Lived Through the Heat Death
Fallout Bible wizard and former BIS member Chris Avellone, now working in Obsidian studios, has been featured in the AD Personam series of interviews on RPGDot. Here`s a zip:
<blockquote> My job is apparently to grow older, but at least I'm not as old as Tim Cain, who, according to reports, breathes out a cloud of mummy dust every time he talks. I wanted to do computer RPGs ever since I saw one of my friends playing Bard's Tale 2 on his Commodore. I went to college at William and Mary where I got a piece of paper that said I have a bachelor's degree in English. I started writing a bunch of short stories and RPG material after that, some of which got published. Most of it didn't. It was enough to get me hired at Interplay, and I've been here ever since. I think it's been six or seven years. Maybe it's eight. I've worked on Starfleet Academy, Die by the Sword, Conquest of the New World, Red Asphalt, Planescape: Torment, Fallout 2, Icewind Dale 1, Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter, Icewind Dale: Trials of the Luremaster, Icewind Dale 2, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (with Snowblind Studios), and Lionheart (with Reflexive Entertainment). There's been other projects, too, I'm sure, but they never saw the light of day. My Mom still isn't exactly clear on what I do on a day-to-day basis, and neither am I. </blockquote>
Remember to keep in touch MCA!
 
The College of William And Mary In Virginia?

The one that's been in "Title Nine" violation for 30 years?
Where one paid for a "laundry service" that did not exist so some hulking rascal from New Jersey could get a 100% free ride?

It's cross town rival "Eastern State" is one of the stellar regional mental hospitals of "The Commonwealth".

Was a GDI (God Damned Independent) a.k.a. NOT Frat.
Did four years in the old nurses dorms at James Blair Terrace.
Yes ol' 4too was a GDI at JBT (#42 and #43) when "Steely Dan" were young, and singing about taking the "Wolverine" from Annendale;
""OH, no, William and Mary won't do...""

When a great BIG IBM 360 lurked in the basement of the Math Building, terminals were those daisy wheel electric typewriters of Sherman tank streamline design. The big THANG was printing Playboy pin ups with the daisy wheels and not getting caught with chargeable computer time.

The APL was so anal-ly exacting, and tedious as punch cards, we prefered to number crunch our Physics labs with those new fangled Texas Instrument calculators
with the trig functions, 2 or 3 hundred dollars. My first Commadore was a (TI clone) calculator (with trig functions of course) that was one tenth the TI cost 3 or so years later.

Earned my "gentleman's C" in Liberal Arts and never looked back.
My class year's single distinction was allegedly the least Alumni contibutions in 3 hundread years of W + M history, or so they said.
Proud we were united in experience and self expression.

Always glad to see another Humanities Grad make good.

Hey, yeah, I'm near William and Mary. Recently visited it, as well.

You know, MCA never did answer my question about Ananias in the Den and whether he was supposed to be a reference to the biblical character struck dead for lying...

I s'pose w/MCA at OE now the FoB is a thing of the past.
