I swung in to the office to move my borderlands 3 saves (because it doesn't cloud save on epic - what year is this?!) and there are some more things up than when I left on Friday.
Looking forward to when the dev floors have all the art and signage on the walls. It surprisingly helps with creativity.

I wanna see some badass murals!

I'm still waiting for Gamefly to send me my copy. Should have it by Tuesday I'm thinking. Looking forward to it.

Having a frustrating sinus/allergy night. Everybody be kind, and also apologies for whatever dumb stuff I tweet once these two Benadryl kick in.

Wow, I think it's time for another (drum roll) "AMA about Dragon Age 4...tentatively titled 'Nugstorm!'"

Krista D. Ball disappointed a man again. @kristadb1
I'm personally disappointed there isn't a #NugStorm short story in Tevinter Nights. *tsk tsk* I blame @eplerjc personally.

Tough but fair. I think John really let us all down here.

Edmonton Expo is this weekend already! I'll be at the BioWare booth Saturday afternoon. Come say hi! 😊

Everyone seems to be calling the new building the "Elcor Tower", which is fine, but considering this is in the ground-floor lobby, I think I'll just call it "The Hinterlands".



And yes, it's massive.

I saw that! 😱 Ah well. Looking forward to his reveal.

Well yeah, but he HAS to keep talking about the game in order to fund it via Kickstarter  

That's how crowdfunding works - it's hard to back up something and then still patiently wait for this thing to be made if we don't exactly know what it is. Dragon Age isn't crowdfunded, which is why their funding, development and publishing strategy is significantly different (cue Mark Darrah popping in and shouting 'REVENUE RECOGNITION!' or some other stuff).

I mean, the fact that Dragon Age 4 teaser has been shown means that the game has already been greenlit/funded and enough work done on it at time of teaser/auxillary material's release for us to have an idea about the direction the game is heading. So the fact that they're not talking about it as much as people hoping to secure funding via crowdsourcing doesn't mean that DA team is well behind Gaider's indie project or that they aren't excited about what they're working on.

The teaser (that we only guess was about DA4) means nothing of the sort. As most grumps like to point out, it can be cancelled anytime.
