I'm glad to hear that this is one of those games where you come back
to life after being killed. I've played a few games that like that
which I would otherwise never have gotten through.

No problem. We should have known that it was a .org domain rather than
a .com domain. :)

I'm suddenly very pressed for time, but I did zip through your home
page and like what I read. There are some very minor typos, but
nothing to be really concerned about.

I like what you said about fragility on your About page. I'd like to
see you expand upon this, perhaps with some real-world examples -- not
for my sake, mine you, but for the sake of others.

Here's an example of a full-length, indie-made, dramatic feature where
the principals involved did take the fragility of the 1080i HDV format
(Sony HVR-Z1U, in this case) into account, with astonishingly good
results, at least in my opinion.
