He mentioned he wanted to interview those two but they weren't up for it. I doubt he'll be touching the game till then.

This episode features an interview with star game designer and author Bruce Nesmith. Bruce's credits include Skyrim, Oblivion, Ravenloft: Realm of Terror, and the Dragonstrike boardgame just to name a few! He's also authored a new novel about Loki. We also take a look at his 1980 procedurally-generated Dragons computer game. You definitely don't want to miss this one!

He didn't even steal the platter in the census room.

This episode features an interview with Coach Happy Keller, EA sports pioneer and all-round groovy dude. If you like Madden, PGA Tour Golf, Bill Walsh College Football, etc., you can't miss this. Even if you're not into sports titles, though, there's plenty of great content and insights here. Don't miss it!

Matt Chat had some good conversations. I feel bad that he never got more attention, looking now his view counts are pretty low. Also realized i wasn't subbed to him at the moment lawls.

His views are very guest dependent, which I think makes sense, given the focus of his show. John Romero is obviously going to get more views than Pierre Begue. At any rate, I hope he realizes that his show has value beyond the immediate views. His 500 or so episodes document a niche corner of history that no one was documenting in the same way, so I think they will have staying power beyond your typical games podcast.

Matt is covering a niche within a niche.

so I think they will have staying power beyond your typical games podcast.

Absolutely.

Matt doesn't have time to edit his interviews into 20-25 minute episodes anymore. Maybe that works for the podcast generation but not for me. I can't newspost this!

So this is Infy's kryptonite.

4.20 hours of encasing me!

This episode features the great George MacDonald, creator of Champions RPG and producer on many hit CRPG titles for SSI and others, including the epic gold AND black box series!

 

[MicoSelva]

Those SSI guys interviews are always a treat.

Sometimes I cringe watching Matt and his guests stumble around and just take a break and watch the rest later.

This is an interview with Slava, the designer of Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG. Slava is a straight-shooter who is quite frank about what he likes and doesn't shy away from criticism. There are great insights here for anyone thinking about making (or playing) indie CRPGs, crowdfunding strategies, and more.

Did he ever interview anyone who worked on the Buck Rogers goldbox games?

This was a really good interview. Overall I really like Matt. Yes he's not a good interviewer and can be awkward at times but he lets the guest talk which is key.

It's pretty crazy to me that he's actually an English professor. He just doesn't seem like that type, seems more like someone that runs a comic book or game store.

Also, ironically it seems like he sucks at crpgs.

Matt is doing Youtube shorts now.

Fallout 2 was a mass marketed product, I have no idea what he's smoking. It only trailed Diablo and Baldur's Gate in sales, which were the video game equivalent of blockbusters. If anything, Fallout 2 was likely more popular relative to audience size than Fallout 3 was.

If he wanted to say Fallout, then I'd agree.
