Well, if it's true that Kojima really wants to get out of MGS and make something else for a change, I suppose this would be a genius way to alienate the half of your fanbase who've been masturbatingly furiously to Hayter's raspy voice without making it glaringly obvious to your producers what you're doing.

Mmmmm, raspy voice. I'll be in my bunk.

Depends. Some of these guys have contracts to do certain voices. Like that guy what does Mario will probably be voicing Mario for the rest of his natural life and then some. We don't know the details though. He may just have expected to get it because he's the guy.

Profoundly sad to see Hayter gone for certain. His voice was iconic for that character, and I really liked that character. It'd be like removing Nolan North from Uncharted.

You're all missing the point. No site can cover 100% of the relevant stuff that's going on in the world unless they went to just be regurgitating what everyone else is posting. Jeff has said before that GB would be about stuff that interest them and the community instead of just pointing to stuff that's already out.

Double Fine gets the coverage it has got because the community likes the stand-out personalities there, this being a personality-driven website after all, and because they're literally across the street so you don't have to set the world on fire to get a game demoed.

edit That said, this kickstarter in specific is worth bringing up because of the ties to DFA which made more people aware of kickstarter to begin with, and that fact that it seems to be repeating the massive surge of funders that project had.

If there's one person I don't mind throwing money at, it's BRA:D MUIR.

They really want that XCOM brand in there, eh?

Good for you.

I skimmed through some reviews, and it seemed most of them were bothered by bugs that may or may not be there now. Is the Steam release worth trying out?

And how does the thing play? It looks like it's trying to be a Total War game.

You're confusing Ron Gilbert with Tim Schafer. Ron was never part of the DF Adventure.

This isn't a spur of the moment decision or based on how the Cave fared.

I can't remember if it was a 2011 bombcast or somewhere else, but you've said here before that Gilbert was talking with Schafer when Ron mentioned brought up his ideas for the Cave. Schafer offered him a place to hang and a team to help him make the game. Almost verbatim.

I guess we didn't read a lot into it at the time, but it's clear in aftersight that their agreement was for Gilbert to borrow Double Fine horsepower and then be free to do whatever he wanted to do afterwards.
