Not going to listen. Summarize. I can't into "pod"casts.

Jesus why? I stopped after a minute into the first one. Who would watch both? None of them are even remotely attractive, and there are no tits or ass to speak of.

I'm battling with my aversion to turn based games over this one. I do think it'll be awesome. And Civ II was awesome, and that was turn based.

And Wasteland was awesome, and that was turn-based. Hell, even Fallout was turn-based and that was awesome too.

Tried Fallout 1 and 2, didn't really get on with 'em. Liked FO3, though.

My brain just exploded. Can you please pay for damages (and a replacement)?

Wizardry will have lots of fun in the coming days.

4 nerdy chicks discussing fantasy/horror/sci-fi books with strong romance elements. Or maybe I got that backwards.

Anyway, it's nothing particularly interesting, save for the fact that they're far, far less annoying than expected. If they were discussing something I was actually interested in I'd probably watch it.

Clearly we must compete with them and make the Codex Cock Corner podcast.

Have each Codexer record themselves saying "CAWK"?

I'm up for it. I have a mic. DISCUSS!

I think, in a way, manuals killed the cRPG. It's amazing trying to play Planescape: Torment and realizing I actually have to read a book to figure out what to do, and not in a good way. Manuals are fundamentally unecessary, and possibly even detrimental to video games if developers rely on getting gamers to read instead of play (who doesn't want to start playing as soon as possible?).
Still, nostalgia is a powerful thing, and manuals CAN do interesting things (why not just make a game guide? I hate alt-tabbing out or using two computers to find, say, the code to a locker in Doom 3, or discovering I forgot to flip a switch, which is why I can't progress). I'd love to ship a game with one of those--maybe a design document, some insights into the design, art stuff... hm...

Kill it with fire.

Don't know why I'm putting this here (I didn't think it warranted a thread) but I thought it was interesting that today's WIkipedia featured article is Ultima Underworld. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_Underworld:_The_Stygian_Abyss

That is all, please carry on

I've come to a discovery, over time, which is that I play shooters differently than most people I know. I think that's why I love the genre so much more than others. They don't think about it as though they are actual people in an actual space who must keep moving, which is practically ALL I do when playing shooters. When watching others, I frequently feel myself going "why aren't you moving?!?!" It seems like a lot of good players tackle the genre the way I do, while the people who don't enjoy it/bad players... don't.

Actually though, this guy is a mixed bag. Some of his comments are spot on

@BrianFargo Also I recall you being the CEO/Founder of one of the largest Publishers in the 90s and descendant of the wealthy "Fargo" family

Brian Fargo's ancestor? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_G._Fargo

Cool if so, but that @Gahzcan guy trying to play that up as some kind of terrible secret is pure unadulterated dipshittery. IS THAT YOU INFINNY?

Terrible journalism:

http://venturebeat.com/2012/03/13/b...starter-campaign-raises-502000-plus-in-a-day/

The 1988 version of Wasteland was a post-apocalyptic role-playing game. It was a single-player game with lots of characters. After it came out, Interplay switched over to making Fallout games. But Fargo has wanted to make an online multiplayer version of Wasteland for the Internet, where large parties can come together and play. Fargo still has 34 days to go in his campaign, which set a $900,000 goal.

http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/03/wasteland-2-kickstarter/

The Kickstarter page went live yesterday and it has already received over 50% of its funding, largely thanks to 5 backers who have pledged $10,000 each so far

OH LOL WOW. I may suck at math, but at that time it was something like 750k in funding, and 5x10k is 50k, so that's not largely. HELLO UBERGIZMO

In BTE fashion, I must say I find that there's something inaccurate about that comment. Water can't be wet because it is liquid, right? I mean only things that are not liquid can get wet by liquids, right?
