Barnett: 'The Sort Of Money My Mum Approves Of'

This article contained embedded media which can no longer be displayed.

I'm off to interview Paul Barnett, Creative Director at Mythic for Warhammer Online in That There London tomorrow. As part of my research, I'm watching his presentation from the LIFT conference site (Which has a mass of videos to watch. I'll probably move on to the oft-brilliant Robin Hunicke next). Now, if you've been following Warhammer, you'll probably have seen Paul speak before. But that's Paul in selling-the-game mode. Here, we have his high-speed delivery applied to a much more serious topic. There's lots of Barnettisms ("We'll be playing games on cans of soup!"), but these are bigger issues than how Dark Elves are a bit like Lord Byron. But, yes, we get a massively extended metaphor about how videogames really shouldn't be like Las Vegas...
