  • The fill came mostly from Needham

    The firm of Goss and Munson extended railroad lines to quarries in Needham, Massachusetts, 9 miles (14 km) away; a 35-car train carrying gravel and other fill arrived every 45 minutes, day and night.[11] When the Needham gravel pits were exhausted, additional fill was found in Canton, Dedham, Hyde Park, and Westwood.[12] William Dean Howells recalled “the beginnings of Commonwealth Avenue, and the other streets of the Back Bay, laid out with their basements left hollowed in the made land, which the gravel trains were yet making out of the westward hills.”[13]

  • There have been some sudden moments where maybe one planet was too easy or one was too hard and [Joel] had to get up in the middle of the night.

    I laughed out loud that they woke this poor dude up in the middle of the night. Like how did that conversation go? “Joel! EMERGENCY! POPLI IX is too hard! Wake up and fix it!”

    Jokes aside, I think it’s awesome they have a game director who can influence the story in real-time to keep things interesting.
