First Batman, now this. yea thats an awful lot. but nah, i do see this turning into a new trend & personally, i wouldnt mind it at all. it gives me some subtle insight to the characters & story.. lol i will forever remember, "Still curious who's Darcy's harassing, though and who the "MTang" address is - Maria Tang? Marla? Hell, could be Martin for all I know." ... hilarious!.. i later found out its a woman, Maria Tang. i havent looked up on all the characters yet. i dont wanna spoil everything for myself.

Niten_Ryu Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Great idea. Twitter is garbage for the RL people but it's like custom made for virtual characters Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.

fastpunk Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 You know, this Twitter feed idea is pretty good. I'm starting to like this Mike Thorton character. "We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing." - Oliver Wendell Holmes
Warren Bills Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 You know, this Twitter feed idea is pretty good. I'm starting to like this Mike Thorton character. yep true that.. i like how he calls everyone a douche, pokes fun at their names & jokes about Darcy being a sexual harasser.. my thorton might just be as sarcastic as his twitter.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted September 12, 2009 Author Posted September 12, 2009 Now tell Kotaku so you can actually get some advertising. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
AlphaPro Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 update this thing Avellone! build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day, but set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Warren Bills Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 yes.. i waited a week to find out what happens next after mikey's sexual harassment question towards darcy.

Baeus Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Avellone's at GDC Austin. What? He's not a Twitter addict tapping away feverishly every free second that he has?

kreese12 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Hmmm do you guys think maybe the last few Twits are perhaps hinting towards a delay announcement? (I'm referring to the last 3 posts about Mike getting sick.. ) Most of the Twits have been fairly nonsensical (and funny), so perhaps I'm reading to much into things.
Richman Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I was a bit more optimistic after reading the tweets yesterday; I thought "signing off on the release" implied a release date was imminent.
ironcreed Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I was a bit more optimistic after reading the tweets yesterday; I thought "signing off on the release" implied a release date was imminent. Hopefully you are right.
Sannom Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) Okay, I'm terrible at seeing irony and everything, but if THAT is not a jab at a recent "polemic" around Alpha Protocol, I don't know what it is : One doctor said my symptoms are "even less of an illness than the traditional version of the illness" - whatever that means. Okay, the previous entry is also a reference to the same thing! Edited September 24, 2009 by Sannom
Pop Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 In one of the dialogue screenies released there's a conversation you're apparently having with a grungey dude and one of the dialogue choices is "Virus". I'd assume that's what the sickness the twitter feed is referencing. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Nepenthe Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 That's just hysterical ;( You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
kreese12 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) Haha... lol ...! I didn't even connect the dots with those things. That's pretty funny. I'm going to have to bring my irony sensor into the mechanic's shop and have it checked out. Edit: Aw shucks. I hope "Looks like the initial level of tests were more challenging than the doctors thought, so medical's keeping me for another day." isn't a sneaky hint though that Sega wants to delay the game because they don't 'get' or recognize the greatness of Alpha Protocol though. If this is the case, for the love of humanity stay strong Obsidian and don't let any dumb-asses convince you that you need to change anything! You guys know good game design better than some product tester who may measure everything against the latest sales of Guitar Hero.... Edited September 24, 2009 by kreese12
Oblarg Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 "One doctor said my symptoms are "even less of an illness than the traditional version of the illness" - whatever that means."

Oner Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 ^I don't really get this one. "The evaluator said the features are even less RPG-ish than a traditional RPG"?

Gorth Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Lets compare snippets of info... Michael Foster, product evaluator, said AP felt barely RPG. Initial level too challenging for players. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
kreese12 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Well, on the positive side of things , trying to decipher what is going on with the game from insinuations sort of guess with the whole spy theme of the game, I guess
