In-game memorial for gold backers - a question
Well, you should probably die before you submit an in memoriam epitaph for yourself.

What you having for dinner tonight?
Tortilla chips and enough whiskey that I can't remember how much. Viva juventud!

Obsidian MMO?
As long as obyknven's influence is nonexistent, I have no concern.
- STEAM!

Sorry I was gone so long
Sorry, I think your rock could use some more pubes.

The Day The Music Died...
Show a little respect, huh? Tone it down a little, this is a funeral, not a bar mitzvah.

What are you playing now?
Super Robot Wars OG2nd: Dark Prison; the only game to date I've played where the protagonist was the final boss of the previous game in the series and for whom destroyed galaxies are collateral damage (as the protagonist.) Waiting for Walking Dead S2 to drop on Steam. You probably unconsciously blocked the hive out of your memory because of the Hive's seemingly endless supply of needlessly violent unsavory types.

Where Youtube is going
I'm only really bothered by the Google+ garbage and the way they've mangled commenting. I can't even reply to comments people make on my own videos anymore, so **** it, comment deleted.

Obsidian's (rumoured) next kickstarter, what would you want to see?
Cowboy Bebop? Super not-cyberpunk. Maybe you're thinking of Ghost in the Shell. I smell Mess Effect.

Volunteer voice actors?
That's a 100% successful method to make sure a game is remembered for its monumentally ****ty voicework.

Dual Class / Multi Class?
Are you sure about this? I thought gromires are unique to wizards, fighters would be able to buy a active talents, that is like magic. But this would be a single "spell". Grimoires have already been confirmed as the ultimate* crushing damage type weapon in P:E. PoE. Whatever. *Subjective opinion, if you can't appreciate the sublimity of bludgeoning the mightiest enemies to death with a really fat book, then you're missing something in your life.

New Kickstarter incoming
That is a bad idea and will always be a bad idea. The Doctor is a distinct character with a distinct, well-established personality. It varies somewhat with regenerations, but the fundamental fact is that the Doctor is not an everyman, a blank slate or a character that allows for player agency. The only way to make a faithful, respectful video game adaptation of Doctor Who is to have a series of non-interactive cutscenes with gameplay that consists of running down the same corridor several dozen times to pad out episode runtimes.

Turn-Based or Real Time
Aren't you just indicting yourself? You should have plead the fifth. All jokes aside, RTwP can be tedious, a drive can be tedious, reading can be tedious, etc. Tediousness isn't an inherent quality of TB combat systems. This newly emergent anti-turn-based combat movement should focus on the real offenders: tabletop/P&P RPGs/boardgames. You can't rest until Chess becomes RTS. A well-designed TB game is good. A poorly designed TB game is not good. A well-designed RTwP game is good. A poorly designed RTwP game is not good.

India criminalizes gay sex
"ctrl+f 'obyknven' 0 of 0" Well, this thread was a wash. Oh yeah, primitive third worlders (what you gonna do 'bout it, Hindustan? Well? Yeah, that's what I thought.) are primitive and morally/ethically bankrupt and all that jazz.

What are you playing now?
I need to install and run every game I own on Steam for 12 hours or however long it takes to get all the card "drops" allowed, since I haven't even played half of them for more than a few minutes before regretting buying them. I could probably make half my money back that way. Well, none of it since it's steam credit and that's not legal currency. But I digress.

What you did today
Biology final, pizza, pondered the origin of "unwise.exe" as the name for uninstall programs. Was someone just dicking around for fun back in the day? Was it some kind of malicious attempt to keep ignorant people from uninstalling their software? Etc. Bonus fun fact: "dicking," not censored by the naughty word filter. "****y," (i.e. arrogant, "roostery,") censored by the naughty word filter. "****y" is decidedly less offensive than "dicking." I was going to act with an inflated sense of self-worth as a result, but then I saw I'm a brown medalist in this competition.

InExile is plotting to ruin Torment by making it turn-based
Those people don't matter, the game is being made for the backers. Technically speaking, it's being made for the shareholders. InXile isn't a charity, after all. Also, I'd like to be able to do a ****y song-and-dance routine to taunt people, in turn-based form. That's ****y as in "arrogant," not ****y as in "possessing the qualities of feces." STAY CLASSY, NAUGHTY WORD FILTER.

What are you playing now?
For some reason I felt like playing Dragon Age: Origins but remembered the physical disc necessary for play is in a sealed box in my parents' attic. Then I saw it was on sale on Steam, but I didn't want to pay $7.50 for the "ultimate edition," so I undercut the market for those stupid Steam "trading cards" and still made more than enough credit to buy it. So, DAO. Moral of the story: Steam is full of mental deficients who will pay real money for nothing. Half of them Russians. Go figure. Whistle innocently while walking away. I'm always carrying my lantern.
