Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

[Prime Junta]

As an aside, I wonder what form that affidavit would take? "I attest upon my honour that the individuals in question are regularly fucking. I personally attended on the following occasions..."

Preservin'

I’m sorry but fuck him. He was kicked out because he was constantly drunk and high on ecstasy in the office and refused to write for the games they were contractually obligated to produce. I’m tired of the world sucking his dick because he worked on a few good games, which were majority written by other people.

Yes their executive management team had issue, mistakes were made, but he needs to get over Obsidian and move the fuck on, they clearly have.

I used be friends with him, literally signed an affidavit for his marriage (his wife lived with me when she first got to the states after a brief stint at a Disney program in Florida). I’m just tired of him bad mouthing a studio I have friends still at. He’s not hurting the executive management, he’s hurting the employees at this point by tarnishing their reputation.

Also, he’s doing amazing things, grow the fuck up and move on from it.

His wife is from Australia and she’s great, but when there’s a marriage like that you need to have witnesses validate the relationship and sign a statement, I was one of two that I know of.
He’s not a bad person, but he’s like a high school ex that can’t get over the past.

He was drunk and or high as hell when he kept writing in that thread. No proof on that, but a guess based on how ridiculous it was.

Aside from us day drinking and him going back to the office fucked beyond belief? That’s how I know. He’s also required to have a handler at Dragoncon now because of his drug and alcohol problem. Literally missed his panel and then stumbled into someone else’s and stole the mic. They no longer welcome him back unless he has a handler to stick with him and keep him out of trouble.

Some friend!



Surely there's more people who can discuss the Dragoncon incident. I mean a crowd of people had to see that, right?

Edit: Apparently this was something that may or may not have happened in 2013 and a cursory glance shows no one mentioning it at all. Sounds suspicious. Then again DragonCon is one big nerd orgy and I suppose there could be a "What happens there stays there" policy (which this guy is breaking ).

'I've got a tape right here, I can show you… It's not for the faint of heart, though, they're into some rule 34 shit.'

 

[Nano]

I really doubt it. If it's as bad as that Squizz dude is saying then surely rumors would've spread about this before.

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

Fear and Loathing at Obsidian

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Sounds fake as fuck, but he kind of brought it on himself to be frank. If you spend 5 years randomly throwing shit without showing any evidence hoping some of it sticks, people are going to throw shit back.

All of this is old news and soap opera level drama at this point. Either move on already, or show some actual proof of wrondoing at Obsidian.

 

[fantadomat]

Meh,don't care if he shows purple horse dildos or think himself a green dragon,he writes well and i am yet to be disappointed in it. The rest is irrelevant! Obsidian on other hand,haven't delivered anything of worth in the last decade. I don't give a rat's ass about all that drama and backstabbing,as long as i get decent product.

 

[Prime Junta]

i am yet to be disappointed

Fuck off retard!

 

[Nutria]

The Bulgarian Nazi and the Estonian commie reacted to each within 1 minute? Sorry, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on here.

 

[Prime Junta]

Anyone who hasn't been disappointed in MCA's output over the past several years needs to have

tattooed onto the side of his dick.

Spoiler

Estonian? Where?

Please. He has done nothing that smacks of bad writing. Less than his form in KOTOR 2 or PST, maybe. But bad? Definitely not. You sound like you are butthurt.

Hahahaha both of us have a lot of time to waste and we frequently banter here,we are used to it. Also we have similar tastes more or less,and end up in the same threads.

Spoiler

Estonian? Where?

Meh you are all the same in that corner of Europa.

Less than his form in KOTOR 2 or PST, maybe.

Precisely. He hasn't written anything genuinely memorable since OWB, and for a writer of his calibre, that is really fucking disappointing.

I've heard that his Pathfinder character was pretty good. Also, Durance in PoE is fucking great.

Then again it's my experience that Americans belonging to this kind of "milieu" tend to have extreme negative reactions to any kind of whistleblowing/badmouthing...
Wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was an alcoholic though.

He hasn't written a whole thing in a while,but he have some decent characters like durace and the guy from numanuma.

 

[Prime Junta]

Durance in PoE is fucking great

I couldn't really say, since it's like he wandered in from some completely different game.

I am sorry but I have to disagree. Alpha protocol characters were written very well. Steven Heck happens to be the best character I read about in recent gaming history. Did he not also write Kaelyn the Dove from MoTB? But I may be wrong about that. Not to mention, Durance, nok-nok and Erritis.

It just shows the difference in writing skillz!

It shows that he was out of touch with the rest of the team.

This is like if Marlon Brando went straight from Godfather into bit parts in daytime TV. Wouldn't matter how good he played those bit parts, they're still bit parts in daytime TV.

Disappointing.

And if it didn't disappoint you, then either your standards are really low, or you are an epic fanboy.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Prime Junta Yeah, he hasn't been writing Avellone-quality content since Dad Money. But to be fair, that's when problems at Obsidian started and after leaving he spent most of his time writing one companion and 5 item descriptions for like 500 games, half of which nobody remembers anymore.

Give the guy a chance to actually participate in full production of a good project before calling him out, he's earned the right to be trusted if nothing else. Between new Star Wars game and Dyling Light, seems like he finally made a jump from human stretch goal for indie games into big projects worthy of his reputation. We'll just have to wait and see.

 

[fantadomat]

No,it shows that the rest of the team can't write shit to save their useless life. It stands out as plus for the game.
