Another person I forced to sit and be interviewed by me at DICE last week was
Michael Smith, the clever guy behind the alternate reality game
"Perplex City."
Avid readers of my blog will recall my recent
brush with that nutty game. Smith was fresh off announcing the coincidental (promise!) same-day discovery of the $200,000 prize "Perplex City" cube, found by a gamer digging in the woods north of London.
Smith is really sharp. So I talked to him about why he was at DICE
and wrote about it for today's Multiplayer. I also talked to him about how in the world he hid that cube and kept it secret for two years. That part's on tape and attached to the Multiplayer entry. Alternately, you can
just click here to watch it. (If you're reading this entry after the week I posted it, you'll have to flip through the multiplayer.mtv.com site back to the Feb 14 entry)
