That's right, it's yet another interview! Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trXGmjLz1lk

The interviewer plays Dwarf Fortress during the interview, which turned out pretty good I think. Highlights include:

• ideas for the fifth dimension
• multiplayer plans
• possible afterlives
• Toady laughing about dying adventurers

Yay!

Not quite sure what I should say other then that.....

Very poor quality Video overall. Always love hearing ToadyOne talk about dwarf fortress, but if I were doing an interview with someone I would want enough respect where the person doing interview TRIED to make the interview audible. Disgraceful.

It has a weird ending but Toadys evil laugh is strangely comforting. Most of my IRL friends don't like me talking about DF so any proof that I am not the only person who finds that kind of stuff funny is good.

I wanted to listen but gave up. Maybe it can be redone with some better volume balance between the two voices.

Aw, c'mon guys! Be more positive!

I could have been a lot more negative I just figured there wasn't going to be much new that I didn't already know about that would justify the extra effort.

You can just tune it so you can only hear Toady. Nothing the other guy says really matters.

If you follow the word of Toad religiously, I don't think there was. But there was stuff he talks about very infrequently, it wasn't one of those interviews where they just go over the basics of what DF is.

I enjoyed the interview. Then again, I enjoy every interview Toady gives. I agree the interviewer was hard to hear at times, but he asked more of the sorts of questions I've been hoping for. I agree that it wasn't really new information, as Toady's spoken about alternate dimensions before, but if people don't follow the development logs religiously there might be small surprises. He also rehashes the features of the next release briefly, which might come as a mild surprise if you haven't been paying attention. The footprints in the stealth mechanics come to mind.

My biggest complaint is the cut off at the end. Toady was just starting to talk about perhaps adding in a few small improvements to the UI in the customary bug fixing arc that follows major releases when the video cut off. Annoying, as I was hoping he would mention what particular problems he is looking at.

Right with you here.  It was a nice video, and great to hear Toady talking about a game in progress.
