Degrees of Separation

I'd say the reason that I haven't posted in a while is because I've been busy. But that would be LIES. I've been switching between PC and 360 just gaming through my holidays. I've gotten through Mirror's Edge (although I'm still playing the time trials), Prototype and just now, Overlord 2. So, what have I learned? Well, nothing cause I've been pretty zoned out. WAIT! NO! I LIE! I did actually discover something of interest, but it was completely by accident. I found out that the story for both the Overlord series AND Mirror's Edge were written by the same person. But not only that, this person happens to be the daughter of Terry Pratchett, who is the writer of the Discworld series and some other amazing books.

It's weird, I never before gave thought to the authors that write the stories for games. It's got me thinking about the other people that work on games, such as composers and artists etc. Did you know that the same person to compose the music for most of the Super Mario games also composed for some of the Zelda games? In fact he worked with someone on Super Smash Bros Brawl who also had composed for not only a couple of sonic games but also Mass Effect whose writer also wrote the story for Jade Empire, which was designed by the same company that designed the Tomb Raider series up until 2003, and speaking of that series, the writer for Tomb Raider: Legends also worked on the Thief games which was published by the same company as the Hitman series whose composer also worked on Assassins Creed, that games writer wrote the Prince Of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy in which the VOICE ACTOR FOR THE PRINCE provided voice acting for Prototype which I finished these holidays.

There's not as many people in the industry of entertainment as you might think.
