Today, Friday April 23, an interview with our own beloved Erik went live on http://www.diabloii.net

He was interviewed by Chris Marks for his column Behind the Veil, and opined on several topics, including the making of DROD, experiences he ...experienced while in the design process, and the computer gaming industry in general. So everyone go read the interview, and see what our gaming guru had to say about us!

The interview is here (I can't believe I forgot to put this in the first time)

Wow, good read. That'll probably send a bunch of visitors our way! And I'm mentioned in it too!

Neat!

I only really have 2 comments.

Rankle is an awesome word.

I always expected Mike Rimer to look more like... well, Gandalf, actually.

Is Erik Canadian? He says "eh" at the start of every reply.

Dang, I've gotta get that picture updated. It must have been scribed for me in, like, the 13th century.

I know this is a month behind, but yeah, I knew where Erik lives. It was a bit of a joke that went "whoosh!"
