Inside the Vault: Eric Beaumont, also toys

[Brother None]

Obsidian senior designer Eric Beaumont is next for an Inside the Vault. Cryptic hints!<blockquote>Anything else you’d like to share?

Fallout: New Vegas. North-northwest. Wind-Brahmin. That’s all I’m going to say.</blockquote>Also, Todd Howard turned, uh, an age, and got a custom-made Vault Dweller.

Oh, hello, rock bottom. Good to meet you. A very nice doll... uh... action figure you got there. I wonder how many people will want it.

 

[C2B]

I went straight to work as one of the four designers on an action-role-playing game called Nox.

I really liked Nox. For a large while it was the only decent diablo clone around.

Nox is freaking awesome.

If it had a Pipboy 2000 I would be all over that dol.... action figure.

Wonder if that cryptic comment has anything to do with North by Northwest.

 

[Deimos]

Cool gift. AK-74 and face showing IN<4.

I know. But fans may start wanting Fallout 3 themed toys after seeing this.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

so what is the "rock bottom" comment about? if you were a developer of a game you wouldn't want something like that for your birthday? i think Todd's a bit of a doof and a horrible developer but it's a pretty cool birthday present regardless.

 

[Leon]

Wind-Brahmin.

Uh.

 

[Brother None]

It's a farting brahmin.

It's a tribute to the comedic level of Fallout 3.

 

[respatex]

Jet maybe? Brahmin + wind? (= fart haha...)

True. I just get a bad taste in my mouth every time i see something turned in to a toy.

I'm ordering a Khan FurSainty action figure my next birthday. Complete with several totally irrelevant action phrases such as;

" "

"Oh great, another one...."

"The way you handle my plastic appendages displeases me greatly."

"There's a snake in my boots!"

 

[Faceless Stranger]

"There's a snake in my boots!"

One snake for 2 boots? Must be made in China

 

[Expresate]

"There's a snake in my boots!"

You seem to have missed the reference. Unless you were joking. Damn internet.

Toy Story?

 

[Blackened]

Hey, I liked Nox too. Hmm, I thought that Fallout fans wouldn't like this game. I loved it. Played it with all the three characters.

 

[Makagulfazel]

True.

OH! I thought you were calling the figurine "Rock-bottom" 'cause, you know, there's a rock at the bottom of it. Umm...

It's a tribute to the comedic level of Fallout 3.

HaHA! /Phil Sebben

 

[K.C. Cool]

Eric Beaumont seems like a pretty cool guy. Stories like his give me some more confidence about the industry.

John Mallamas does some great work. I like how he takes an idea and puts his own twist on the models, like the power armor here: http://www.angelfire.com/mech/jinsaotome/JinsDangerousToys/Fallout3Legends.html
