Just the Face

[Raphael van Lierop]

I finally just had to say it -- in person, Raph looks exactly just like a character you would expect to see in TLD.

Can't tell if it's just a spooky coincidence, part of the game concept motivation, or just Raph "staying in character" throughout the development process -- but I do hope (and expect) to see him appear somewhere within the game. )

I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.

....

On that note, true story -- first concept of Mackenzie Hokyo came up with, I told him "he looks good, but people are going to think I asked you to base him on me", to which Hokyo replied, "when I first met you, I thought you looked just like I imagined Mackenzie".

So, for the record, if Mackenzie ends up looking like me, it was Hokyo's idea, not mine.

@LoganG, awesome beard, but where's your jacket?! We don't want you to freeze to death!

[logang]

@Emily_Hinterlander It was only 31 degrees Fahrenheit and I am a big enough target without the coat on. I also have plenty of insulation.

Okay, friends, just in time for the holidays: my long-awaited survival beard, featuring my grumpy dog Hemingway, who ran away in terror when I donned the beard.

Wont be seeing me with a beard . . . EVER !! And thats that !!!!!

[RollingCarey]

I myself have a very sad patch of hair i call a beard but my father has (I may be biased) a beard that could be considered a national monument. I thought you guys should be subjected to its glory.

[Guest emily_hinterland]

WOW, @RollingCarey, that is one mighty survival beard! You put @Raph_Hinterland to shame

[Raphael van Lierop]

Wait just a second...@Emily_Hinterland. He said it was his dad's!

(nice beard)

[RollingCarey]

@Emily_Hinterland alas the beard is my fathers, hopefully genetics are kind and i can replicate it eventually.

Looking manly, Rob.

@Dave_Hinterland...SO SMUG.

[shanthini]

I must say that this game has made me appreciate big beards. Lol! I'm a female so for me to grow a beard would be a turn off but I got the next best thing: Santa beard.

[JetroKoro]

@Dave_Hinterland You look so disappointed. Like someone burnt your pancakes.

My update (already posted on twitter):

[Guest emily_hinterland]

@Shanthini Finally, another fellow female to don a survival beard! Way to rock the Santa beard!

[Raphael van Lierop]

I would not mess with any of you. You're all BAD ASS.

[shanthini]

@Emily_Hinterland: Too bad my real hair had to be in the way of that Santa beard. You can see it on the side.
