Quarter to Three back among the living!
Quarter to Three seems to have been resuscitated and is recovering nicely. They've been updating again since mid June. And they hate Dungeon Siege too. Tom's also the first person I know of to have the balls to say something negative about Warcraft III. Mark, who generally has his head on straight, seems to be confusing the word 'cinematics' for 'gameplay', although he does touch upon one of the fundamental truths of gaming:
" Blizzard has willfully turned its back on the many RTS games that have come before and shown that there are better ways to handle a lot of these annoying interface issues. This is not an accident of design, but Blizzard just assuming they know better because they're the ones with the million-selling games. That's too bad because historically the little guys who struggle are often the ones who figure out how to do things better in an attempt to break through."
Amen.
