MI6 teaser: World of ColbertCraft?

by Ross Miller { Jun 23rd 2006 at 2:25PM }

Stephen Colbert (the 't' is silent) has made a minor contribution to the MI6 conference, taking place June 27th and 28th in San Francisco, Ca. In the teaser, Colbert announces the release of World of ColbertCraft. The game promises to be more popular that his last title, Stephen Colbert's Escape from Skateboard Mountain. However, as Colbert explains, "for cost reasons, [WoCC] also takes place on Skateboard Mountain."

Colbert adds that "on the Nintendo Wii, you can use the controller to wag my finger." All the clips seem to have been spliced together quickly; 1UP asserts that the full video will be up on Monday.

The MI6 conference is a game marketing event. It has no relation, unfortunately, to the United Kingdom secret service agency formerly known as MI6.

Love the cover, we all know how colbert hates bears, well him and bob dylan =).

WoCC Patch notes 1.02

-Enchanters can no longer charm bears (they are man hungry killing machines, and as such, un-charmable)
-Fixed a bug that allowed the house of representatives to log in.
-"Better know a Zone" quest line implemented
-Canadian servers were mistakently set to french as a default language. The people responsible have been fired, and the servers reset to 'Swahili'.
-The Placeholder for the 'Make a black friend' quest is now spawning correctly.
-Fixed an issue with an incorrect NPC type spawning. A sheep is now properly spawning in John Stewerts Citadel.
-Fixed a naming issue, NPC 'John Stewert' is now named ,'John Stewart'.
-Revamped in-game assistance, now when in game assitance is requested, the 203 page required bug report has been placed by a much more reasonable 189 page required bug report.

Stephen at his finest. He is so perceptive it is creepy. Any jag could make a D&D joke, but he says stuff like, "Lawful good paladin...redundant, I know..." and now takes such a beautifully aimed shot at such an insightful aspect of popular gaming.

Keep it up Cobert. It seems intelligent comedy is so woefully lacking these days, it is good to see it isn't a completely lost art.

Patch notes (further)

-New class introduced: Liberal. All liberals take twice as much damage and can be attacked by all other players at any time.

-Added damage to any skill that nails an opponent.

-New dungeon: Caves of Bearothes. Battle against the evil Bearothes and his evil bear minions (as well as liberal bear-lovers) as you traverse the ancient tunnels of old. While there, collect the new set of armor: Bearslayer.
