Oh, man! I -loved- "Six String Samurai"! Crazy, surreal, rambly, awesome.

I have to say, Fallen Earth has started restoring my faith in the MMO genre as a viable storytelling medium. I'm really enjoying *gasp* READING the mission text, and even the random 'flavor' text from conversers and NPCs.

It's going to be interesting to try this game out first hand. I know some features which sound good on paper, end up just being frustrating speaking from my own experiences with hunger and thirst from my MUDing days.

Good interview! I like how Lee Hammock has his priorities arranged. I'm not sure that starvation couldnt be fun… it could have been a good mechanic to get even the most ADD-handicapped quest text skipping xbox live reject to participate in certain activities. Fallout 3's unstarving protagonist is part of why the game felt like a bad shooter and that's it, to me. All these guys around you supposedly on the edge of death, and here you are Superman with none of their problems all thanks to deus ex machina.
