[0:11] *** Topic is 'Kingpin chat on Thursday, March 18th at 6PM Pacific!.'
[1:51] <Meghan> Welcome everyone.. :)
<KungFu[pkp]> !
[1:51] <Meghan> We'll be starting in a few minutes.
[1:51] <Meghan> Xatrix has to get here first. ;)
[1:51] <Meghan> So in the meantime, here's some instructions, some rules, and some tips!
[1:52] <Meghan> Welcome to the Kingpin chat! If you have a question for the team, here's how to get on the list: If you are using an IRC client, type "/msg meghan addme" without quotes. If you're using a browser, click on Meghan's name, then click on Whisper, type addme and press enter.
[1:52] <Meghan> If you are using your browser to chat, click on my name to highlight it, click on the Whisper button in the lower right of the chat window, and type "addme" without the quotes. Remember to click on the Talk button again after whispering! You MUST be in #interplay when your turn comes up or you will be skipped.
[1:52] <Meghan> If you're waiting in line to ask a question, now is a good time to type it into a text editor like Notepad, highlight the text, hit ctrl-c to copy it, and when your turn comes up, hit ctrl-v to paste it in. Remember to keep questions short and sweet :)
[1:52] <Meghan> Please do NOT ask when the release date is. The information is available elsewhere. Don't ask questions that are answered on the website! Also, please refrain from profanity or vulgarity out of respect for our younger attendees.

[1:58] <Meghan> Heeey!
[1:58] <Meghan> Hi guys :)
[1:58] <Drew> Hello...
[1:59] <Greg> Hello!
[1:59] <Meghan> Go ahead and get settled.. and let me know when you want to start.
[1:59] <Drew> Let's do it!
[1:59] <Greg> We got Rafael Paiz and Dan Koppel here too.
[2:00] <Meghan> Cool!
[2:00] <Meghan> Okay.. I have a couple of minutes past 6 by my clock, so we'll start.
[2:00] <Meghan> Although people will still arrive during the chat.
[2:00] <Meghan> If you're using mIRC, you can turn off the messages where people come into and leave the channel by going to Options, then IRC Switches.
[2:00] <Greg> Hi Rhett!
[2:01] <Meghan> It makes the chat a little easier to follow.
[2:01] *** Geniuser (~jerichoholic@host-209-214-0-218.mia.bellsouth.net) has joined #interplay
[2:01] <Meghan> Okay.. Xatrix! Could you introduce yourselves and tell us what your roles are in developing Kingpin?
[2:01] <Drew> I'll go first...Drew Markham, President and Lead Designer of Xatrix...
[2:02] <Greg> Greg Goodrich... Executive Producer and COO of Xatrix...
[2:02] <Drew> Dan Koppel, Technical Co-ordiantor and Senior Level Designer...
[2:02] <Greg> Rafael Paiz, Lead Programmer at Xatrix
[2:03] <Meghan> Awesome.. okay, do you guys have any announcements or comments or anything else you want to share?
[2:03] <Drew> Yes, one little fairly insignificant announcement...Looks like the demo will ship this weekend...
[2:03] <Meghan> I know everyone's anxious to know about the demo :)
[2:03] <Drew>
[2:03] <Meghan> That's hardly insignificant :) Will it be covermounted or available for download immediately?
[2:04] <Drew> Should be available for download immediately, although its not going to be petite...
[2:04] <Meghan> What is these days?
[2:04] <Drew> please repeat?
[2:04] <Meghan> Slade messaged me and wants to announce that Rafael (okay, his wife) had a baby over the weekend?
[2:05] <Greg> Yes he did... Mark Benjamin Paiz!!!
[2:05] <Meghan> Cool!! Congrats, Rafael :)
[2:05] <Drew> Its looks like the demo will be around 100 megs.
[2:05] <Meghan> Any more comments, announcements, anything else before we go to questions?
[2:06] <Drew> That's 100megs ZIPPED, of course! ;)
[2:06] <Meghan> That *is* a big download. Sounds like Get Right would be in order for those on dialup connections.
[2:06] <Drew> We're ready for interrogation!
[2:06] <Meghan> Okay! Let me give the instructions again for the newcomers, and rules and tips.
[2:06] <Greg> Let the beat down begin.
[2:06] <Meghan> Welcome to the Kingpin chat! If you have a question for the team, here's how to get on the list: If you are using an IRC client, type "/msg meghan addme" without quotes. If you're using a browser, click on Meghan's name, then click on Whisper, type addme and press enter.

[2:07] *** blah is now known as IlIIllllI1
[2:07] <Meghan> Phew..
[2:07] <Greg> Can I use profanity?
[2:07] <Drew> Man, can you type fast!
[2:07] <Meghan> Yeah, lots of practice :)
[2:07] <Meghan> Well, Greg, you could, but remember that your contract with Interplay says we're not liable for your actions.. okay, just kidding :)
[2:08] <Meghan> Okay.. first question then!
[2:08] *** Meghan sets mode: -v Meghan
[2:08] *** Meghan sets mode: +v Eddy
[2:08] <Meghan> Go ahead, Eddy
[2:08] <Eddy> Will MP be the standard shoot-and-kill fare or will it be like an online crime community? (BTW Greg, I got the posters! Thnx!)
[2:09] <Drew> At the moment, MP is fairly standard, although we are exploring other options for a more persistent on-line world.
[2:09] <Eddy> Thank you
[2:09] <Meghan> Thanks Eddy..
[2:10] <Drew> Meghan, a few more comments about MP are in order...
[2:10] <Meghan> Xatrix, I should have mentioned this before, sorry. Give me a GA when I can go ahead to the next question.
[2:10] <Meghan> Nodders, go for it!
[2:11] <Drew> We are interested in a lot of different variants on CTF, and we are about to open a dialogue with the community to see what people would really like...
[2:11] <Drew> GA
[2:11] <Meghan> Thanks again, Eddy :)
[2:11] *** Meghan sets mode: -v Eddy
[2:11] *** Meghan sets mode: +v NipGnik
[2:11] <Meghan> Go ahead, NipGnik
[2:11] <NipGnik> I'm wondering about vehicles and multiplayer. Will you drive them, and aim at the same time? Will the crosshairs be fixed before you, or will you be able to drive and shoot in different directions? Will there be vehicles in multiplayer? What different vehicles are there? What weapons can you use on the vehicle? Can you answer all these questions? hehe, jk btw, I love as many multi possibilities as you can
[2:11] <NipGnik> hehe, a little long there
[2:12] <Meghan> Yup.. fill in the blank? :)
[2:12] *** Octane is now known as Octane_VE
[2:12] <Drew> No prob...The vehicle code has been frozen for a little while as we have been working on locking down the other game elements. As it stands at the moment, it looks like your crosshairs will be fixed...
[2:13] *** Dire_AWAY is now known as DireWooP
[2:13] <Drew> Currently there is a motorcycle, a mini-sub and jet pack.
[2:13] <Drew> GA
[2:13] <NipGnik> wow
[2:13] <NipGnik> multiplayer?
[2:13] <NipGnik> vehicles?
[2:14] <Drew> Don't know yet for MP on vehicles...Still working on getting some other cool stuff into MP, like individually targetted body parts.
[2:14] <NipGnik> cool guys, thanks
[2:14] <Meghan> Thanks NipGnik :) By the way folks, if you have more questions you can get back into the queue. We might not get back to you in time, but it's worth a shot ;)
[2:14] <Meghan> Thanks :)
[2:14] *** Meghan sets mode: -v NipGnik
[2:14] *** Meghan sets mode: +v O_DOGG
[2:14] <Meghan> Go ahead, O_DOGG
[2:14] <O_DOGG> These 3 Cypress Hill songs on the Kingpin website... Is this the whole soundtrack of Kingpin and is there other than Cypress Hill music on it?
[2:15] <Greg> Yeah... the songs will be with and without lyrics. B-Real, Muggs and Bobo are also doing some voices.
[2:15] <Greg> 6 tracks total
[2:15] <O_DOGG> Thank you!
[2:16] <Greg> GA
[2:16] <Meghan> Thanks O_DOGG :)
[2:16] *** Meghan sets mode: -v O_DOGG
[2:16] *** Meghan sets mode: +v MinusOne
[2:16] <Meghan> Go ahead, MinusOne
[2:16] <MinusOne> Will the game have a solid storyline, which already has a solid end, or a strategic/make-money/whack people flexible storyline?? with multiple ends, which would take longer to finish...(BTW, For the demo download, I suggest>> Gigex)
[2:17] <MinusOne> (SP ofcourse)
[2:17] <Drew> A little of both, actually. There are, of course, fixed scenaric points in the storyline, but how you get there is up to you. No one here at Xatrix plays the game the same way, and that's what we love about it.
[2:17] <Drew> As for GIGEX, I agree completely! :)

[2:26] <Enrage> plus shiping?
[2:27] <Drew> Seriously, we feel that one of the biggest things that we've worked to acheive in KP is creating a world where you feel like the characters are alive and have their own agendas.
-> *meghan* addme
[2:27] -Meghan- Thank you! You have been added to the queue.
[2:27] <Enrage> whos going lower?
[2:27] <Enrage> 78 going once
[2:27] <Drew> You never quite know what is going to happen, or what someone will say or do.
[2:27] <Enrage> 78 going twice
[2:27] <Drew> SOLD!
[2:27] <Enrage> SolD for 78!
[2:27] <Meghan> *grin*
[2:27] *** Xenos is now known as Xenos[pkp]
[2:27] <Enrage> so how will those agendas be managed will you get hints at the start?
[2:28] *** Little_Blue_Devil is now known as Chota
[2:28] <Enrage> or will you get the freedom to choose tasks at the begining?
[2:28] <Drew> There will be a text file that you probably won't read, but I'd suggest that you do <g>
[2:28] <Meghan> Hehe
[2:28] <Drew> When you first start KP...
[2:28] <Enrage> i hope you know what i mean :)
[2:29] <Drew> You absolutely cannot just kill everyone that you seen. If you try that sh*t, you'll wind up assuming room temperature quickly.
[2:29] <Drew> You'll need to talk to people on the street to find out what the haps are.
[2:29] <Enrage> sweet
[2:30] <Enrage> so its like a living city eh?

[2:30] <Meghan> Okay okay :P
[2:30] <Meghan> Welcome to the Kingpin chat! If you have a question for the team, here's how to get on the list: If you are using an IRC client, type "/msg meghan addme" without quotes. If you're using a browser, click on Meghan's name, then click on Whisper, type addme and press enter.
[2:30] <Meghan> If you are using your browser to chat, click on my name to highlight it, click on the Whisper button in the lower right of the chat window, and type "addme" without the quotes. Remember to click on the Talk button again after whispering! You MUST be in #interplay when your turn comes up or you will be skipped.
[2:31] <Meghan> I can outspam you both!
[2:31] <Drew> damn, she's FAST...
[2:31] <Meghan> :)
[2:31] <Meghan> That's why I make the big bucks.
[2:31] <Meghan> (She dreams)
[2:31] <Meghan> Go ahead, Billybob
[2:31] *** Meghan sets mode: -v Enrage
[2:31] *** Meghan sets mode: +v Billybob
[2:31] <Billybob> Ryan Feltrin has commented in his .plan file on how well the TNT 2 runs Kingpin, but have you guys tried out the Savage 4 chip? And if so, will you support the S3TC standard for the Savage 4? (And can I have a poster too? :) )
[2:31] <Drew> that's why you paid attention in typing class...
[2:31] <Meghan> It's all from BBS'ing ;)
[2:31] <Drew> No, we haven't had a chance yet, but will be hopefully very soon.
[2:31] <Billybob> By the way,thanks guys for your time tonight..I'll be coming to E3 to cover it for my newspaper, so I hope to meet some of you down there ;)
[2:32] <Greg> We will be giving away a poster or two later during this chat
[2:32] <Meghan> I think Alison mentioned the word "hat" too :)
[2:32] <Billybob> ohh..hat :)
[2:32] <Greg> And a hat...
[2:32] <Meghan> You know, you can never have enough hats.
[2:32] <Erin> she...well we did!
[2:32] <Drew> a hat with a bullet hole in it.
[2:32] <Meghan> HEY! There's Erin.
[2:32] <Greg> I've got Kingpin cigars as well...
[2:32] <Billybob> Cigs ;)
[2:33] <Drew> Yeah, nice but don't smoke 'em unless you want to go to the emergency room.
[2:33] <Meghan> She spoke! Just FYI for the people here, Erin is the PR manager at Interplay for Kingpin.
[2:33] <Meghan> I have some of those cigars, too.
[2:33] <Drew> They're officially known as KP dogrockets.
[2:33] <Greg> Not blunted ones.
[2:33] <Drew> That's personal stash, bro. heheh
[2:33] <Meghan> Billybob.. did you get your question answered, or did we get totally sidetracked?
[2:34] <Billybob> welll..i have one more..can you type in what you say to people in the game
[2:34] <Billybob> sorry..:)
[2:34] <Drew> No, the conversation in KP is handled through a couple of hot keys...
[2:34] <Drew> Positive, Neutral and NASTY...
[2:34] <Billybob> thanks again
[2:35] <Drew> The game doesn't stop when you're talking to someone, unlike here in IRC chat...
[2:35] <Drew> ga
[2:35] <Meghan> Thanks Billybob, hope to see you at E3 :)
[2:35] *** Meghan sets mode: -v Billybob
[2:35] *** Meghan sets mode: +v AciDHeLL
[2:35] <Meghan> Go ahead, AciDHeLL
[2:35] <AciDHeLL> How significant is locational damage in multiplayer i.e. will a brain shot always kill and will leg shots slow you down, arm shots make your accuracy worse etc. or will there just be different anims? Can you shoot the pistol gangsta style or have akimbo pistolas? Also, will their be multileveled buildings? Also, please say just one more thing about the demo...it tides me over.
[2:35] <Drew> Good question...
[2:35] <Drew> We are currently investigating how that will work, but what we would like is something like what you are talking about...
[2:35] <AciDHeLL> mmmm 100 megabytes
[2:36] <AciDHeLL> cool
[2:36] <Drew> Whether it is doable or not remains to be seen.
[2:36] <AciDHeLL> Im not talking Rainbow 6 just something more realistic.
[2:36] <Drew> Yes, there will be multi-leveled buildings, lots of rooftop jumping and ankle sprains.
[2:36] <Drew> The environments are definitely real-world.
[2:37] <AciDHeLL> How bout the gangsta style and the akimbos?
[2:37] <AciDHeLL> I saw a model in the avi doing it gangsta style
[2:37] <AciDHeLL> the girl one
[2:38] <Greg> Right now the pistol is a Colt style 1911. The enemies will shoot Hollywood gangsta style...
[2:38] <AciDHeLL> akimbos?
[2:38] <Drew> Yeah, but with tons of killer mods.
[2:38] <Drew> In fact, the mods for the pistol will keep it a weapon that you will want to use throughout the game.
[2:39] <Greg> Magnum mods, rapid fire mods, silencers... etc.
[2:39] <Greg> Speed loader too
[2:39] <Drew> The magnum mod is the sh*t!
[2:39] <AciDHeLL> Sweet
[2:39] <Drew> And no lame tree-hugging hippies, either!
[2:39] <AciDHeLL> One more thing
[2:39] <Drew> Whoops! Sorry about that one.
[2:39] * Meghan lets go of her tree.
[2:39] <AciDHeLL> Im still confused about the time period
[2:39] <Drew> Wrong chat room.
[2:39] <AciDHeLL> Is it modern?
[2:40] <Drew> You too? So are we!
[2:40] <AciDHeLL> Or is it old mafia times?
[2:40] <Drew> No, its a fictional time period, somewhere between the 1930's and now.
[2:40] <Meghan> It's an alternate reality.
[2:40] <Drew> The best of both worlds.
[2:40] <Greg> It was te only way to get past the Interplay censors.
[2:40] <AciDHeLL> Like ghetto mafia
[2:40] <Meghan> Hahahaha
[2:40] <AciDHeLL> Haha
[2:40] <Drew> <g>
[2:40] <Meghan> I know those censors. They're tough cookies.
[2:40] <AciDHeLL> Thanks a lot guys
[2:41] <Greg> I have a question
[2:41] <Drew> No prob.
[2:41] <Meghan> ?
[2:41] <Greg> What is Akimbos?
[2:41] <AciDHeLL> Dual pistols
[2:41] <Drew> For $50, go ahead Greg, select the next category!
[2:41] <AciDHeLL> Akimbo=side by sid
[2:41] <Meghan> rofl
[2:41] <AciDHeLL> The meaning of akimbos is side by side
[2:41] <Greg> Ahh
[2:41] <AciDHeLL> SO Im saying two akimbos
[2:42] <AciDHeLL> wait not two akimbos
[2:42] <AciDHeLL> 2 pistols
[2:42] <Greg> 4 pistols

[2:42] <Eminem101> Ok, First I just wanna say That You Guys rock, Ok Here's the question. Why are you guys giving such a big part of the game just as a demo. I mean 1 episode is a alot. I mean theres only 6 episodes. Thanks!!! Also I would like to confess something horrible. I'm the one that posted that fake demo message on the message board. I'm a stupid dumbas* for doing it and I should get a ass wiping from Greg personal for using his name. I'm sorry for d

[2:43] *** Enrage is now known as [fusioncore]Enrage
[2:43] <Drew> Well, we felt that we need to give the first episode for people to understand the mechanics and depth of the gameplay.
[2:43] <Eminem101> I just had to.
[2:44] <Drew> Believe me, there's a lot more to come after that.

[2:51] <Greg> Do you work for Activision?
[2:51] <Meghan> Because of their great PR staff.
[2:51] <getem> nope
[2:51] <Meghan> :)
[2:51] <Erin> Thanks Meg-
[2:52] <Drew> Don't know about the interphone thingy. As for Activision, they were out of the office the day we made the deal. <g>

[2:58] <Drew> If only Guttenberg had known...
[2:58] <Meghan> [ben1123:~ben1123@bsisneroz.ne.mediaone.net] I was wondering if the game will support the 3dnow technology found in amd k6 2 processors
[2:58] <Meghan> (he sent me the question)
[2:58] <Drew> Rafael says, unfortunately not.
[2:59] <ben1123> will there be a patch later on maybe?
[2:59] <Drew> we'll see.
[2:59] <Greg> He actually said ... impossible
[2:59] <ben1123> one more thing
[2:59] <Drew> yes?
[2:59] <ben1123> will there be lots of voice and cinematic cutscenes in the game?
[2:59] <Drew> Damn, I shouldn't have had all those Dr. Pepper's right before the chat session...
[3:00] <ben1123> will there be any classic one liners like you see in duke or other games?
[3:00] <Drew> There won't be lots of them, but the ones that will be there will be used to move the storyline along.
[3:00] <Greg> All of the cutscenes are in game and scripted in the engine.
[3:00] <ben1123> When do you guys expect to have the demo out? estimated time?
[3:00] <Drew> Sometime this weekend.
[3:00] <ben1123> cool

[3:02] <Meghan> Morning Dinky..
[3:02] *** Slade is now known as Slade[TF[

[3:02] <dinky{BoC]}> ?
[3:02] *** ToAstA is now known as {BoC}_ToAstA
[3:02] <Drew> Well, you generally pry it out of the cold dead hands of your enemies...
[3:03] <Greg> or craxk safes
[3:03] <dinky{BoC]}> can you sell or trade your old guns?
[3:03] <Drew> Greg is smoking too much craxk
[3:03] <Meghan> He should switch to a lighter brand.
[3:04] <Drew> Not really, we chose to focus on making a good selection of cool weapons, not tons of so-so ones. So, the ones that you get you'll need througout the game.
[3:04] <Greg> througout?
[3:04] <dinky{BoC]}> sorry still not awake yet
[3:04] <Drew> sorry, that craxk wafted into the room from Greg's office...
[3:04] <dinky{BoC]}> yeah that's it for now
[3:04] <Greg> Isn't that a dental problem?

[3:05] <Meghan> Go ahead, Geniuser
[3:05] <Geniuser> Two questions, oh great Interplay/Xatrix game Gods.... :)
[3:05] <Drew> cyal8r
[3:05] <Geniuser> Will reaction sounds be different depending on the body part damaged ? (ie, Say if you shoot someone in the leg, he will yelp in pain, but maybe if you hit him in the groin he will curse loudly) ?
[3:05] * Geniuser is actually voiced.... Hi Mom! Whooo! :P
[3:05] <Drew> Well, it certainly seems like that when you're playing!
[3:05] <Geniuser> second...\
[3:05] <Geniuser> How interactive will the KP environment be? I mean, will I be able to knock over a table for cover? Or break into a door with my shotgun? Or hide in a dumpster (and if so, will the enemy actually run past, trying to find me?) Woah, this is a pretty long question, isn't it? :P
[3:05] <Drew> Seriously, there are a number of pain sounds that are determined a variety of factors.
[3:06] <Greg> The reaction animations are based on targeted damage... yes.
[3:06] <Drew> Yes, you can hide in a dumpster, but you'll probably need to wash up l8r.
[3:06] <Geniuser> Sorry if I am going too fast... I've been smoking some premium crack to pass the time until the Kingpin Demo.... mmmm. wasted....
[3:07] <Drew> There will be a number of interactive elements in the game, but as I'm sure you are all aware, there's a limited bandwidth as to what we can actually do...
[3:07] <Drew> We toyed with the idea of making every single thing in the game work, but the levels wound up being the size of an airstream trailer.
[3:07] <Geniuser> Am I to assume an airstream trailer is big? :)
[3:07] <Drew> So, we make the best possible compromises for max gameplay.
[3:07] <Drew> You are to assume that it is not!
[3:08] <Geniuser> Yes, oh Great One@!
[3:08] <Drew> Can we snap this up? I'm due for a steno gig in night court in a few minutes...
[3:08] <Geniuser> Thanks guys.
[3:08] <Geniuser> Xatrix rules.
[3:08] <Drew> np
[3:08] <Meghan> This question, or the whole chat? ;)
[3:08] <Erin> Can Greg answer for another 15-20 minutes?
[3:09] <Drew> Erin, are your fingers working again? I thought that I broke both of your hands...

[3:21] <Slade[TF]> I assume you can get through it pretty fast now heh
[3:21] <Drew> Probably for a good gamer...yeah.
[3:21] <Drew> Still takes a while, if you don't cheat! <g>

[3:24] <Eddy> Can you still shoot bodies after they are down? Sometimes it's fun to pump 20 rounds into a dead guy just to watch'em twitch! BTW, should I act out all the violence I see in video games on my parents and small animals? Sorry my question sucks, just got back from fire drill!
[3:24] <Drew> Not only can you shoot bodies after they are down, but you can watch them disintegrate.
[3:24] <Meghan> Boom. Squelch.
[3:24] <Eddy> YeaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!
[3:24] <Drew> As for the second part, no. You should only act out your violent tendencies virtually.
[3:25] <Erin> Are you seeking therapy, Eddy
[3:25] <Eddy> Hey all! Drew did the vioces in Redneck Rampage!
[3:25] <Meghan> Think of it as.. therapy.

<KungFu[pkp]> *yawn* hey fellas
[3:26] <Drew> hey hey
[3:26] <Greg> Hey Hong Kung Phooey
<KungFu[pkp]> Bout that crowbar....is it in there just for rearranging faces or is it gonna have a proper use? Also have you got anymore weapons up your sleeves? It seems to me KP is missing some sort of throwable weapon/placeable weapon...like dynamite.
[3:26] <Meghan> He's stayed up waaay late, too.
<KungFu[pkp]> heh yeh damn straight
[3:27] <Drew> The crowbar is also useful for opening up ammo crates.
[3:27] <Drew> We are still tinkering with the throwable explosives.
<KungFu[pkp]> also....
[3:27] <Drew> But the rocket launcher is absolutely amazing...Too bad its not in the demo!
<KungFu[pkp]> at the end of the avi..there's a guy in the background doing like a errr linedance..is that just an animation f*ck up?
[3:28] <Drew> Nah, he was just jazzed that his gang beat down all those other punks.
[3:28] <Meghan> No, there's line-dancing in the game. It's an easter egg.
[3:29] <Drew> Call it an AI quirk.
[3:29] * Meghan ducks.
<KungFu[pkp]> hahah yeeeeehawwww im happy now *ahem*
[3:29] <Drew> Whap!
[3:29] <Meghan> Ha! Missed me.

[3:29] *** Meghan sets mode: +v O_DOGG
[3:29] <Meghan> Go ahead, O_DOGG
[3:29] <O_DOGG> It's me again:)))I just had to ask: Do you have other models in Kingpin except the woman and the big, bulky guy? Something like a skinny guy maybe? And (this is non-Kingpin related) do you plan on doing something more in the Cyberia series? That game was f*ckin amazing!!!
[3:30] <Drew> Well, there is a new character in the demo that has not been seen in public. He's the runt, and he's very cool. Extremely hand with a pipe.
[3:30] <Greg> The dogs are also in the demo.
[3:30] <O_DOGG> Cool
[3:30] <Drew> There will be a skinny guy l8r...And look for Cyberia 3D sometime in 2024!
[3:31] <Meghan> Heheh
[3:31] <O_DOGG> Damn...:)
[3:31] <O_DOGG> One more.
[3:31] <O_DOGG> What weapons are in the demo?
[3:31] <Drew> The pipe, crowbar, pistol (with mods) shotgun and a special hidden surprise secret weapon!
[3:32] <O_DOGG> Thanks a lot, guys!
[3:32] <Drew> you bet
[3:32] <Meghan> Thanks O_DOGG :)

[3:32] *** Meghan sets mode: +v _madmax_
[3:32] <Meghan> Go ahead, _madmax_
[3:32] <Meghan> laag
[3:32] <_madmax_> How will Kingpin editing differ from other Quake2-based engines? What are some of the highlights? And is Xatrix hiring anytime soon?
[3:32] <_madmax_> nice lag ;)
[3:33] <Meghan> :)
[3:33] <Drew> Editing in KP is certainly more complex in Q2, due to all of the new entities and special tricks.
[3:33] <Greg> We are looking for a production assistant right now.
[3:33] <Drew> Tons of new surface properties...
[3:34] <_madmax_> anything real cool that stands out?
[3:34] <Drew> Cool AI stuff...
[3:34] <_madmax_> heheh i'm no PA
[3:34] <Greg> Always looking for talented people.
[3:34] <Drew> There's so much new stuff (and we're all so fried right now) that its tough to pick out anything.
[3:34] <_madmax_> sounds great!
[3:35] <Drew> If your a level designer, send your resume to Dan Koppel, c/o of Xatrix Entertainment.
[3:35] <Greg> What do you do?
[3:35] <_madmax_> greg: i'm talented, how should i get a hold of you?
[3:35] <_madmax_> digital art
[3:35] <Greg> Maxx Kaufman?
[3:35] <Erin> Is this JObtrak?
[3:35] <Meghan> Monster Chat.
[3:35] <Drew> I'm good at small appliance repair.
[3:35] <_madmax_> no i'm not kaufman
[3:35] <Meghan> I type really fast.
[3:35] <Greg> send me an email.
[3:36] <Drew> Here to clean-up I hope.
[3:36] <_madmax_> whats your email greg?
[3:36] <Drew> The janitor, that is!
[3:36] <Greg> greg@xatrix.com
[3:36] <Meghan> Okay.. we're going to go for a couple more minutes, then wrap up. Hopefully we will get to everyone, but there's a good chance we won't :(
[3:36] <_madmax_> btw you guys have a great company! i'm done take over meghan. thanks

[3:36] *** Meghan sets mode: +v SHO
[3:36] <Meghan> Go ahead, SHO
[3:37] <Meghan> (Dinky said he didn't have a question)
[3:37] <SHO> Will weapons other than the pistol (since you've allready said how you get
[3:37] <SHO> the pistol in the first episode :) just be laying around for you to find
[3:37] <SHO> or will you have to complete jobs to aquire them? Same question in regards
[3:37] <SHO> to ammunition, Will it be laying around or be found on dead bodies? And
[3:37] <SHO> also is Aldawg back at Xatrix? I see he just joined ;) Thanks.
[3:37] <SHO> hey :)
[3:37] <Drew> Nope, you'll have to work to get the pistol.
[3:37] <Greg> Chores
[3:37] <SHO> Other than the pistol ?
[3:38] <Greg> You have to steal the shotgun
[3:38] <Drew> You can buy weapons at the Pawn-O-Matic, but you'll need to get some dough first.
[3:38] <SHO> Ok Cool
[3:38] <SHO> Off topic ...
[3:39] <Greg> go ahead
[3:39] <SHO> I read a lot of guys at Xatrix like RPG's right? I highly suggest trying out Final Fantasy Tactics .. OMG that game is the sh*t :)
[3:39] <SHO> Ok thats all thanks.
[3:39] <Drew> l8r
[3:39] <Meghan> Thanks :)

[3:39] <Meghan> Go ahead, Arkain[pkp]
[3:39] <Arkain[pkp]> hey boyz and girlz
[3:39] <Meghan> Hiya
[3:39] <Drew> greetings
[3:39] <Arkain[pkp]> Estimately how many different types of enemies per episode are there, and can you shed some light on any we have not seen in the screenshots?
[3:39] <Greg> Hello
[3:40] <Drew> Well, there are only a couple of different body types, but we can scale them dynamically and give them different skins and behaviors and weapons.
[3:40] <Drew> Everyone you meet in the demo is different.
[3:40] <Greg> Believe it or not
[3:40] <Drew> Wait'll you see the runt...He rocks!
[3:41] <Greg> We (Drew) is running ot of voices.
[3:41] <Drew> You kind of hate to see him get killed, actually.
[3:41] <Meghan> Is he like the Imp in Thrill Kill? Er, not that *I've* ever seen Thrill Kill.
[3:41] <Drew> Sure you haven't.
[3:41] <Arkain[pkp]> can i get in another question
[3:41] <Drew> Nah, just a short fat dude, but with tons of character. A real neck-breaker.
[3:41] <Drew> go ahead, Arkain!
[3:41] <Arkain[pkp]> I had read that the player will get beaten down if he is hostile towards the gangs but can also be treated as an ally, how does the player go about this?
[3:42] *** SHO is now known as SHORYUKEN
[3:42] <Greg> respect
[3:42] <Arkain[pkp]> hehe
[3:42] <Drew> Well, you're allies are guys that you'll need to hire.
[3:42] <Greg> don't approach with your weapon drawn.
[3:43] <Drew> Or be too insulting! Nasty words will get your skull cracked.
[3:43] <Arkain[pkp]> by the way we all want a Redneck Rampage 3d using the unreal engine :)
[3:43] <Drew> Also, be careful about talking to some dude's b*tch for too long!
[3:43] <Greg> Unreal?
[3:44] <Drew> We're thinking about a RR follow-up in 3D, but we'll have to have all the editors at PCXL killed first.
[3:44] <Greg> Turd Minions in 3D?
[3:44] <Arkain[pkp]> hehe
[3:44] <Meghan> Hahaha eeew
[3:44] <Erin> HEhehehe
[3:44] <Meghan> Polygonal feces.
[3:44] <Drew> And faces!
[3:44] <Meghan> :)
[3:45] <Arkain[pkp]> a 3d polygonal Redneck
[3:45] <Arkain[pkp]> could i ask for anything more
[3:45] <Greg> Why Unreal and not Quake 3?
[3:45] <Drew> You never know what might happen. Stay tuned!
[3:45] <Meghan> Is that is Arkain?
[3:45] <Arkain[pkp]> yup
[3:45] <Meghan> er that it?
[3:46] <Meghan> Okay.. :)
[3:46] <Drew> Yes is that is what is Arkain!
[3:46] *** Meghan sets mode: -v Arkain[pkp]
[3:46] <Meghan> rofl.. don't confuse me again :)
[3:46] <Drew> Stop rolling around like that...You're gonna get carpet lice!
[3:46] <Meghan> Okay.. that's it! We're going to wrap it up. I'm going to unmoderate the channel now. If you want to talk, you'll need to leave and come back in (the server is weird).
[3:46] <Meghan> Yeah, this new carpet is fuzzy like that :P
[3:47] <Drew> Thanks to everyone for coming by...Look for the demo this weekend!
[3:47] <Greg> Thanks Everyone!!!

<KungFu[pkp]> haha
[3:48] <Billybob> howdy ho :)
[3:48] <{BoC}PMAN> what about the TNT vs V2? r u going to make a NPC of the guy that faked the demo post so we can kill him without criminal charges? a download perhaps? also can we kill bystandards & take their money?
[3:48] <Yellow> yay
<KungFu[pkp]> run for yer lives fellas!!!
[3:48] <O_DOGG> What up, y'all?
[3:48] <Payback> Drew:_ Kingpin is by far the most violent crime-filled game to date. After the heat Postal and Grand Theft Auto have taken, how do you fellas plan to handle the amount of Barbara Walters and Senator Lieberman bullshit thats shoveled at you?
[3:48] <Drew> Well, we've got a bigger shovel!
[3:48] <SHORYUKEN> I doubt they care what those people think :)
[3:48] <Yellow> yay i can talk
[3:48] <Yellow> just like wilbur the pig
[3:48] <{BoC}_420> Is it 4:20 yet?
[3:48] <Erin> They won't....I'll moderate what comes Drew and Greg's way
[3:48] <Payback> Drew:_ Will the multiplayer game be a deathmatch like Quake2?
[3:48] <Eminem101> Who wants to kick my ass right now??
[3:49] <Gambino> as an Interplay investor I must say I am very Impressed!!!
[3:49] <Budack> Any word on who the actors are that are doing the voices for the Kingpin characters Drew??? Anyone famous??

[3:49] <SHORYUKEN> Any new screenshots coming soon?
<KungFu[pkp]> cya later fellas...and let us know of you have any uploading probs before the demo release :)
[3:49] <Billybob> yeah..who is replacing Dennis Farina
[3:49] <Eminem101> Why couldn't you put in real cops insted of damn rent-a-cops.? Also do the rent-a-cops carry guns? Also what do the prositues carry as weapons? Also is there any nudity in kingpin? How many gang members can fight at once too?
[3:49] <O_DOGG> What characters are the guys from Cypress Hill doing voices for?
[3:49] <Drew> Initially, mp will be deathmatch, but we're looking to do more. So far, the only famous person doing voices for KP is me... <g> we're still working on it.
[3:49] <Yellow> jk i forgive your lying son of a bitch ass!
[3:49] <Meghan> Thanks Gambino.. :)
[3:49] <Drew> Okay guys, gotta go finish this friggin' demo now!
