Garrulous Glaahk macdude22 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Was digging through old MacAddict's while home for the holidays and found this gem in the 13th issue of MacAddict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Blast from the past. Those crazy 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 There you have it -- BoE was made because JV didn't have the creative juices to make a full-length game. Was third-party content part of the original plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Well, transcribing it would take way too much time, but if you own a scanner, we'd all appreciate you posting the images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Seeing as I am unable to actually read the article, I guess that all I can do is comment on the picture, so I'll say that 90's Jeff looks almost identical to 2010 Jeff, but with longer hair. Also, it is a wonderful testament to the powers of stereotyping that had you shown me just that picture, I would have been able to guess that that person was a Mac user in a heartbeat.

Hatchling Cockatrice ex post slarto Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The real question is whether from just that picture you could guess that the person had gone to Harvey Mudd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Eh, maybe not Harvey Mudd, but he definitely looks like a 90's college geek to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was digging through stuff in storage (aka mom's) that I hadn't even looked at since I went off to college in '01. Now that I have a house I was trying to see what goodies I had back home, unfortunately our basement seeps and I won't be getting it fixed for at least a year so I left everything back home. I will be back over Christmas, I'll grab that issue and scan the articles as a Holiday gift to you all. Cheers, -alex- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 You old people didn't seriously think that hair style was good, did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It's not the hair that's important, it's the beard. Actually, once you consider the beard, it's surprising that AvernumScript hasn't done better.

Of course they are, and it makes perfect sense. Exile III would have been the most recent game at the time of this interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Tirien Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It also looks like he mentions Avernum, since hes mentioning 3d in the bottom right corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Don't worry, Jeff's next remake of Geneforge will be like a Bioware title, but in medieval times instead of a corrupt and incompetent space-republic/oligarchy! The working title is "Drakon Age", but that needs a little work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Sweet, thanks!

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Sadly, at the time of writing Jeff was only a few games away from omitting GIFTS from Geneforge. —Alorael, who thinks they would have made a much more fitting easter egg creation than ornks.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Should there ever be a Geneforge remake, perhaps he will rectify that omission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
