Quake II Magazine Archive: Off-Topic — Earthworm Jim

"Anyone who reads DieHard GameFan is already aware of David Perry and our admiration for him. It's not that he's the only brilliant programmer out there — with your best interest in mind, there are few... How he has managed to surround himself with people that are all equally suited is a mystery, but he has. Shiny Entertainment is about to blow the roof off of the Action / Platform category. We are proud to be one of the first to show you Shiny's new character, Earth Worm Jim. You're about to get a taste of what Dave can do when Dave is in charge. During a recent visit to Shiny, I was in complete awe of what he has accomplished. I have never seen a team of guys so dedicated to a project, while having so much fun doing it. This is what our industry needs more of. This is how legendary characters are made."

"I already mentioned some of my comments on the main page. Here are my final comments. In my opinion, this was not only the best Quakecon ever, but the best LAN party ever. As smoothly as everything ran, you'd think everybody running it were robots that planned for years in advance. Some people this took away from the soul of past Quakecons but I'll take this over soul anyday. I think the soul of Quakecon is getting together with friends you may see all the time and ones that you don't get to see often or just met for the first time and having fun."
