I have nothing against the man, I'm just sick of seeing him everywhere and hearing the same stories over and over. He is like the iphone of game developers right now (I'm referring to coverage, not any quality/hype/let down stuff)

Dyack is a pretty annoying fella. I have to say that this interview did him some favors. I have to give him props for doing things his way and creating an enviornment that rewards employees for their longevity and creativity. He needs to hire a spokesman to talk for him.
Dyack's personality is a microcosom of Too Human. It sounds great on the surface but in actuality the presentation and execution don't live up to the expectations. Whatever that meant.

I guess he's a pretty intelligent guy. Unfortunate that the internet as a medium ignores traits like that.
Looking forward to the next one.

What the hell @ the end? Completely dodged the question it seems...
That death sequence is the most annoying thing I've ever seen in this generation of games.

I've heard about a hundred times that the death scene is to replace a "LOADING" screen instead.
And I think if you would rather see a static loading screen with nothing to look at instead of a brief (what, 20 seconds tops?) cinematic to replace it, then you have some messed up priorities.
I think it's absolute genius and it's so obvious that this improves the qualify of a death penalty I don't know why everyone else isn't doing it already.
In gears the screen goes red and you get to click "Retry from last checkpoint", in Mass Effect you get an annoying musical tune and the option to "Load" or "Resume".
Here we actually have all the work done for us and a neat little cinematic to replace it and everyone bitches.
Seriously, get over it kiddos.

Im not surprised that you don't own your own game company.
If I owned something as cool as Silicon knights I would be wearing tons of SK gear all the time.... to match my SK tattoo. God forbid someone take pride in something that he has dedicated his life's work into creating.
