...So did anyone else see EA's shudder inducing press conference? They basically showed a game being designed by Wesley on the Holodeck or something, with a big boring level full of boxes and generic shooty guys that didn't seem to match any sort of cohesive artistic vision, and then the line... THE line. "Make it more epic", as if we were still living in 2009. Can it also make things more "beast"? ... So, after catching my breath from all the groaning, what I heard was... well generic music that matched tags of "epic" that you can find easily enough on The Youtubes. And then it gave us a pyramid. Yeah... epic... That's one Epic Megagame you've got there you guys. You did it, unsettling "Hello fellow kids" the company.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
