To all you design-a-sworders! But still everyone else!

Friday, September 12th, 2008 by Niklas Å, Art Director

So hey internet friends! (exclamationmarkbonanza!!)

Its me, the artsyfartsy director of Colosseum, allthough im not sure what that title means besides being a controversial dick and trying to convince my mates at shortfuse that flowers dont necesarily have to be gay. Oh yeah it also means that i spell pretty badly so if you gots any problems with that kinda shit just call me up and we will take it outside, capice?

That being said, I firstly and foremostly wanna point out that this is my first writing in a blogg and its nice to make your aquintance (is that the way you spell it? remember what i wrote a little earlier? if you dont remember I probably dont wanna make yer aquintance anyways so then that problems solved).

So anyways! The reason I got around to writing is cuz I wanted to inform you guys and gals that this design-a-sword contest thingie is taking longer than we thought. And that is mainly because I gots a few problems with pulling my thumb out my ass and getting around to picking a winner. And for that I apologise. Sincerely even. To me its a bitch when people dont get their shit together in time for a previously decided timeframe but hey, making games is ALWAYS a scenario where you constantly discover new things that you gotta fix before you can move on (in this case moving on to picking a goddamn sword to put in the goddamn game) First thing monday (2009-09-15 that is…..naw im only pulling! im such a crack! 2008-09-15 ofcourse! aw gawd…too much coffe…) I promise we will pick a winner. You have my word. I would even post my adress right here in the blogg so you could send me hatemails or mailbombs if we dont announce a winner in time just to prove how much my word is worth. Then again I wont, since the internet is full of assholes who would take that information and use it for other purposes than sending hatemails just because we wouldnt announce shit in time (such as, oh i dont know, steal everything I own or just pay me a ima-break-yer-kneecaps-just-for-fun-and-then-go-renegade-on-your-tailpipe-visit, and Im not sure Im ready for that).

But Im going to give ya´ll this: You people got some crazy ideas for swords. I dont know if that is because you dont take things seriously or you just got dropped on the head too many times as infants. Nevertheless! I am liking what I am seeing. And it fills my heart with joy to know that so many actually did enter the contest. If I was in charge (well, I am regarding some topics but I dont make all the administrative calls. If i was, Colosseum would be scheduled for realease like….2015 or somethin stupid like that) we would pick at least 50 % of all the entries as winners, and Im not just saying that to be nice (Im not a nice person). So we are definetily gonna expand this kinda shit and do it more often in the future! I cant promise you any leading roles or anything, its probably gonna be on a scale of the current magnitude, but who knows. I dont make these kinds of calls remember?

Lastly, Colosseum is shaping up to a finished state and I cant tell you enough how excited I am to release the thing and earn the sweat of our brow (reference qoute! if you know from what game then send me the right answer and enclose yer adress so I can send you a cookie! no knee-cap-busting-calls! promise!). Its gonna be too cool for school to see something you put your whole creative capacity into getting to be a part of the videogameworld and peoples consoles! If we reach more than a hundred thousand downloads I am going to show my dick on youtube.

Yeah and thanks to the guys Im working with. They are all radical dudes. Totaly. And they know how to make the shizznit.

Talk to you all later!
