If that were true marvel capeshit would be engaging, too. But it's not.

Special chosen one heritage is a tired plot device. It's pretty fucking close to the bottom of the barrel.

You're being overly brutal, my friend, but I can see your point.

I agree that the 'special superpowered chosen one' plot device is located pretty close to the bottom of the barrel.

But if one's taste is located at the very bottom, it does feel engaging and intriguing.

Ohhh yeaaah, chosen one bad. Case in point: PST, BG, Dark Souls, Kotor are all shit games. Edgy! You're so edgy, wow, like House MD. All girls will want you. Just keep on with your nasal whining and you'll absolutely see a girl's pussy some day, I'm sure.

It wasn't 20-30 years ago.

Yes, they are.

You're just being weird at this point.

In this third segment, the great Winston Douglas Wood chats about the final Phantasie games. We chat about some of the more intriguing mechanics such as limb loss and parents for your characters. We also talk about the development of Phantasie IV in Japan and why it wasn't released in the US. Finally, we chat about Star Command and its relationship (or lack thereof) to SSI's other SF games such as Buck Rogers.

 

[Infinitron]

Winston has never actually played Phantasie IV!

One more episode left. Matt will be recording the interview with Brian Heins tomorrow.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

One more episode left.

Looking forward to that episode, because it's something that Codex (unfortunately) missed in the interview with Toshio Sato and Mr. Wood.

When you accidentally make your test streams public:

 

[Boleskine]

Matt has those shifty eyes.

It's funny how Matt has the exact same type of beard that I have.

Finally, this episode is out.

 

[Infinitron]

About fucking time.

Brian Heins next week.

The Outer Worlds - now on Matt Chat and therefore a classic:

This episode is the first of a 3-part series of interviews with Brian Heins. Project Director of Obsidian. In this segment we chat about The Outer Worlds, focusing on its setting and what's innovative about its CRPG mechanics.

 

[Infinitron]

Brian says he's the "content director" on an unannounced project that won't be revealed for a couple of years. A "large RPG", currently early in preproduction with a small team.

Cut flaw from The Outer Worlds: If you rejected taking a flaw three times in a row, the game would have given you the Narcissism flaw. He seems to hint that something like that might be added back in an expansion.

He's a bright guy, fun interview.

Matt moderates a panel at Neal Hallford's LockDownCon:

12:00 PM - The Golden Age of Computer Gaming

[Boleskine]

In this episode Brian and I finish up with The Outer Worlds before moving onto Tyranny and taking some questions sent in by some of the dirtiest rats I ever took an ax to.

 

[Infinitron]

Now Matt says there might be two more episodes left.

And the panels will be back, but I'm editing them down into individual panel vids so that it's easier for people to find what they're interested in. I'll begin reposting them a bit at a time between now and when we start doing our monthly LockDownCon chats in August.

Did anyone watch the Matt panel while it was available at that link?

 

[Infinitron]

Ooh:

 

[Infinitron]

Final episode:

Brian Heins returns to talk about Tyranny, the ups and downs of crowdfunding, comedy in games, and of course, South Park: Stick of Truth.

 

[Infinitron]

Hmmm, Matt sounds like he doesn't have his next interview locked in yet.

Oh:
