    Who is this Paul Barnett?

    What is this Warhammer?

    Looks like WoW.

    Wren, don't make it one of those threads.

    Oh... I already did. Nevermind.

    In all seriousness that video is in fact awesome. I don't think I've ever seen such an absolutely awesome advocate for a video game.

    This video is terrible.

    This guy should make one of these for Planetside.

    Are you saying that he's not fun to watch, or that his enthusiasm doesn't translate into hard, fast information on the game itself?

    If the man were that enthusiastic about fucking pies maybe it would be interesting to watch.

    I just hate things with no substance.

    Like my posts :cry:

    No, that's fair.

    Your posts do have no substance.

    :D

    In truth, I agree; Barnett's videos, especially there early ones, are just fluff. I'd doubt the intelligence of anyone who thinks the game will be good based purely on his insane ramblings.

    It is kinda creepy how good Paul can make the game seem without any sort of actual information on it simply through his eloquence. I suppose that's how he managed to make bajillions of moneys as a consultant - his enthusiasm is infectious even through the intertubes. It makes me worry that this game won't be that good.

    Then I read the non-Paul things on the WAR main site, and watch the Q&As linked from The Six Mouths, and my faith is restored.

    Agreed. It's the actual content that gets me excited, but Paul is a great way to lure people in to start.
