Ok, ok I know Paul Barnett, Creative Director for Mythic Entertainment and big wig for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning isn’t a video game character either (see Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw) but if I’m going to just keep finding quotable quotes about video games from people as well as game characters I might as well as include them as well - it just a good idea. Anyway, this quote was given on the MMO Report with Casey Schreiner explaining to the idea of the ‘Tomb Kings’ in Warhammer Online’s latest “Arms” expansion: Land of the Dead (a land with a clearly Egyptian feel about it).
“Well what you got to remember is that almost everything that the games workshop guys do is English xenophobia, redressed with a bit of comedy. When it comes to Egypt, we gone to museums; over here in American I notice your museums are all about the things your good at; nuclear weapons, flight, space, cinema. Over in Britain, museums are about gloating – it’s about showing all the stuff we stole off people at gun point.”
