I’m sure I must have paint drying in the house somewhere. Yes, yes, I think I will go and watch that.

Nice interview, thanks. It’s always good to read about fellow gamers rather than just the people that actually make the game. Buzz is cool, too.
Comment by Jack — Jul 14, 2008 @ 11:15 am
Thanks Jack. Sure, it’s not E3 breaking news but it’s good to balance it with community stuff and it’s nice to hear from gamers like yourself as opposed to the usual interviewees, as you said.

Heh, cool. Can’t wait for the trophies patch.

One of the major points about the new Buzz - and the stuff that comes later, like LBP - is the community created content aspect. And with that comes the chance for people to earn a bit of recognition for their efforts. We think it’s great to interview people like this, they’re gamers like us after all, so why not give them their chance in the limelight.

Good interview. The problem with user quizzes in Buzz is they are criminally short. I invisiged multi-round ‘events’ where the creator could choose the round type and maybe even upload content. 8 questions makes the feature feel like a tacked on afterthought
Comment by TheShirts — Jul 14, 2008 @ 1:36 pm
I agree that the 8 questions is a little limiting, and I would also like to have different round types. For the number of questions, it would be nice to be able to create something that uses multiple question sets and takes random questions from it. Say that we have 8 sets of 8 questions on Buffy, then a round on Buffy trivia would use a playlist of all 8 question sets but just use 8 random questions from the 64.
On the bright-side, I think that a lot of people don’t initially realise that you can already create play-lists of multiple question sets. That does make it more interesting.

who the hell buys this stuff?? Buzz/SingStar/etc it’s pretty close to being the saddest thing ever to do on a console AFAIC.
but i guess if you’re the sort of person who does pub quizes and hangs out in karoke bars then…
yeah….
if i ever catch anyone on my friends list playing, they’re gone

I think its great that this guy has had the chance to answer questions like this, and have them put out for the public to see, it does make for a nice change, excellent idea.
