Game Quest Quotes

“Henry paused, looked up. "You want me for a portrait?" He was wary. What kind of portrait were they doing?
"Don't worry. It's not what you think. It's for Captain Sandar in the new Sci-Fi Quest. Carl over in programming said that he kept picturing your face as Captain Sandar and everyone pretty much agrees you look just like what we all think he should look like. Don't worry, only the people in the office would know it's your face...and it would be slightly cartoonized for the game. He has a big scar on the left side of his face. No one will really know it's you." Bill knew this was going to be a tough sell.
"I don't know. What does this Captain Sandar do?"
"He chews Johnny 10-4 out at the beginning of the game. It's minor. We'll make his eyes blue too. Come on. No one will recognize you..."
Henry scrinched up his face.”

“The buy-out had been rather amicable, however, with most of Synapse's employees honored to become members of the great pioneer of computer games. And Madre had no interest in destroying the company. What Madre Games Entertainment really cared about was making good games. Incorporating Synapse was an excellent way to not only bolster Synapse's success, but to make that success part of Madre's own...and, most importantly, help them keep their jobs. Synapse management was very pleased with the deal. They basically retained their own management structure and autonomy, and had creative and financial control of their organization, even got to put their own name on their products. Only, now they were part of the Madre network with more resources at their disposal. Sure, they had to justify everything to Will at the end of the day...but as long as they made good games and didn't lose loads of money, they basically remained their own organization.”
