Tim Cain has his own yt channel now where he talks mostly about his projects at Interplay and Troika. Pretty interesting stuff about who earned most, Brian Fargo being a dick, the tutorial in Fallout 2 initially supposed to be skippable etc.

I really enjoy dev commentary and shit like this. Have you seen the dev playthrough of Conker's Bad Fur Day, and the dev playthrough of the Ratchet games?

I have seen the Ratchet developer playthroughs and they're a bit painful because they keep complaining how the games are way too hard (they're not hard at all).

An interview with Leonard Boyarsky, neat.
>Brian Fargo being a dick
Fargo was famous for being an ass and a shit business man, made some damn fine games though.

I keep meaning to getting around to watching it, I've seen like the first 5 minutes.
I've seen Warren Spector's mini-playthrough of Deus Ex.

If you haven't seen it, there's a playthrough of RE2 with Kamiya on commentary

The ars technica interview with Andy Gavin talking about the development of Crash Bandicoot 1 is fascinating.

Didn't he say that if he could changed one thing about Fallout 1 he would have removed the time limit? Or am I thinking of another dev who mentioned this? The time limit does suck and takes points away from the game when it would have been better without it.

Mods have already more or less removed any limits outside of how quickly you have to find Necropolis

Wasn't it removed with a patch nearly immediately after the game release? I didn't have internet access back then and quickly finished the game as is, but I definitely heard/read something about a particular patch (maybe in a video game magazine).

The time limit to stop the Mutants was removed, but towns still get bad endings if you take too long. Also in the original version being exposed to radiation would increase your stats.

Probably dosbox would be an easy way
