Insane Difficulty: Interview w/ me (BTB) about Brave New World and modding in general - Insane Difficulty

It's kind of cool to be getting attention from writers like this. My favorite quote from it:

“Obviously it is much more work to create something original than improve upon something else—this is a fact that people who disparage the modding community like to throw in our face. But it’s more than that. We mod existing games because we see the true potential in them and we feel the world needs to see it. We mod a game to be a better version of itself, not something else entirely."

There's a lot of people out there - especially those who take Nintendo's side with the whole AM2R debacle - who inspired that quote. Because they're the people that just don't "get" modding, what it is or what it aims to do. And I'm really glad to see this piece go up to help tell that story.

As an avid reader of fanfiction, player of game hacks, and someone who attempted fanfiction once, I like this article. Thanks.

Great interview, and I loved that somehow Buffy appeared in the intro.
