FROM THE ARTICLE
Now is the moment to do or die. Again.[…]
Oh, well, black-magic time. Pointing your staff at the three zombies, you draw a circle, then a pentagon, and the gates of Hell fly open, and…next thing you know, the menacing undead explode into a few dozen flying, bloody chunks.
“More gibs for your money,” laughs a voice from across the centuries. “That’s gibs, as in giblets.”
And with that, you’re back in the late-20th-century offices of computer game developer ION Storm, located high atop a downtown Dallas skyscraper. It is December 17, 1998 — less than three months before the scheduled release date for Daikatana, the computer game that Mr. Giblets, ION Storm producer Kelly Hoerner, has just been demonstrating. It’s the game that a tribe of computer gamers is dying to get their trigger fingers on.
It’s also the game that could make or break ION Storm.
