"Karl Kombatmage 2" Ignites Summer Season
The entertainment world is buzzing with the release of the trailer for "Karl Kombatmage 2". This sequel to the breakthrough blockbuster of two years ago is hailed by insiders as surpassing the amazement of the original.
Four years ago, New Bavarian SimSinn Studios took a chance on an unknown filmmaker named Hans Cliber, who came to NBSS lead producer Jan Marx with a remarkable proposal: installing a simrig into a mage. Marx saw the potential and together they took the plunge, creating the most innovative simsense production the world had ever seen.
"Never before had the sim viewer been able to feel what it's like being magically active," said Cliber, who wrote and starred in "Karl Kombatmage," and who will be returning to the role this summer. "I always thought that it was a shame that although you could become a spy, or a street sam, or a famous polititian, you could never really feel what I think is the best feeling in the world, which I think is bending the mana to your will to cast a spell. So I thought, 'why not make a sim myself'?"
The original grossed over $200 billion nuyen worldwide, beating out such hits as "Against the Hivemasters" and NBSS's own "Drehen, Nicht Drücken". Overnight, Karl Kombatmage became the epitome of cool for teens (and more than one adult) the world over. Merchandising tie-ins also broke records for sales, with even the previously outdated "action figure" making a huge comeback. "Kombatmage" games have been released on every major gaming system, along with a multiplayer Matrix game with millions of players jacking in each day.
This success has not come without a cost for Hans Cliber. "Everyone said I was insane to have a simrig installed. Of course it has made magic a little bit harder. But I knew it was worth the sacrifice in order to make such an amazing sim, and to let everyone feel a little bit of what magic can be."
This summer, audiences around the world will get a second taste of magic. The poly-POV action sim promises more spells, more motorcycles, more gunfights, and of course, the infamous dragon. When asked if he had really gotten a dragon to star in "KK2", Cliber just smiled slyly. "Well, I suppose you will have to see my film to find out."

Ohmygodomigodomygod!! This is gonna be so frackin' cool!!! Didja see the part with the boat? And the part with the exploding house?? And the frackin' DRAGON?????
Best sim ever! Anyone who sez diffrn't, Du Gehst Jetzt! Scan that Chummers, the fraggin' dragon is for real, but ain't nobody gives old Karl Kombatmage the laugh, he's got Franz and Uli backing him up, and you couldn't ask for better daddies on the roof!
YOu remember that time when Karl drove that motorcycle up that guys fragging face, and then jumped off and shot those three guys in midair? That was awesome!!
Okay, everyone calm down and repeat after me: "It's just a sim. It's just a sim..."
I remember you could still see the wires... when there were wires!
I want to know what it feels like to be a Dragon!
Yes, Poser... Yes you do!
Well, back to my chip!
*Oh, Dunkelzahn...*
Word is that a young (according to the size, not any known age. How old are dragons anyway?) Western Dragon named Sturmauge was seen in Bayern during some of the early recording of the new flick, either he's observing, or he's in it. Either way, It's going to be a hell of a sim.
Hell yes. More Kombatmage worship means more ladies for who? Me, baby...me.
And just so you mundanes understand, Cliber is so cybered up that his magic is 100% special effects. He couldn't powerbolt his way out of a wet paper bag.
I, on the other hand am a REAL Kombatmage.
You don't know what the drek you're talking about, dude. Hans Cliber is the greatest mage ever. He will ride his motorcycle up your face for fun and profit...on his way to breakfast...with a supermodel on the back.
SO THERE!!!
