Against the Chris Avellone personality cult

[Wayward Son]

For you Chris...

From my deepest heart.

Whatcha got against MCA?

 

[jaydee2k]

He's wasting his fucking talent with his shower avoiding freelancing life. "Mimimi I don't wanna be a lead writer at Obsidian"
He lost it after Kotor 2. His 2 POE companions felt so off in this game it was not even funny anymore. It's over.
I'm not sure what we can expect from him at this point but surely not PST level of writing in any of his future "projects"
like all his cocksucking fanboys here want to believe. He's to busy with sucking Todds. Deal with it.

 

[Zakhad]

I believe Kant died a virgin too.

Nah, he probably didn't. Had an affair. there's a bunch of literary allusions to it in his letters, from memory. The myth about doing the same thing each day is also an exaggeration that somehow found it's way into a bunch of apparently respectable books.

Hello, Durance.

Which one of you guys wrote this?

It was you, wasn't it.

Two words: Dean Domino

MCA is a pretty phenomenal designer, in everything but game mechanics, but the Codex worships him like a religious symbol. Instead we should worship Sawyer! Sawyer is the literal GOD. IWD3 please!

 

[Quillon]

A fault of personality I noticed in the recent shitstorm that MCA's disclosing things about his former colleagues & maybe friends that they entrusted him to be part of, to further his own end, unregarding any potential repercussions for them.

Things like "Efens hates Gonzalez" & "Sawyer thinks Parker's dumb".

I'm not really slamming Avellone, but Steve Meretzky is/was a better game writer:

BTW, the Zork choose-your-own-adventure books he wrote are exceptionally good.

It wasn't "Sawyer thinks he's dumb" it was "Sawyer stopped paying attention to his demands and Parker never noticed."

Well for starters he lives in California, I'm not sure how many people here have been in Cali but probably 95% of people in that entire state are fucked in the head.




That being said, in regards to the video game/movie/music industry pretty much all those people are completely retarded and I and no one should care about their opinions. If their work happens to entertain me so be it but most of them are degenerates and perverts.

Ahh I used to own The Forces of Krill and read the shit out of it. I didn't realize it was written by the game designer. of my childhood.

Went to cali(LA, specifically) on a business-related trip a few years ago. After we landed they had another employee pick me up at the airport, we stopped at a burger place(in and out I think?) and nobody there spoke English. She had to order for me, everyone was a brown midget that kept looking at me, felt incredibly uncomfortable. It was basically the real life version of the 'la goblina' meme.

I wish they'd just secede already.

 

[Glaucon]

As far as I can tell he's a conventional liberal, but like others have said, his politics aren't discernible through his writing.

his politics are discernible through his writing, he is pure liberal corruption of everything that is good. he just doesn't hammer you in the head with them like biowhore

He let me put degenerates on a cross.

Most beaners don't speak spanish either. It's like the equivalent of Jamaicans or other africans butchering English.

Hello, Durance.

I never had the nerve to play PoE to the end, what is Durance's schtick exactly?

At the place where it all began, he reunites with his long lost mortality. It has transcended and become corporeal. They ended up "merging" in my playthrough and it was kinda gay tbh lol

Uh so he's just TNO as an NPC?

No I am pulling your fedora. Like you pulled mine bro. As if you didn't finish PoE. Twice. We all did, right?

 

[2house2fly]

Durance isn't TNO, he's Ulysses. He appears intimidating but is actually a shell of a man, having been disfigured both inside and outside after a big battle which ended in a cataclysmic explosion. He seeks to test the player character through struggle, but ends up being himself changed as a result of your interactions
