Sirlin: Hey
Cranky, let's make a website about game design!
Cranky: Eh? What
do I need you for?
Sirlin: Cranky, I
happen to know a lot about game design.
Cranky: You don't
know squat about real games, boy. Back in my day, we had more
gameplay in a 32x32 grid of 4-color pixels than you do today in your
newfangled wastes of time like Metal Gear Solid.
Sirlin: Actually,
Metal Gear Solid is quite good. You should try it someti--
Cranky: And we
didn't need fancy 3D graphics to hide our inadequacies!
Sirlin: Um, aren't
you in 3D, Cranky?
Cranky: …
Sirlin: Look, I
was thinking I'd do most of the work, and you could just be the
celebrity. You know, just hang around and give everything your stamp
of approval.
Cranky: Just hang
around in the spotlight, eh? Now you're talking, boy. I've got star
quality you know!
Sirlin: Yeah,
Cranky. I know.
Cranky: I think
I'll hide one of my DK coins on every page! Those clueless web
surfers will never find 'em!
Sirlin: Er, I
don't really know how we'd do that. I'm not that good with html.
Cranky: And if
they find 100 bananas, they can buy the Krem Key and enter the Lost
World!
Sirlin: Cranky,
this is really more of a site about game design than an actual game,
per se. Just hang out and make the visitors feel welcome.
Cranky: Listen
here, sonny, you've got the right Kong for the job. Everyone loves
Cranky!
[Editor's note: What was I thinking? All Cranky
does is eat all our food and make fun of me and my guests. Mainly
me, actually. Unfortunately, his contract isn't up for quite some
time, so it looks like I'm stuck with him.]
