Kotaku makes the drama come to life with its wonderful reporting style;<blockquote>Pro tip: when two Japanese video game designers are your
co-panelists, mind your references to the atomic bombing of Japan. It
makes talking about future game development... weird.
Unfortunately, <a title="Click here to read more posts tagged FALLOUT 3" href="http://kotaku.com/tag/fallout-3/">Fallout 3</a>
designer Emil Pagliarulo from Bethesda Softworks unintentionally
referenced that very subject during today's "Evolving Game Design:
Today and Tomorrow, Eastern and Western Game Design" panel at GDC. It
was an innocent poor choice of words, of course, an unintended flub
that was both instantly cringe-worthy and darkly comedic.
After
sarcastically revealing that he drinks cold medicine to find game
design inspiration, Goichi Suda asked Pagliarulo whether Bethesda was
planning on "a Japanese version of Fallout" to which the Fallout 3 designer said, "Well, what can we destroy in Japan?"
After processing that post nuclear destruction and an awkwardly long pause, Suda simply said "Wow..."
"I just realized how stupid it was of me to say that!" Pagliarulo
said, surprisingly understandable with foot in mouth. Obviously, he
didn't mean it that way, but it made the room a bit more ill at ease.
As Fallout 3 is already available in Japan and <a href="http://kotaku.com/5137235/japans-bestse ... game">sold relatively well</a> for a Western-style RPG, Suda wasn't asking for a localization, but one in a more Japanese style setting apparently.
Guess we need to be careful what we ask for.</blockquote>You can read...well that's the whole thing okay.

Bethesda Softworks' "Fallout 3" seized the evening's top prize. The post-apocalyptic shooter, which is set in the ruins of Washington, D.C., blasted fellow nominees "LittleBigPlanet," Valve Software's "Left 4 Dead," Lionhead Studios' "Fable II" and Rockstar Games' "Grand Theft Auto IV" to win game of the year. "Fallout 3" was also awarded the best writing trophy.

"I was a nerd growing up in South Boston," said "Fallout 3" lead writer Emil Pagliarulo during his acceptance speech. "To all the nerds growing up in South Boston, don't play hockey. Don't join Little League. Stay in your room, read your Lloyd Alexander and play 'Dungeons and Dragons.' It all works out in the end."

Selected by a jury of game creators, the Game Developers Choice Awards honor the best games of the past year. ...

Emil was there to live large, his nuke Japan implication was part of the show biz.

I think Bethesda black listed DAC, NMA, and the Codex. I'm guessing they dont allow them to post at any of the sites because it stirs up drama and we can use quotes against them.

Why, just because some silly fucking game made you emotionally in shambles? That's really mature, caztard.

Yeah, I'm sure Cam Neely would trade it all in for a day in your shoes.

As they say in South Boston - what a wicked fucktard (fucktaaaahd).

I'm sorry, did you just say "mature" in a sarcastic sense as a barb/insult to me? That's really...ironic, actually, Vas

but to answer your rhetorical question, I was just listening to some Patton Oswalt and wanted to use "cancer of the AIDS of the eyes" in a sentence...any sentence would do and that was the first opportunity that came up. I wish him and his family the best. He's a hard worker and an asset to Bethesda, I'm sure - all hatred for Bethesda notwithstanding.

Fair enough - although I'm not really sure why you say that, but read my response to Vas for an explanation. Sorry if it ??? anybody
