Company News Codex Scoop: Brian Fargo has trademarked cancelled time travel RPG Meantime...and also Van Buren?!

[Jedi Master Radek]

Seems like only America hates rpgcodex enough to not give credits.

There are many English reports, I just chose those more exotic ones for coolness factor.

Some more gaming sites spread the word, mostly crediting us. We are now a respected gaming news source:

Redaktorzy RPG Codex wypatrzyli wczoraj dosyć niespodziewanie, że studio inXile wypełniło stosowne papiery i zarezerwowało na własność nazwę Van Buren. Nie chciałbym rozpalać zawczasu nadziei, ale przypomnę tylko, że jest to ekipa odpowiedzialna za Wasteland 2. Częścią tego zespołu jest także Brian Fargo, czyli jeden z twórców oryginalnego Fallouta. Co ciekawe zaczepiony na twitterze przez redaktorów RPG Codex wcale nie zaprzeczył doniesieniom.

Well, that's not really true :D. (They wrote that tweet "The codex investigative unit strikes again." is about Van Buren).
Imagine this drama if it will come out that Fargo was only trolling codex and all these people will be disappointed.

Codex being accepted as mainstream can only make codexers and the mainstream miserable.

Roguey is taking trolling to places few would dare to imagine.

How many people we will make miserable is of a minor importance, what is important is how many people we can indoctrinate.

So the Codex is now taking credit and pride in Roguey's (of all people) own probing.

Meantime: Van Buren
It can't get any more meta than this.

You go back in time when Fallout: Van Buren was being developed and you can help Black Isle Studios finish the game.

True. Another large batch of people register to complain about the Codex being a "hate-filled cesspit". Infinitron's newfound fame gets him poached to post news at RPS for more Doritos. Roguey gets promoted to staff to replace him and begins posting 'Roguey Retrospectives" on the entire Codex Top 70. The Codex Star Wars 7 thread is discovered by hordes of SJW's, DU ends up hosting the Codex from a barge anchored near Easter Island. Flash ads now included in every post to pay for it.

Then it all turns out to have been a stunt by Fargo to troll the Codex, as he's still butthurt about the W2 thread.

Are we somehow proud that codex news is being reported by mainstream sites? Would be nice if i got a private tracker invite out of this.

Apparently none of them can be damned to be on top of this themselves, so yes, mainstream sites citing an enthusiast site is worth some crowing.

I thought codex was done with it's self validation phase. Good that it was reported, proud its reported? couldnt care less.

 

[naossano]

Maybe meantime will have a quest in which you have to stop Van Buren from being cancelled.

 

[Drax]

You guys kidding?
The codex being famous would mean an endless flow of clueless newfag morons to mock. Comedy heaven.

 

[SarcasticUndertones]

Too bad we discovered this over the weekend. So far the only other site that has picked up on it is: http://core-rpg.ru/news/inxile_ente...iroval_tovarnyj_znak_meantime/2014-12-07-3374

(Because in Soviet Russia, week ends YOU!)

They took the site name AND the story?

That's fucking weak.

All that fresh young meat.

Does the life of president Van Buren interesting enough for an RPG ?

I just checked on him and...no, not really.

 

[Gondolin]

I just checked on him and...no, not really.

It depends on who writes the story. Van Buren is the man who actually built the Democratic Party, turning it from a loose gathering of people into a political machine. In the USA, the age of political parties as we know them today started with Van Buren.

We NEED a Taft RPG.

We NEED a Taft RPG.

What about a Nixon or Johnson RPG.

All sound good, esp Nixon, but we all know what the ultimate would be:

Codex hipsters were here before it was mainstream <3

We asked Fargo for a comment on the news, and here's what he said: "Those sure sounds like interesting concepts to me."

 

[FeelTheRads]

Fargo...

Come on, inXile, take a hint from the mainstream. Put up some teasers for trailers for countdowns.

 

[skuphundaku]

I forsee that a new Kickstarter campaign will be launched by InXile sometimes around March 2015. It could be as late as April 2015 but certainly not before the end of February 2015. Y'all can quote me for truth on this.
