Recently our very own Dr. Aeon sat down with GamePro.com to talk about Mission Architect and the second round of Guest Author missions scheduled to be released this week. There’s a lot of juicy info to be had, so head on over to GamePro to find out all about our next three Guest Authors; Mercedes Lackey, Troy Hickman, and Austin Grossman who are about to make their MA story arc debuts!

Thanks,

Am I missing something? Because it appears to me that that is not an interview, but five paragraphs teasing you about an interview you can read in the future.

Um...

Sure that's the right link? Other than naming some names, there's roughly as much juicy info there as water in the Gobi.

Certainly looks that way.

In that image, is that a different fly/hover pose?

That's an alpha/pre-alpha picture. Dunno why they used such an old pic.

And welcome back Rick!

The real question is, was Hickman pantsless in his interview?

If only there was some sort of database that someone could use to find out find out information like this. Maybe that database could be electronic, and able to be referenced by some sort of computing device.

If only.

Well, I'll join the crowd in questioning theOcho's use of the word juicy in his description, but it's nice to hear that we'll have new Guest Author arcs soon! Hickman, Hickman, Hickman, what, oh what, have you planned for us? Will there be a no-pants policy involved?

I look forward to playing these arcs and salute Dr. Aeon for getting the word out there about Mission Architect.

Edit: 1000th post, awesome!

No interview? CHECK!

Crappy old school picture? CHECK!

WTG MARKETING, WOO!


EDIT: Check it out, Atlas is holding the Death Star.

It seems like it's just an article saying "there will be stuff here tomorrow." Maybe they should have waited until then to post the link? Also I'm digging Atlas in the background, but he kind of looks like he's in the wrong place, not where he is today.

He did say juicy, not meaty, and the juice was in a handy eyedropper.

Hey, it would have to prettier than the image they supplied with the blurb. Wow, the faces of the two hovering figures are flat and ugly. Atlas' Death Star was almost more appealing. Maybe it was just something about how the image is slightly distorted.


Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

Whenever a website pulls the "Big Exclusive Today Right Now Holy Crap Come Look AHHHH!" only to tell me a date in the future when the information will actually be available, I add it to my browser's block settings.

GamePro was already on there, one of the first to earn that distinction in fact. Judging by the comments already in this thread, they haven't changed their style. Guess I'll just wait for these new guest author arcs to go live, and learn about them by playing them rather than giving GamePro any pagehits.

Troy Hickman? Oh HELL Yes. No Pants Required.

Austin Grossman? No idea who that is.
Austin is a game designer who has worked on a bunch of stuff, and also wrote the supervillain novel Soon I Will Be Invincible.

I don't know if he wears pants.

Mercedes IIRC is/was an active player here, and she makes her living writing fantasy novels.

So ... just looked over that bit of mostly no information. It did say that two of the new guest author arcs are going live tomorrow right? I didn't just read that last paragraph wrong?

I mean, I know it said to come look at the webpage tomorrow for any real interviews, but it also seemed to say new guest author arcs live tomorrow.

Also ... seriously horrible picture.
