That's why we decided to do it different. The current format leads to exactly that type of interview. We thought a live interview would work better. Just trying something new

It just goes to show you that Ming is a bastard.

Misdirected links corrected -- thanks for the heads-up, CW.

you're welcome, Dan



re: the focus on posters.
i perceived no such focus, i see it as just another part of the interview, like the comic books and other hobbies.

*checks watch*
still a whole week to go for the rest

[Lancer]

Jon, I might be up for that when I get back from the Phils, thanks for responding.

Not fair, people who can find AH players...

Nice interview though...

Very interesting stuff, my wife doesn't hate games, she merely tolerates them.

Cool!! I'll have to get in my armour sometime and get myself banned!!

Good interview, looking forward to the next part

The elections were wild. Ming agreed. There were the original Apolyton elections where the David's got elected and than Lordstone got elected on some sort of do-over. I used all the different lab computers to put in 50 votes for Ming and elect him to some sort of Senate. Ming got the second most votes. Some other poster like Dom was first...but he cheated. I mean different sort of cheating. Correction to Ming's account: This was before Ming was OT moderator. I haveta think that this had some effect in getting MArk to ask Ming for help (seeing an ON-TOPICER who was known on the Off-topic.) The funny thing is that back in the day, Ming was not in OT very much. He got into more as a result of being moderator and even participated in fun threads like "bashing".

One part that the interview did not talk about much was the intense resistance that Ming got when he took over. It was way more rancourous than the light whining that PH does nowadays. I seriously worried if anybody could stick it out. But he outlasted the Brat Pack.

[Ming]

GP...
The brat pack gets addressed in the second part of the interview

And are you really sure I wasn't a mod when you did a "Chicago" for me and got me elected as a senator? I remember it that way, but you know, as you one gets older...

[spartak]

Nice one guys and its true what venom says.

[Solver]

That just shows that Chris can be Gestapo .

Rah, can't believe you only saw this interview when posted here, I'm almost sure you saw it before.

Generally, I'm starting to think that Rah might be an interesting interview. How's living with Ming? How often does he speak of Apolyton? How much beer does he drink each Christmas ? And, of course, we want photos of him in the strange costumes.

Ming, I really hoped you would send a photo of yourself for the interview. All in all, it's nice to see the man, and many certainly want to see the way you look - just for those cold flames in your eyes.

FoA Ming

Anyone else find that funny?

Oh and I played the Freedom Force Demo the other day. Very interesting, especially if you love those golden age comics. Slightly hard to control but I think it's something you probably get used to. It's got a great character creation system and there are already thousands of skins out there.

You can download it from Gamespy or a lot faster from http://www.freedomforcecenter.com 90 meg but that shouldn't be a problem on DSL.

Not 100% about it but as it comes out in the UK in a month or so I can find out what all the yanks think about it before I decide whether to get it or not.
