Complete translation.
I'm german (well, austria, its south of germany but our books are printed in the same language
)
but my english may ... well... be a bit individual.
The Sims versus The Void.
American dream in the virtual " Diesseits"
(The now, the here, the real)
vs russian nightmare in the virtual "Jenseits"
(Nirvana, there, also used for the place where dead ppl go, and for "another place but this")
The weapons of the americans: Success, wealth, and the ideal body weight per mouseclick
The weapons of the russians: colour as kalashnikow of the soul
/ the souls kalashnikow
In the sunset valley, nobody thinks about crisis.
(more true maybe: Crisis is not to be felt in Sunset valley)
Here the player can catch quite big fish.
The good thing in The Void: Here the crisis has already gone wild, the heros nearly dead, he has nothing to loose anymore - only to win: Colour - to give life again to the desolate emptiness.
("Emptiness" is the word-by-word - translation i use for "Die Leere" which is what the Void is sometimes called ingame in the german version)
Instead of shooting, you paint.
then some stupid talking about Bob Ross that has nothing to do with the rest
then she says: Hmm, but now back into the digital world of the modern colour. *click*
nameless mistress:
Always remember: here in the emptiness (...) nothing is worth more than colour. Colour is life.
Stupid fuck:
The russians experiment more, öhm, they also havent, öh, these long...
leadtimes? handling times? this is at least what the dictionary says. I use leadtime for now.
They also havent big budgets, which they then would have to explain with a book keeper behind the projekt, they simply try out cool things...
!attention -enter credits scene!
They have simply worked on it
(word-by-word: they have simply sat them down there),
you can see it good here in the credits, how they also set themselves into scene.. öhm...
This is a heart-project
(no joke or wordplay here, he says you've obviously put ur hearts into that game)
and such a heartproject comes much more likely out of east europe, and you can even say, that "The Void" is quite unique.
/ stupid fuck
The Void - surreal, grotesque, abstract.
Covered in the esotheric clothes of art.
Art in the game?
Or playing with the art?
(we use the same word for "play" and "game" raining and rain)
The idea: progressive.
Nameless mistress:
Its the ability to give; to rip colour out of yourself and awaken dead things to life.
The other bearded guy:
The whole topic and the use of Death and giving Life through colour, colour collecting and the different colours have then a different meaning, i think for... i think wisdom and agility and... and such stuff. The deeper meaning and the handling of it, this could be the only (yes he says only) artistic aspect in the game.
The deeper meaning in the Sims: virtual addiction to a drugless life and: political correctness.
The Void - virtual LSD-"Rausch"
( = what u are when u take drugs or drink alcohol, the word is not negative, its quite good. Well, LSD is not, but - you know )
The more colour, the more skin.
Its visually made quite nice, that you can play a little with the colours... and that you can interact with few poeple and few things, so you dont have to realize such a load of information or quests, that is why you can also... öhm... smile... looking stupid... smile brighter... öhm...
Thats why you can also play it quite well in a "drugconsumed"
(Yes, i translated it absolutely correct. learn german, jackass) status... i think.
and then it flashes quite g... could make much fun.
(Im not changing it here to my favour, this is exactly what he said. ^^ )
/ the other bearded guy
Stupid fuck:
I also think that the programmers arent a long way from there, just look into it a bit. There, it seems to me, has to be vodka or even LSD been in play.
(thats why I call him stupid fuck! This was on TELEVISION! Sew him! Make him pay! *eeeeviiiill* )
/ stupid fuck
Who will succeed in the war of the virtual worlds?
The beautiful new world of the Sims?
Or the stalinistic Endtime-Scenario?
Icepicky? Or big fish?
Stupid fuck:
the Sims III has a very clear system of rules, that also tells itself very fast to the player, there is a user surface, which is really definite, a system of rewards, which functions very fast, so you have first sucesses very soon,
while The Void lets the gamer fall and drown in Chaos for a start and doesnt make it easy for itself
(yes right translation) to explain the different rules to the player.
Its clear, that a game that works in a clear rule system and provides many Success-Experiences and doesnt cause stress beause it serves more or less for relaxing...
A bit earlier The Void was the LSD-game that was easy to play and relaaaaxing, and now it causes stress? Ah screw that guy...
...that this will find a bigger market.
( = will target a bigger group of poeple)
/ stupid fuck
It sounds logic, that Gamers will have less problems to orient themselves in a capitalistic-strategic system.
But the one who dared:
to breach the iron curtain in his head - this one can - only with colour - discover natural wealth.

In austria we say: Habe fertig.
Have complete.
No need to thank me, send me a "The Void"-T-shirt and the thing is over. Well, lets say... two. k?
