Twilight War interview part 1

[Odin]

RPGVault have posted part 1 of an interview with the Smiling Gator Productions, who is making the new post apocalyptic MMORPG called Twilight War: After The Fall. Here's a snibblet:<blockquote>Jonric: As a brief introduction for our readers, what kind of online world will Twilight War: After the Fall be?

Kingsley Montgomery: Well, I could spend a day talking about this question. Let me see... Twilight War: After the Fall is a-post apocalyptic massive multiplayer online role-playing game with a first-person style interface for combat. I will let Matthew talk about the term we are using to describe it, since neither MMORPG nor FPS does the job, and MMORPG/FPS is just too cumbersome.

Matthew Simmons: As Kingsley alluded to, we've coined a new term to describe Twilight War, XORG, which stands for Extreme Online Role-playing Game. Why? Because we hate acronyms that you can't easily pronounce. Also, because we think the combination of AI, graphics, storyline and adrenaline will truly be something that's never been achieved before.</blockquote>Ok, what the hell.. Extreeeeeeme online crap, it's like they're trying to sell toys to kids eh?

Have you no respect at all for the fact its the first Post-Apocalyptic MMORPG/FPS? (XORG, hehe sounds like an alien name)

Man if I had gotten to this before you I would have had entire page on my site saying "THANKYOU GOD" in big bold font over and over. (just in case my site is: Apocalyptic Warzone)

*claps at the shameless advertising*

 

[Odin]

Statements like XORG is just lame for me, it's like they really are trying to appleal to a kid or something. Especially when they call it EXTREME... Did anyone see the Stargate episode with the Extreme series? That's what this reminds me of..

 

[Claw]

Wormhole Xtreme, hehehe

 

[Macaco]

ok, this is way to good to pass up on.

 

[Stevie D]

Hard to believe there's still a person alive who thinks the word 'extreme' will elicit anything but withering contempt.

 

[Tannhauser]

It was rather funny when they had Wormhole X-Treme! for the hundreth episode of Stargate SG-1. Of course, that was a mockery, but it didn't elicit withering contempt.

"Four X-cellent heros in an X-traordinary new sci-fi series! Wormhole X-Treme, coming this fall!"
