What happened to "7 minutes inside Paul Barnett" or something under the title of the news?

He's more interesting in showing the world how "funny" he is rather than talk about the game. I was interested in the latter unfortunately.

I never get tired of hearing that nutter rant on. He's half the reason I got interested in WAR to begin with.

Regardless of how Warhammer turns out, I'd sure as hell buy Paul Barnett's book on the making of...

Does a brilliant philosopher make a good creative director? We'll sure find out, and by damn I'm pulling for him.

I think he may have worked in the Games Workshop retail stores at some point, he has that sorta hyperactivity feel to him. lol

I wouldnt say the video was a waste of space, I mean you could see the game playing in the background :)

Wow that guy is crazy, but I do like what hes saying (he must be hard work to work with though...haha).

It looks interesting, I wasnt fussed, but I would now like to see more videos of the game... see the video did work :)

This guy definatly taps into the nutball enthusiasm of the early GW days, very amusing and you hope war will benifit from this kind of homage to the 80/90s spirit of the parent company.

Paul Barnett is great, hopefully WAR will be great if not then hopefully Paul will come back the UK and start writing stuff for Games Workshop again
