Words of CCP's Creative Director, now, on DF's fanpage on Facebook:

Quote
Torfi Frans Ólafsson Brynjólfur: DF is an exemplar sandbox game that shares a lot of DNA as EVE, despite being single player agent based versus massively multplayer based. Zach and Tarn should be celebrated whenever possible, for their perseverance and creativity! And yes, we are fanbois.

The moustache and beard do look good on Toady, I must say.

I work for CCP and am super sad I was too busy running around working all week to fanboy over Toady.

Iceland? Is that where dwarves live?

Dwarves would certainly be better suited to the climate than humans. Although they'd complain about the wood shortage.

imagine how shocked I was watching fanfest to suddenly see Toady there!

Also, the dig about civ 5 being terrible was dead on.  I didn't know Tarn played Eve?  and chess?  pretty awesome.  Also, Zach and Tarn come off as a lot more normal and well adjusted than certain published articles about them tend to imply (I knew this already though).

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

What is CCPs relationship with Bay 12 Games? I play EvE and had no idea there was even a connection.

Both Eve and DF have been included in a MOMA* exhibit.

The talk led into a discussion about art right after Tarn sat down in the twitch broadcast.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised to hear that he plays Dark Souls, though I guess it makes sense, being a more old-school-style game. As far as well-adjusted, you have to remember, this IS Eve Fanfest.
