If the gaming community can make this happen, my faith in humanity will never be in doubt again.

Edited out my lame joke for the real deal: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/03/30/obisidian-to-co-develop-wasteland-2-on-one-condition/ Holy shitballs! People, we have to make this happen!

Notch has a bad habit of tweeting every off the cuff thought that enters his head.

In 6 months Fargo is going to be ready for a standard publishing deal again. :D

The Wasteland 2 kickstarter campaign hasn't even finished yet... They haven't seen a dime of that money, and they won't until it's over. There is no time to chew up, because the schedule for the kickstarter doesn't end until mid-April.

It really seems like a lot of resources to spend on development for all of these personalized items. When you look at what is being offered from kickstarter, it seems like a bit much, IMO. I hope having to do all of these customized items for people doesn't end up burning in to time that...

I really like the Wasteland 2 logo. And yeah, I think post apocalyptic settings go well with a "wild west" vibe. That's one thing I always enjoyed about aspects of the Dark Tower novels.

I'll stop it when publishers stop flying reviewers out for a free vacation to do the reviews.

NV has sold 5 million copies. If that means less than a fucking metacritic score, then I don't see how anyone could want to work in this industry. In any other field of work, selling 5 million units of ANYTHING would be cause for a bonus. Not so in the corporate game development...

On the issue of housing, I don't have a problem with it. Let's just not get too tied to the idea of a "house". The car in Fallout 2 served the same function as a house, which at the end of the day is mostly about storage. I'd love to see something like the F2 car.

And now the other shoe drops. Apparently Obsidian isn't doing too hot atm, with a few stories floating around. Fallout New Vegas failed to get an 85 rating on Metacritic, which means Bethesda isn't obligated to give them a bonus and pay royalties for the game. They had to lay off a bunch...

Friends, that is music to my ears! If I'm dreaming, just let me sleep.

It's a done deal, folks! $901,806 as of this posting, and counting!!! I'm really really happy and amazed at the gaming community. I wasn't sure what the response would be like. If I was Fargo, I think I'd be too excited to sleep tonight. Best thing I've read on a webpage in a long...

I just happened to be checking the project site when the final 2 10,000 dollar packages sold within a minute of each other. 851k as of this posting! This is really going to happen, without a doubt!!! Met their goal in under 48 hours. But yes... PC gaming, and old school party...

$500,000 in roughly 12 hours. I'm very happy with the response in the gaming community.

At this rate they're easily going to get 50% of it in the first 24 hours!

Publishers should be taking notice, but given the current state of the games industry, they won't.

It's doing amazing! It went up 40,000 while I cooked and ate dinner. Stunning! This is looking like it's actually going to happen! **Edit** Holy crap, as I posted this, they got 2 10,000 donations back to back! So cool to see people with money stepping up to the plate.

For me I thought it was interesting hearing him talk about the cohesiveness of Interplay in those days. So rare. Even the marketing people "got it", when it came to the game. I still remember buying Fallout at Best Buy when it was brand spanking new, and the thing that grabbed me was...
