It looks like Matt Barton has definitively settled his disputes with OtherSide Entertainment. Last night, he uploaded the first episode of his new interview with Paul Neurath, which was apparently recorded earlier this month. It's a fairly short episode, focusing on the recently Kickstarted Underworld Ascendant, and specifically on Paul's experiences with Kickstarter, on the importance of AI and on the game's systems-driven design.

Love that photo at 13:30. The next episodes will be about the good old Looking Glass days.

This is strange. I can watch this video even though I have his channel blocked on youtube.

Hope he interviews Jason D. Anderson soon, as I suggested...

Good suggestion, would be nice to hear from him after all this time.

 

[Infinitron]

Don't hold your breath. He's notoriously reclusive.

I really hope this project turns out well. Neurath and those guys really knew how to make games that were fun to play. Watching the footage of UW1 reminds me of how much I really loved that game. Wasn't there a project to update its graphics or something like that? Whatever happened with that? Would love to do a replay of UW1 with graphics that don't make my eyes bleed. I mean I guess that was kind of the point of Arx Fatalis and Arkane did a wonderful job with that game, but still.

Still nothing but a bunch of talk and big imagination ideas. I'm still lacking confidence this will be anything but a low budget, 8 hour, boring dungeon crawler.

Also, why is it these guys all look like soul-less animatrons? Was it all the time spent on F2P and Zynga shit?

What I want to know is what these guys did to Zep--

They shit on my childhood memories with lies and deceit.

Finally, I've been asking him to interview Neurath for ages.

"Sorry I was a little pissbaby. So let's talk about Ultima Ascendent... "

Really Matt? Ultima Ascendant? I can see why reaching out to you should have been number one priority during the campaign, what with your 1000 video views and clear professionalism. Maybe Neurath will do an interview with me next. I've got a couple buddies that might throw him some shekels if I show them the video.

What's not strange or unusual is passive aggressive nonsense in online forums
