Australia is the Wasteland.

Edit: RB, you are a man among men. Thank you so much for all of your time, effort and scorpitrons.

Quarex, congrats on your gig at the Wasteland 2 party. Well deserved.

Seeing that the shirt has arrived for another Aussie has me excited to see if mine has arrived by now! My wife did just email me to tell me a package arrived... yep! Love the shirt, and the return sticker joke was nice and subtle. :) A HUGE loving BLUNT's name got some raised eyebrows from the wife, but I wouldn't be concerned about wearing this shirt down the street.

What was the return sticker joke, for those of us who already have way too many T-shirts so didn't get one? (Seriously, I can't physically fit them all into the tiny piece of wardrobe space I have allocated to them.)

Ok, weird... forever ago, I looked into getting KSP, but there didn't seem to be a mac version. I'm well aware that Unity easily exports for Mac, but didn't know KSP was made with it. Awesome!!!

You may have just looked too early - mac support was added (to KSP, I'm pretty sure Unity had it before that) in fall of last year, with version 0.10.

Hey RagingBoner, if you survive your meeting with Quarex, feel free to post my shirt as I'm finally back home :)

Just caught up with the thread since I left, that cover art is absolutely gorgeous. I might actually like it better than the original (but I don't have the same nostalgic attachment to the original Wasteland as some of you do, so there's that).

So wasteland 2 is going to use a hybrid camera model where you can change from top town to isometric. [source]

quote:

Clearly things have changed since the first game and we are not trying to create a Apple II experience. What we like is the depth, cause and effect, the setting, the skills based system, Desert Rangers, modern weaponry etc. about Wasteland. We are going to allow the user to set the camera in different places so you can choose if you want a more top down view vs. a more isometric one.

I'm thinking something like the camera on Empire Earth, where you can "roll in" from a top down, to isometric, to a surface level view.

That sounds about par for the course. As long we don't have to fight the camera like some games it should be alright. Although, part of me thinks it would be kind of neat if they did something like the new XCOM's glam cam during battles.

I have been reading and appreciating all the positive comments here, and particularly enjoy the thread title change (thanks, probably-AxeManiac!). I was trying to lay low during this randomly super-busy month. Though to be fair I also played Day Z when I should have been playing Wasteland, but I think I have that under control now.

lordfrikk posted:

I have, actually, several times. I am what is known as a "globehopping elitist prick." Wait, I mean, "seasoned world traveller." I have spent about 2 1/2 years living in not-America, though less than a year of that was in Europe, and all in the U.K.

I seem to recall you being in like the Netherlands or something, which I have only been in for about a week total. And no I do not have any illegitimate children. The hilarious joke is to say "that I know of," but I keep a pretty good record of these things. Edit: I just remembered that one of my friends from Sweden told me I looked just like a guy named "David" that she knew. Let me know if my doppleganger is named David, and we might be on to something.

Also while that is a lovely picture, I think I look more like myself when not trying to imitate the photo of myself as a 1-year-old I posted earlier in the thread (though that expression does properly convey my excitement for Wasteland 2). I really look most like myself when you can see the Wasteland 2 Goons shirt and that I am about 8 feet taller than Angus Young of AC/DC:



Credit to Raging Boner for wanting visual proof of just how amazingly actually-schoolboy-sized he really is. I suppose it looks like I have a neckbeard, but you have to realize, I also have the world's biggest face.

I think PSI-5 is going to win the award for Wasteland 2 Goons shirt style photos.

Not pictured: pipe made from jorts.

My problem was that I catastrophically outgrew jorts roughly five seconds before joining the forums.

My weight SOUNDS high enough to qualify, but I waste it on being a hundred feet tall. At least I grew my hair back out last year, or I might look borderline respectable-by-everyday-society.

Wasteland 2 will include Wasteland 1.

EA seems to be really cool about all this. I guess the combination of Brian Fargo still having friends there and Wasteland 2 being available on Origin is letting them pull some strings.
