Not wanting my early years internet shenanigans known to the general public is reason enough to hope to never be important enough to have a following of any kind.

I am actually happy for Bro None and a bit envy him. I know he does a lot of (maybe not the most interesting) work for inXile and already for quite time, so he is now allowed to take part in making games, I'm sure that's what he wanted to achieve during the years of work.

It's not like their writing (inxile) will be worse off than it is if they have BN writing. Torment has to be an exponential leap in quality from WL2's script, for it to even begin honoring the legacy of PST.

I don't get why Brother None is using his real name around, I mean, I knew I would't.
When you work full-time as a representative of a company, being known by your handle/nickname in official capacity does not exactly smack of professionalism or trustworthiness.

Also, gotta impress the ladies. :obviously:

More Wasteland 2 UK media blitzing at Kotaku.uk: http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2014/07/30/wasteland-2-almost-many-words-bible

It seems from talking to him that Fargo has kept close control over Wasteland 2's tone, and though he has not restricted the writers in terms of subject matter, he has attempted to preserve its maturity. "I’ve removed stuff I thought was juvenile," he says, "like a guy called the Sperminator, or something like that." Wasteland 2 isn't lazy about the choices it offers players, and it mustn't be lazy in its writing, either.

:lol:
The character's still in the game, he got renamed. ;)

Free Bard's Tale key to anyone who can figure it out. :P

Guy Cocker?

Not completely right about the second point.+M

This thread is too much, you guys crack me up.

I did a few more (more game-specific) interviews/Q&As, including one audio one, for those who can't get enough of hearing my voice.

Still on press tour but in Germany now. Hamburg, then Munich. Hope we'll see some Codexers in the BBQ in Munich!

I would have dropped by if you'd been in Berlin...
I might even have provided you with a useful to know German phrasebook.

Monday 18:00 in the Schwanthalerhöhe district. I'd move it for ya but I don't think "it's so Scrooge won't have to come to Munich!" will be very convincing for Brian.

Anyone who wants to come just ping us at support@inxile.net. We'll have plenty of space I believe.

I hear that, I was kidding, fyi. Just reminded me of some stuff from years ago on the CG forums.
