The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Matthew Mercer
- It’s always hard when you’re working on a project, and you’re seeing it in bits and pieces, whether that be film, television, video games, animation – you only really have perspective of what you’re interacting with.
- ‘Resident Evil: Damnation’ was physically mo-capped and recorded with the mo-cap actors first, so there wasn’t a whole lot of flexibility with timing, so it was more stringent. We had to go in individually.
- The rules – I think that’s one big thing that people seem to get caught up in is that I have to know all the rules… But, one thing you have to consider as a new Dungeon Master is you do not have to know the rules like the back of your hand.
- ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ has evolved over the years, and so has the community that played the game. It had a lot of lingering stigma from the anti-‘D&D’ movement of the ’70s and ’80s – this kind of idea that ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ is only played by the lowest of the low basement dwellers – that has kept people from being comfortable talking about it.
- A lot of gaming and a lot of interaction is no longer physical; it’s all digital and at a distance. There’s this innate, tribal need of the people to have face time with other people and play together in person. I think there’s been this rediscovery of the joy of playing with people around the table.
- There’s an old-school gatekeeper mentality to some of the RPG community: ‘It’s unfair that somebody out there can make money on something that I worked so hard to make for free for my friends.’
- A lot of games and voiceover projects, they’re not giving the actor a lot of context. The actor, no matter how good they are, might not be able to deliver a performance that fits the action.
- There aren’t a lot of entertainment-based mediums, the visual or recorded mediums, that empower the audience to go off the next day and create it themselves. You can’t watch a movie or a show and the next day say, ‘I want to make that.’ You have to go to school.
- For a lot of people, ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ has been a hard thing to describe. I can’t tell you how many social environments I’ve been in where I say, ‘I play ‘D&D,” and a bunch of normies will be like, ‘How does the game even work? What’s that like?’ I didn’t have anything to really describe it that didn’t make me sound like a crazy person.
- The difference between ‘Resident Evil: Damnation’ and ‘Resident Evil 6’ is in ‘Resident Evil 6’ we did facial mo-cap, along with the voice over. We had these little reflectors glued to our faces and these head pieces in this room filled with light with about 40 cameras.
