VGAs Interviews: Mortal Kombat, Blizzard on project Titan photo

As you might have read in Chad Concelmo's previous post, several highly trained Dtoid operatives were down in LA this weekend for the Spike TV Video Game Awards. While there, I had the pleasure of wearing one of Hamza's neckties.

Also: I got to interview Ed Boon, the creator of Mortal Kombat, which was a huge honor for me because I've been drawing terrible Scorpion fanart since I was seven.

After that, I chatted with Frank Pearce, who is a Senior VP at Blizzard and executive producer for World of Warcraft. I bluntly asked him about a few of the projects alluded to in that leaked Blizzard five-year plan.

Check out the videos after the jump.

If there are two things I could do differently in this interview, first, I would have started by saying "Excuse me, Mr. Boon? GETOVERHERRRRREE." Second, I would have concluded by uppercutting Ed Boon through the ceiling. At that point, Hamza would have jumped in front of the camera and shouted "TOASTY!"

Oh, and, here's that valentine I mentioned:

VALENTINALITY!

...How much you wanna bet Titan is basically gonna be World of Starcraft?

Haha, great interviews. Thought Max could have spent more time asking Ed Boon some questions but the gushing seem to get the better of Max. Good intel on that Blizzard interview. Yeah, I'm totally guessing it's a world of starcraft MMOFPS game.

Hasn't it been confirmed that Titan is a new IP? That would rule out word of starcraft.

I meant "World of Starcraft" in terms of content, not the actual franchise. Sort of like when I refer to the movie Crank as "The movie 'Speed' but with a dude instead of a bus."

Wait'll you guys see my interview with Felicia Day. It's completely retarded.

if you look at the eyebrows you can see Ed Boon is a young Eugene Levvy

It has been stated many a time that the project now known as Titan, "Will NOT be connected to any of the pre-exisiting Blizzard Universes." IE Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft

Berber carpet is one of the toughest carpets to clean. Its looped weave protects it from dirt, but also makes the dirt very hard to remove once it sets into the fibers. The cleaning task is even more difficult when the Berber carpet is white because the stains are quite noticeable on its light surface.
