  2. Excellent work on these. I'm so glad you made this information avaliable to everyone. Very interesting about the shouting matches between Yu Suzuki and other developers. I hadn't realized the collapse of the soviet union was what lead to the Lockheed Martin deal.

  4. This is a year later but I just stomp at this. To the makers of this: I love what you have done. The visual style rocks and your narrative its smooth as taichi. One can feel the passion pouring from every vignette. I really mean it.
