First a vortex opens and out pops Romero, now another one opens up and American McGee shows up from 2001 for some reason.
"GameTap, the first-of-its-kind broadband entertainment network from Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (TBS, Inc.), announced today the latest addition to the GameTap Originals line-up, American McGee’s Grimm. The title cements GameTap’s leadership position as a digital publisher and pioneer in episodic games. The 24 episode series will debut in the spring of 2008."
24 episodes? Let's play over under on how long it will actually last. I'll guess under four episodes. This is the guy who made Bad Day in L.A. people. His time is over and done. I hope he proves me wrong but there are not any celebrities in gaming anymore and it's not a bunch of romanticized garbage anymore where you can make a big game and then drive a Ferrari. I don't know what vodoo American might have put on Gametap to sign up for this but I hope he posts the recipe online. It somehow made Gametap think it was 2001 all over again (before or after 9/11 hasn't been determined yet).
If you aren't doing something for WoW or were smart enough to work for Blizzard in some other capacity and hopefully ask for stock options then you are just a second fiddle in a pool awash with pasty programmers working long hours for little reward except another tick mark on your resume.
Or even worse some jerk blogging on a website about gaming. Gawd those pussies are the dregs of society.
