Happiest Waste on Earth Ep 9 – The Survivalist

Monday, 14th March 2011. This is a photo of my old knackered leather jacket. I wore it into uni today and just thought about how long I've had it for now... over two years I believe. I still love it! It was a good day today, I managed to get into uni for a studio meeting and got some good feedback on my work so far. In the afternoon I couldn't bring myself to look at work anymore so I spent the rest of the day chilling and when Kirsty came back from Uni we chatted and I cooked dinner whilst sorting out photos in the evening!

A father opens his eyes. A cold wind of revenge blows. From the Wasteland, a horrifyingly familiar face walks to the gates of the new oasis that the survivors are building.

He claims that his unfinished business waits inside.

  1. Matt: Unless someone sits down and marathons these… you know for a 36 hour day… that doesn’t exist.

      Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!

      Also yes I vastly overestimated how long it would take to listen to all of these.

  2. The Survivalist belongs in Eclipse Phase… The weird iterative competitive self-improvement strategy would seem to be a standard ‘dark secret’ in some of the… weirder parts of the solar system there.

    Then again, in the Fallout games you gain universally-usable XP from killing things (less so in the system you’re running, or in Eclipse Phase), especially dangerous things, so that would benefit his plan beyond the selection-pressure level…

    Clones: the ultimate powerleveling.
