Ecko and the industry, part deux

Last week, we reported on the first part of metro's interview with fashion designer Marc Ecko, whose new game Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure has just been released to mixed reviews. Metro has posted the second part of the interview, and there are plenty of juicy quotes abound:

• On how the game has been received by the gaming community (we think): "They're scared that she went to the prom and she lost her virginity and she might leave the house."
• Comparing the fashion industry to the games industry:
  "If you think that the fashion industry is filled with divas, no, the worst divas are the guys who got wedgies in high school."
• On making another game: "Yeah, this is my first baby. This is my 'She's gotta have it.' The next baby will be twins or triplets."

His diction may be a little more colorful than your average industry interview, but one thing is made abundantly clear from the metro piece: Marc Ecko is a gamer. He reads IGN and knows enough to reference Call of Duty and Black. You may not like his game (or even know who he is), but this man has fulfilled a dream we have all at one point had, and that is to make a video game. We are hesitant, but curious to see his sophomore effort.
