good and bad from Arcanum

Speaking of which, are we not overdue for another of Avellone's updates?  I feel like it has been nearly a month now...  And I just pray that it has a text component.

It's possible they had him go ahead and finish his playthrough, and they'll cut them up and edit them to release the rest of it to us in episodic format.

Ah.  Because I would very much like to see what he would end up voting for.  Or to hear what he really liked/disliked.  That would be epic.

He talked about it recently, in an interview (Chris did). He was saying that he really wanted to both fulfill the sheer "I'll totally play through this game, just because people want me to, and because it'll be fun times with the Let's Play recording and all and my shenanigans" aspect of it, AND put the playthrough to more constructive use by providing his commentary on the game's design.

 

He did hint at a couple of possibilities:

 

A) The idea that he might be actually done with playing through it, and that they'r simply editing all the footage up into segments for us to watch the rest of it, and...

 

B) That he MAY do some kind of supplemental video (even if it's just commentary on his own Let's Play footage) in which he's mainly constructive instead of just goofily playing the fame for funsies and for the fans' entertainment.

that would be something to see, i do like his comments and watching him tackle things for the first time as a game developer.  definitely more entertaining than him reading the manual.
