And the owner of Stardock is...controversial. If Jeff can get Avadon on Steam, there's really no compelling reason to put it on Impulse as well. Mostly-open platforms like Apple's app stores are a different matter. That's really what we need in the indie gaming world.

Anyone who's actually used an iPod touch or an iPhone or a Nexus One will find these comments utterly incoherent. Multitouch is really, really neat. Interacting with a map with pinch zooming is simply a better experience than even the full mouse and keyboard. It's particularly appropriate for Google Earth. Apple has made all the touch interactions ridiculously smooth, and reports indicate the iPad is even faster.
  3. At creation, I tend to assign all my characters exactly two main responsibilities from the list of: fighter, archer, mage, priest, lockpicker. Pair off those roles however you like, and you should end up with a reasonably effective party. Two Mage/Priests at the back is a favorite of mine. Specialize each one only slightly, and unless you're casting high-level spells, you don't have to worry about which is which. Very handy if one gets disabled.
