An Interview with John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants - Page 4

Any interesting upcoming projects?

We've recently been asked to do, this is actually a classic project for us, to do a theme for an online site that is for fans of a video game called, I think, Weapons of Warcraft.

World of Warcraft.

Oh, World of Warcraft. Which evidently one-third of males between the ages of 12 and 18 are currently playing right now; I have no idea what it is. So they want us to do a theme for this thing, and it's just a friendly gesture; the guy's into the band and thought we'd be interested in doing it and I am kind of interested in doing it but I also have no idea what it is. I assume it's kind of a shooter game thing; when I think about doing kids' stuff, then I think about doing the theme to World of Warcraft.

[I then give John a brief explanation about World of Warcraft.]

Yeah, I stepped off the video game thing around Mrs. Pacman. I assume there's a lot of killing, right?

Yeah.

Well, that's the important thing.

    I love the Giants, but this is a very poorly written article. You "superior writers" should proof-read a little better.

    Don't listen to the critic! I found this article to be very well-written and gratifying. Thank you!

    "I assume there's a lot of killing, right?

    Yeah.

    Well, that's the important thing."

    Hahahaha... That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard Flansburgh say.
