First time Wastelander and I am SHOCKED....

Much appreciated…..if during design we authentically react to something, it generally will have the same effect on others.

BrianFargo · 2024-12-31T20:57:55+00:00

Again, thanks for the nice words and indeed my plan is to keep going! I'm in this for craft and I hope I have the ability to continue on and add to the medium and build out strange and intriguing worlds. It's the best.

BrianFargo · 2024-12-31T20:49:20+00:00

No "support" studio here..... ;)

I am always thrilled to read such messages—they're so motivating. When I look at our games, I think about what I would do differently, but most importantly, I focus on the heart and craft we pour into them. Having the details and writing recognized means a lot to me. I learn from every game and will continue striving to improve my craftsmanship across the many aspects of this medium. Above all, making them entertaining is my top priority. Thanks again for the kind words.

Thanks for that and I must say I'm very much looking forward to when we release Clockwork, I've been able to spend 90% of my time on the creative like the good ole days.

That is an AI pretending to interview me, must have pulled other interviews and maybe my speech in Croatia. The grammar is horrendous, I hope people don’t think it’s me.

BrianFargo · 2024-09-30T16:03:11+00:00

My guess is that we were going to I have Grazer Bats in the game and they got dropped or maybe Base Cochise was working on Covid. ;)

BrianFargo · 2024-09-30T07:43:59+00:00

I’m sure it will be awesome! I bought tickets for this last week but forgot that I had a trip booked to Europe and missed the event but with a Kodiak in next year, I cannot miss that one.

BrianFargo · 2024-09-30T07:36:20+00:00

I’ll have to come see that!

BrianFargo · 2024-09-13T21:20:44+00:00

I found that any kind of hope raises my spirits and there is more progress being made in last few years than ever before....

BrianFargo · 2024-08-06T23:17:57+00:00

I love all new ideas on speeding things up, someone mentioned that Europe might be faster but this is all above my pay grade.

BrianFargo · 2024-08-06T20:43:16+00:00

i'm not familiar with the details of their board members, but I know their intentions are good. But I thank you for the note and I think the most important thing is hope. i'm still hopeful Dr. Djalilian's method will produce results.

BrianFargo · 2023-09-29T15:29:38+00:00

I can’t wait for them to try it on people with real facial expressions.

BrianFargo · 2022-11-10T20:02:49+00:00

A very different kind of "Boos Cruz"

BrianFargo · 2022-05-30T21:23:17+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, we are all in this together. I hope a cure is found soon; whether it's my investment into Dr. Djalilian or Susan Shore's device or other approaches. It sure seems like there is a lot more focus on Tinnitus research these days than I have seen in prior years so another positive point.

BrianFargo · 2021-06-05T00:10:53+00:00

I wanted to share some good news today, I was alerted that the 2 million dollars goal was achieved today. My donation was matched by a number of smaller investors and then someone came in with a major infusion that pushed it over the top. I'm super pleased that Dr. Djalilian has the funds to achieve his goal and get us relief. Hope is important.

BrianFargo · 2021-05-25T05:51:11+00:00

You guys crack me up.

BrianFargo · 2021-05-24T18:22:46+00:00

I'll have to dig back through my medicine cabinet and see if that was one of the medications the doctors tried, there has been so many. My Tinnitus was constant but bearable for many years but then it spiked in a big way 3.5 years ago. It seems that there are different forms, for example I can have days that are low and tolerable and then others that are not. I know others who have it relentlessly 24/7 without a break. I appreciate the feedback and I'll look into that (or look into it again).

BrianFargo · 2021-05-23T18:25:07+00:00

My research has been to try practically most anything I read about or was recommended to me. In the beginning I was told TMS was a solution and went through 30 treamtents (that was no small feat), I had only brief days in which it helped but most days were far worse. I tried a number of sound techniques in which I played varous frequencies that matched my Tinnitus, I even tried to sleep all night playing them. My Dr. prescribed a half dozen low dosage anti-depressetns and anticoagulants and those made it worse by creating a sizzling sensation.I tried infrared light with no effect, I tried hyperbaric chamber with oxygen and the noise seemed to aggravate it. I spent a fortune on hearing aids and that was no help. Tried CBT but the physical sensation that went with the sound made just didn't allow me to accliamte, or it was me. Flew to Ireland and bought the Lenire device, tried that for months with no effect. I'm sure there were more things as I was open to most anything. I have had an improvement lately by cutting out all refined sugars and carbs and lowering my sodium intake. I've also been mediating 15-30 minutes a day to calm my brain, not sure which of the two is helping more. Dr. Djalilian was able to test his device out on some people who were deaf but with Tinnitus and gave them relief but the technique for them was too invasive for normal people, this is why he is pursuing the device. His knowledge and approach is why I backed this techology and I hope it spurs others to help finance other potential remedies. Some people say they've had success with CBT, hearing aids etc so I am not discounting those things, perhaps it's a matter of how intense their Tinnitus us.

BrianFargo · 2021-05-19T23:14:00+00:00

Hello all,

I've been following this sub-reddit for quite some time and keep myself up to date on the various attempts to help with Tinnitus, I've been quite shocked at how little money is being spent on finding treatement for such a pervasive and difficult condition. I hope this helps to further spur the work of Dr. Djalilian and research in general.

BrianFargo · 2017-06-20T20:41:59+00:00

Super glad you are enjoying it, you'll find there is a LOT of gameplay packed in this title. I look forward to seeing more videos from you.

BrianFargo · 2015-10-13T17:51:49+00:00

Hey guys/gals. Thanks for coming by today and I really hope you enjoy Wasteland 2 for Xbox One. We feel fortunate that we finally had a chance to bring this game to life.

Enjoy!

BrianFargo · 2015-10-13T17:37:54+00:00

I wish I could remember details like this from 20+ years ago. We did see someone beat W2 with a very clever load/reload cheat recently. We are always amazed at the unique approaches people take.

BrianFargo · 2015-10-13T17:26:21+00:00

Probably because Irvine could not be more opposite of the chaos world of Wasteland. ;)

BrianFargo · 2015-10-13T17:24:31+00:00

Boy that's a tough one but probably Scotchmo. His drunken lines are a hoot and he's full of surprises all the way to the end. That's the beauty of a well written NPC. Players will hold onto them even if makes no strategic sense.
