Brad, it's really neat that you still keep this blog going, and occasionally give us glimpses into your actual life (mice leaping out of fish bowls and whatnot, hehe). If the Valve CEO has a blog like this, I have never seen or heard of it. That's not to say that I dislike Valve; but the fact that you acknowledge them as the awesome company that they are, without any hint of bitterness, just makes me want to buy your games all the more. Thanks for these tips and suggestions; I share yo

Reply to How I would fix QoT, in 5 steps in Demigod Demigod Forums

I'm sorry, but removing shambler damage from compost and entourage would bother me. I play QoT a lot, and always take both.

As for why it failed, your paper would be quite an interesting read, because I honestly don't understand why it hasn't gained widespread acknowledgement. Anyways, it just struck me as odd that they accidentally screwed us independent people, and with luck it can be fixed in a patch soon.

Game not dvorak friendly :( in Demigod Stardock Forums

I know the proportion of gamers who use alternate keyboard layouts is very small, but we get by fine almost all the time anyways, because games generally allow us to change bindings. Demigod (a game I love), unfortunately has the camera movement keys greyed out, so I can't both enjoy easy camera movement AND be able to type to my teammates at once. I see no reason why we need to be restricted in this manner; please, can you explain why we can't change those bindings, or give us this minor ext
