This comparison was what convinced me that, yeah, I wasn't just hearing things.

Brian Eno's Alternative 3 from "Music For Films"

That's explicit enough that you probably don't need the Morgan piece side by side if you've ever heard it, but here it is:

Wow, that's pretty crazy. Very blatant.

This tends to happen a lot in video game forums I've noticed.

Every response you received is basically accurate (especially HondaCivet's). I loved Wasteland. You say you have not loved anything this much since being a kid--well, I was a kid when first this excited about this game. The original post gets a little into how Wasteland made me a lifelong fan of not only the post-apocalyptic genre (which the game was my introduction to) but also laser-focused my interest in CRPGs, at a time when CRPGs had just been one of many genres of game I bought (kids are often indiscriminate about these things). For more personal history, well, I have been in the Snake Squeezins Yahoo fan group since the 1990s, and have even gamed with Ken St. Andre (for that personal touch!). Also this is one of the walls of my office:



The exact equation is aesthetic lust + recognizing contagiousness of excitement + irrational passion for hyperbole + enjoyable work break + Proton Ax = Wasteland 2 > food, water, shelter. Maybe if you were working on your dissertation proposal at the same time that a game you have super-loved for 25 years was making its sudden return to prominence, you would be doing this, too.

Oh man, where did you get those Fallout posters? I would kill to have those hung up in my office at home.

Oh, I just scanned the boxes in as high a resolution as possible and printed them out in a sort of vaguely easily-framed size. I was going to do the same with 3, but I decided the lunchbox (in the corner of the picture) would suffice.

If it has never occurred to you to do this, do not worry too much about it, as I had access to a high-quality scanner and printer for years before it suddenly dawned on me that I might be able to use these devices in tandem for any particular purpose.

You are a genius. I will be finding a way to do this. Thank you.

From that AMA that NMA summarized -


quote:

locust64: Brian and Chris, How linear are you thinking this game will be? And how to you think the re-play value will be? -Also, if the game is deep and long enough (and i have faith it will be) Have you considered a strategy guide?

Chris F. Avellone: Linearity can suck my balls. Wasteland 1 let you go anywhere and suffer the consequences - or reap the rewards.

Haha. Awesome. Yes, this game will be awesome.

I know that, but I did not authorize them to post any charges to any of the cards on that account but the one I actually used. They posted pending charges to my checking, my savings, my credit card, my grandmother's checking, my aunt's checking, and probably to my ex-gf's card if it weren't like 5 years expired.

Give your bank a call. My number was in the batch and someone tried to use it a few days ago.
