[ Community -> Interview ] - News related to <a href="http://www.duckandcover.cx/archives.php ... ry=39">Top Story: Exclusive Double Interview</a>

Well I sent Killzig and RexExitium some interview questions and they both responded fairly quickly and I don't want to hold any content back. First up is Killzig (Another past caretaker of DAC);<blockquote> 1. Where do you live and what do you do for a living?

Miami, Fl and as little as possible.
<div class="im">
2. How did you get started in the Fallout community?

</div>Trolling the Interplay forums.
<div class="im">
3. How was DAC started and what part did you play in it?

</div>I
have no idea. I didn't join DAC until JC fired me from Vault13.net for
threatening to sodomize ChrisT.'s earhole with a buttery piece of corn
on the cob.
<div class="im">
4. Why did you give Megatron and Spazmo admin powers all those years ago?

</div>Seemed like a good idea at the time.
<div class="im">
5. In hindsight do you better understand Kreegle's decision to try and give DAC to NMA during the fallout that ensued?

</div>No.
<div class="im">
6. Why did you decide to quit running DAC?

</div>Because I was lousy at it.
<div class="im">
7. What do you think of the RPGcodex and NMA?

</div>Not much. Kind of curious as to why they attract so many trannies and furries though.
<div class="im">
8. What are your thoughts on Darkunderlords retailation to DAC after some DACers decided to spam their forum?

</div>He didn't go far enough.
<div class="im">
9. What games are you currently playing or looking forward to?

</div>Just
picked up Red Faction: Guerrilla and after a brief intro with it seems
like it's a lot of fun. Not that any of you miserable cunts would
appreciate that.
<div class="im">
10. What did you think of Fallout 3 and its DLC?

</div>It
stinks but I can't stay away. I play all of it out of some perverse
sense of duty. They need us in that game, uncovering every quest and
pointing out how stupid it all is.

That's it. Sorry to prattle on with that last answer.</blockquote>Next up is Sol Invictus (also known as RexExitium);<blockquote>Hi Pooper. I'd first like to thank you for taking the time to conduct
an interview with me. I admit that it came to be as a surprise, but it
seems like fun so I'll answer your questions.</blockquote> <blockquote>1. Where do you live currently and what is your profession or are you in school? 

Don't you think that's a little personal? We don't know each other that well. [Malaysia or some other Asian place. Also probably a community manager or unemployed -Pooper]
 

2. What do you think of the Fallout community that occupies RPGcodex and DAC? 

I can't say that I've given the communities much consideration, but
from what I can see, the Fallout community is as passionate as it ever
was and Bethesda's arguably botched handling of the Fallout franchise
has understandably ticked off a lot of people. 

3. What did you think of Fallout 3 and any DLC for it you played? 

I found Fallout 3 to be underwhelming in most regards. It seemed, at
first, exciting--for it is Fallout, after all. But the poor animations
and even lackluster main storyline leave something to be desired. The
VATS system was poorly implemented and the negligent treatment of
SPECIAL is extremely disappointing to me as a fan of both RPGs and the
original game. I did not play Fallout 3 long enough to want to indulge
in any of its DLCs. I've yet to finish the game, and there are many
better games that deserve attention long before I'll return to Fallout
3. 

4. What games are you currently playing or looking forward to? 

I'm currently playing Mass Effect, and The Last Remnant (Xbox 360, turn-based RPG) 

5. After leaving the RPGcodex due to drama and the like why didn't you ever try to make a return to the community? 

It was easier to move on. While I've visited the place on occasion, I
felt little attachment to the community, which had changed so much
since my departure. 

6. There has been many catchphrases (2.8, spinepunch) and even a wiki
(exitiumpedia) based on you, why do you think you are able to draw so
much attention? 

In my younger years, I used to bring attention like that to myself for
whatever inexplicable reason that I can no longer fathom. It was a
lifetime ago and the past isn't something I hold onto. 

7. Why did you stop coming to #fallout? 

At the time when I left, the channel had petered out. There was seldom anything of interest to talk about. 

8. What do you think of Megatron and other famous figures of DAC? 

They have interesting personalities, and that's all there is to it. I
think they make DAC what it is and it would probably be a very
different place without them. 

9. Do you ever feel like your previous reputation in the Fallout
community has affected you negatively in other online communities? 

Not at all. The Fallout community has and always will be insular, and
my supposed reputation (I didn't really think that I had one) wasn't
really all that bad with which to begin. Having been a member of the
core Fallout community yourself, you'd know that there's very little
worth taking seriously in there because the community's become
something of a parody of itself. I doubt anyone took it seriously. 

10. Some say that all the fan sites you create for upcoming games tend
to curse the game into sucking like Supreme Commander and Hellgate:
London, what are your thoughts on the matter? 

It's scary! Let's hope Diablo III isn't on that list. Well, I'm just
kidding. It's a pity that Hellgate: London became what it was, but I
enjoyed the community very much, so I don't consider it to be a total
loss. Just to get technical, I don't think Supreme Commander was a
flop, because it actually managed to pull in a decent profit. They're
currently creating a sequel to it. 

11. What do you see for the future of the Fallout community? With Fallout: New Vegas down the line, I think it can only get better.
Though Fallout 3 hasn't been the best game, it managed to impassion a
lot of new gamers into becoming fans of the series, and that's just the
kind of thing that the community needs to move forward.</blockquote>

Cool to read some community stuff once in a while, although you need to grill them a bit more.

It's weird. I think you can recognize Rex just from his writing.
