Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com) has an exclusive video interview (http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/spartantotalwarrior/preview_6131234.html?gcst=spartantw_di2_m2_081605. asx&tag=gs_hp_flashtop_watch) with the attractive English game designer, Sophie Blakemore. In this video, Sophie is wearing a closely fitting "I heart Mario" shirt and discusses gameplay features with a chipper English accent. Notable quotes include, ". . . butt him away from you, get him on the floor, and then stab him in the guts," and "We did a kill count at the end of each level, the player can see it, some of the levels are like 700 to 800 people."
Oh yeah, she's talking about Spartan: Total Warrior but that's not why you should click this link.

I felt dirty just approving this news item and I haven't even clicked on the link. Kudos to bean19 for making me laugh with his unique perspective on a gaming interview.

You don't get out much do you.
But the game looks good.

Yeah the game looked real cool from the footage.
Then she said "there will be stealth missions".

Actually, I was convinced about halfway through the video I wanted to do very inappropriate things to her, and I might even buy the game due to her sexy description of shield usage.

I didn't find her that attractive...but the game looked fun.

If you pause the interview at 4:33 I think you can see a nipple.
She might not be that attractive but I wouldn't kick her out of bed. She would get bonus sex with me if she makes comments like "You've got god like powers" at the appropriate times.
..the game... ..I don't know.

Her...Well...She has a decent body(from what was seen) but the face is a bit off(looks good at some angles but bad at others)...
The game....I don't know...I mean, I miss the idea of throwing legions and legions of Roman warrios into a strategic fray where only the smart survive. This reminds me of a sub-par (so far) copy of God Of War....

Yeah you can see her aerola, dark brown nips.

I must say there’s a hell of a lot more variety in the gameplay than I would have thought. And the story is a lot more interesting than I would have thought (medusa strapped into some kind of lens device?). I’m actually interested in this game now.

Are you looking out the window over her shoulder?
At 4:33 tony braxton hops up and flashes her nip through the window then blasts off in a jetpack.

Ok having just watched it, it seems to be a blend of Dynasty Warriors with God of War, which could be really interesting. Stealth missions worry me, stop with the damn stealth in action games.

Guess he had his beer goggles on when he submitted the story, cause the game was the only really interesting thing in that clip.
OTH, he could live in the middle of nowhere, never seeing any women, much less women involved in gaming.

I kept waiting for the camera to pan back 10 inches or so. I like looking a chicks as much as the next guy but, the camera was set specificially not to show the assets. You gamers should be aware of camera angles.

Stereotypes do have a basis in truth after all.
I'm living proof.

I'd have to agree except I found that even the game looked pretty poor and as much as they try to divert your attention with the talking breasts and deny the truth it still looks like 10 hours of button mashing to me even if some enemy's require "butting", with "700 to 800" per level that's still mashing to me.

The jokes out. I just wanted to point out that this is intentional humor. :)
She does give a great interview though, so people who are interested in the game should definitely give it a look.
For me, this is another "Holiday 2005" title that I'll pick up in a bargain bin someday. I want it, but I won't have the money for it during the holidays as I'm spending that money on other stuff.

It's a more gory version of Dynasty Warriors, it can and quite possibly will work.

Are you kidding? The last girl who came in here barely made a post before being mauled by all the drooling nerds. I don't think she came back to post in another thread.

I used to having a gaming girlfriend once. Why I ever let 'er go, I'll never remember. I just know that it was a very good thing. No one complaining that you stay on the computer too long, that you watch "weird Japanese cartoons", and when she was upset, it was because you hadn't been wasting people in an FPS for a while. Yeah, geek girls are great.

Dammit, why didn't you warn us? I'd of worn my Fruit Fucker shirt to impress her. Now she'll never go out with me.

Oh good god!
I saw the video and expected chat about troop counts on screen and maybe an argument about how every attack looked mildly the same and uninspiring, yet here we are back at 12 year old "ooh a girl.....wanna cyber!" level of irc mentality. Sheesh, i take it all back Jack Thompson, the gaming world can go to hell.

It's only the Evil Avatar site (and a few select others). You don't find such child-like posts everywhere -- well, most.

This post was intentional humor, and I know that most of you got the joke. I'm sorry that not everyone did.
Should I avoid submitting humorous stories because some people cannot recognize, much less appreciate, satire?
Isn't that catering to the lowest common denominator?
