No, his girlfriend browses these forums. Then she goes and informs him of significant events.

 

[Black]

I hope he doesn't browse these forums because you guys are creepy.

The plot thickens!

A lucky lady :_:

 

[Sceptic]

Yes, my girlfriend showed them to me the other night, she loved them, and so did I. Kudos to whoever did them, much appreciated.

MCA is such a bro.

 

[Havoc]

I hope he knows that if he screws up Wasteland 2 and the upcoming KS-Obsidian project, this creepy "love" will do a 180* turning into the biggest hate since Todd and Herve combined.

In the mean time, I'm going for a 24h water torture for even thinking that MCA could do wrong.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

you guys are creepy.

creepy elitists

Mr Avellone's lady friend, might I inform you of this small addition to the above collection:

There is a cat in one of the pictures

thank you and make sure he stays handsome for us

 

[Kz3r0]

-How things are going with your boyfriend?
-Wonderfully, even if I discovered that I have a strong competition.
-Understandable, he's so handsome, who is it, Brenda, that slutty blond?
-No, a website.
-What, he has so many girls after him that they made a fan site, like some kind of a rock star?
-Well, no, you see, there is this RPGCodex, with a lot of guys appreciating his work.
-Oh, it's work then, don't worry, it's normal.
-Err...not exactly, you see, they photoshop his photos with glittering hearts and the likes.
-Do you mean like teen girls with a crush?
-Yes, like that.
-And they are all nerds?
-Sorta.
*Blank Stare*

Aww that one is cute as hell!

 

[commie]

sgc_meltdown has finally found a reason to live...

 

[mindx2]

sgc_meltdown, I salute you ! You, sir are a true RPGCodex bro ... even though you will NEVER approach MCA levels...

 

[sgc_meltdown]

-Do you mean like teen girls with a crush?
-Yes, like that.
-And they are all nerds?
-Sorta.
*Blank Stare*

How dare you? Sgc_Meltdown's pictures are nothing like this:

We are not teen girls with a crush, but monocled gentlemen that holds MCA in high regard.

It's funny 'cause it's true!

 

[OSK]

Oh boy. MCA is going to be disappointed when he realizes sgc_meltdown didn't spend hours photoshopping those: http://photofunia.com/

 

[sgc_meltdown]

wait, it wasn't obvious? The first magazine image had the site's name on there for crying out loud

aside from the fact that I had to pick the background for these quickly off google image search and crop them and do manual dodge-burning and shit, I don't think anyone actually cares about the difference

unless you think running his images through the site's filters long enough to come up with monoclean results worthy of my codex bros is insincere or something


wait this is a ploy to get more images off me isn't it

I'm on to your tricks now OSK

edit: removed first crap example, funnily enough I also did this quite a few times with the first two batches

And yet images like this exist and have been posted on the Codex in the past

 

[sgc_meltdown]

images like this

mangoose might remember this one I made on his behalf

 

[Spectacle]

This whole "MCA worship" shtick is getting kinda old. Maybe it's time to stop before it gets even sillier?

Not while W2 is riding high.

The expectations are so unreasonably high that this is unfortunately bound to happen.

 

[Ulminati]

Everyone that has TwinkieGorilla in ignore ,quick, post in this thread.

TwinkieGorilla who?

 

[hiver]

One of the most annoying things about Avellone for me was his constant TALKING about how things should be and good or great design philosophies and ideas - then seeing him involved in very limited ways in actual design of Obsidian games that were not exactly up to par with his thoughts on game design.

It really got aggravating at some point, seeing all that dissonance.

Hopefully, NOW... with Wasteland 2 merely chucking away he will use the opportunity to put his words into something awesome actually happening.
