Chris Avellone at Gamespot.com!

I think that you've more than made your point: you hate Chris Avallone.

I also think that you're trying to incite flame wars...but that *could* just be me...

And you wonder why the world has religious fundamentalists... :D

 

Anyway, the Gamespot interview was slightly predictable. The interview at NMA was way more fun reading.

Mr. Avellone graces the pages of Gamespot in their feature-of-the-week "Everything is possible: Inside the Minds of Gaming's Master Storytellers"

Well ... that's interesting. I now know why I've played every game a couple of the writers have created, and NONE produced by one of the interviewees in particular.

 

But at least the article answered one question I had: why certain people haven't chosen publishing fields rather than video games for their talents. I'm not complaining, mind you. I love my games, and some of the stories that have been told are irreplaceable. But from what I've seen, book publishers are a pretty desperate--or a pretty sad--lot any more.

 

Maybe it also sort of explained why Jane Jensen's novelization of the GK series was an abomination. Sigh.

 

Keep writing, Mr. Avellone; and keep publishing for PC.

Be careful with irony... It seldom goes through to the one you point it at...

 

BTW, I can understand why Star Wars fans are upset with MCA's writing. It is against nature to have a multilayered and ambigious story when it comes to Star Wars. Characters that aren't obvious clich
