Matt Chat 131: Mark Soderwall on Terminator 3, Enter the Matrix, and Demon Stone

Mark is back this week with some exclusive, behind-the-scenes stories about what it was like modeling Arnold Schwarzenegger, working with the Wachowski brothers, R.A. Salvatore, and much, much more. This is the episode you do NOT want to miss if you have any interest in 3D graphics and modern games. It's not just the polygons--it's the personalities you have to worry about.

Whats the ending music for this vid?

[blacklily8]

@0Griffinhawk0 That's the "Mr. Chomp Stomp." I wrote it for my game Thrust Lifter, and you can download the soundtrack at Armchair Arcade. :)

I've also always wondered about your drinking horn. I looked into getting one from eBay but from what I've read some can impart a horrible, horrible smell on liquids put inside and are meant to be for decoration rather than drinking ...

[blacklily8]

@codykonior That's definitely not the case with my horn. Just practice common sense cleaning and you shouldn't have any issue. Of course, since it is a truly organic container, you want to make sure you get one from a reputable source. Otherwise, who knows?

Cool to hear about your love of belgian beers, but i can tell you: this is a dark, gray, dreary country. The beer, chocolate and fries were only invented to stave of chronic depression :)

i'd love to send you some brews from around here (i have 4 breweries close to my home), but won't you get shafted on import taxes?

[blacklily8]

@warci I don't know anything about import taxes. I assume if it's a gift it wouldn't be a big deal, but you'd better check.

[JackOFBlades111]

I'll spread around your name on the forums I go on, you deserve it.

Matt, how do you wash a beer horn??? Do you put it in the dishwasher, do you need a special soap sponge, or what?

Great series of episodes. Mr. Soderwall is an incredible guest, and is very inspiring.

It's too bad he didn't talk more about Demon Stone. Love that game for the PS2!

[PubliusAfricanus]

I get not being able to see the script, but it's not story that makes these games suck. For example, Enter The Matrix, that vile, vile little SOB.

@blacklily8 Thanks!

[TheSquarecow]

@blacklily8 Whoa, hard to believe how narrow-minded people can be... anyway, thanks for all your videos!
