I should be doing hw said:
Because they had basically no idea about it themselves. Dave did a good job in the first episode because he had read some of that book, but the subsequent episode(s?) was just rushed with Dave having no new knowledge to go off so the whole thing ended up being a waste of time.

Dwarf Fortress can be the source of epic amazing stories. But you have to have a pretty deep understanding of the interface in order to find it. I'd love to see Dave spend several months getting used to the game and then revisiting it.

But I have a feeling it'd go down like this:
Dave: "My manically depressed woodcutter decided to hold a party in the dining hall, then went apeshit and murdered two other dwarves before he was taken down."
Vinnie: "I just see a bunch of red and symbols, ha ha ha."
Dave: "Yea, but if you go into this menu you can see that Rocky Derpahurr has lost a leg because of the fight."
Vinnie: "I still just see a bunch of red and symbols."

They should do Gnomoria instead. At least They'll have an idea of what is going on then.
 
man, I had a pretty long day at work (just under 12 hours. ugh) and I just got home and saw that RPCG starts in 13 minutes. sweet! Gonna chill out with Vinny and Dave.
 
For those who have played - Dave was saying it's a realtime adventure and that stuff was happening while you play. Can you ever break the game or get screwed over by taking too long in certain parts?

Also voxels are pretty dope.

It doesn't work that way. The real-time mechanic adds randomized events and changes certain aspects of the game for replayability. The player's choices will affect the path of the story in some ways, and the natures of certain characters are different in subsequent plays. It doesn't penalize you for taking your time, but doing some events out of order or talking to a person when you weren't supposed to yet may potentially lead you to a dead end. Saving often is necessary.
 
"That's racist." -Vinny Caravella

This game really looks solid still. I was just as surprised as Drew when the light from the fan actually changed the character model. Dang.

Ah, I see. That actually sounds pretty awesome, maybe I should hunt down a copy.

A fat guy in a robe floating around in a purple room full of trash and a dog who has a guy with dreads carrying a egg crate showing up to hang out. What the heck am I watching?
 
I remember reading about this in EDGE a few years back. Fascinating game. I never even knew it existed before reading their article, but if you'd have told me there was a Blade Runner game released in the 90s I'd have assumed it was some garbage cash-in, possibly for the 3DO.

Shame it'll never be re-released.

Fat guy is an engineer for Tyrell Corp who fucks around in his zero g play room all day, dreads guy is a replicant sent to kill him posing as delivery from a Jamaican restaurant. I loved that part of the game!

Did Vinny and Dave shoot the cook with the butcher knife or did they let him go?
