The Armchair Empire's "Omni" unveils Part V of the series of interviews with Computer Gaming Monthly magazine's "colorful" Editor-In-Chief, Jeff Green - in which he discusses such diverse topics as BioWare, E-3, gaming legends, "Industry Professionals", and so much more...

I’ll get the questions about E3 2004 out of the way. What was the best freebie you got at this year’s show?

Isn’t it great when I wait 4 months to answer your questions? Then, like, everything is totally irrelevant! Yay! Actually, you know, no one really gives away freebies anymore, except for the occasional t-shirt, hat, or backpack. I long for the days of yore, when they used to give each and every one of us a free naked girl.

Obviously, someone in your position – someone in the loop in terms of games – wouldn’t be surprised by many games shown at E3, but were there any games that did surprise you?

Well, being in the PC gaming ghetto, I don’t often get to see the console titles ahead of time. One game that I loved there was Jade Empire, but it wasn’t really a surprise since Bioware is making it and I’ve loved every game they’ve ever done. So I guess I didn’t answer your question, did I? I suck. Okay, here’s a couple I knew about but was surprised by how good they looked: Activision’s new Vampire the Masquerade game and THQ’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

According to a press release from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) stated there were 65,000+ “industry professionals” in attendance at E3. What is the ESA’s definition of an industry professional? Who is included in this group?

Good lord, you got me. “Industry professionals?” I didn’t know there were such things in this business. Whoever they are, I don’t want to know them. I want to keep hanging out with the dorito-eating, dope-smoking, lazy-ass slackers that make up the real creative forces of this industry.
