MCA never played Arcanum, loves RPGCodex

[Razz]

Eurogamer: You've never played Arcanum?!

Chris Avellone: Well, look, in all the conversations I've had with Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, we've never discussed it. It's always been that way.

Eurogamer: The RPGCodex would be pretty cross with you, Chris.

Chris Avellone: I think they're going to be cross with me no matter what I do, and I've learned to live with it as long as they provide me with detailed critiques, because past all the profanity they'll spit out, they've actually got some good information on why certain systems are broken, and which ones aren't. Those are actually worth paying attention to, so I value those guys.

Eurogamer: So you read it, then?

Chris Avellone: Oh, yeah, sure. The two sites I usually follow are RPGWatch and RPGCodex.

[Clockwork Knight]

I think they're going to be cross with me no matter what I do

well, at least he isn't butthurt about the codexian rules of shit-flinging

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

your patriotic duty would have been to pm me and point me to this interview instead of greedily post it yourself trying to reap all the fame

 

[Razz]

I am a noob in the posting field and need the Codex cool points.

Fucking lurkers.

 

[relootz]

It feels good to be appreciated for my insightfull replies. Thank you MCA.

 

[MetalCraze]

Our shithole is p. prestigious.

 

[DriacKin]

But, to be honest, I think he's just trying to be polite.
I mean, even if does think of this place as a shithole or a cesspool, he can't actually say that -- it'd be terrible PR. Instead, his response seemed like a safe, non-controversial statement.

 

[spekkio]

Yup. He isn't a true-BRO.
If he was, he would've responded with standard:
"I try to avoid this site. RPGCodex is for fags".

 

[Pablosdog]

Bro man, Don't talk about our lord and savior like that. Inb4 MCA spam images.

Rather I think the fact that MCA and Eurogamer officially talk about the Codex in an interview means ITZ is near.

I'm sure even Bethesda reads our shit.

 

[Thrasher]

I wouldn't go that far.

 

[Droog White Smile]

We actually had Bethesda people posting here, before VD and his ilk decided that it was cool and hip to deride Oblivion.

 

[Thrasher]

Pre- pre-decline...

 

[Melcar]

It only adds to our prestige.

Your trolling crossed the line into "too obvious". You've gotten complacent, forgotten your roots, and now nothing distinguishes you from the thousands of trolls out there.

Edit: Wtf Avellone, play Arcanum.

So my not following the current "party line" makes me a troll? Cool logic.

Not following any line except that of being "controversial" does.

 

[Droog White Smile]

Um, no? I'm simply being honest here.

 

[Derper]

Me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me...

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Kuuuuu, MCA-sama we love you too, nya!



Anyway, MCA should give Arcanum a spin, since Drog finished the work on it.

 

[Silellak]

So we had Bethesda people posting here until people started rightfully criticizing their sub-par game?

Good riddance.

 

[Droog White Smile]

Deriding != criticizing.
