I wrote about QFI for Slate
« on: February 15, 2013, 11:28:54 PM »
Yes yes, self-aggrandizing post, but it's worth a read, if I do say so myself!

Thanks to Blackthorne for all his help giving me the info I needed, and of course, putting me in the game. :)

That's really cool!  I have to ask, how on earth does one become a writer for Slate anyway?

Dude, that's awesome, fantastic article!  Thank you.

I hope it raises the profile of the project, and gets some folks coming on to play the demo.  I'm really quite convinced that a significant percentage of those who bother to play it will be really impressed, and either pledge/pre-order, or at least buy it upon release.

Here's hoping  :D

Please - it's my pleasure having you along for the ride on this.  You're an absolutely pleasure to work with, and your passion for voice acting, and the game in general, can't be beat.

That was a more circuitous path than the voice stuff - I work in the tech policy world, and Slate has a partnership with the organization I work at, New America Foundation.

And Bt, thanks, really - my voice work is going well enough that I can continue to pick and choose, and I'll always choose innovative projects with a lot of passion behind them (and that I want to play myself)!
