Wasteland 2 update: screenshot, shirts and production

WorstUsernameEver

But best title ever!
The folks at inXile have fired up a new Wasteland 2's production update over at Kickstarter, which includes the finalized t-shirt designs (t-shirts were a reward included in some reward tiers for the Kickstarter campaign, in case you don't remember), a new screenshot with lighting straight out of an action movie from the late 80s/early 90s, and a write-up on the latest progress made with production.

Here's a snip:<blockquote>Wally…

Ahoy there, weary traveler! This is Werewolf Wally, howlin' at you from radio station KPOW in heart of downtown Damonta! Are you tired? Hungry? Lost in the trackless reaches of the wastes? Then listen to this message from the Damonta Chamber of Commerce, and point your tired tootsies toward the friendliest little town in Arizona.

Damonta has everything a weary traveler could wish for, motel, bar, garage, diner, fresh water, scenic attractions, the best oldies station in Arizona, and the biggest scavenging center in the west!

Our little town grew up in the ruins of an old military facility known as the DAvis-MONThAn Air Force Base - hence the name - and that base is the secret of our vibrant economy. Its big old airplane graveyard is a magnet for scavengers and scrap-metal merchants from all over, and the tech we've taken from all those old planes, robots and buildings has given the town the highest standard of living in Arizona. Ever heard of air conditioning, folks? Well, we got it, and you won't believe how good it feels.

Trade here in Damonta is a winter occupation, as radiation clouds seal off the town from most of its neighbors in the hot summer months, but even in the summer there is plenty to do here in the garden spot of the east. Scavenging goes on year round, there's always a shin-dig happening at the Fly-By Nightclub, and locals and tourists alike often visit the airplane graveyard just to look at the soaring skeletons of those old war-birds and the rusting hulks of those scary-looking robots.

Heh heh. Don't worry, folks, they're perfectly safe. Haven't moved in years.

And "perfectly safe" pretty much sums up all of Damonta, too. If you're here for trade, tourism, or just looking to settle down, remember, Damonta is the place to be! Tell 'em Werewolf Wally sent you! Till next time…</blockquote>And of course, here's the screenshot:

This brings back unpleasant memories. :?

Screenie's nice, though that RPG seems a little overlarge.

I think weapons in general are larger than they'd normally be because the perspective can be fairly zoomed out and you want to be able to recognize them at first glance. Wasteland 2 is a fairly cartoony game in places too from what I can see (in line with the first title), so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb IMO.

Yep.

I know rite :D

Well he was in the video already. But still warms my heart.

Back when inXile put up that poll for the bots from the original, I was like "Slicer dicer better make it!" to Matt Findley and he was like "consider it done, he's in!"

Of course that was p superfluous since Slicey won that poll anyway.

at the end they could test the Dicer on Tony even.

Wolfman Jack was a real dude, actually. He was really famous in the states because he ran the first syndicated rock show.

You perhaps think I'm dumb? :p

I know the reference but thanks.
The issue is that reference was already used in Fallout 3, and in a big way.
So to put it back on W2 looks like a huge lack of imagination.
Moreover W2 is a bit the antithesis of F3, that did not help.
 
Well, Wasteland is a lolzy game. If you expect there to be no lolz, then you are a little wrong.
 
you know whats cool? If people would remove youtube links if they quote someone or replacing it with a link leading to the youtube page.

Now I see why quote pyramids are not very ... popular.

I expect a lot of lolz, just not the exact same lolz already used in a"bad" game happening roughly in the same kind of setting.

Just because something bad uses a reference, that mean the reference is taboo now?
Don't even want to go there.
It isn't worth it, no big deal in the end, just something awkward and unimaginative from InXile IMO.
In fact at this point i will code an easter egg making Werewolf Wally say something about fighting the good fight, would be a good trolling.
Anyway i think there are more important things, like the need of a Coca Cola reference in W2, would be lot of lolz, but how to call it ?
