Holy shit!!!
Isn't he busy with space travels and Mayan orgies?

Well, done J_C Matt.

Well, done J_C Matt.

Apparently you missed out on the news of his upcoming new Single Player Game MMO Kickstarter?

 

[Stabwound]

Yeah, Richard Garriott has been taking interviews and appearances anywhere he can get his face lately. It's weird seeing him so much after this long.

 

[Brzęczyszczykiewicz]

According to Matt's facebook page (not MINE, MATT'S), he is interviewing Lord British right now. We will have a video on his kickstarter soon.

When are you going to make interview with people working on new Torment, Matt?

 

[Luzur]

It is just a typo probably. I saw her wife's picture on Facebook several times.

Another typo?

Dammit.

It was a typo, I swear.

a tranny wife? oh god the plot is getting complicated

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Congrats to your husband for this great upcoming interview!

Congrats to your husband for this great upcoming interview!

Fuck you!

 

[Jaesun]

It's going to be horrible watching this interview. Take the Father of the Ultima series, then reboot the franchise by smearing social element feces all over it, and see him be all excited about it. D:

 

[Jarpie]

Matt is a good interviewer so maybe we can get actually something out of the interview, probably at least part of the interview will be on Origin days.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Then why has there been no Garriott appearance on RPGCodex yet?

I'm going to try to post a full hour worth of Garriott today to make up for the past two weeks I've been on... http://fb.me/1CfMj9c35

Matt Chat 187: Shroud of the Avatar with Richard Garriott

 

[Stabwound]

Very good interview, Matt. By far the best I've seen of RG during his recent kickstarter interview craze. You came across like one of the first interviewers to have any real knowledge of Ultima or the way a good one would be.

 

[Metro]

Matt loves WoW so this should be right up his alley.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Nice interview but I'm still not sold on Shroud of the Avatar at all.

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah. I watched 20 minutes of it so far. He never actually explains WHY social shit actually makes a BETTER cRPG. It DOES make a better game for his company (micro-transactions) but not why it makes a better cRPG.

 

[Davaris]

I liked his idea for the journal that lists the player's activities in the world. I thought it was a good compromise.

Matt Chat 188: Joel Billings on the Fall of SSI
Published on Mar 31, 2013
In the final part of my interview with SSI president Joel Billings, we chat about how his company collapsed despite the success of Panzer General. Joel recounts the troubles he had with Electronic Arts, and why the decision to sell out to Mindscape ultimately proved his undoing.

Why hasn't he interviewed Cleve yet?

 

[Destroid]

Why hasn't he interviewed Cleve yet?

Matt basically relies on other people to hook him up, so if you want to see it happen, get Cleve to agree to it then contact Matt.

I would also love to see this interview.

 

[Diablo169]

Cleve can't do an interview, it would be like the Wizard of Oz stepping out from behind the curtain.

 

[J_C]

As you all know, I'm obviously not Matt Barton, but I'd like to present you his lates book:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/1466567538/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_34oxrb197302T

His previous book (Dungeons and Desktops) was very good, and I assume this one will be on the same level. Interviews with:

1. John Romero
2. Rebecca Heineman
3. Tim Cain
4. Brian Fargo
5. Chris Avellone
6. Chris Taylor
7. Howard Scott Warshaw
8. Jon Hare
9. Ralph Baer
10. David Fox
11. George "The Fat Man" Sanger
12. Mark Soderwall
13. Megan Gaiser & Robert Riedl
14. Paul Reiche III & Fred Ford

Count me in!

 

[Humanity has risen!]

I like Matt a lot, but if I base myself on the Heineman Gamasutra article this is a transcription of the video interviews.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Not really something I'm interested in buying, but I definitely don't begrudge Matt trying to make a couple bucks off it. Just like I'm all for his asking for donations at the end of a show. Matt's interviews are pretty unique and a hell of a lot of fun, and more meaningful and interesting than just let's play videos or something. He sorta reminds me of a videogame version of Stanley Wiater and his "Dark Dreamers" interviews with people involved in horror writing/movies/shows (Which incidentally was a lot of fun to watch. I'd recommend it if you wanna scrounge up a copy).

That said, I'd totally be interested in a full Matt Barton let's play. Not at the expense of any of his other videos of course, but if he ever gets a wild hair up his ass to talk about and record himself playing through one of his favorite games I'd most likely watch all the rat-killing he could throw at me.
