1997 - The Wasteland 2 project was released under the title Fallout to launch a separate series based on the setting of Wasteland
2002 - Lead writer of Fallout and Wasteland founds inXile Games
2003 - inXile acquires rights to Wasteland IPR
2007 - Facing bankruptcy, Interplay sells Fallout to Bethesda
2008 - Fallout 3 is released
2009 - Bethesda sues Interplay for copyright infringement for selling the Fallout Trilogy on Steam, and for not having full-scale development of Fallout Online underway (which it was). They lost.
2010 - Bethesda moves for an injunction on Interplay to stop production of Fallout Online. Denied.
2011 - Bethesda sues Mojang for naming his game "Scrolls", claiming that it infringes their Elder Scrolls IPR. They lose.
2012 - Bethesda agrees to pay $2 million to Interplay for rights to Fallout Online.
2012 - inXile announces development of Wasteland 2
2014 - Wasteland 2 is released
2016 - Having set the precedent that they think using part of a game's title in their title is trademark infringement, they use Wasteland - which DOES have very, very intimate ties to the Fallout IPR (unlike Scrolls with Elder Scrolls), to such a degree that it could feasibly be confused - in their title.

Just saying. They're that petty. It's cool to see inXile isn't.

Meh - I am not going to date/fact check all of that.

As it is - I am happy for the Wasteland Workshop DLC. Pimp my pads and such. Though I should invest in some charisma to get supply lines setup. I am a little tired of carting my junk.

Played some RL with @Gabehabe last night, it was a lot of fun.

Going to spend some time in Fallen Enchantress tonight. I love how the exit message. "Are you sure you'd like to exit. A few more turns couldn't hurt...."

[depricated]

I loved Fallen Enchantress.

I think it was the first Orion game, or maybe one of the old Civ games, that was like "Do you really want to leave this way cool game?"

A great TF2 done in nerf video! The sound of my flame thrower burning snipers is my jam!

I believe the whippersnappers are calling 'Rocket League' 'RL' now.

Diablo3 and Starcraft 2.. both things that should be on my list.

Let me teach you.

I feel like Blizzard has turned into more of a Light Flurry in the last 6 years or so.

[modi123_1]

"Light Flurry"?

[depricated]

sure, like if they were called Hurricane I'd say they were more of a Drizzle. Windstorm -> more of a Pleasant Breeze. etc.

Still resemble what it was, but lacking the intensity and substance it once had.

Granted this opinion is based entirely off of Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 - and as they were at their release. I hear both have been updated, and supposedly made more engaging.

[gabehabe]

I dunno about Diablo, but SC still has issues keeping new players. The learning curve is really steep so it puts most people off. LotV added some cool stuff to help ease players in though.

So for the last few years, I haven't been able to have my living room/game room, due to living situations.

Finally got my living room back, and set up all proper. So I was able to pull my games out of storage and start setting them up.



My collection seemed sort of light though, like stuff was missing... and sure enough, there were multiple Sega CD and Sega Saturn games not in my storage spot for them.

WTF...

So I go through them to see what was missing, and my favourite Sega Saturn game was gone. It was a complete in box copy of 'Panzer Dragoon Saga' I got for 60 bucks back in 99'.

So I'm like... OK, it's all right, I know the games rare... but when you checked last it was like 150 bucks. You have an awesome job these days, lets just go buy a new copy off ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/...n+saga&_sacat=0

600 fucking dollars!

I will murder whoever stole my fucking copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga!


(I'm also missing other games too, like Lunar 2 Eternal Blue... mother fucker)
