Good to know :) I'll get back on it as soon as I get bored of farming Diablo 3 and in between working.

Oh god, the nostalgia! :D

Indeed, I played a bit back in early access too from backing the Kickstarter and there's probably a ton more stuff to do now that it's finished.

Hey look, someone that knows football is for their feet :D

I was wondering how long it would be before Carmack voiced his opinion, though I'm not convinced he isn't just being "diplomatic" at the moment.

Sure they have more contacts and behave more like a proper "news site", but the point is they don't just post "news site" content.

I'm gonna say it's probably more Gamestop conditioning than anything else.

Oh for sure, I was just pointing out the heavy reliance on JUST tweaking damage / health in order to do that currently. Good AI will take you much further than damage balancing alone.

This brings into question what we define as "difficulty". We're well past the point that difficulty by damage taken from enemies / how much of a bullet sponge enemies are is anything less than wholly transparent and boring.
