i cant think of anyone who could have done a better interview. thorin just has such a deep appreciation for the game.

[@KostjaMRH]

Awesome interview. Thanks!

[@complexpower]

Nice interview!

[@adob0streak]

u really have the best interviews

[@lingvohacker]

Quality stuff, as always, Thorin! Really enjoyed the interview. I always thought that Strenx was some really cocky amateur nerd and you both now just happened to prove me completely wrong.
I also learned about our players a lot from this interview.
Keep up good work. Nice "Grilled" series.
P.S.: lol @ that @ "pac-man" comment :)

[@TheKSProduction]

at what time in the video does he say that?? i watched the entire video...never heard it??

[@jarkkohaimakainen2378]

Kevin Baeza seems such a decent guy

[@gh4z]

Fair play, he seems genuine. Always thought he was a bit of an arse, but i guess he has moved on since then.
Icey

[@cerlecky]

i have similar personality, lot of thrash talk, but just for fun:D

[@bskdopeboy]

A lot of that is from his younger days, though. Same with Av3k; He rage quit about 100 times :P

[@mikeistp5736]

13:59 hm, some kudos )

[@roguepenguin12345]

I can't imagine how being called buzz lightyear is trash talking. That would pump me so much going into a game.

[@Walkman0007]

hahaha dahang buzz lightyear ;)

[@azngoku666]

hahahaha "god was with him" oh strenx..

[@KARTIKEYA007]

why is he referring to " aim" as "skills"?

[@Tier4Jean]

Lol, its you again) Like oldskool too, huh?
