The next guest on Matt Chat is none other than our old friend Colin McComb. Colin joined Larian to work on Baldur's Gate III last May, only to leave at the end of that year. These days he's doing VR stuff at his company 3lb Games and also writing novels again. That's the topic of the first twelve minutes of the interview, after which Matt circles back to the beginning of Colin's career. He was an Ultima and Gold Box fan who got lucky and managed to score a job at TSR right out of college. Colin doesn't really get into his computer game development work in this episode, though he does recount the story of how he met his wife thanks to a database crash during the development of Planescape: Torment.


At the very end of the episode, Matt asks Colin about Baldur's Gate III as a cliffhanger. We'll have to wait for the next episode to hear his reply, but I wouldn't expect much.
