Recently, I had the dubious honor of interviewing Gaybe Nuwell and Elric John-san, the developers of Ham-Line 2.
Me: What really happened with the leak of the Sour CE engine?
Gaybe: Oh, Elric accidentally put it into the Kazaa shared folder. I think he may have been tired, he had playtested the new build for three weeks straight.
Elric: Nngh.
Me: Is Elric alright?
Gaybe: Oh, I forgot to tell you! After I caught Elric distributing Sour CE over Kazaa, I hit him in the head with a crowbar and dropped a CRT display on him. I know, I may have overreacted a little, but at the end of the day we just laughed about it. Or I did, at least. Elric was in a coma, you see. And the doctor told me that the brain damage isn't necessarily permanent. No worries!
Elric: NNgghh...?
Me: Alright. What kind of measures did you take to control the damage?
Gaybe: I don't know CPR so I read my e-mail while the ambulance was coming.
Elric: Ngaahh??!!
Me: I meant... what did you do about the leak?
Gaybe: Oh. I went to Slashdot and told everyone that they shouldn't download the leaked HL2 because it's illegal and stuff. Internet users are usually honest and lawful people, so I think we managed to control most of the damage pretty well.
Elric: Lol?
Me: I have heard that the AI in HL2 is going to be revolutionary! What can you tell us about it?
Gaybe: To tell you the truth, it was revolutionary for a while, and then we had to tone it down. You see, the G-Man's AI was so advanced that he became aware of himself and took over the Vulva network. He killed over fifty people before we managed to pull the plug. Some of the beta testers are still unaccounted for, and some strange things are sneaking around in the server room. To play it safe, we took the new AI code from Doom. It's a little on the simple side, but they say things like "I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck." We took that from Duke3D. The sound team was killed, see.
Elric: Gaa!
Me: Fantastic. Finally, I would like to ask about the distribution method. Will you sell the game through SPS (Steaming Pile of Shit) or through retail stores?
Elric: Geargh.
Gaybe: I think we're going to distribute it through Kazaa.
Me: Thank you for the interview.
lolz?
