I Need Some Help - Press Interview Tomorrow

Postby Elomin Sha » 15 Feb 2012, 13:24

I am conducting my first press interview with a games company tomorrow. I have the traditional questions ready but I was wondering if there were any questions you suggest I should make.

Before you ask; yes, I will be asking about their stance towards erotic Star Trek fan fiction.

I believe favourite pony was the other standard question.

I'm surprised you haven't made the suggestion of 'don't threaten them with fire' Geoff.

It's not really a question is it? Maybe you should ask if they have any problems you can help with by burning them.

We know each other already. So hand shakes aren't needed.

I'd keep the fire handy. Y'know... just in case.

Well that went better than I thought. I was awesome. When I was interviewing Ian he was a little put off with the camera so we did it old school with a dictaphone.

Shame, our white board humour would have been great.

I said being in front of the camera wasn't too bad. Ian told me to do it and I used my superb acting skills to show him up. The other members of the team liked seeing him in an awkward situation. Many girlish sniggers.

If you get the jitters next time, just ask the interviewee to imagine you naked. Then ask them if they like what they imagine they see. Slap them if they say "Yes"... or "No". Really puts everybody at ease afterword.
