Well that was an exceptionally good interview Chris. My hat is off to you. *doffs hat*

And Ming, you came across as credible too

Whatever happened to Hugo Rune?

Good all round interview I thought.
Like the new format thing too.

What about the (alleged ) Ming photo that showed up in one of those picture contests?

Chris, Ming:

Good interview so far. Quite interesting, IMHO.

We just recently sucked him into Civ... He's hooked and plays mp with us.

An FoA Interview mention??
Man, he really is trying to suck me in.

Oh, and Ming, IIRC -- and I know I do -- the next pinball tournament you win will be your first. A strong player and many-time finalist, yes. But a tournament winner? I don't think so. Sounds like a bad case of Beer Memory...

Ouch... cruel, but not true. Granted, I never won when the "pro's from Dover" were involved. But I was able to pick up some money in Carbondale for smaller events... Thank god most of you guys were in Champaign at the time

Well, Ming, at least you acknowledge the truth -- that if the Illini Pinball Mafia wasn't there, it was strictly minor league.


But I must say, I'm hurt that you never shared your tales of conquest with me...unless it's me that's exhibiting Beer Memory symptoms.


Oh yeah, cool interview. The new conversational style is a huge improvement!

It's up. As good as Part I, IMO, though a little light on details of his issues with CivIII and how to make it a worthy MP game.

I couldn't agree more. IMHO this interview is on par with the interview with Wes and together their the best interviews so far I guess it helps a lot if the interviewer and interviewee (yes, I know that's not a word ) know each other and can get along with each other fairly well...

maybe the Civ3 part is light because Civ3 is boring and talking about it is more boring

A really good one.

I'm also curious about Ming's vision of civ III MP (or civ 2.5 MP). What options are in your mind?

It could also be that the interviewer is tired of hearing about it, and was interviewing a person, not commenting on a game.

I have played with both of them. Rah has his own ideas (pretty good ones), while Ming is good at cooperations. If playing 2 vs. 2 I'd like to team up with Ming.
