Matt Chat Thread

I missed a few shows, but I watched this last one. It was very entertaining and interesting. Guido is such a cool guy. Good job on the video.

Matt on Wizardry 8

Oh wow, it's the LORD guy:



How many of you have heard of it?

 

[J_C]

Never heared of the guy, neither of his games. So this interview didn't interest me much.

Dink Smallwood is a Citizen Kane of video games.

He's talking about some interesting stuff, even though The Great Dink Smallwood is not tackled here yet. It's also funny how this guy is even more awkward then Matt.

 

[Sceptic]

Darth Roxor should be interested in this one.

 

[Kalin]

Awesome episode, might be the best one yet.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

I didn't know that the dude that made Dink Smallwood is so cute and cool :D . He reminds me one of my acquaintances from high school times. Very similar dude. Sadly, he got eaten by a shitty supermarket job :/ . *sigh*

Neither of them is awkward.

I didn't realize LORD had graphics. I thought it was just a series of rooms. Am I thinking of something else?

Dink Smallwood is a Citizen Kane of video games.

A real mature CRPG that touches important issues like fire hazard precaution and domestic abuse.

Not a Matt Chat episode, but might be interesting. Matt's cRPG history from the very beginning.

it’s one of only a handful of CRPGs from that era that I still find engrossing enough to play today.

What a casual Matt have become.

Dink motherfuckin's Smallwood.

What a great bad game.

Just look at this:

Spoiler

Conan in tights, blood on a sword, explosions and everything.

Matt gets a bit passive aggressive about his lack of YouTube viewership: http://mattchat.us/?p=512

To be fair, it is mind blowing that his average viewcount is only around 2500. Really, with all those interviews with game developers, and retrospectives about classic games? When some dork with a shitty let's play can gather 10 times more? Fuck that! He really deserves more.

I don't think that the problem is with the videos, I think they are good material. Is there really such a low demand for videos about classic games and legendery developers?

Yes.

 

[Infinitron]

Here's thing about Matt's videos, beyond their sheer nostalgic nerdiness:

1) They're very long.
2) He works as an archivist or a collector, not as a news reporter. Once he's done a series of interviews with somebody, he doesn't talk to them again if they're doing something new in their career, etc.

That limits his appeal even further.

 

[Destroid]

His interviews are great, but I don't find the retrospectives at all interesting.

I think I just landed the most famous guest in the history of matt chat.

Who could it be? Place your bets!

 

[octavius]

Sid Meier.

 

[Jarpie]

Peter Molyneux.

 

[deuxhero]

I'm going to aim high and say Nolan Bushnell. Prob the only "household name" in game creation that isn't Japanese (Sid Meier is largely known by the general public for sticking his name on the product itself).
