[drupal=710]ET: QUAKE Wars and the Lost Al-Fax Mission Briefings[/drupal]

On this, Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars’ third birthday, it seems apposite to mention that recent researches and excavations have revealed some stuff that didn’t make the final game. You see, following on from Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory’s silly mission audio briefings (“Yanks, Banks, Tanks, Krauts, GOOOOLD” etc), we dallied with the notion of doing something similar for Quake Wars. Back for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, we did a pretty direct pastiche of the 1940’s March Of Time newsreels, so for the near-future QUAKE Wars, the most obvious equivalent seemed to be some sort of cable news channel.
How on earth could you report an alien invasion? Doing it as a straight Cloverfieldish news-horror seemed inappropriate. The tone needed to be simultaneously vastly confident, obviously ignorant, professionally craven and inappropriately upbeat.

Oh dear, this is genius writing combined with an awesome reading - even more impressive given that he got all those tongue-twisters right on the first reading!

Now I do keep thinking of Doom 3’s UAC information videos every time I hear his voice…
