Archie Ellis lives!!!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tex ... f=activity

Thank goodness, I thought my decisions the first time around got the poor fella killed in Pandora Directive. He may have aged but the character is as alive as ever.
It's good to see Archie again, and the fact that Bill Bradshaw could get right back into the role so many years later is amazing! I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty more of him in the new game.
That's so cool to see an old character back. Except for the white hair he looked very much the same.

Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.
And now we have a confirmation of ''past lives'' investigations "back in 45", as well as the mystery behind Nicolas Tesla.

Hmmmm

Speaking of hmmmm, did Cub know about Tesla's involvement in the game? WE DEMAND ANSWERS CUB!

Cub is obviously one of those government agents Archie spoke about privy to all the secret info. In fact I have a theory tha--- *gets shot*

I think the "Back in '45" line refers to 2045, seeing as how the story in Project Fedora is set years later than the end of Overseer.

So now we know it won't be just 2045 or 2046 into the future. I'm gonna go ahead and guess we'll see the 2050's now.

Does that mean Tex is going to swing by Seattle and make a deal with a dragon? :wink:

Yeah I am so looking forward to the others!
I was impressed how well Bill Bradshaw got back into the Archie character, he's still got it!

OMG I totally adore Archie! He was probably one of my favorite characters in Pandora, and there he is, same as always. Same facial expressions, same enthusiastic yet paranoid attitude! This guy is priceless - I truly hope we get to see more of him. To me he's like the lone gunmen of Tex Murphy, always there to provide geeky insight and expertise into the obscure when Tex hits a wall. I played the Boulevard of Broken Dreams path once, just once, where I let him die, and I never forgave myself and swore to never do it again.

Edgar Cayce & Nicola Tesla...hmmm...do I sense some foreshadowing? Don't know much about Cayce, but I've studied a great deal about Tesla in my time - the poor brilliant bastards life seems filled with conspiracy. While funded by J.P. Morgan he successfully envisioned (and invented?) a way to harness energy from the ionosphere in the form of electricity, and transmit this energy wirelessly much like radio-waves to power ships on the seas and planes in the air...but as soon as J.P. Morgan realized that that you would be unable to 'charge' for, or place a meter on this form of energy, Tesla's lab burned down mysteriously shortly thereafter, along with most of his notes and equipment. He also had a number of other incredible visions and ideas, almost like the DaVinci of electricity in my mind. A lot of good reads about his work out there - if you're into that kind of thing :D

According to Wikipedia, Edgar Cayce had psychic abilities. Some of his readings had to do with people's health, while others referred to future events and reincarnation. It's interesting that Cub's video mentions Nicola Tesla having designed a death day because Wiki mentions a reading where Cayce said the US would discover a death ray in 1958 with ties to the lost city of Atlantis.

Looks like Tex has some traveling to do.

Looks like we're even in regards to the Crystal Skull.

Right, if someone played through Pandora and Ellis died, then that means that their own Tex isn't canon anymore, even if they were trying to be good, Continuity blah blah rabble rabble
