Carnivore was an '80s thrash/punk band and had mostly post-apocalyptic lyrics,

+Thermonuclear Warrior/Ground Zero Brooklyn and others(except those about eating pussy etc.)

Wouldn't really fit as a theme, lol.

"A bomb hits the city - all life instantly vaporized,
but I'm not so fortunate burning right before my eyes,
stumbling I trip over pieces of descending flesh,
leaving a pile of smoldering humanoid mess,
radiation, coming in waves,
leading me to, a nuclear grave!"

 

[Stelcio]

Are these too obvious?

 

[Blaine]

Brofist harvesting tip: I will always Brofist posts with 80s music embedded in them.

Some other ideas, not sure about costs though.

Spoken comic book style (shorter than the below maybe), probably not much cheaper than 3D if I was to guess though.



For something cheaper, just use still screen shots and add naration (there must be some decent audiobook readers or voice actors out there who wouldn't cost the earth, also a chance to change the style from the Perlman voice overs).

 

[agentorange]

Should be fmv.

I thought about them too. Such nice tracks, "Male Supremacy", "Armageddon", "World Wars III and IV". They have a very fitting photo too.

Nice, interesting to notice that Fargo himself works on the game, designing some of the levels.

I never see anyone mention Metallica when the subject of 80's metal bands comes up... probably because the greedy assholes would demand more than the cost of making the game.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Are we getting any updates soon? I swear, I feel kind of gypped. Especially compared to how frequent Eternity's getting them.

No, it's because it's like mentioning Star Wars when talking about scifi movies.

When he says imminent what does that mean? This weekend?

Today, I think.

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah I assume today. They probably just finished filming (I'll assume it's a video).

 

[Jack Dandy]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy

Spoiler

in b4 it's just another enemy concept art

Great, now they will be uploading it for a week.

 

[Sensuki]

They said they'd be talking about Inventory in the next update as well.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Still waiting here.

From W2 forum:

Update probably won't hit this (Memorial Day) Weekend.

 

[Kahlis]

It's because Commiefornia is a union state. Being paid by Obama to vacation as much as possible, forestall the announcement of further incline.

Damn you Fargo, I sure hope that update is worth it and not just another talk about crowdsourcing models and stuff.

 

[poetic codex]

....I sure hope that update is worth it and not just another talk about crowdsourcing models and stuff.

Anyone else tired of the whole "without you backers there would be no ...." spiel ? I mean at first everyone was excited including me, but to keep harping on it over and over makes it start to sound a bit disingenuous. Starting to sound like the very Man they want us to "stick it to."

@talharbash @brianfargo It's going to be a very small video update. Going to show of the inventory screen functionality. Around 1-2 minutes.

Chris Keenan ‏@rangerkeenan5h
@Darth_Trethon @brianfargo It will be earlier in the week.
