waco.the.video.game

So much awsome. Reblog noted that Rhizome gave out a bunch of (fucking tiny) grants today. Reading over the press release I realized that some of my old LA heads, C-Level were awarded a grant for what sounds like an _amazing_ multi playere game: Endgames: Waco Resurrection

in their words: Players assume their role as David Koresh, Ted Kaczynski, or John Africa within an expansive multiplayer online environment. Between 6 and 18 players inhabit the online world to play out the game scenario - a timed game with a predetermined series of encounters based on the actual events.
Expanding our game model from the present LAN multiplayer competition to an online connection increases the number of potential players by allowing anyone with a fast internet connection to participate.

I can't wait. I love cults, and i think i will like cult video games even more

for more info on the game check out c-level's proposal HERE

Shit, at least they are bigger then what eyebeam gives their artists in residence... But damn, Warren Sack is my friends old *professor*, you'd think he'd be getting bigger grants then 2.5k and leaving that to the rising wippersnappers or something. Posted by: Abe at May 18, 2004 03:37 PM
it's even worse. Check out the actual proposal, the award hardly covers the expenses of the project. Posted by: thickeye at May 18, 2004 04:39 PM
