Maybe I will.

Meanwhile, does anybody know how to contact the TCancer people? I'd like to ask for permission to put/link to their interview wiht Illwinter.

I presume this would be OK with Illwinter and Shrapnel...?

Huh??? You can link anything what you want, theres no restrictions on that, it is public information.

Better safe than sorry. I got scolded once for linking without permission (the contect was public), and it's a polite thing to do.

I dont get it. If they are posting an interview on a site, it is public information. If you only link the interview, it cant be "illegal". Copying out the interview, and posting it like your own interview might be illegal...but a link?! Anyways, maybe you are right, it is still better to ask them...

short answer
Some would prefer that you send people to their site, not to the article. It might not be required to ask but its always nice to at least make an effort to ask.

longer answer
Its another good idea that got abused on the net. People used to be able to freely link to any graphic or article or animation or download file. But some people got slick at creating really fancy sites that used generated no bandwidth charges (I even used to suggest it). But some small sites got totally shut down by the hits on one graphic or file, and none of the traffic went thru their site to see their ads and stuff. Now many sites watch for things like that and block it.

I would have been happy for Nerfix to include the interview on his site with or without our permission. However, his asking was a classy and polite thing to do. Plus, now I know about a Dominions site I didn't know about before.

Yes, it is certainly okay with us, but you are correct to ask for Tacticular Cancer's permission as they wrote the interview. I've sent an email address for my contact there in a pm, Nerfix.

I'm stepping OT, but "tacticular cancer" makes me think of current state of the Pentagon

..
They surely grew it, are obsessed with tactics to the point they forgot everything about strategy (starting with the meaning of the word).

Heh, that's the best part of the name. Mock it all you want, but you'll certainly remember it. I guess it would've been more accurate to call the site Strategicaluar Cancer, but that doesn't sound as cool (Strategical Cancer may have worked, but it doesn't the charm of Tacticular Cancer ahehe). Besides, if you're so ASHAMED of the name, baby arm, you could just call it Tcancer or woteva.

Anyways, yeah, you can link to our stuff all you want as long as you put a humongous link on the page that says "WE GOTS THE ARTICLE FROM HERE: HTTP://WWW.TACTICULARCANCER.COM"

Staying on topic: Can't wait for the retail version of Dom3 to be released so I can give it a nice and proper review. It's actually one of the few games I look forward to reviewing
