Well, you get the point, right?

lucasrizoli commented on the blog post Irrational Interviews Episode 3: Kieron Gillen Good stuff. I like that you kept in the " Honey, I'm doing a podcast." I don't mean to whine, but I feel that the Irrational Interviews are very fast, as if everyone in them speaks more quickly or they are cut to be tighter than, say, episodes of Irrational Behavior. (Kieron's pretty speedy on [...]

lucasrizoli commented on the blog post Irrational Interviews Episode 2: Brian Michael Bendis Sometime, it might be interesting to hear a back-and-forth between Levine & Elliott and a writer or designer that is quite different in style or in her goals. The interviews so far have been good listening, but it couldn't hurt to have a little more argument, a little less adulation. Thanks for taking the time [...]

lucasrizoli commented on the blog post From the Vault - The Long Lost System Shock 2 Sketchbook

These sketches, particularly the one of the pipe-wielding Hybrid, bring System Shock 2 and BioShock a little more closely together, to me, at least. I find it easier to see a resemblance in sketches such as these than in the in-game polygonal models.

Thanks for answering. I assumed the UI work is not so specialized, and so wondered why the title would emphasize the coding aspect and not the think-of-the-user design aspect of the work.
Are there dedicated UI designers and artists? To what extent does your work overlap or communicate with, say, that of gameplay programmers and [...]

Man, I’d like to hear more about the UI work Kate does, why she’s a “programmer” and not a UI “designer,” and what her opinion may be of “Dominion: Alchemy” and “Intrigue”. (I bought “Seaside” and can’t decide which expansion to go for next.)

Good episode. I’m surprised by Shawn Elliott’s restraint in this episode: he’d mock this sort of intense dorkiness all the time on GFW Radio. (He hasn’t gone 180° on it—”That stuff’s for nerds,”—maybe only 120°.)
This podcast is great. I like the storytelling, the personal angle to it. Keep it up.

Man, I expected “dog in a wheelchair” to come up in the quick list of past jobs. What restraint.

lucasrizoli commented on the blog post Five Cut Features

The idea of bio-mechanical hybrids is pretty interesting. It makes me think of David Cronenberg’s movies, particularly ExistenZ and Videodrome.
I also find it interesting that each of these ideas has something to do with the issue of communicating ideas to players.
The quick weapon degradation wasn’t explained away sufficiently. There was no clear way to let [...]
