I saw the end of a story that ABC did on Christian Video Games. I only saw Catechumen because I saw the latter half. But I heard from my bro. that Orion, and some other Christian Games were shown as well. Did anyone else see this? ------------------ [This message has been edited by brandon (edited August 17, 2005).] |

I don't remember what channel, and I'm not positive what day it was on, I think it was a Sunday, but I saw a small section on the news that was done on Christian Video Games. ------------------ |

quote: Was just talking to Ralph...ABC misquoted him completely because he never said the above. Basically the interview didn't go as well as he had hoped. For heaven's sake, they were comparing his game Catechumen against GTA...a budget game developed with $800,000 compared to a AAA title developed with more than $15,000,000. |

Wow, it's been aired? wonder if they'll post the actualy story online (actualy footage)? I remember this guy because Jake Tapper, the journalist, actually woke me twice last Saturday (3am and 5am)! It was all good - just didn't cater for the Time difference that we have here in Australia! About misquoted - i find that it happens a lot with the media - John Gartner had actually misquoted Laurence (the managing director of WKG), with the comment that the finger of god was used to convert others into Christianity - it's been edited now, but the flames from that comment are still flickering around =( It's nice to see more coverage and exposure - only thing is actually taking each game for the content it has - it's always the same angle.

quote: I know what their next planned release is and the timeframe but I'm not sure if he has done a public announcement (it's not on their news page http://www.n-lightning.com/news.htm ) so he "might" not want me posting that on the net. I'd have to ask him for permission or you can just email him yourself and ask. |

It's funny how just because a secular newspaper or tv show or something does a story on things, it doesn't neccessarily help sell more of whatever it is or gain support. You know, people see it and then they forget... |

True, but it does help get word out in places that may have not been able to hear about the game otherwise. |

I'm glad ABC gave this exposure... I sort of think of ABC as "the enemy" but that's okay-- if God can cause a donkey to speak He can use ABC too! ------------------ c00l 1337z (i have no idea what that means) |
