EA Press event.
Pwned Radio interview (featuring THE HICKMAN).
Jeff and I made an appearance on the “Pwned Radio” show on 97.1 FM in Detroit over the weekend. You can check it out here. It was a lot of fun, even if the slight delay confused us and caused Jeff and I to talk over each other every now and then.
Apparently, you guys nearly overwhelmed them with questions running up to the interview. Hehe.
EDGE/Next Gen interview
Here’s an interview I did a couple of weeks ago with EDGE/Next gen. They chopped it up into three parts, presumably because I was so exciting that they had total faith in my ability to command return-readership:
Standard caveat: As with any interview I do over the phone, some words and phrases tend to get a tad jumbled when the transcription if finalized. There are a few areas in this interview where mistakes in the transcript make my responses seem a bit wonky, so just be aware. Ditto for typos and such.
Home again, home again.
Super-producer Lance Robertson and I just got back from an EA press event in New York City, so keep your eyes peeled for coverage in the coming weeks (hint: Ten Ton Hammer probably got the best interview of the entire event, since they seemed to not be distracted by the open bar OR the free food and because they’re made of liquid awesome - so relentlessly hammer their site until they cough up a report). We showed off live beta goodness the whole time, including some swanky RvR battles that lasted well over an hour as the two sides clashed again and again vying for control of a town in the early portions of the Empire and Chaos territories. So kudos to the beta testers, even though they had no idea we were watching them.
The weather was nutty and I was convinced we were going to die on our way into LaGuardia, but I think it worked out fairly well in the end. The first day it just rained in a horrible, soul-crushing fashion, but the second day was bright and cool. I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art while I was there and killed the battery in my camera taking pictures of crazy armor and weaponry. I’ll have to post some shots later, as there were some AMAZING pieces that would (and I realize this is perhaps the geekiest thing I’ll ever write) be PERFECT on a Witch Hunter. In fact, there was an entire wing that I’m convinced is secretly just Witch Hunter tools and supplies with sneaky, fake labels attached to them.
Finally, homework:
Go see: Diary of the Dead
Go play: Zombie Fluxx
Have a great weekend!

Interviews: Gamona and WarCry
Here’s the English version of the interview I did for Gamona (translated from German) and here’s the latest WarCry Q&A that Adam, James and I did recently.
[edit] Thanks to Mithrilendil for the heads up that Mondes Persistants just did the translation work. The interview itself was with Gamona. I do so many interviews these days that I lose track of who’s responsible for what.
Update: PC Gamer UK
Here’s a link to the full article on WAR from this month’s PC Gamer UK.
Heads up, Yurpians.
If you have access to it, you MAY want to check out the latest issue of PC Gamer UK that just hit the stands. Wall-to-wall Warhammer, throughout the entire issue.
I’ll see about grabbing some scans later.
