Sawyer's on a diet of soya lattes and cum. Meanwhile, MCA wrestles Tim Schaffer while on the con circuit.

Suddenly I found conversation in this thread to be extremely irritating.
People, why it feels like we are on Beetles funeral?
Show a little optimism, even if it mean to pull it out of your asses, because now you sound like robots.

The boring (Sawyer) won versus the creative (Avellone) at Obsidian, so they kicked him out. Our last hope is Tim Cain.

New Vegas would have been a better game if Avellone headed it like Feargus promised him back in the day.

I feel like Avellone would probably beat Sawyer into a bloody pulp in a fight just by pushing him off-balance all the time.

When it comes to creating lore and tying it together, Avellone has been writing short fiction, and some key learnings have come from that. "I realized that short stories are fine, but trying to write novels… I don't understand how novelists do it," he said. "There's a lot of moving parts and very long prose work. The first novel I tried to write, I'm still stuck on the last six chapters, thinking 'how do I tie all this stuff together?'"
Goddammit that's the most interesting part of this.

Hey, Chris Avellone , if you can't really tie it all together, just do it the Neal Stephenson way and... don't.

And then publish the damn book !
