An interview with the guys at project offset wouldn't be boring either, or how about Jess from ign? shes a pretty interesting girl!

On the other hand i would just kill for that Jack Thompson.... why not take it all the way and make it a fist fight to the death, we all know how its gonna end anyways:D

Ok, here's my list (in no particular order):
Mulholland drive
The Matrix
The Chef, the thief, his wife and her lover ... Peter Greenaway, this movies is so freaking awesome people..
Barry Lyndon
Clockwork Orange
Fight club
Smoke
Aliens (the second one in the quadrilogi)
Dogville .. (Lars von Trier a danish director, but Nicole Kidman has the lead role so i guess you guys might know it... by the way this is her best movie.)
Vanilla Sky, im not happy to mention this one since I've got a personal vendetta against Tom Cruise..
Speaking of vendetta: V for Vendetta was fantastic
and of course Citizen Kane

I could keep on mentioning movies but i think this list covers a lot of the aspects in my taste in movies... feel free to comment

dont know if this is off topic but they also use maggots medically to remove dead tissue... im serious! and theyre really effective, the smart thing is that maggots ONLY eat meat that is dead, this leads to using them in grave injuries because they make the infection go away... neat and nasty!

OK, I'm seriously cranked up about your dad.... I love him!!! please let me talk to him some day... no seriously, I'm feeling for you but please notify if you actually look like a 13 year old in a couple of days, that would really make my day!
BTW: i would peel my children if i could (pretending i have any), does that make me a bad person?
-goes off to laugh in a corner...

You said the design is semi-complete, right?

Sending off a semi-complete design to a bunch of companies mightn't be such a great idea, even if you were to make sure your IP is protected. If it's only semi-complete, and it actually manages to get past the secretary, then the gurus could probably just use the bits of it they like most, go in a slightly different direction and steal the idea right from under your nose.

I would suggest fleshing it out a bit more, making sure to get it all down on paper.

Then develop some sort of presentation, possibly a prototype, and make sure you can explain why you think it's a new concept, and why you think it would make money.

Then get your legal issues in order.

Finally, whore yourself to as many companies as you can.

Others might have more to add to this.

Yes, the fleshing out part sounds smart, I've got about 5-6 handwritten pages containing the project, and from that i should be able to make a fair presentation. The only problem is that I've got absolutely no gamedevelopment experience, so i wouldn't know how a presentation like that would look like. Has anyone got a link to something similar, like a video presentation or even better: an actual letter to a developer.

Hi there guys!
I know that I'm not the most frequent poster but now ill give it a shot! Some friends and I have a habit, this consists of sitting and making theoretical discussions while enjoying a glass of beer, and yesterday the talk landed on the subject videogames... We made a semi-complete game design, with gameplay elements and all other aspects, and its all on paper! so I thought that it would be a waste NOT to send it somewhere but who should I send it to? Ive got absolutely no clue, and since i really enjoy this podcast I suspect that you guys are just the ones to ask!

greetings from Denmark
