Byte-Sized Virtue S06E04 - Humble Like an NPC

2018-03-2309:01

Humility, as defined within Ultima lore, is "about perceiving one's place in the world, not according to one's own accomplishments, but according to the intrinsic value of all individuals. It is the recognition of the worthiness of all beings, and the perception of one's own place among them, regardless of one's own personal accomplishments or mistakes in the world." Which is a bit of a longer way of saying what St. Teresa of Ávila had to say about humility: that it is "living in the truth." Full show notes at spamspamspamhumbug.com.

2018-11-0901:18:21

An interview that I did with Bill Randolph (who worked as the lead programmer on Ultima 9 at Origin Systems for much of its development), which covers just about every imaginable aspect of Ultima 9 and its development (especially the technology behind it!), as well as the internal goings-on at Origin during the late 1990s; Bill graciously gave an answer to just about every question, and you'll hopefully enjoy his blend of humorous good cheer and wistful recollection throughout the discussion.

2018-08-0348:33

Comic book artist, video game writer, and author Wes Locher recently published a new book: Braving Britannia: Tales of Life, Love, and Adventure in Ultima Online. It's a collection of stories about (what else?) the experience of different Ultima Online players and developers throughout the various eras of the game, and was something of a passion project for Wes. We invited Wes onto the podcast to chat about Braving Britannia, its relatively short writing process, how he went about collecting stories, and more. Full show notes at spamspamspamhumbug.com.
