Hey there,

A quick heads-up to point you in the direction of a fun and funny Marvel Puzzle Quest Interview over at The Onion's A.V. Club. Demiurge's Casey Malone answers a few chuckle-worthy questions about everyone's favorite match-3 game.

You can find it here (you'll need to scroll down the page a bit): http://www.avclub.com/article/new-york- ... ty--210710

Quote:
"AVC: If your game had a super-deluxe version that cost $1,000, what would be in the box?

CM: Devil Dinosaur. Like a mini actual living Devil Dinosaur. If I had to release a fantasy collector’s edition, it would come with like a My Pet Devil Dino who hung out with you."

    The A.V. Club: If an alien species discovered your game as the only remnant of human civilization, what would they learn about us?

    Casey Malone: Well, first they would learn that Earth was populated by colorful, fearsome warriors who loved to match three things together in order to fight their battles. They would also learn about whales if they unlocked Deadpool. Learn about the fearsome whales that ruled the land.

    lol xD

    Whoa, The Onion! You guys hit the big time. Next you'll be name-dropped in a Weird Al song at this rate. Congratulations! (zero sarcasm, I love Weird Al and the Onion).

    I laughed.... then I realized that the tokens, covers, and ISO to max a single 4* cost roughly $1,000. icon_e_confused.gif
  • AVC: If my resume included a whole summer spent just playing your game, how should I spin it as valuable experience?

    CM: First of all, you would have experience managing or supervising a complex, diverse roster of employees, all of whom you needed to make sure got enough attention and got their time in the sun. I think you could really focus on your spatial relations skills, in terms of moving things around to match them with two other things.

    Ha! Hmmm... saving that for when I get my first disciplinary warning for playing MPQ at work.

    Nice interview. The Onion is a great site.
