TitanQuest news on GameSpy...

When it comes to Diablo-style click-fests, the actual storyline kind of takes a back seat to the endless fun of just chopping your way through an endless stream of monsters in search of the next piece of "phat loot."

...

As a result, I find myself a simple first-level -- er, person - standing in the middle of a beautiful field of wheat outside of a town in Greece. One of the residents of that town had an exclamation point over his head, and I've played enough RPGs to know what that means -- he's got a quest for me. Sure enough, a tribe of Satyrs have raided the village, killed a few people and taken some others into the woods for some sort of nefarious purpose. My job, of course, was to kill everything that moved and when I'd killed enough, I'd have saved the village.

Oh my.

So the funny thing is that back in the day, I tried to convince Ironlore to let me write their story while also staying in school, got to the writing test, and wrote a quest involving satyrs raiding a village with a wheat field and taking prisoners (women) into the forest for a nefarious purpose. (They never responded to my submission of the test.) Now, that's such a generic plot (I mean, you're in Greece, where are you going to go but satyrs? and wheat fields are so visually fun!), I'm sure it was developed independently, but suddenly I'm curious to know more details. It would be awesome if they actually used the "we can steal your writing" clause of the application contract.

Not laughing at you WouldBeCreator, I just discovered who they did actually hire as a writer - Randall Wallace, the bloke who wrote Pearl fucking Harbour!

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!
