In this episode, Brian Fargo and I discuss the fall of Interplay even in the face of triumphs like Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Descent, and Icewind Dale. Big changes in the gaming industry led to publishers increasingly playing it safe with fewer and fewer original titles. Brian also discusses his favorite CRPG--Icewind Dale--and how the iPhone and Facebook platforms might be our last great hope for true gaming breakthroughs.

I apologize in advance about the irritating background noise in this segment. The mute button on my mic stopped functioning mid-interview!

    Hope Wasteland 2 is good. Backing! Can't wait for PC gaming to make a huge small developer comeback thanks to fan funding.

    It was a good game, but I don't agree that it was better then BG or BG2. I guess that's personal preference, but most of my friends agree as well we played all of these games

    I used to work in your graphic design department at Interplay, in Irvine. It was the best 4 years of my career life! Too bad it went under, would have loved to retire from there. Wishing you well.

    It isn't like they were going to buy it anyway.

    If I respected my loser roommate, I probably wouldn't make a copy of the crap he is always bragging about. "My dad did this, my dad does that..." this guy is a loser.

    Ok, but does that give you the right to steal their work and give it to people for free?
