Last pitch was not so bad compared to others but keep in mind that good or bad concept doesn't compromise chances for great game.

I saw just a few and it was terrible. Is this his only panel at SXSW?

No video of his two panels at GDC so far, by the way. :argh:

Hahaha, then Fairfax unloaded on some dude cause he thought that dude was the mod who banned him. Poor soul was just a turbo subscriber. lol.

Does anyone have the archive (if there is one) of Josh's talk?

It says <message deleted>. :lol:

What did you say?
"this guy has the gayest voice ever"
"he should shut the fuck up"
"he wants to suck the whole panel"

Then someone said "he should kickstart it"

I said "he should kickstart a glory hole", and that's when I was banned.

The turbo subscriber said "be nice" just before I said that, so I assumed he was the moderator. :lol:
At least when I was banned in the D:OS2 Codex vs. Watch stream the mod bothered to say something.

What is the point of this turbo thing anyway? The battery icon?

Someone else was ripping into the guy as well.. I guess the glory hole was too triggering.

Probably not in the near future. GDC folks really want people to pay the sweet 2 grand to attend.

Playing PST at the moment.

If I was to make a case that games are "art" then it is Planescape Torment.
Pure art in interactive motion.

Chris and his PST team made something that may not be topped in many years if not decades.
Dam we got lucky before the dark ages set in.

PS:T and the original Fallout are a living proof that the best games are created inside corporate structures, but without too much corporate oversight, when talented people are well-paid, have a lot of time and are given creative control over their work.

A army of pen and paper 70-80's nerds into a industry that hasn't figured out how to make money from the great masses of the unwashed.
Also no ****** 3dfx (the dawn of the end).

We got lucky, real lucky. We have a reference point for incline, a potential "portal" into another world.

The real Torment would of happened if interplay never came to be.
Holly **** that thought almost gave me a nervous breakdown.

Pillars of Eternity was released a year ago, MCA already left Obsidian. Forget about it. That's just how kickstarters work, sometimes they keep promises, sometimes they hang you out to dry.

And I think it's pretty clear at this point that it was the real reason behind his departure. To have an honorable way out. Sometimes you just have to go beyond to norm to save your face. A man's got to do what a man's got to do.

Face it, there will never be MCA Arcanum LP.
