[MWO] Who did you talk to first, and how did it go? Any hilarious mistakes to admit to?
[RUSS] Well before any media we had a test run with our PR manager and the guys from Ironclad and Acronym. Basically our PR manager Stephanie beat me up and corrected me wherever necessary, so thankfully that was the worst presentation I gave and prepared me for the real ones.
[BRYAN] Russ did all the presentations throughout the show. I had a relatively easy job working with Matt doing the demo. After each presentation, I added some colour commentary, filling out any details/answering some directed questions from the press.
[MATT N] I didn't do much talking in the demos. Russ was the presenter and Bryan and I were demoing the features. As for mistakes, I would have to say, on day 2 I was losing focus and missed a cue from Russ. I was supposed to run around the corner and start attacking Bryan. Once I realized I missed my Cue I gunned the throttle and almost ran into a cliff face when rounding the corner. I thought to myself if we had falling from pilot error in the game I would be flat on my back right now.
Another mistake was, once I let Bryan kill me in the Jenner, I was supposed to re-enter the demo as an Atlas. Well I chose to re-spawn as a Jenner! Realizing my mistake I had to quit out and rejoin then select Atlas. Rejoining put me on the same team as Bryan for the remainder of the demo there was much Friendly fire to finish the demo. Thankfully Bryan was up to the task. ; )
