<a href="http://www.nma-fallout.com">No Mutants Allowed</a> now have a <a href=http://www.nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=7219>profile</a> of the Supreme Fallout Commander <b>Tim Cain</b> where he answers Odin's heap of questions.
<br>

<br>
<blockquote>This is a trick question for me, since I have already been given a blank slate not once but twice, first with Fallout and then with Arcanum. These both were opportunities to make brand new games – new engines, new role-playing systems, new universes, new everything. Of course, I’d love to get that opportunity again, but I could not predict what it would be any more than I could have predicted making Fallout or Arcanum before I actually made them.</blockquote>
<br>

<br>
I certainly hope he does get that opportunity again. Licensed games are generally just a big 'ol bag of trouble.
<br>

<br>
Thanks to <b>Briosafreak</b> for the heads up.

Anyone else have trouble accessing NMA with zonealarm on, since the redesign? Works fine off.

True - but Arcanum wasn't extactly everybody's cup of tea either. Still, he proved with the original Fallout that he could do something original and decent (although I believe even that started off as a licenced GURPS product).

What happens ?

If I go to the domain I see Marcus for half a sec, then it quits loading and jumps to a "can't display page". If I follow the profile link from this piece of news I get Marcus and a half loaded page - no content, only menu. If I turn off zonealarm it works getting there either way.

Clean the cache on your browser, turn Zone Alarm off, go to NMA, close the browser, turn Zone Alarm on, and you should get the page(but slowly). Then head to Zone Alarm support, the last update of the thing has some serious issues and they are advising people to go back one version.

I usually always keep my cache empt and I don't even think I have the latest zone alarm version - considering I don't subscribe.

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Zone Alarm seems to give me no problems.

 

[Briosafreak]

Clean the cookies then.

 

[Araanor]

Get a better firewall. Kerio works fine for me.

 

[Whipporowill]

Clean the cookies then.

Uh. I did? I'm not totally stupid. But thanks for trying anyway. No difference whatsoever. I guess it'd work if I add nma as a trusted site. It just bugs me having to do that.

 

[Spazmo]

I wouldn't trust NMA, though. Their host keeps trying to pull sneaky shit.

 

[Sol Invictus]

I remember when their host tried to install a damn virus on my PC.

 

[Odin]

I can feel the love in this room...

WHAT, we can't install spyware and viruses anymore ?? ( that really happened?)

 

[Briosafreak]

Whipporowill whatever is wrong is on your side then, good luck..

 

[Whipporowill]

"Can you feel the looooove tonight"


YUCK.

Back on topic. Great read - like the earlier two (no matter having to turn off my firewall). I guess them not working at I-play anymore sort of loosens their tongues.

 

[Sol Invictus]

Yeah Odin, that really happened. You can ask Insane-Lark, too. It happened to her as well.

Btw, something is going on with Troika and Obsidian!

 

[DrattedTin]

Huh?

 

[Whipporowill]

Btw, something is going on with Troika and Obsidian!

What, you mean like pooling their resources to get the license? Or talking a developer into buying it and working on it together?

The aftermath of Interplay. How unpredictable.

 

[Sol Invictus]

It's likely.

 

[Briosafreak]

Hey let`s not start rumours guys, let`s just leave people handle their businesses in peace. I never heard of any association of that type for the future, besides wishfull thinking, let`s leave it at that for now ok?

 

[Sol Invictus]

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Hell, I think we should start rumors just to irk the hell out of Volourn.

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Oh goodie, i miss his "don't spread lies, myths and innuendo" punchline.

 

[Briosafreak]

Ok i can live with that
