Audience of Strangers

I swear I play this (the video, not the page, obv) to cheer me up on my lunch break.

Brian Fargo meeting with an executive for the hypothetical Big Ass Games, during his efforts to get a sequel to Wasteland made, at 3:08.

BAG Ex: Okay, let's talk about a few minor tweaks.

Fargo: Well, I don't want to stray too far from the original.

BAG Ex: Oh no no, these are just tiny modernizations, if you will. Take for instance, ah--we would like it to be a first person shooter.[1]

Fargo: Excuse me?

BAG Ex: And our numbers people, they tell me romantic vampires are very big right now, and we feel like they would seamlessly fit into the Wasteland world.

Fargo: Maybe we should do birds as well

BAG Ex: Oooh. Oh, that's good. I'm glad we're on the same sheet of music. What do you think the boots look like? Are they red? 'Cause red is really big. Are you seeing red?

Fargo: I'm definitely seeing red.

But yeah! It looks like Wasteland 2 is a go. I am sort of ridiculously happy about this. Fallout was where and why I started playing computer games, and the idea that there's going to be a sequel to the inspirational prequel is making me grin.

I hope they manage to make the October 2013 deadline. I also sort of hope they'll release it on the 23rd, but either way. :)
