Total Annihilation has been acclaimed as a masterpiece and the defining example for the classical period of the RTS genre. Supreme Commander is shaping up for similar praise, as it carries Chris’s trademark technological and gameplay innovations. With it’s up-and-coming release, we were honored to get a live interview with Chris during his busy pre-launch schedule to talk about Supreme Commander, epic ping-pong-table-sized games of Risk, and other bedlam. My favorite quote being:
[32:10] EGR: I’m really looking forward to it. One final question to wrap up. Say a wizard has turned you into a robot. Is this awesome. Yes or no?
CT: A wizard has turned me into a robot?
EGR: Yeah.
CT: You know, the mood I’ve been in these days, I think it would be awesome. [laughter]
EGR: Ok. Good to hear. I think robots are always awesome.
CT: Well then I would crush and destroy everything, with my new robot body, and I think that’d be pretty fun.
EGR: Well I look forward to that.
