Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

[TemplarGR]

Ridiculous claim.

I'm openly in love with Avellone, and out-of-the-closet gay for him.

An exception does not disprove the rule.

 

[Darth Roxor]

i think the exception here would be if you found someone secretly in love with MCA-senpai

On this week's episode, a narrative designer and writer for games like FTL, Into the Breach, Original Sin II, Prey, and Fallout: New Vegas, who’s currently working on Dying Light 2 and an unannounced game with Ken Levine, Chris Avellone, joins host Josiah Renaudin to discuss narrative design. Chris covers what it means to be a story doctor, what stage of development a games writer most often enters a project, the number of projects some freelancers juggle, how to make additional text in RPGs appealing for the player, and the difficulty of writing a Star Wars game.

Is this song indicative of the general quality of Saxon's music?

Yeah, saxon are fucking great, if that's what you mean. I prefer their first, pure NWOBHM period, but this melodic power metal style can be found mostly in their later albums. Check out Lionheart, The secret of flight, Guardians of the tomb, The Thin Red Line, Deeds of glory, Conquistador.

These interviews are so non-informational with MCA. Everything what is asked had been asked before in the hundreds of interviews in the last decade. The only new stuff he can add is the info about his current projects.

MCA working on some Star Wars project:


KOTOR2 regrets:

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Shit, it's that "turn-based breaks my immersion" retard, smudboy again.

 

[Nutria]

more to come!

Sorry MCA, but hearing this news, I just did.

 

[Neanderthal]

Shit, it's that "turn-based breaks my immersion" retard, smudboy again.

I find getting out o bath breaks my immersion.

MCA working on some Star Wars project:

That means he's working with EA, since they own the SW videogame license for another five years. Nothing good will come out of it.

It's not necessarily a video game. He could be working on more comic books, a novel, a TV show, a PnP module, etc.

Avellone becomes a woman in order to replace Kathleen Kennedy. Her new name is "Annah".

 

[Ninjerk]

Boundless incline

 

[Drax]

Chris Avellone You can tell us here, nobody ever notices us.

ps. "no one?" well, whatevs.

 

[Mustawd]

 

[ScrotumBroth]

NSFW that shit son.

 

[2house2fly]

He needs to write a damn RPG and become a woman.

 

[Barbarian]

It's probably a comic or something equally lame. Maybe he is writing an episode for those shitty animations or a short piece of fiction. I would be surprised if Disney actually allowed him to do a game with the IP and even more surprised to have a competent studio handling it.

Even have a ballad about a train. So English.



Thing about delivering the mail though, I get a kick out of thinking it's a song dedicated to Postman Pat's delivery truck.

 

[Barbarian]

Saxon is awesome. I don't even like heavy metal and can listen to some of their songs on a loop. This is my personal favorite:

He did add it as a bark. New Reno prostitutes say this in the post-endgame:

You score is 192 out of 208. You really should have used the mutated toe on Horrigan.

He regretted the joke and clarified it in the Fallout Bible:

The second question is a real mystery for me, because I only managed to verify that part of it. Someone called "Cervantes" asked about the sixth toe gained in Toxic Caves, which can be removed in Vault City. That part is clear but now is something interesting... Cervantes says, that after he finished the game whores in New Reno kept saying: "You really should use the mutated toe on Horrigan" (to get full amount of points). Is it true or is Cervantes just pulling my leg? :-]

It's just a joke; don't do it. It doesn't do anything. Don't eat the toe, either, since I believe it poisons you.

Master Chef had a question about the mutated toe.

You said something about the mutated toe doing nothing to Horrigan....But it actually made his HP turn from 999/999 to 996/996.

Yeah, that's true, it will do some poison damage to Horrigan, like it will do to anyone else. So it does something, just nothing special.

Again, please ignore any rumors telling you to use the toe on Horrigan at the end battle in Fallout 2 - it's a bad joke.
