Raithe

It's possible I might have been playing too much New Vegas of late. I had somewhat odd dreams of chasing an old girlfriend around some post-apocalyptic city and always just missing her whenever I arrived somewhere.... The morning start has been groggy as all get out. And the grey skies and scattering rain isn't helping any.

I have to admit the whole non-kickstarter thing was something that had me wary. That and the whole "Oh yeah, if you want your money back in case we don't reach our goal, y ou have to tick an extra option and you still won't get all your money back...." Maybe now I'll pledge something. Well, in a few weeks when I hopefully have some free money again. I still need to be able to buy some groceries soon after supporting PE..

I do, I need to talk to him about sorting out supplies for Fort McCarron. And Fitz is the proprietor of the Grub n Gulp, or whatever that place is called.

Must admit to getting a little annoyed with one bit. It is now impossible for me to go to the Gap n Gulp, without a squad of Legion Assassin's spawning and killing Fitz. No matter which direction I try to arrive in, whether I fast travel or not, They spawn, Fitz is in the wrong place, they open fire, and he's dead before I can even shoot one of the bloody bunch.

Heh, that lets you know how long it's been since i last played a complete game of FONV...

So the other important question.. is it a good idea to actually finish the main games story before doing Lonesome Road? How much effect does it have on Lonesome Road's ending if you start it before the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam?

I think chronologically speaking, Lonesome Road should be played last.. I went through Honest Hearts, Dead Money, then Old World Blues.. am going to go for Lonesome Road next..

Ah, but he's an English Conspiracy Nut.. You never know how an American jury will react. Too many hollywood movies with Brits as the bad guys.. I have to admit, I've known a few folks from the States who are quite schizophrenic in how they view England... One moment they're treating it all as "charming, traditional, that lovely queen" and the next its all "Rahr! Independance! Freedom! Evil England!" It can be quite bizarre

Heh, what would have been amusing is to have the webcam up and running this morning to catch folks staggering in...

Oh and for those who wanted to peruse it, Twitch will have the whole thing up for watching for a little bit longer. http://www.twitch.tv...ian/b/335806140 Edit: I have to admit, I'm half tempted to send a bottle of vodka to the Obsidian offices when I get some free budget with a "Compliments on the repeated Wooooo-ing that broke headphones" in a few weeks..

Roberts did some statement about he wants even "less of a barrier" between the fans and him which is why he didn't go with kickstarter and set up their own pledge area.

One of the points they make is that unless you tick a specific option, you won't get your money back even if they fail to make the goal. If you tick the option, you'll get the money back, minus handling fees.. so I'm guessing they take the money straight away or some such?

The simple things of small programs to reverse strings or more complicated type of learning projects?

There was a fair few people in just the Twitch stream, and then there was the Ustream and kickstarter comments.. so at the rapid pace they were flying by I imagine it was fairly hard to focus on many. Which unfortunately left the mass repeats of "greenshirtgirl" swamp over. There was a certain degree of comedy to some of them, but when you just had hammering of "its not a party unless there are boobs!" it did make you want to slap people. Especially when serious or interesting questions got dissapeared in the morass. Although with Twitch having put it up on the main page apparently, there seemed to be a number of folk who had no idea what Project Eternity was turning up in the stream and asking random comments about what it was, and what was going on and why were we watching people get drunk. It's kind of a shame there weren't any moderation to filter it all, even if the majority was taken with a grain of salt and in the name of general good humour. Edit: The amusing thing would be if they turned the cameras on this morning and recorded just what state everyone is in when they stagger through the offices when they turn up....

Well it hit 2am here. Of course, I decided to say sod it to buying groceries this weekend and up my pledge in the last minute. Then with 10 seconds to go realised I hadn't included the "postage" fee on top so had to suddenly rush back in to do that....

And I'm going with the headphones.. As they start up... The Final Countdown...

..Do you get the feeling "greenshirtgirl" just might become the new office nickname? And good gawd, Avellone is seriously on the way to a happy drunk.

heh, and then the drunken kareoke kills the mic for about 5 minutes..

It's both amusing and kind of creepy the amount of love that green shirt girl (nicole) is getting from the crowd....

I have to say "Freeside Open" and "The Strip Open" are damn nice to put in for a fresh game...

I think part of the fuss was how the UK viewed it purely as a "Computer Crime" while the US was lobbying to stress the "Terrorist" nature of it since it was the Pentagon.

And you've been missing the experience of watching the Obsidian team drink copious bottles of vodka live...

Yeah, I'm on Twitch as Ehtiar. And Chris' sudden shock at 3.8 and the words out of his mouth.. right before realising Feargus' daughter was on the other side of the room..
