Re: I'm Sorry Mister Ashukurafuto, Really, Truly Sorry

So I spent the morning down at the local PBS affiliate taping an interview with X-Play for their big GTA IV blow-out tonight. Last week Bloomberg and ABC World News both interviewed me and tomorrow I'm doing three live radio interviews and one live online interview, all about Grand Theft Auto IV. It's nice to see the press covering video games, I just wish it wasn't only once or twice a year.

Oh, get this, my first interview is on a public radio show based in New York called The Takeaway, it's at 4:30 a.m. my time. I may or may not be awake while doing it.

Scratch that comment, I'm an illiterate.

Hey, get ready for the inevitable Metal Gear hooha when they show pictures of Snake grabbing crotches, talk about the implied child rape, and the "desensitization towards our troops in the Middle East."

I don't know how that last one will come around, but I expect Fox to do it.

Where you need to spread your wisdom is on KOA in the morning. You are already on those other news shows, at least those two will give you a forum!

Brian, you may be planning to do this already, but could you perhaps post when your TV appearances are going to be? I'm not a consistent news viewer and I typically have NBC on when I do, so I don't want to miss the ABC news spot. :)

Thank you!

@GREY GECKO: Assuming that Crecente lives in California, it would be 7:30 a.m. in New York at the time of the interview.

He lives in Colorado, so it would be 6:30 am NY time. Still mighty early!

Great job with the interview on G4. What distracted you from looking at the camera? Another monitor beside the camera or something? :-p.

Crecente, will the recordings be posted online? I'd love to listen to them.

Tell us when you show up on the news, I really like laughing at news agencies trying to look like they are a legitimate source of fair news coverage while it all shows they take a position before even starting.
