I was trying to take the band in a direction that I thought was appropriate, and Roth was trying to take the band in more of a Las Vegas direction. And there he is.

To hell with the rules. If it sounds right, then it is.

A man spends the first year of his life learning that he ends at his own skin, and the rest of his life learning that he doesn't.

Most snarky critics had their minds set before ever seeing/playing the game. I'm proud of what we created; it's innovative, responsive & fun.
