I thought is was a nice interview and I look forward to Brad's work on the mutlithreaded AI.  The fundamental problem will be the balance of equipment stats and spell and the new combat engine.  I hope the new AI work will occur AFTER teh balance work and not BEFORE or concurrent with as it will likely make the AI lousy all over again if the Game parameters change after the AI changes.  (note: in 1.09e the AI is still quite lousy when it is threatened.) 

No! If I expect the Kael to know everything about the upcoming design changes and implementation schedules, then he should know and be certain ahead of time and with no prior research or examination! What's to plan and analyse anyway? Just put in a few ninja robots with mega-magic death rays and automated state-of-the-art laser-guided soft-touch zero-irritation butt-scratchers, and you'll have yourself an award-winning instant classic.

*frustrated* Where's Lord Xia when you need a timely and inappropriate remark?

*tastes tentatively, and takes in the aroma*

This remark, whilst adequately inappropriate, lacks the subtlety and ridiculous comical nature of other remarks in the same price range.

You do gain points for timeliness. Sadly though, scouts have reported that my Lord Xia is in Normandy, and that is cause for the delay in appropriation of suitable satire.

How can there be a point to an inappropriate comment? 

My apologies to Lord Xia, the student has failed the Master.

You jest, but a first person game playing as Nym would be bad ass...

My good man, are you forgetting the irregular words of the venerable Sir William W. Wonka? "Stop, don't, come back." No wait, it was something else......got it!, "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men."

Now, change back into your turquoise monkey suit and use your mighty insult powered trebuchet to fling some processed faeces at the hungry troll masses.

I could be a PR rep for you. I excel at obfuscating even the clearest of points. I'll take the context out of your comments and parallel-report multiple ambiguous versions of your quotes in both relevant and non-related media forums, including local train-side graffiti, school assemblies, and seismology reports. By the time I'm undone with your image, cows will be dreaming of Horatio Sanz on a copper plated wooden pallette, eating semi-loose moist gravel, expounding scientific revelations from 3002.7 years after you thought about being born. But isn't Elemental an enchanting 4x game by that great company Stardock, headed up by the always charming Brad Wardell?

So yeah, hire me. You won't have to pay me much, as I will work for limited edition karma. (It comes with a cloth map of my profile).

Lies. You can't have a real FPS without NAZIs to shoot.
