I'm not trying to be mean, but I don't want you to get your expectations up or get riled because you've been put on the back burner to their usual routine.

I'm sorry about all this, but it's paranoia that causes me to be impatient.
QC: Not to mention that if he hasn't had any direct contact, he doesn't know if it's actually true what you say, nor do any of us, to which all we can do is take your word for it. I gave him Uwe Boll's e-mail address. Someone who messages him from GOG could ask for his phone number to make contact faster.
I can confirm that it is really him, as i have spoken to him on skype once, i saw him on video.

It's a personal thing, but whenever I mail someone something, and they won't reply, I get the feeling that the person is either mad at me or I did / said something wrong. It's a horrible feeling, and not a very rational one. I don't know what the point of that is, but I do have it.
And this is not meant for TET or anyone here, just needed to vent and this thread has a similar topic. Sorry Gameon for derailing this thread a bit...

Hah, Uwe Boll. First film I saw of his was Postal and I loved it so I checked out the rest of his stuff.... realised pretty quickly that Postal was a bit of a one off gem to me.
Not sure what questions I would ask him though, most of mine would be a tad too blunt, such as "Do you do video game films because you lack artistic ability and see them as an easy cash cow?" or "Do you just enjoy trolling the shit out of gamers?".
Meh, end of the day the guy makes a living out of it and people watch his films. Fair play I guess.

I would ask him: If you could make a video game, what would it be about?

Actually a fairly decent question, nice reversal there! I guess another interesting one would be "Do you have any particular games in mind that you'd like to tackle?"
Going by how he handled Postal, Uwe could probably do a sweet job with Saints Row.

I'd really want to know if he thinks he gained something by boxing his critics. It was a pretty juvenile move from a former amateur boxer.
Didn't he turn Tunnel Rats into a shitty game?

Honestly, I don't think that an interview with Boll staying in his "i make awesome movies" persona would be interesting.
Behind this, asking him about the frontier between what he would or wouldn't exploit in his strategy (books, movies-to-remake, or which ones). Are there source materials that he'd respect too much to make pseudo-movies on them, and, if so, where does he draw the line.

What is more to explain about Uwe Boll? His movies are terrible and he is a joke. Period.
