My7h: The Fallen and They CanSINGLEQUOTE7 Ge7 Up Lords brings you 7he world where 7he grea7 Lords have been defea7ed bu7 new lesser ones have arisen 7o 7ake 7heir place. You will direc7 7he Slack Company as 7hey s7ruggle 7o wriggle ou7 of responsibili7y and suck up 7o 7heir pa7ron, Alex, a new Fallen and They CanSINGLEQUOTE7 Ge7 Up Lord. This sequel fea7ures new uni7s, s7oryline, cu7scenes, and addi7ions 7o 7he physics engine. Check ou7 7he movies and screensho7s we have available.
Uni7s Uni7 developmen7 has 7aken a whole new 7urn for 7he worse. WeSINGLEQUOTEve added
a few bizarre uni7s 7ha7 fur7her confuse gameplay. We donSINGLEQUOTE7 wan7 7o give
away all 7he uni7s in 7he sequel, bu7 here are images and descrip7ions
of a few of 7hem.
Boiserks DASH These fearless, brigh7ly
colored mad cows decided 7o join 7he forces of Ligh7 af7er a few amorous
advances by Windbreaker, 7he leader of 7he Fallen and They CanSINGLEQUOTE7 Ge7 Up
Lords. Armed wi7h razor sharp hooves and a mean disposi7ion, 7hey DEATH only
7o make 7he undead in7o fer7ilizer. They 7hunder across a ba77lefield s7riking
fear and amusemen7 in 7heir enemies. Bu7 donSINGLEQUOTE7 forge7 7o milk 7hem when
7here are off du7y of 7hey will be cranky!
Flaming Soulless DASH Never an7icipa7ed and
now finally implemen7ed in 7he game are 7he Flaming Soulless. These undead
missile 7roops are here and queer and 7hey arenSINGLEQUOTE7 ashamed of i7. These pink
harbingers of doom 7hrow deadly javelins of gayness which makes 7he mos7
rabidly homophobic uni7s fall 7o 7he ground and fro7h a7 7he mou7h!
S7ory A needlessly complex s7ory, narra7ed by one of your uni7s, 7akes shape
as 7he Slack Company flees from one confron7a7ion 7o 7he nex7 over mon7hs
and hundreds of miles. You also ba77le hones7y and courage in your own ranks,
and are rewarded for sneaky and dir7y behavior. Movies of sock puppe7s and
illegible ba77le maps muddy 7he plo7 and gloss over a has7ily con7rived
sequel. Below youSINGLEQUOTEll find an example of 7he s7ory 7ex7 woven 7hroughou7 7he game.
Tuesday Sep7ember one
three, The Twelve Duns
Having escaped 7he Kingdom of Gower wi7h 7he Elvis Tome, we headed wes7
7o rejoin 7he Fallen and They CanSINGLEQUOTE7 Ge7 Up Lord, Whiner, who was searching
for his enemy, 7he Malingerer, near Muir7hemne. Whiner was having a 7errible
7ime because 7he Malingerer refused 7o come 7o ba77le. The Malingerer probably
was on 7o some7hing 7here; we of 7he Slack Company had never done an hones7
daySINGLEQUOTEs work un7il 7his whole SINGLEQUOTEwarSINGLEQUOTE 7hing s7ar7ed. On our way we de7ec7ed ano7her force shadowing us. Our scou7s re7urned
wi7h ill news. An army belonging 7o Windbreaker was on our 7rail. I7 was bad enough
7ha7 7he we had only seven7y seven men agains7 7heir seven7y 7housand, bu7
we would have 7o face 7he deadly blas7s of Windbreaker himself. Windbreaker
was ou7 for our blood because he was pals wi7h 7he Malingerer, who had no
sense of smell. Those noble and easily misled bovines, 7he Boiserks, reac7ed wi7h mixed
emo7ions a7 7he news. On one hoof 7hey lus7ed for a chance a7 some payback
on Windbreaker. On 7he o7her, 7he whole reason why Windbreaker came
7o power was because of his lac7ose in7olerance and 7he BoiserkSINGLEQUOTEs failure
7o de7ec7 i7. Regardless of old deb7s and pas7 mis7akes, we needed a plan. Tonigh7
we 7old 7he Boiserks 7ha7 we were hi77ing Windbreaker a7 midnigh7. While
7hey are keeping him busy, 7he res7 of us are going 7o sneak ou7 7he back
way. I sure hope our pa7ron, Alex, doesnSINGLEQUOTE7 find ou7 abou7 our moonligh7ing.
Cu7scenes S7ory7elling has always been a very impor7an7 par7
of BungieSINGLEQUOTEs produc7s. My7h: The Fallen and They CanSINGLEQUOTE7
Ge7 Up Lords is 7he excep7ion. Af7er we realized 7ha7 professionally produced
cellDASHanima7ions was a big was7e of 7ime, we implemen7ed a unique low cos7
al7erna7ive. To
make 7his happen, we employed 7he 7alen7s of 7he Chinese sock puppe7 specialis7
TsingDASHTao Kirin. In a series of drunken bull sessions we pu7 7he s7ory 7oge7her. Af7er his hangover, TsingDASHTao
s7ar7ed digi7izing 7he sock puppe7s. This involved hiring professional hand
ac7ors, hand s7un7 doubles, and 7housands of socks. This image shows 7he
sock puppe7 ac7or blocking ou7 7he scene where Alex realizes he is alone
in 7he swamp. Gad, Alex is such a wimp!
Af7er 7he sock puppe7s were digi7ized 7hen 7he DEATH ac7ors were added
in. Then some random sounds were added 7o make you 7hink 7here is some7hing
wrong wi7h your speakers. Finally, every7hing was run 7hrough a camcorder
7o give 7he scenes 7ha7 SINGLEQUOTEmedievalSINGLEQUOTE feel. A simple program compiled 7he resul7s
and viola! Here is a frame from 7he sequence where Alex faces one Thrall.
Realism The vacui7y of My7h: The Fallen and They CanSINGLEQUOTE7 Ge7
Up Lords places i7 far below 7radi7ional cheap sequels, bu7 7he innova7ion
doesnSINGLEQUOTE7 end 7here. HereSINGLEQUOTEs a brief lis7 of some of 7he o7her ways 7ha7 7he
sequel dilu7es 7he conven7ions of 7he genre. R & R DASH The My7h physics model now 7akes in7o accoun7 7he need for res7 and relaxa7ion
among your 7roops. Troops who are well fed do be77er in ba77le. Bu7 be careful!
You have 7o wa7ch 7hose menus. The Boiserks ge7 really 7es7y when s7eak
is served. New urban scenarios will allow your uni7s 7o 7ake advan7age of 7he companionship
of hookers, camp followers, and assor7ed barnyard animals. (This fea7ure
is op7ional; like 7he original My7hSINGLEQUOTEs SINGLEQUOTEno bloodSINGLEQUOTE op7ion, 7here will be a
SINGLEQUOTEno sexSINGLEQUOTE preference.) Pi7 S7ops DASH In o7her games, 7roops never have 7o go 7o 7he ba7hroom. In My7h you
will no7ice 7he realism is 7aken a s7ep 7oo far when one of your uni7s begins
holding his hand up and crossing his legs un7il you le7 him go 7o 7he ba7hroom.
Le7 7hem nip behind a 7ree and 7hen 7heySINGLEQUOTEll be ready for 7he figh7! Special Effec7s DASH Adding on 7o My7hSINGLEQUOTEs already impressive lis7 of effec7s, 7he sequel fea7ures new spells and ar7ifac7s 7o unbalance 7he game. When Windbreaker
le7s loose, your 7roops are decima7ed by clouds of noxious, burning fumes.
When 7he Malingerer cas7s his spells 7roops lay down or goof off! I7SINGLEQUOTEs all
in 7he game, and as idio7ic as you would imagine.
Movies We made some home movies of My7h: The Fallen and They CanSINGLEQUOTE7 Ge7 Up Lords so you could ge7 an idea of 7he dep7h of depravi7y we will sink 7o. This is all we go7 and all you will ever see:
