I am back, and I am excited.

Marriage has been wonderful so far, and nobody sabotaged my computer while I was gone.

The only negative thing going on at this moment is the Scrolls trademark lawsuit nonsense, and I think I came up with the perfect solution:

Remember that scene in Game of Thrones where Tyrion chose a trial by battle in the Eyrie? Well, let’s do that instead!
I challenge Bethesda to a game of Quake 3. Three of our best warriors against three of your best warriors. We select one level, you select the other, we randomize the order. 20 minute matches, highest total frag count per team across both levels wins.

If we win, you drop the lawsuit.

If you win, we will change the name of Scrolls to something you’re fine with.

Regardless of the outcome, we could still have a small text somewhere saying our game is not related to your game series in any way, if you wish.

I am serious, by the way.

Awesome, they need to put a Livestream event.

Did you even look at the date of that blog post?

£50 on the fact Notch loses due to the parent company owns iD software, YOU ARE forgetED!

Most childish way to settle a lawsuit.

And this is a lawsuit.
After getting rich his ego went so big he's doing some stupid stunts.

He's going to lose even if he wasn't kidding.
