Thanks. It's an honor. (Scratch head) but when did I become famous in the "off topic" forum?

I was thinking the exact same thing
Good to hear things are going good for you Xin...

[DanQ]

Opps.
Corrected.

...A Good interview- but it seemed far too short... oh well, sadly I can't think of any other questions- but it only took me 2 minutes to read it

It was interesting, however

Good picture

From the master of cutting to the crux of the matter: *In my opinion Sid Meier stands for Sid and his men. He'll no longer be the brightest if he loses his men. It seems to me that he lost some of them.*

I think the new men are doing well (and improving), but I had to chuckle when I read that.

I would have preferred Yin26.

Was that a comment on the question of whether Yin26 was Sid himself?

Except that they created two outstanding features of Civ3 in order to make multiplayer impossible.

As for the interview being too short, well, I can't force Xin Yu to type a lot. I think that his answers, though short, are good and informative.

[Skanky Burns]

Nice interview. Allowed us to see Xin Yu's personality.
Of course, it was a bit too short
Where's part 2??

[Lancer]

I don't think it was too short. He said what he wanted to say and that's fine. Xin seems like a scientist to me because of it. It's nice that they interview people once in a while who don't blither on forever like that last guy.

Good interview

[Skanky Burns]

Scientist schmientist!!
I'm around programmers most days, I actually like people with personality!! Makes a change from people I talk to

It's nice that they interview people once in a while who don't blither on forever like that last guy.

Thats not a very nice thing to say, Lancer. How would you feel if you were that other guy??

Oh...

[rah]

A good typical Xin read....to the point, concise, and left me wanting more. Congrats XIN. I still want to know just how you figured out a few more of those really obscure things.
