Q: Who's on board? What songs will we hear during the show?

A: (We're putting Warcraft in the show. I show people the video with the music and they freak. They're like, "This is going to be the most incredible show ever!" The artwork is gorgeous, it's beautiful, and you can't stop looking at it. And the music is just amazing. The music to me in this industry is some of the best music I've ever heard in my life. That includes film music and everything. I'm a huge fan of film music, but the interactive entertainment lends itself to be very cinematic and very musical.

(Whereas film, a lot of the time they stay out of the way of the dialogue. You can't go over the top, but with games you can go over the top constantly until it comes to the cinematics, and then it's more like film music. The games we've chosen: Medal of Honor, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid, Warcraft, EverQuest, MYST, Sonic, Mario, Zelda, Halo really strong musical themes. There's not a weak one in the bunch.
